Chapter 687
Melanie had no choice but to go since Lee had put it that way. Moreover, this had something to do with Viola too.
She nodded in agreement. “Alright. I’ll be there.”
Lee was relieved. “We can head over together later.”
“Just give me the location.” Melanie paused before adding, “Hugh is waiting for me outside. I’ll go over with him.”
The temperature in the air seemed to drop two degrees the moment she said this. Lee had no idea what to say and glanced at Eugene.
Melanie looked at Eugene and said nonchalantly, “I don’t really want to say this, Mr. Scott, but I feel that it’s best to remind you that it isn’t nice to be a third wheel.”
Eugene stood where he was as Melanie and Yvette walked away.
Yvette finally realized something did not feel right. Melanie did not hide it from her and told Yvette about what happened with Viola.
She did not hide the fact that Eugene had been protecting Viola either.
Yvette was flabbergasted by everything she heard. It took her a while before she managed to say, “What she did was horrible. How could Eugene Scott still appear in front of you and act like nothing had happened?
“No wonder you keep ignoring him. I’d do the exact same thing if it were me.” She patted Melanie’s arm with a somber look on her face. “I think you’re totally qualified to turn your story into a soap opera.”
Yvette kept criticizing Eugene and Viola while walking out with Melanie. Hugh was already waiting outside.
He was getting better at pretending to be Melanie’s boyfriend, except that his expression remained glum.
This time, Hugh brought a cup of fruit juice for Yvette as well. Even though he got it from a normal store, it still cheered Yvette up. She winked at Melanie.
“A younger man is still the best.”
Melanie turned to say to Hugh, “I’ll have to trouble you to accompany me to the police station today.”
When they arrived at the police station, they saw a Bentley parked outside.

Eugene was already there.
Melanie walked in stoically. The investigation result was out. The drunk man who had crashed into them was hired by Viola.
Viola had targeted Melanie, and she hired the man almost immediately after she found out Melanie was coming to Oskon City.
The man had followed Melanie for a few days before finally confirming the routes she took. However, Melanie had been hitching a ride from Eugene every morning to the conference hall. That man had no idea who Eugene was, which was why Eugene ended up as collateral in the crash.
Melanie went through that man’s statement. She was reminded of how she had felt that she was being followed. At one point, she even thought she must be getting paranoid.
