Chapter 269 I Don't Belong Here

Even though the present was slightly old-fashioned, Melanie was undeniably attracted by the

money Sure enough, he’s rich and handsome! If this man belongs to me, I swear I won't be looking

at any other men in the future. Landon treats me well, but he is really stingy. When she was deep in

her thoughts, she saw Kate walking out of the parlor from the corner of her eyes. A sudden thought

flitted across her mind. Aha! I was just worried that my frustration had nowhere to be released!

Then, she told Landon gently, “Landon, I'm going to the washroom.” Landon was deep in

conversations with Camila and the rest, so he merely replied, “Go ahead.” A cold smile appeared on

Melanie's lips as she walked out of the parlor. Camila took a sip of the tea in front of her, also

revealing a vindictive smile. A leopard never changes its spot. She's bound to reveal her true self

some time. She raised her head and looked at George. Then, the both of them exchanged smiles.

On the other hand, Landon was still speaking enthusiastically, “Do you still remember when Tiger

just arrived? He hid himself when he saw us giving injections. The patients were calm, but he himself

burst into tears. Is he much better now?”

George replied, “Yeah, he's just afraid of needles. After that, I asked him to be the receptionist

instead.”

Landon smiled. “Good idea. Tiger is smart, and he’s good with money. Is he in his twenties now?

When I was there, he was only around 15.” George replied, “You are only three years older than him,

yet you make it sound like he’s much younger than you.”

Camila chuckled. “However, at that time, Landon didn't look like he was just three years older than

him. He was very tall; Tiger was probably intimidated by him.” When they were still chatting away,

Landon’s phone suddenly rang. After seeing the caller ID, he picked it up perplexedly. “What's

wrong, Mel?” Melanie choked. “Landon, please carry on. I-Il leave first.” Landon frowned. “Why?

Come stay with us for a while longer. We'll leave together.” “N-No. You guys carry on. I'll go back in

a taxi.” Her voice sounded sad on the phone. Landon’s face darkened as he frowned. “Where are

you?”

“I'm at the hotel lobby,” Melanie answered. “But you don't have to come here. I'm fine. I-I'm just not

feeling too well, so I would like to go home first. You don’t have to worry about me.”

The more she said, the more Landon felt that something was wrong. He got up: immediately to

open the door of the parlor. Immediately, he saw Melanie standing at the lobby, fully drenched.

Water dripped from her clothes, and her cheeks looked swollen. When she saw her, her eyes turned

red immediately. Landon strode over to her. “Mel, what happened to you? Who did this?” Melanie

merely looked at him aggrievedly. Even though she said nothing, the reluctance was clearly shown

in her eyes, sending a clear message-she had been bullied.

Worried, Landon quickly asked the waiter for a towel and wiped the water from her face. Then, he

took his jacket off and put it on her.

"What happened? Tell me!”

Melanie looked at Camila, South, and George in the parlor fearfully. “Katie said that this was a

private gathering between a few of you, and I wasn't included at all. She blamed you for ordering

the dish for me, and she said that I shouldn't be here. She even said that I was f*cking disgusting

when I cried. I tried to reason with her, but she slapped me right after. Then, she poured a bucket of

water on me in the washroom.”

Landon’s face immediately darkened. If she had given him other reasons, he might not have

believed her. But he definitely believed that Kate would say such words. On top of that, she was not

afraid of showing her viciousness in front of him. It's not enough for her to throw tantrums at me, is

it? Now, she even started attacking Melanie!
