Chapter 668
Howard’s last few words were enunciated so clearly it was as if he were implying something deeper.
Melanie could not help but glance at him, only to see him sigh and shake his head silently.
Unable to stand it any longer, Gaston reached out and slapped the table. He said loudly, “Melanie, you’re such an ungrateful daughter. Do you think Howard is doing this for anyone else? It’s all for you.
“As for his affair in Jepton, do you think we don’t know about it? Howard was genuinely afraid of you being mistreated, but what did you do? You went with someone else and even distanced yourself from
him.”
Gaston’s indignation was palpable as he looked at Melanie with anger.
Melanie’s fingers curled slightly while looking back at Howard, her emotions fluctuating.
Howard knew about Viola. It meant that he had gone to Jepton for an investigation. Whether he had investigated Eugene or her, however, was hard to say.
Gaston sighed again, lamenting to the people around him, “Parents always worry about their children, but their worry doesn’t always get repaid.”
His words made it seem like Melanie had done something wrong to Howard. Even the two women who had shown a bit of sympathy to Melanie exchanged glances and silently lowered their heads.
Sam also seemed displeased, and the atmosphere of their meal turned sour. However, he could not say anything to Eugene and Melanie. He could only look at Howard and Gaston in the corner.
He gently said, “Mr. Smith, the younger generation will do right on their own. You don’t need to worry too much.”
Howard was caught off guard by Sam’s words and hesitated for a moment before quickly offering a smile. “You’re right, Mr. Walsh. She’s just my daughter, after all. What parent lets go of their children
so easily?”
After saying this, he put down his wine glass as if having come to a decision. He looked at Melanie. He sighed heavily but said nothing, portraying the image of a caring father perfectly.
With Sam’s intervention, both sides decided to drop the topic. They thought the matter was settled, but to everyone’s surprise, Matthew suddenly spoke up.
His indifferent gaze fell on Eugene and Melanie as he chuckled softly. “Mr. Scott is indeed an outstanding man. It’s normal that he would have several people by his side. I heard that he’s the most sought–after in Jepton.”
Sam expressed some disagreement at that and replied, “What do you mean it’s normal to have several people? Matthew, Nicole is different from other women.”
There was no sign of nervousness in Matthew’s gaze as he redirected it back. “You’re overthinking it.

I just find it interesting. Mr. Scott’s former secretary is now with Harvey. We met a couple of days ago,” he added.
Harvey was well known among those in the Oskon market, and their expressions changed subtly upon hearing his name.

Matthew then looked at Eugene again. His jet–black hair seemed soft. His eyes, bright as obsidian, were meaningful as he warned him, “Since Mr. Smith loves his daughter so much, you shouldn’t treat
Miss Smith the same way you treated Miss Shaw, Mr. Scott.”
