Chapter 225
Hearing Eugene’s indifferent reply, Melanie felt her heart so brutally crushed that she struggled to catch her breath for a moment. She looked at Eugene in disbelief. She was supporting herself on the cabinet, and her knuckles turned white from the force she was exerting
Melanie felt a ringing in her ears as her head buzzed. She could not comprehend this. She could not understand how Eugene could say such things. Even if he disliked her or was fed up with her, he should not have said such things.
Nausea surged within her as Melanie’s face started to pale. She bent over slightly at the waist in an attempt to alleviate her discomfort. Eugene was still there, dressed in a sharp black suit. Every button on his shirt was meticulously fastened.

Melanie hesitated for a moment before saying, “Hard to say. They have many options. They might not even choose LeapCo.”
Xander chuckled lightly. “Really? I thought we could indirectly cooperate this time.”
