Chapter 352
Melanie rejected, “It’s alright, I can wait here and leave when the road is clear.
Yvonne wanted to persuade her further, but someone knocked Melanie’s window. She lifted her head
and looked at the person outside, only to see Stephen smiling at them. “You ladies came too?”
Stephen and Yvonne knew each other. “Why are you here?”
“I just arrived.” Stephen looked at Melanie. “I saw your car and thought I was mistaken.”
Melanie looked at Yvonne. “I drove her here.”
“When I came just now, there were many cars outside. You might not be able to leave now.‘ Stephen
pondered before continuing, “You can sit in a corner and rest while waiting. You don’t have to greet
them.”
Melanie wanted to reject, but she saw Viola dressed elegantly as she followed behind Eugene.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEugene wore a suit, and it was an expensive black suit. It made his perfect figure stand out.
Under the neon lights, his elegance and charm seemed to make him glow. He looked like a noble
prince.
He seemed to have noticed Melanie and the others.
Subconsciously, Melanie froze, feeling as if Eugene was looking straight at her.
Viola, who had been talking to Eugene, noticed his gaze and looked over. She saw Melanie. Melanie
looked away. Yvonne clicked her tongue and exclaimed, “Why are you looking away? You did nothing
wrong. Don’t be such a coward! Make them feel sorry for what they’ve done to you!”
Stephen smiled gently as he looked at Melanie meaningfully. “Mel, you can be my date today.” With
both their words, coupled with Eugene’s and Viola’s gazes, Melanie was convinced and stopped
rejecting.
Melanie held Stephen’s arm and walked over. She noticed a glimpse of displeasure in Viola’s
eyes.
However, putting on an act was what Viola did best. She looked at Melanie in a puzzle and said,
“Melanie, I’m happy to have you at my party, but I thought your partner would be Mr. Solomon. I didn’t
expect you to come with Mr. York.”
She smiled brightly and said, “It seems I misunderstood.”
Melanie was holding Stephen’s arm. She knew what Viola meant by that. Calmly, she said, ” Please
don’t misunderstand. I just happened to pass by.”
Viola’s smile froze. She lifted her head and looked at Eugene. Parting her lips, she wanted to say
something. However, Yvonne was faster than her. “Miss Shaw, right? Happy birthday. Mel is here
because she happened to drive me here. I hope you don’t mind.”
“Of course, I wouldn’t.” Viola swallowed the words she was about to say and felt awkward.
“Since you happened to pass by, why aren’t you leaving yet?” Eugene had an indifferent look as he

He gazed at Melanie, acting all cold and domineering. He mocked her, “Well, you’re quite capable of
getting someone to bring you into this party.
“Is it because you know Xander can’t give you what you want that you’ve changed your target?”
He was being sarcastic. Melanie was annoyed, but she could not do anything about it.
Viola stood up for her, pretending to be nice. She looked at Eugene as she said, “Eugene, don’t say
such things. Melanie isn’t married, and it doesn’t matter who she dates.”
She had a smug look on her face as she continued, “Moreover, Melanie is so beautiful. I’m sure many
men would woo her. I heard Mr. Emerson say he has a crush on Melanie too.
“Melanie, why don’t I introduce you to my senior someday? He’s the boss of a company. He’s wealthy
and young. It just so happens that he recently divorced his wife.”
