Chapter 464
When Eugene’s grandfather saw Eugene, he frowned. “Why isn’t Mel here? I brought her a gift.”
Eugene took the luggage from the caretaker. “I’ll drive you back home.”
His grandfather stared at him. “It seems that the rumor I heard is true.”
“What rumor?” asked Eugene.
His grandfather sneered. “I heard you fired Mel and you’re dating a new girl now.”
He looked at Eugene as he said regretfully, “You’re a fool!”
Eugene could not retort to an elder, so he only let his grandfather scold him. “Mel is the girl I want you
to marry. Let me tell you, don’t learn from your father. That’s being foolish.”
Melanie had no idea Eugene’s grandfather was praising her as soon as he got off the plane. She was
still researching the project for Xander and Oliver.
Although she was responsible for business negotiations, she still felt proud and happy for herself when
she finished the proposal.

was on a business trip and had not returned.
Fortunately, the amended proposal was quickly approved, and everything was fine.
However, Melanie was still worried and confirmed twice before leaving, “Are you sure it’s fine?”
It would be troublesome if LeapCo looked for trouble again in the middle of the project.
Lee assured her, saying, “I approved this according to the terms Mr. Scott gave me, and I’ll send Mr.
Scott a copy. If anything needs to be amended, I’ll contact you right away.”
Only then did Melanie feel relieved. She was about to leave after bidding farewell but noticed Viola
looking at her from the office.
Melanie did not look away. She stared straight back at Viola.
The amendment of the proposal dragged the progress of the project, giving them less time.
Everyone went to help out at the site due to the renovations that needed to be done. Only Melanie was
left in the villa, dealing with the documents.
It was two days later when Lee called her again. He was frank and told her why he called. LeapCo will
check on the site again.”
“Sure. When are you coming? I’ll take you there,” asked Melanie straightforwardly.
“Today at around 3:00 pm”
Melanie looked at the time. “Should we meet at the site or LeapCo?”
“We’ll pick you up.”

Melanie thought it would be Lee and the others inspecting the site, yet it was Eugene.
His black yet luxurious Maybach pulled over outside the villa. Melanie thought he was here to look for
Clara.

However, when the window rolled down, Eugene’s side profile appeared in front of her. He had his
hand on the steering wheel and looked cold as ever. “Do I have to invite you to get into the car?”
Melanie’s brows knitted together as she opened the car door.
The scent of the car was still the same, fresh but mature.
The two said nothing along the way.
When Melanie got out of the car, Eugene said emotionlessly, “Grandpa is back.”
Melanie stopped. She recalled the years she dated Eugene. No one in the Scott family liked her except
for Eugene’s grandfather.
However, he had to go abroad because of his health. Melanie never contacted him except for when
sending him wishes during festive seasons.
She asked, “How is his health now?”
“Not bad.” Eugene’s voice was cold, and he did not show any emotion. “He brought you a gift. Visit him
whenever you’re free.”
Melanie was taken aback and subconsciously wanted to reject the offer.
