Chapter 392
Stella groaned. “If Luna wasn’t already engaged, I’d really like her to be my daughter–in–law. Those peasant girls can’t possibly compare to her.
Melanie and Reny walked past as she said that, and Melanie heard that last sentence loud and clear.
Stella held her chin up high and gave Melanie a look of contempt. “Some people just don’t know their place.”
Melanie’s expression did not change. After what George and Dylan said, Stella’s words did not hurt her at all
She did not even pause.
However, Carla was looking at her thoughtfully. Melanie noticed her gaze and stopped to nod at her.
Carla was taken aback for a moment before she smiled back
After they took a few more steps away, Carla asked Stella, “What’s wrong with her? Why does she look so haggard?”
Stella rolled her eyes. “How should I know? Maybe someone in her family died.”
Carla shook her head and did not say anything. She had studied psychology in university. Although she had not touched the profession once she got married, she could still sense that something was wrong with Melanie when she saw her.
She looked at Stella, who was already annoyed, and shrugged. “Sorry, it’s an occupational habit. I’m used to observing people.”
When Melanie and Reny arrived at the villa, Xander and the others were still arguing fiercely about something. Melanie had just put their things in the kitchen when her phone rang.
It was Eugene.
His voice was cold and deep, but there was also a lot of fatigue in it. “Come to LeapCo now.”
“What’s the matter?” Perhaps because George had caused a scene at LeapCo that day, Melanie was now reluctant to go to LeapCo.
Eugene must have sensed her reluctance, but he did not give her any leeway. He only said, ” It’s about George.”
Melanie tidied up the things and left the kitchen. Xander and the others had just finished their discussion. When he saw her, Xander asked, “Does your shoulder hurt? If it does, you should get some rest.”
Melanie nodded, then picked up her bag. “I’m going out.”
“Where to?” Xander was already on his feet, ready to join her.
Melanie’s hands briefly tightened into fists. “I’m going to make a call. I have something to take care of.”
Melanie had not told Xander and the others about George’s visit to LeapCo that day.

Subconsciously, she was reliurtant to tell anyone else about it
She was already embarrassed enough, and she wanted to retain some semblance of self- respect.
