Chapter 269 I Don’t Belong Here

Even though the present was slightly old fashioned, Melarde was undeniably attracted by the money Sue 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 comer of her eyes. A sudden thought fitted 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 Gianna and the rest, so he merely replied, “Go ahead.

A cold smile appeared on Melanie’s lips as she walked out of the parlor. Gianna 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 Baw 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.” Gianna 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. H’ll 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. l-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 Gianna, 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!
