The evening sky was still not completely dark yet, and the distant sunset looked beautiful, creating a
relaxing atmosphere. Just as Melanie let out a shallow breath, she heard someone speak behind her, ‘
Madam Stella, the environment here is nice, and the hot springs are all natural.”
Reny reacted quickly, whispering, “Some people really don’t give up easily.”
Evelyn and Stella approached them from behind. Cedric was nowhere to be seen, but Eugene’s tall
figure was following behind them.
Stella instinctively frowned when she saw them. She glanced at Melanie disdainfully but refrained from
making any sarcastic remarks.
The bamboo forest rustled gently. Reny found the squirrels on the ground adorable and started playing
with them.
They would have to have their IDs checked ahead as the hot springs were on a reservation basis. Only
a limited number of guests were accommodated each day. Hence, the inspection was thorough and
everyone had to wait in place.
Eugene stopped not far away. His gaze lingered briefly on Melanie before he quickly looked away.
Melanie remained oblivious to this but not Evelyn.
She chuckled lightly and then turned to Eugene, saying, “My mom really likes Crane Mountain. She
even mentioned having our engagement party here. Eugene, what do you think?”
Her voice was not loud, but it was clear enough for everyone nearby to hear her. Her tone was normal,
however. It was as if she was just genuinely seeking Eugene’s opinion.
The already quiet place grew even quieter as Evelyn awaited Eugene’s response. Eugene’s gaze
toward her was stern and warning.
“Let’s go,” a gentle voice beside them spoke up.
“Xander and the others are done getting their IDs checked,” Melanie said to Reny. She was not
particularly keen on being with Evelyn and was about to suggest leaving with Reny when she suddenly
felt the ground tremble slightly.
At first, it was just a slight tremor, but it gradually grew stronger. The bamboo leaves shook violently
around them, creating a dizzying and disorientating scene.
Before Melanie could even react, she heard Reny scream. Then, she saw a dark shadow rushing
toward her! The shadow was so fast and terrifying that Melanie did not even have the chance to evade
1. it.
Just as the shadow was about to pounce on her, someone pulled her backward. She narrowly avoided
the squirrel that had leaped into the air due to fright.
Suddenly, Evelyn screamed beside her. The squirrel that Melanie had just avoided leaped toward
Chapter 77A
Evelyn’s feet, startling her and causing her face to pale.
The tremor lasted for about ten seconds. The squirrels and birds inhabiting the previously quiet
bamboo forest suddenly became restless as their chatter and chirps filled the air.
Melanie did not need to turn around to know who was behind her. She was all too familiar with
Eugene’s scent.
She still felt shaken after everything had settled down. Reny was also quite frightened. She was
crouched on the ground, unable to get up.
“It’s okay,” a low, heavy voice sounded above Melanie’s head. Melanie was taken aback and was about
to lift her head when she heard Stella’s sharp voice.
“Evie, are you okay?!”
Evelyn’s face showed fear, but she shook her head nonetheless. “Madam Stella, I’m fine.”
