Chapter 1

Melanie Smith went to pick up Eugene Scott as soon as the banquet was over.

She pushed open the private room door and bumped into a young lady.

The young lady was pleasing to the eye. She had fair skin, bright eyes, and straight teeth.

Melanie recognized that she was the new intern from the secretary’s office.

When Viola Shaw looked up and saw Melanie, she panicked for a moment before she murmured, “Hi, Melanie.”

Melanie brought in some of the cold air from outside. She was gorgeous, but she did not smile often, so she looked unapproachable.

She hummed lightly and scanned the private room before her gaze fell back on Viola. She asked calmly, “Where is Eugene?”

Viola was a little flustered at the mention of Eugene’s name.

She raised her eyes uneasily to glance at Melanie. Her voice was so soft that Melanie could barely hear her over the loud music in the private room.

Viola replied, “Mr. Scott went to buy me a drink.”

Melanie cocked an eyebrow and scrutinized Viola.

Melanie had been with Eugene for so many years, but he had never bothered to do anything. for her.

Last month, Melanie rear–ended someone and sprained her left wrist, making it inconvenient to do anything. But Eugene did not even offer to get her a glass of water.

Viola panicked under Melanie’s gaze. She gripped her clothes tighter and said in a restrained voice, “Mr. Scott should be back soon.”

Melanie said nothing.

She went to Hearth City for an impromptu meeting last week and hurried back today to attend the Scott family’s dinner.

Eugene did not have a good relationship with his family, so Melanie always went to the Scott family’s dinners on his behalf.

The two women at the door attracted the attention of other people in the private room. The lights were dim, so they could not recognize Melanie.

A man joked, “Ms. Shaw, your beloved Mr. Scott has only been gone for a short while. Why did you have to wait for him at the door? You can chat with the two other ladies in this room.”

The man’s voice was loud, so Melanie could hear him clearly.

Viola tensed up and explained to her awkwardly, “Melanie, they’re just joking. This is the first time Mr. Scott has taken me out to this kind of party. He’s just looking out for me.”

Melanie did not know whether Viola was dimwitted or just pretending not to understand the situation.

The people in this room were all Eugene’s friends.

Moreover…

Melanie raised her eyes to look at the person who spoke.

She could tell from his tone that he had accepted Viola into his circle.

When Eugene introduced Melanie to these people for the first time, they did not treat Melanie so well. They gave her the cold shoulder and left her alone.

These elitists in Jepton looked down on outsiders. If Eugene had not told them to be nice to Viola, they would not have accepted her so easily.
