Chapter 469
Xavier thought Melanie would at least feel a bit embarrassed, especially since he had
mentioned her financial situation in front of other people. He did not expect her to return his provocation calmly.
“What does my financial situation have to do with you? I don’t owe the Solomons anything, do I?”
Xavier paused, and as Melanie stood up and walked past Simon, she could not help but stop. She added emotionlessly, “Simon, you dislike me so much, yet you always approach me when you see me. Are you just some kind of masochist?”
Her mood had soured thanks to Simon and Xavier. Melanie decided to send a message to Yvonne, telling her she was leaving when she saw Yvonne pulling Hugh over with a displeased expression.
“Mel, let’s go. This place is crawling with bad luck,” Yvonne said, her tone sour as well.
Melanie was unaware of what happened but then Hugh added, “How is he bringing his fiancée to celebrate his sister’s birthday bad luck?”
Yvonne scoffed. “Did he hit his head or something? Why did he bring his fiancée and invite me? Is he not afraid I’ll make a scene?”
“He didn’t even invite you,” Hugh said casually.
Yvonne’s anger suddenly dissipated as she muttered, “Right, he didn’t invite me at all.”
She remained silent on the way back until they were almost at the villa. She suddenly said, Mel, do you know why I wanted you to accompany me?”
“Why?”
“Because only you wouldn’t ask anything.”
“It’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it,” Melanie replied softly.
Yvonne’s voice was even softer as she replied, “There’s actually not much to say. He never liked me. He likes someone called Talia Allen.” In the end, she fell silent and stared blankly out of the window.
Back at the villa, Xander and the others were still in the living room.
Yvonne was not in a good mood, so she exchanged a few words with Melanie before going upstairs to her room to rest.
“What’s wrong with her?” Reny asked.
Melanie shook her head, but then she turned to Xander and said, “I ran into Xavier. He was with Simon.”
She did not know the exact conflict between Xander and the Solomon family, but she felt that her encounter with Xavier was something Xander should know about.
As expected, Xander’s brows furrowed slightly. “Try not to spend so much time with him.
“Okay,” Melanie replied without asking why. She did not have a good impression of the man
anyway.
“Melanie,” Reny beckoned to her. “I have good news to tell you.”
Melanie looked over. “What good news?”
“There’s a training opportunity in the Oskon City market. Boss thinks you should give it a try.”
Melanie was taken aback. “What training opportunity?”
