Chapter 847
Even after leaving the hospital, Melanie did not dare to think too deeply
about the meaning behind Eugene’s words. It felt like he was hinting at
something, but she did not want to know what.
When she hurried back to the hotel and saw Merry playing with Yvonne,
she heaved a sigh of relief. Yvonne was puzzled. “Why do you look so
anxious? Is someone on your tail?”
Melanie went over to hug Merry and kiss her on the cheek. Merry
immediately stuck to her like glue.
“By the way,” Yvonne said, “Timothy’s brother is asking around about you.
He probably ran into trouble with Eugene, so now he’s looking for you
directly.”
Melanie frowned. “What does he want from me?”
“1 don’t know, but you should be careful. Timothy is a nasty piece of work,
and his brother is probably
even worse.”
Yvonne was right. It was always good to be careful.
That night, as expected, Melanie received a call from Timothy’s brother. His
attitude was pushy, and he demanded to meet Melanie.
Melanie had just put Merry to bed. She went out on the veranda to answer the
phone, declining his demands outright.
The man was clearly displeased. “Miss Smith, all this started because of you.
Don't you think you should be responsible for the consequences of your
actions?”
He was being unreasonable. Timothy was the one who picked a fight and ended
up behind bars for it. Why should she be the one to take responsibility?
She could not help but ask, “What do you mean? How do you want me to take
the responsibility?”
“Timothy is in jail now, and Eugene was injured. All three of you were involved,
but in the end, you were the only one who escaped unscathed.” The voice on the
other end of the line was full of contempt. “Melanie, I heard that you're doing well
in Nava. In that case, I'm sure you know the extent of my family’s influence here.”
That was a blatant threat. Melanie pinched the space between her eyebrows..
If she wanted to continue to develop her career in Nava, she could not afford to
offend the Harmons any further.
Surprisingly, Stella also reached out to her after Timothy's older brother had his
turn.
She was as haughty as ever, tossing a file in front of Melanie. “I don’t care what
you said to Eugene, but he can’t make an enemy of the Harmons.*
Melanie looked at Stella, who was tapping the file in front of her.

Stella ranted, “Eugene isn't going to relent. He is determined to send Timothy to
jail! Did he was trying to get a partnership with the Harmons recently? Now
you've gone and ruined everything.”

Eugene had indeed been spending more time with Timothy recently. Melanie had
considered that there could be a deal in the books. However, she looked at
Stella. “What he does with Timothy is his business. What does it have to do with
me? You should take it up with him.”
Stella slammed the table and scowled. She looked like she was about to swear
like she always did. However, she eventually deflated and massaged her temple
wearily. “Melanie, just... let Eugene go. If he loses the Harmons, it's equivalent to
losing LeapCo.”
It was the first time Stella had spoken to Melanie in such a tone. The fatigue
in her eyes sanded down her sharp edges, and she finally looked older
than her years.

They were happy once, in the beginning. Even though Eugene was cold by
nature, he had always treated her differently from the others.
He would remember her tastes and worry about her night blindness..
When did things change? When did their paths diverge?
To be honest, Melanie had never thought about it seriously. She knew she
would just end up grieving
what could have been.
Before leaving, Melanie returned the file to Stella without saying anything.
