Chapter 740
Viola roared at the end. She was so loud that Melanie looked up at her.
Viola noticed Melanie’s stare. No one knew what was going through Viola’s mind when she staggered. as she tried to stand. She headed toward Melante.
“Do you feel happy now? Are you proud of yourself?” Viola stared at Melanie intensely and hatefully.
“What right do you have to think that you’re better than me, Melanie? You’re cheaper and dirtier. than anyone in this world. Why bother with all that pretense? What’s so great about sitting on your high horse?”
Viola questioned her with clenched teeth.
Melanie looked at her without any show of emotion. She did not even blink.
Viola hated it when Melanie looked at her that way. She shouted shrilly, “Answer me, Melanie Smith! Answer me! Stop giving me that disgusting look!”
“Viola,” Melanie finally spoke. However, her expression was still stoic. She sounded cold as she lowered her eyes to talk to Viola, “Are you still insisting that you have nothing to be guilty about?”
This made Viola stop. Her shoulders quivered. Before she could say anything, she saw a figure come up to her from the spectator seating.
Eugene looked tall and foreboding. He approached them with a calm look on his face.
Viola’s face lit up as she called out to him, “Eugene…”
Melanie looked up at Eugene before turning to look at Viola. She said lightly, “The verdict is out.”
She was reminding Eugene that everything had been set in stone. There was nothing he could do for
Viola now.
Viola looked at him hopefully, but Eugene was staring at Melanie. There was a soft look in his eyes as he asked Melanie in a low voice, “Where did you get the idea to have George Chapman as a witness?”
Melanie was taken aback. “Miss Henson was the one who thought of it.”
Zara was still around, and she began chatting with Eugene.

Yvonne and the others came over to Melanie as well. Yvonne ran straight to Melanie to hug her. ” Congratulations, Mel! I knew you’d win!”
She threw a delightful glance at Viola after saying that. “I remember someone acting all high and mighty before this.”
Viola bit her lip and looked at Eugene, but he did not even look at her.
She was infuriated as she clenched the corner of her shirt. Viola immediately lunged toward Melanie.

However, the moment she stepped forward, all Viola saw was black.
Viola was right next to Yvonne when it happened. Yvonne was scared by her and jumped to the side. ” What the hell?! Is she going to pin this on me?”
There were still people around in the courthouse, and they quickly came over to help Viola.
Yvonne and Reny joined the crowd to watch them rescue Viola, but Melanie was not interested at all.
She went to Zara instead. “Thank you, Miss Henson.”
Zara paused in her conversation with Eugene and looked at Melanie. She looked between Melanie and Eugene thoughtfully and said, “It’s my job.
“Besides, someone asked me for help on this, and it’s only right for me to do my best.” A rare smile. appeared on Zara’s usually stoic face.
