Chapter 811

Eugene was standing before the French windows, wearing a well–tailored dark suit that made him appear silent and gloomy.

His dark deep–set eyes exuded a more profound and restrained aura than before, yet an inexplicable sense of distance kept others at bay.

Eugene’s deep voice resonated. “Are you sure she’s in Nava?”

Lee replied, “Some time ago, people on a business trip to Nava encountered Melanie at the Solder family’s company.”

After speaking, he looked at Eugene.

Previously, they had all thought Melanie meant little to Eugene, and they believed Melanie would be the one to regret their falling out.

However, it turned out that Melanie was the one who chose to leave in the end.

Lee could not remember how many times he had gone to the bar to pick up Eugene, only to witness him drinking himself into a stupor. One day, he ended up in the hospital. He was finally better now.

Eugene grunted with acknowledgment and did not ask further. He was still gazing out the window.

His last contact with Melanie was a transfer of 1.5 million, which was deposited into a new account..

The bank indicated it was in Jepton.

There was no message, only a string of cold numbers.

It was evident how much Melanie wanted to avoid him.

A wry smile appeared on his lips as he rubbed his fingers and silently looked at the sky outside.

After a moment, he asked again, “How about William?”

Lee said, “The board is currently anxious, and the chairman strongly supports William.”

A hint of faint mockery flashed in Eugene’s eyes. “What a deep father and son bond they have.”

Lee dared not speak further. The dispute between Eugene and the Scott family was well–known to everyone. Naturally, they also knew that Cedric had another son.

This son had been personally brought into the headquarters for training by Cedric in the year Eugene was expelled. Now, he was the head of the Planning Department.

It was easy to tell who carried more weight.

Lee asked, “What about Nava?”

“Don’t disturb her.” Eugene’s voice grew heavier.

His matters had not been dealt with yet, so there was no need to disrupt her peace.

A trace of tenderness and concern, unnoticed by himself, appeared in Eugene’s dark, deep eyes.

He looked into the distance, tightly pursing his lips. He could not let anything hurt her again.

Yvonne kept talking about Meredith throughout the journey. Even when Melanie corrected her and explained that based on seniority, Meredith should address her as Aunt Yvonne, Yvonne would not listen.

She insisted, “Merry sounds nice, and I’m her big sister.”

Melanie nodded. “Yes, Reny is her godmother, and you’re her sister. The relationships are a mess.‘

Yvonne did not mind and happily took Meredith as her younger sister.

The taxi stopped at an upscale residential area, and Melanie took Yvonne upstairs.
