Viola’s grip on the phone was so tight that even her knuckles turned pale.
She did not understand why Eugene, whom she had loved for years, could not care less about her. He only looked at Melanie. When he dated her, no matter how Viola hinted at him, Eugene never slept with her.
However, he let Melanie get pregnant with his child.
Viola could not accept being treated differently by Eugene.
She could only vent her resentment on Melanie.
If it were not because of Melanie...
If Melanie was gone...
The last bit of hesitation in Viola disappeared. She turned off her phone screen and turned around.
Melanie was standing on the balcony to get some fresh air. There was a handrail here. Yvette took her here every time the conference ended to get some fresh air.
Melanie had been worrying about Redwaves' tender, yet Xander kept comforting her. Thus, she did not show her worries. However, she had promised Xander to get it done.
She was looking at the messages in the group Yvonne and Reny set up for the three of them. Yvonne shared a restaurant she found and invited Melanie to accompany her when she returned to Jepton.
Yvonne tagged Melanie in the conversation, and Melanie was texting her back. Suddenly, a shout came from behind her. “What are you doing? Can't you see someone is there?”
It was Yvette’s voice.
Startled, Melanie turned around and saw a young man in his 20s holding a number of logs behind her.
Those logs were thick. They had not been sanded and had rough surfaces.
Most importantly, they were long. The logs might have knocked into Melanie’s waist if Yvette had not stopped that man. Melanie was standing by the stairs, and if the logs had knocked into her, she might have been pushed down the stairs.
Even if she was not knocked down, it would cause severe injuries if the logs hit her waist.
Melanie looked at the three—meter distance between her and the young man. She was shocked and broke into a cold sweat. She looked at the young man, but he was looking at the ground and hiding his face behind the logs. He

Yvette was already beside Melanie. She pointed as she scolded him, “Can't you look ahead when you walk? She's pregnant, and if you accidentally hit her, she might miscarry. Do you think you can be responsible for that?”
The young man apologized, but he did not show his face. Yvette held onto and lectured him before asking him to take another route.
Then, she looked at Melanie. “Are you alright? That shocked me. Fortunately, | came in time.”
Melanie was also afraid. She calmed down and asked, “Why did you come outside?”
“Here.” Yvette looked at the wheelchair. “I came to bring you this. The doctor told you to rest and move less. You should be sitting here obediently. Why did you come out? It’s so dangerous out here.”
Melanie seemed unbothered. She took a deep breath and sat in the wheelchair.
Yvette pushed her into the room and sighed. “Being pretty is so nice. People care about you even when you go out to get some fresh air.”
However, Melanie was thinking about something else and did not hear Yvette’s mutter. Melanie seemed to be unlucky that day. Just as she entered the conference room, she bumped into Matthew walking out.
He glanced at her coldly from above, acting as if he was looking at a stranger.
