Chapter 321 Soft Hearted The waiter served the dishes on the table, and left with the tray. The two women sat in the private room.
Olivia served Lena some food and said with feigned casualness. âDid you hear?
Melanie wants to hold a perfume exhibition in Willowfort.â
âIs that so?â
Lenaâs hair stood on end at the mention of Melanie.
Seeing the pure hatred in Lenaâs eyes, Olivia feel reassured. She said with deliberate melancholy, âYes, she is. She embarrassed my fatherâs company and claimed his credit, and came up with a perfume with the same name. Now, she even wants to hold a perfume exhibition. She really doesnât know when to stop! Sheâs bent on making my dadâs life a living hell...â
Olivia was on the verge of tears as she spoke, which made Lena frown. She reached out to hold Oliviaâs hand, and said, âMelanieâs evil. Sheâs been that way since she was young. I know that best.â
The thought of how Melanie plotted against them and humiliated them during that dinner with all the bigwigs of the industry made Lena grit her teeth in anger.
âShe refuses to let up! My family has been in Willowfort for less than a month, and here she is tooââ
Olivia tried to steer Lenaâs thoughts. âI heard your second uncle has an exhibition organizing company. Will Melanie work with him this time?â
âMy second uncle is obsessed with maintaining harmony within the family, so that might be possible.â Lenaâs eyes lit up. âOur family now lives with our second uncle. Iâm working in his company, too. My second uncle treats me very well. Olivia, donât you worry. If Melanie is really intending to work with him, I promise to put her in her place and show her whoâs boss!â
âThatâs great! I knew youâd have a way to deal with her,â Olivia said with a smile that didnât reach her eyes.
âWhatâs the matter?â
Mr. Smith saw Melanie looking distracted. Melanie looked away, and continued walking forward. âNothing. I just saw two people I know.â
âDo you want to go over and say hi?â
âNo need. Theyâll probably lose their appetite if they see me.â
Melanie smiled as she followed Mr. Smith into the innermost private room. She didnât expect to see Olivia and Lena still remain in contact with each other.
After what Olivia had done to Lena at that banquet, Melanie thought Lena would have seen through Oliviaâs true colors and broke off all contact with the former. The reality was, Lena was wicked at heart and also blind.
+15 BONUS Melanie herself was surprised to see Lena in Willowfort. If Lena was around, then her father Daniel would be around, too. Melanie was starting to get worried over her second uncle Damonâs soft-hearted nature.
However, another thought came to mind.
The perfume exhibition was based on âSiberian Butterfliesâ, which was a follow-up from the mountain bike race. The Hans familyâs reputation suffered a hit from the incident. They were probably paying close attention to her exhibition.
She should be worried about herself right now, and not over her second uncle.
After pondering for a moment, Melanie pulled out her phone and texted Damon anyway.
âDamon, Iâm in Willowfort right now. When are you free for us to meet up?â
Damon replied to her message when they were almost finishing up their meal. âIâm free anytime. Just come to my house. Lena and her family are here, too.â
It was exactly as Melanie had expected.
Her eyes grew cold. Damon had always been sensitive and soft-hearted, and certainly unable to withstand Lena and her familyâs emotional blackmail to the point of allowing them to live in his house.
Damon sent her another text.
âMelanie, although thereâs been a conflict between you and Lena, you two are still sisters. Even if you two canât be close to each other, at least donât be enemies. Itâs better to seek reconciliation than to keep a grudge alive. Come to my house tomorrow, and Iâll help mediate things between you two, all right?â Melanie sighed. Lena and her family wanted her dead. She could do without family like that.
She quickly typed a reply. âDamon, Iâll go to your office and find you tomorrow afternoon.â
She had to first persuade Damon in order to ensure that things go smoothly for the perfume exhibition.
