Chapter 287
“George explained everything to me.” Dylan rubbed her hands as she looked warily at the young man in front of her inside the Office.
Eugene was seated behind his table. He looked coldly at her as he sized her up with a sardonic look in his dark eyes. He suddenly sneered and said frostily, “Does Melanie know you're here?”
The last few days had been horrible for Dylan. Her father was admitted to the hospital after being angered, and her youngest daughter was in the hospital as well. Besides that, George had been calling her every day to harass her.
She glanced at Eugene bitterly before saying hesitantly, “Mr. Scott, Mel has been fortunate to be working for a boss like you. It was wrong of me to stir up trouble in your company before. I’m sorry about that. I’d like to officially apologize to you.
“| remember that you helped her before. Could you help her out again?”
“Help her?” Eugene tapped on his table. It was difficult to tell what he was feeling from his tone. He looked at Dylan and said impassively, “I thought you knew that she has been fired from LeapCo.
“Why should | help her when she’s no longer an employee here?”
Dylan had no idea that Melanie had left LeapCo. She did not follow any online news, and she thought Melanie was still working here.
However, Dylan quickly changed her tactic and asked, “It was mentioned before that her contract with the company states that if she’s fired, she'll be compensated several hundred thousand. Am | right?”
Eugene paused as he stared at her with a dark look in his eyes for several seconds. He then said sarcastically, “That’s right.” “Can... Can you pay it to me directly? I’m her mother. | should have the right to collect the money on her behalf.” The sarcastic look on Eugene’s face vanished as he stared emotionlessly at Dylan.
This unsettled Dylan, but she remembered what George said to her. She continued, “I know what’s going on between you and Mel. You can treat it as a meeting gift for her parents. We deserve it from you. Besides, you're a rich man, and you have no lack of money, right?”
The more Dylan talked about it, the more convinced she was with her reasons. “Also...”
“| think there must be some sort of misunderstanding.” This time, Eugene interrupted her coldly before she could finish what she wanted to say.
“Melanie and | don’t have that sort of relationship you’re talking about. We're just two adults getting what we need. I’m not obligated to give any meeting gifts to you.”
Dylan wanted to say more, “I...”

The office door was suddenly pushed open, and Melanie stood at the door with a frosty expression on her face. 1/2Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
What a show.
She had just arrived at the office only to witness her mother begging for money from Eugene. Dylan was even deluded enough to think that Melanie had a close relationship with Eugene.
Melanie could not understand what Dylan was thinking. Did she plan on making Melanie lose every ounce of her dignity before she stopped her antics?
Dylan did not expect Melanie to show up and stood where she was, stunned. Melanie did not care what Dylan was thinking. She grabbed her by the arm and dragged Dylan out. “Come with me.”
Her voice was cold. She was a tornado about to sweep Dylan away into the storm.
Dylan tried to struggle out of Melanie’s grip while she was being dragged outside. She sounded pitiful. “Take pity on me, Mel. | really have no idea what else to do. You keep refusing to give me the 500 grand you promised me.
“| did lie about it before, but this time, I’m telling the truth. He’s going to go to Peachie if | don’t bring the money back. “He won't let me off. If you want to give me the money, give it to me now, Mel.”
Melanie had no idea what a leech Dylan could be. Once she bit into Melanie, she shamelessly refused to let go. Claim Bonus For Free Every Day>>
