Chapter 336
To be honest, Melanie was not as calm and collected as she looked to be when she saw those photos.
However, she did not want to reveal this in front of Quentin. He was a ruthless and despicable man. If
he caught a whiff of any weakness from her, it would be difficult for Melanie to walk out of there
unscathed.
By the time she had gone downstairs, Lisa was gone. Melanie was reminded of Lisa’s warning, and
she pressed her lips with an upset expression on her face.
“What was going on between you and Eugene yesterday, Simon? I heard you had an
argument.” She was about to leave when a few people walked in. A very mad–looking Simon was in
the lead.
Simon was in a bad mood, and when he spotted Melanie, the look on his face turned even colder.

Melanie could sense the look he was giving her, but she ignored it and continued heading outside.
Simon still looked angry even after she left.
Someone asked, “Was that Melanie Smith?”
Simon cursed in a low voice and said unhappily, “This is a terrible venue. Let’s move somewhere else!”
Before he left, someone called out from behind, “Mr. Quindland!”
Melanie returned directly to the North district without informing anyone that she had met Quentin. She
began analyzing the information of the companies that Xander had given her and began making notes
on a few companies that looked easier to deal with.
Early the next morning, Melanie met Xander with the information she had put together. They began
meeting the people in charge of the new companies that were considered smaller in scale.
Even though these companies were slightly hesitant, their attitudes were much better than Vanke and
the other more established companies.
After that, they met a representative from another company with a similar attitude.
Melanie looked at the list at hand. “These remaining companies seem to have made a unanimous
decision. It’ll be difficult to convince them otherwise. Moreover, Quentin Emerson is determined to
make a mark at Vanke. He’ll push through this venture on behalf of Vanke.
“That main problem still lies with Vanke,” Melanie determined.
She had considered trying to get into the crux of the issue by targeting Quentin’s work ethic, but the
risk was too high, and they might get implicated.
Xandre’s face fell slightly, and he looked tense, even a little stern.

The Jepton exhibition was crucial for them to elevate their reputation within the country. It could also
pave a wider path for them in the future.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe looked down. “I’ll think of something.”
“There is another way.” Melanie was silent before continuing in a low voice, “We can
approach LeapCo directly.
“The reason why Quentin Emerson is so arrogant is mostly because he has LeapCo in his hands, and
LeapCo belongs to the Scotts.
“If we can cut the ties between LeapCo and Vanke…”
Before Melanie could finish, Xander interrupted her. He stared at Melanie with his dark eyes. Do you
mean we should approach LeapCo or Eugene Scott?”
Melanie paused. “I don’t see the difference.”
“It’s a big difference.” A look of exasperation flashed in Xander’s eyes. He seemed to sigh as he said in
a low voice, “I’ll figure a way out of this. You don’t need to get involved.” Melanie looked down and
answered despondently, “Alright.”
Meanwhile, in the office of LeapCo, there was an unfathomable look in Eugene’s dark eyes. He was
looking at a message that was just sent to his phone, and it was difficult to know what he was thinking.
