Chapter 477
Viola’s eyes widened as she looked at Henry, “Mr. Henry, what are you talking about?”
Henry’s voice was low. “State your conditions. As long as they’re reasonable, I’ll agree. Eugene is
young and enjoys playing around, which is normal. But the Scott family will not just watch if he goes too
far.”
Viola’s head spun. She could not understand what Henry was saying. Gaze lowered, she hemmed and
hawed for a while before saying, “But I truly love Eugene.”
“You truly love him?” The old man sneered, tossing the tea directly into the trash can. His tone was
indifferent as he questioned, “What can your ‘true love‘ bring to the Scotts?”
Viola was shocked by Henry’s actions and was unable to speak. Her lips trembled as tears welled up in
her eyes.
Henry looked at her with a frown as he said harshly, “Miss Shaw, though I have no idea of the means

the standards to be Eugene’s wife.
“If you’re smart enough, make your demands now and leave Eugene.”
Viola was completely shaken by Henry’s words. She was staring at him blankly as if unable to speak. It
was not until the caregiver helped the old man up with a cane and left that Viola regained some
composure.
She looked at the cup in the trash can, feeling extremely embarrassed. One million? How ridiculous.
Even the things Eugene casually gave to Melanie were worth a million. Why should she accept one
million to leave Eugene?
Viola could not help but recall Henry’s gentle demeanor toward Melanie. His gaze had been tranquil.
Melanie had no idea what transpired at LeapCo.
She had been busy coordinating various business matters the past few days and would occasionally
accompany Xander and others to the site. The on–site setup was almost in its final stages.
It was evening when she received a call from Eugene’s grandfather. Henry had a coughing fit before he
finally asked weakly, “Mel, do you have time tomorrow?” It was Friday the next day, and Melanie did not
have much to do.
“What’s the matter?” she asked.
“I haven’t been feeling well since I came back. Eugene and the others are busy, so I have to
shamelessly ask you if you have the time to accompany me to the hospital,” the man replied.
His coughing had been real, and after thinking for a moment, Melanie said, “I’ll come pick you up
tomorrow.”
Henry had indeed not been feeling well. He was losing his appetite these days and had trouble
sleeping at night. Not only that, his blood pressure had increased.
When Melanie arrived, the caregiver had already packed everything. She took Henry directly to Jepton
Hospital.

examinations here.
Due to her experience in taking care of her grandfather, Melanie was familiar with the hospital
procedures. She handled the various formalities and then led Henry to carry out the
examination.
When they were done with the last examination, Henry sighed and said, “Mel, you’re really meticulous.”
“If you feel unwell at all, just let me know,” Melanie said.
Henry waved his hand.
Holding a pile of documents in her hand, Melanie was about to check the time when she
caught sight of someone–Mason. Displeasure crossed her features when she noticed she had been
encountering the man more frequently lately.
She did not like his methods and did not wish to interact with him much, so she moved Henry
somewhere else.
