Chapter 664
Melanie had nothing to talk to Eugene about apart from work.
She looked outside the window, thinking about the time it would take to reach the hotel.
Soon, when they were about to reach the hotel, Lee received a call. He looked stern as he
glanced at Eugene through the rearview mirror. “Mr. Walsh’s secretary wants to make an
appointment to have a meal with you. He wants to talk about the contract.”
He sounded worried as he glanced at Melanie.
After all, Sam had probably gotten in trouble, and he wanted to discuss the contract at this
time. It was probably not a good thing.
Melanie sensed Lee’s gaze. She looked back at him and said, “I can get out of the car if
you pull over by the roadside.”
Before thinking twice, Lee said, “Your father might be there.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMelanie was startled. Howard?
She was in a trance as she recalled Howard stopping Eugene from meeting an important
client. With a frown, she looked at Eugene.
Eugene looked slightly irritated, but he hid his emotion when his eyes met Melanie’s.
He said indifferently, “Pull over the car up ahead.”
Melanie sensed something was off.
Before Lee could say anything, Melanie asked, “Is Howard still giving you trouble?”
Melanie knew how shameless Howard could be. She would not doubt it if she was told that
Howard was trying to make things difficult for Eugene.
However, Eugene said nothing and lifted his eyebrow. “Are you afraid I might hurt him?”
She was in a puzzle as she looked at Eugene. “What did Howard do?”
Eugene answered her indifferently, “He’s just using some despicable means.”
She closed her eyes and clenched her fist. “Did it affect your business?”
Lee glanced at them and saw Eugene looking outside the window. He did not seem like he
wanted to talk about it. He cleared his throat and explained things to Melanie.
“Howard is spreading rumors about Mr. Scott bullying others. He’s saying Mr. Scott forced
himself on his daughter and is being irresponsible. He’s accusing Mr. Scott of being a
scumbag.
“Most importantly, Howard seems to know many people. With these rumors going around,
things have been bad for Mr. Scott and LeapCo’s reputation…”

company anymore.
However, Howard was ruining Eugene’s name by using her.
She could imagine Howard’s disgusting appearance when he pretended to be a caring
father.
Melanie grabbed her bag and asked Eugene, “When did he start doing this?”
Eugene seemed to be blaming Lee for having such a loose mouth. He glared at Lee before
turning to
Melanie.
After pondering, he said, “You just got discharged. I’ll drop you off at the hotel.”
“Do you think I won’t care about Howard’s matter?” Melanie saw the helplessness in
Eugene’s eyes and insisted. “He’s using my name to put on a show. Why should I just let
him do whatever he wants?”
She looked at Eugene stubbornly. “I’ll go with you.‘
