Chapter 860
When Eugene left LeapCo, Melanie followed without facing any obstruction.
She thought it was because she held a low position and was not worth much effort for the company to
retain.
She did not believe William’s words.
She had experienced a lot with Eugene for the past nearly ten years. In the beginning, she thought their romance was deep. She was blissfully ignorant.
However, as that gradually withered, she realized that perhaps the romance was just a fleeting excitement for Eugene.
Melanie was slow to warm up, so it took her a long time to accept this.
She looked at William with a cold gaze. “Mr. Thames, you speak well and have the ability to twist the truth. It’s been many years, and I’ve almost forgotten all about it. Surprisingly, you remember it clearly.”
William said, “I have a deep impression of you. After all, I met you when I just arrived at LeapCo.”
When she left LeapCo, Melanie’s expression did not look good. William’s words kept echoing in her
mind.
Cedric, Eugene, LeapCo…
These things happened long ago. It was so distant that Melanie had to think hard to remember some
of them.
The first time she saw Cedric at the company was unexpected. At that time, she had just joined LeapCo and was busy every day. She often needed a reminder to remember to eat lunch. Eugene would bring her lunch to supervise her.
At that time, she was picky about food, and Eugene was willing to give in. Hence, he let her pick out all the things she did not like to eat and put them on his plate.
Cedric appeared at that time. It was also the first time Melanie saw a completely different side of Eugene. He had a distant expression and exuded a sense of alienation from within. He even had his guard up.
It was directed at Cedric.
Melanie did not understand at that time. She had asked Eugene about it, but he did not give a direct answer. He did not have lunch with Melanie at the company after that.
Upstairs, William looked at Melanie downstairs with a hint of mockery in his eyes. Women were indeed foolish. A few words could lead them to self–doubt.

Once doubt arose, it would inevitably spread rapidly. As for him, William turned his gaze to the massive desk in the office, determination evident in his eyes.
He eagerly anticipated the internal dispute between the Scott family’s father and son.
Melanie stayed outside until the afternoon before returning to the villa, but her mood was not very good.
William’s words were highly suggestive, as if he wanted to remind her of her past with Eugene again.
Melanie needed to learn what he was up to, but she would not delve deeper. It would be foolish to jump into a trap when she knew someone was setting it for her.
However, the Scott family had probably already begun their internal strife. It would have been fine if she were alone, but now, with Meredith, it was difficult not to be manipulated by Cedric or William.
Melanie returned to the villa with various thoughts on her mind.
Meanwhile, at a LeapCo branch, Lee said, “Mr. Scott contacted Melanie today.”
Eugene froze, and Lee continued, “It might be about Meredith. He’s found out about her.”
