DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 866
Chapter 866
It was highly likely that Melanie had found out Eugene was the one renting the
house.
Eugene let out a sigh and glanced sideways out the window. The sunlight was
bright, almost blinding.
Melanie stayed until the evening before heading back. She had no plans of
asking Eugene what was going on. What did it have to do with her if he was
willing to spend money and pretend to be a kind person behind her back in an
attempt to persuade her? She would not be losing
anything.
She originally planned to buy some pastries from a nearby century-old bakery
but unexpectedly ran into William. Accompanying William was an elderly lady
with graying hair. Melanie's brows furrowed, and she instinctively wanted to turn
away.
However, William noticed her before she could and smiled, greeting her, “Miss
Smith, what a coincidence.”
“Not really. It seems I should've left a few minutes later,” Melanie replied.
William did not mind her rejection but instead smiled and said a few words to the
elderly lady. He then said to Melanie, “You don't need to be so hostile toward me,
Miss Smith. I just work at
LeapCo.”
“Mr. Thames, you misunderstand. I just don't like interacting with strangers
much.”
The smile on William's face almost faltered. He glanced at Merry and remarked,
“This is your daughter with Eugene, right?”
Melanie's expression turned cold, and she remained silent.
His smile grew even broader. “She's very cute, and she looks a lot like Eugene.
No wonder he’s willing to confront the chairman for you two. If I had such a cute
daughter, I wouldn't bear to see her suffer even a bit either.”
Melanie felt repulsed by William's hypocrisy. He was an illegitimate child. His
mother’s
feelings were definitely not the only thing that blinded Cedric and made him
irrational enough to clash with both Stella and Eugene.
Exhausted from dealing with him, Melanie made up an excuse and left with
Meredith. William was someone she could not deal with.
Behind her, William watched as Melanie left with the child. A hint of mockery
flashed in his eyes. He composed himself and turned to his grandmother,
accompanying her to buy some
pastries.

William's grandmother sighed. “Your mother loved this shop's cakes the most.
When you visit her tomorrow, bring some for her. I'm getting old. I don’t know
how many more times I can go see her. You must remember these things.”
The mask on William's face dropped, replaced by solemnity. “I know.“
“Your mother has had a difficult life.”
“Those who have wronged her will face the consequences,” William vowed.
He glanced in the direction Melanie had left, his eyes deep with contemplation.
His intentions were unclear.

Equally surprised, William said, “What does Eugene intend to do? He knows
