Chapter 807
Melanie had already asked Yvette for help renting a place in a good location in Oskon City. The house
had a nice layout.
Once she settled down in Oskon City after coordinating her work with Oliver, she was not very
worried about the situation in Jepton because Xander was there.
The only person dissatisfied with her departure was Yvonne.
Just after Melanie finished setting up her new home, Yvonne’s calls started pouring in, and she complained to Melanie several times.
“All of you left, leaving me all alone! Now my dad is starting to pressure me into going on blind dates again, and this time, it’s that idiot, Simon. Can you believe it?”
Yvonne grumbled as she continued, “Simon has been probing me about your whereabouts, but I
didn’t tell him.”
Melanie knew precisely why Simon was asking about her through Yvonne.
After chatting with Yvonne for a while, Melanie hung up. She was not afraid of Eugene as she was in
Oskon City.
Oskon City was big, and they would not coincidentally run into each other.
Besides, she had Yvette help her find a secluded place away from the city center.
The accommodation conditions were not luxurious, but the neighbors were friendly. On the day she arrived, the lady upstairs even brought her a basket of eggs.
“I heard you’ve been on bad terms with your family lately. Evelyn is so angry she’s thinking of returning to Prime City,” Simon casually asked, swaying the liquid in his glass.
“Is this necessary? It’s not a good idea to fall out with your dad. Be careful or he might fire you from LeapCo too.”
The person he was talking to did not respond to his words.
Eugene sat across the table, pouring himself another drink. Simon could not take it anymore and snatched the bottle away.
“Take it easy. It’s only been a short while since you were admitted to the hospital because of gastric bleeding, and you’re planning to get yourself in there again?”
“I’ll be fine,” Eugene replied succinctly, reaching for the bottle again.
Simon looked at him with a complicated expression. “Eugene, you’ve never been like this before.”
Eugene let out a self–deprecating chuckle.

2/2
Simon knew he could not persuade Eugene. He shook his head, his eyes filled with regret. Even so, he
did not stop Eugene,
He just gestured for the waiters to take away the untouched bottles of alcohol.
Eugene had been spending his nights in bars for the past few days, and many had seen him.
Two sexy women approached him, carrying glasses of alcohol. They flirtatiously offered him a room key card.
One boldly winked at him. “Wanna give me a try?”
Eugene stopped drinking and looked at the woman who spoke. She thought she had caught his attention and began posing more seductively.
This man had been in the bar for five days, doing nothing but drinking. He was obviously trying to forget some misery.
From experience, they naturally could tell that Eugene was not an ordinary man. He was wearing designer clothes that were worth six figures.
Not to mention his handsome looks…
Sleeping with a man like him would be worth it even if it was just for one night.
However, before she could strike a more enticing pose, the room key card she offered was thrown back at her. It brushed her face as it flew past. Then came a low, hoarse voice. “Get lost.”
The woman was startled and angered, but she only dared to curse in her heart as she turned and
followed her friend out.
