Chapter 150
Melanie could not believe it.
At the same time, she was completely numb now. Even her own voice sounded distant to her ears.
Dylan, I don’t have the money to treat her.”
Dylan immediately jumped to her feet in shock. “What do you mean by that? You just promised to save
her! You can’t just abandon her!”
Dylan grabbed Melanie’s arm tightly and said in a panic, “I’ve asked around. You have that contract
with your boss, right? If you ask your boss to fire you, h–he’ll have to pay you the compensation!”
Melanie’s gaze instantly turned cold. She wrenched Dylan’s hand away. “Who told you that?”
The terms of her contract with LeapCo were secrets that only insiders would know.
Melanie automatically looked at Viola.

the beans…”
Dylan’s wails filled Melanie’s ears. Behind her lay Peachie, still unconscious.
It was all too much. Melanie had a terrible headache, so she briskly walked out of the ward.
She needed to take a breather now. All these things were pressing down on her heart until it pounded.
Just then, she heard a quiet snicker from her. Melanie turned to see Eugene standing there,
expressionless.
The top two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, making him look dangerously unkempt. His tone was
mocking. “You never change.”
Melanie said coldly, “I don’t want to argue with you now.
“It’s a pity that Stephen is in Jepton,” Eugene said casually, his phone in his hand. “Otherwise, you
could have asked him for help again.”
Melanie was already in a foul mood, and Eugene’s sarcasm tipped her off the edge.
She could not help but snap back, “Even if I asked him for help, it has nothing to do with you, right?”
“Melanie Smith.” Eugene’s expression did not change. He was already much taller than Melanie, and
now he was closing in, forcing her to look up at him.
He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “You’re really something. You have Stephen in Jepton and
Xander in Hearth City. I suppose I underestimated you.
“I wonder, do they know you’re playing with them both at once?”
Eugene’s words were harsh, and Melanie was already furious. She instinctively raised her hand to

slap him.
Eugene reacted quickly and grabbed Melanie’s wrist. His gaze turned cold. “Are you going to hit me?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Melanie lowered her head. Her entire body was trembling, and there were tears in her voice.
“Eugene, could you stop saying such things?!”
Eugene frowned for a moment before letting go of her hand. Even so, his tone was still less than
friendly. “Why are you crying? Didn’t you want to save everyone all by yourself?”
Melanie dug her fingers into her palm and gritted her teeth. “Yes. I deserve this, don’t I? I
overestimated myself. I thought I could do this, but I can’t.”
Melanie wanted to slap herself right now.
She thought that as long as she was nice to Dylan for long enough, Dylan would finally remember that
she was also her daughter. Her mother would remember that she had raised Melanie too.
She always thought that no mother in the world would be so heartless.
She could at least get a little of her mother’s love, right?
Just a little… That was all she ever wanted.
