Chapter 775
Just as she took a step, Howard came over from the side.
Anger was evident on his face, and seeing Melanie only made him even more
displeased. He launched into a barrage of questions without even waiting for her
response, “What are you doing here? Did you secretly follow me? And what did
you just say to Peyton?”
He did not ask for any clarification and just unleashed his frustration. His
expression was fierce and urgent, as if Melanie had stepped on his tail.
She listened until Howard finally stopped to catch his breath. She responded
indifferently, “So, you're afraid of what I might have told Peyton, huh?”
Melanie went straight to the point as she observed Howard's nervousness. The
anxiety in his tone was suspicious.
Her eyes shone as she pondered. She then asked, “Are you afraid I'll tell her
about Bianca or that you have another wife in Oskon City?”
The fact that Howard had a wife in Oskon City was not known to many. She only
knew about it herself
when Matthew told her the last time they met.
Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned Howard's wife in Oskon City, Howard's
expression
immediately changed. His features twisted with embarrassment and anger. He
raised his hand as if to strike Melanie. “Say that again!”
Melanie could not help but find Howard's fit of rage extremely ridiculous. It was
enough to prove how foolish she had been to have ever given him the benefit of
the doubt.
How good could a man who would abandon his wife and child for the sake of
playing around with other women be?
Whether it was Dylan back then or his current wife or Peyton, it was their
misfortune to encounter
Howard!
As Melanie anticipated the slap from Howard, she was surprised to see a hand
with distinct knuckles blocking it from the side.
Eugene had followed them without anyone noticing and positioned himself in
front of Melanie. He raised his hand to stop Howard from slapping Melanie. His
tone was heavy as he said, “Mr. Smith, when will you ever break your habit of
resorting to violence?”
Howard was taken aback by Eugene’s presence and instinctively asked, “Didn't
you just go inside?”
Ignoring him, Eugene turned to Melanie and asked, “Are you okay?”
Melanie gave Eugene a complicated look before turning her gaze to Howard.
She was truly fed up with his constant harassment. Despite her complete lack of
interest in him, he

always found a way to bother her. It was as if he was looking for trouble himself.
Yet, explaining things to someone like Howard was futile. His mind seemed to be
tuned to a completely different wavelength.
Feeling disheartened, Melanie could only turn away and leave.
Fortunately, Xander’s meeting had just ended, and he called her.
Melanie waited for the group at the door so that they could go back together.
Xander and the others came out quickly, and they looked normal. Melanie did not
bother asking if they had seen Eugene and Howard.

Still smiling lightly, she gently reminded him, “I don’t think Mr. and Mrs. Scott will
accept that, right?”
Eugene's steps paused slightly. Evelyn's craftiness was written all over her face.
He glanced at her with an abyss of coldness in his dark eyes. “You're thinking too
much.”
