NovelEnglishChapter 555
Melanie had not been driving for a long time since her shoulder got injured. She had been taking a
taxi.
When the black Maybach pulled over before her, she took a few steps back.
The window rolled down, and Clara’s smiling face appeared. “Miss Smith, what a coincidence. Are you waiting for a taxi? I can
give you a ride.”
Melanie could see Eugene’s side profile from outside. She rejected Clara’s offer. “It’s okay. I am waiting for someone.”
“Is it Xander?”
Melanie said nothing, seeming like she was admitting it.
Clara smiled disappointedly. “Please excuse me for disturbing you. I could have a chat with you in the
car.”
Melanie said, “Goodbye, Madam Clara.”
Then, he rolled up the window and sped off in the car.
Clara looked at Eugene’s cold face and sounded helpless when asked, “Who annoyed you this time?”.
Eugene put on a straight face and looked ahead.
Clara smiled and hugged herself. “Did you turn on the cooler? Why is it so cold here?”
Eugene glanced at Clara through the rear-view mirror. “Grandpa is still waiting for you at home.”
Clara had a good relationship with Henry. Henry liked her more than he liked Stella because he and Clara’s father were
comrades in the military. They were best friends.
Meanwhile, Stella married Cedric because she got to know this man through Clara.
Clara shook her head and quipped, “I am like the matchmaker for the Scott family. I introduced your parents, and now you?”
Melanie and Mason agreed to meet in the city center, and Mason was already there when she arrived.
After putting down her handbag, Melanie got straight to the point. “What are your conditions?”
Mason glanced at her impressively. “It feels good to talk to smart people like you.”
Melanie looked at him.
Mason was a cunning man with many despicable tricks. So, Melanie was on guard even when speaking to him.

“Do you want a cup of coffee?” asked Mason.
Melanie looked at the coffee before her and asked calmly, “Were you the one who drugged the drink
the last time?”
Mason lifted his eyebrow. “Of course not.”
However, Melanie could tell there was a high chance it was him from his expression.
Melanie calmly said, “There is no need to beat around the bush. I don’t want to waste so much time
on you.”
With a plastered smile, Mason froze and placed a USB drive on the table. “The things you want are here. I can give them to you
if you agree to one condition.”
Melanie looked at the USB drive. “What condition?”
“I want the core confidential information of LeapCo.”
Mason was confident. “You have been working by Eugene’s side, and getting in touch with those isn’t difficult for you.”
Melanie said nothing.
Mason tried to incite Melanie to speak. “Everyone knew you were loyal to Eugene. Even those in the industry like us envied
Eugene for having a reliable secretary like you.
“However, he was ungrateful and even dumped and fired you.”
