Chapter 487 

Melanie looked down for a while before picking up the call. 

Henry’s concerned voice was heard immediately. “Are you still outside, Mel?” 

Melanie looked at the pouring rain. She could tell that Henry was very concerned for her. She was silent before saying, “Yes, I’m outside.” 

Where are you? I’ll get Eugene to pick you up. You shouldn’t be driving in this weather. It’s not safe.” 

Henry said almost immediately after Melanie replied. 

Melanie pressed her lips together. She did not want Henry to know that she was with Eugene. 

She swept a glance at him from the corner of her eye and saw Eugene staring at her emotionlessly. However, there was a cold taunting look in his eye. 

Melanie was taken aback. She immediately wanted to tell Henry that she did not need Eugene to pick her up when she suddenly heard Henry cough violently through the phone. 

It sounded like Landon was trying to soothe him and feed him his medicine. 

Melanie frowned immediately. “Are you alright?” 

Henry coughed in a low voice, sounding quite weak. “I’m fine. The rain is too heavy, Mel. You should take care of yourself. Don’t reject that rascal’s ride because you’re mad at him.” 

It sounded like Henry had trouble even speaking. Melanie wanted to say something, but Landon had hung up hurriedly. 

She looked up and met Eugene’s impatient eyes. 

He said in a low voice, “Aren’t you tired of pretending to be docile and obedient in front of the

old man, 

There was a cold look in his dark eyes. “Must you be this way? Are you only happy when everyone starts begging you?” 

Melanie was initially hesitant about her decision when Henry called her, but she immediately came to a decision. Her expression remained stoic as she looked at Eugene. 

“Were you even begging me for anything? You’ve always enjoyed being full of yourself and thinking you’re the one who’s charitable.” 

She looked at him. Her beautiful eyes looked gentle under the warm tone of the restaurant’s lighting. 

Melanie smiled sarcastically. This is really pointless.” 

She did not need anyone to beg her, and she felt she had never put on any act in front of Eugene

Why should she tolerate his unfounded accusations over and over again? 

She was here for work, and she even arrived in proper business attire. Her hair fell freely behind her back

Carla looked at Melanie’s skinny frame and glanced at Eugene. Just listen to yourself. You’re really your mother’s son.‘ 

Melanie did not actually plan to leave so early. She had just gotten to the lobby at the door when she heard the shocking sound of how heavy the rain was. It sounded like someone was pouring water down from the sky. 

With the weather like this, it would be difficult for Melanie to get to the hotel.

This was especially true when there were no cars on the road. 

It looked like the rain was not about to stop anytime soon. 

Melanie took out her phone and frowned as she looked outside. 

When Xander called her, someone had just walked in through the door. He came in wet from rain, and some of the water splashed on Melanie’s arm. 

It felt cold. 

Xander’s low, magnetic voice was heard against a background of thunder rumbling. “Are you on the way home now?” 

“I’m still at the mall.” 

Xander paused before saying, “The rain is too heavy right now. It won’t be safe for you on the road. I’m coming to pick you up.” 

Melanie rejected his offer. You don’t need to do that. I’ll wait until the rain dies down a little. If it continues raining, I’ll just book myself a hotel room nearby for the night.” 

Xander wanted to say something when a loud thunder was heard.
