Chapter 714
Jepton’s police had called Viola a few times, urging her to return to Jepton for the investigation. Viola knew it would be difficult to turn the tables if she returned this time.
Eugene would not help her, not to mention Mason.
As for Harvey, he chose to dump her as soon as he knew the police had called Viola.
Thus, the only person who could help her was Matthew.
Viola bit her lip and mustered her courage before entering the company.
As soon as she entered, she saw a thin woman with pale skin at the front desk. She looked weak, as if she needed to be protected.
Viola glanced at her a few times, and Nicole sensed it. She looked back at Viola. Nicole’s eyes were clear and bright, yet Viola hated the sight of them. She disliked looking into such eyes.
They looked foolish and pretentious.
She looked away and told the front desk receptionist, “Hello, I’m here to look for Matthew.”
The front desk receptionist asked, “Did you make an appointment?”
Viola lifted her chin and said, “I’m his friend and have something important to talk to him about. He has brought me here before.”
Hearing this, Nicole stopped and turned around. She looked at Viola’s arrogant posture with a puzzled look.
Frowning, she blinked as she walked toward Viola.
She stopped beside Viola and hesitated before asking, “Hello, do you know Matthew?”
Viola heard the sudden question. Nicole’s voice was crisp and fresh.
Displeased, Viola looked at Nicole. She did not like Nicole, thinking Nicole was just being pretentious.
“I’m sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Matthew’s …” Nicole wanted to explain. After all, she had seen Viola in Matthew’s post.
She was curious. However, before she could finish her words, Viola snapped at
her.
with a disdainful look, she arrogantly scoffed. “What does it have to do with you?”
Nicole sensed Viola’s hostility and frowned. “Are you a close friend of Matthew’s
Smiling, Viola said meaningfully, “We’re indeed close.”
Then, she bumped into Nicole’s shoulder and headed to the elevator, leaving Nicole in a puzzle.
The ceremony ended in the evening, and the organizer invited everyone to a meal. Melanie wanted to reject it but could not. Yvette tapped her shoulder. “Today is the last day. Bear with it.”
Eric walked over with a sigh. “I don’t want to go. The dinner is boring, and having to toast the superiors is annoying.”
Melanie was pregnant and could not drink. She would only be able to sit there.
Moreover, Harvey would be there. With him around, Melanie and Burning Star Studio would be mocked again.
Melanie shook her head and texted Xander about the conference.
She was supposed to return to Jepton after the conference, but with Redwaves‘ tender, she would have to stay here for some time.
