As expected, Howard started questioning her again as if he were interrogating her, “You’ve always
denied having any relationship with Eugene. I’m asking you one last time, is that true?”
The mockery in Melanie’s eyes grew even more intense as she replied, “And if I say ye-”
She was interrupted by Howard’s commanding tone as he sternly lectured her, “If there’s really nothing
between you and Eugene, then you should know about Peyton’s daughter being engaged to him, right?
“If there’s nothing between you and Eugene, then you should stop associating with Eugene in the
future. Don’t let people start talking about you seducing a married man!”
Melanie listened to Howard’s words emotionlessly, not at all surprised. “What if I say my child is his? ”
she asked.
Howard fell silent but quickly responded without hesitation, “Can’t you just listen to my advice? Do you
have to get involved in these unnecessary matters? What do you think Eugene is? What qualifications
do you have to be with him?
“You listen to me, Melanie. People should know their place and not fantasize about things or people
that don’t match their status. If your child is really Eugene’s, then go deal with it properly.”
Melanie immediately ended the call once he was done.
Howard spoke of things so lightly, but it all boiled down to one thing–she had to make way for Evelyn
no matter what.
Melanie thought she would feel angry, but after hanging up on Howard, she felt utterly bored. It was
hard to muster any interest after being disappointed in someone so many times regardless of what they
did.
Reny and the rest did not spend too long in the church before coming out. Xander wanted to stay
outside with Melanie, but Oliver had dragged him in. He insisted that as the boss, Xander should
personally pray for Burning Star Studio’s smooth year ahead.
As they approached Melanie, Xander noticed her lack of energy and offered her a candy from his
pocket. “Are you feeling a bit tired from waiting?”
Melanie was indeed a bit sleepy after basking in the soothing sunlight. She looked at the familiar candy
in Xander’s hand and asked, “Where did you get this kind of candy? I’ve never seen it in the
supermarket before.”
Xander raised an eyebrow. “Do you like it?”
“It’s delicious,” Melanie replied.
A hint of a smile appeared on Xander’s usually indifferent face. His eyes looked charming in the warm
sunshine of Prime City. “All that matters is that you like it.”

Putting aside the matter with Howard, they had a great time in Prime City. Howard did not contact
Melanie again after that phone call, so she was able to relax for a few days.
However, she still kept an eye on the situation in Oskon City. After the holidays, she would be heading
back there.
During this time, Melanie learned something interesting. After being granted medical parole, the affairs
between Viola, Mason, and Harvey were exposed to the public.

As for Viola’s medical parole, Matthew had orchestrated it, but Melanie did not yet know his intentions.
Thus, she decided to wait and watch.
She was more interested in something else Yana mentioned. “You just said LeapCo is preparing to
acquire Burning Star Studio?”
