“Don’t get too involved with Matthew,” Eugene said suddenly, interrupting her thoughts.

Melanie turned to look at him. The window of the taxi was transparent, and the gorgeous neon lights on

the road outside shone on Eugene’s face, making it impossible for her to see his expression.

Eugene had been drinking with Bernard tonight. He reeked of alcohol again.

Melanie looked at his side profile and asked, “Why shouldn’t I get involved with him?”

“It’s for your own good.” Eugene’s voice was low and hoarse.

Melanie remembered how Eugene had deliberately interrupted Bernard in the room, and how he had

gotten in between her and Matthew.

She lowered her gaze and paused for a moment before asking him, “Did you know about my

relationship with Matthew long ago? Is that why you deliberately stopped me?”

Eugene did not answer immediately. He raised his eyelids lazily, just enough to see Melanie’s profile in

the rearview mirror.

He scoffed. “Do you think everyone else is as blind as you are?”

He had a point. Matthew and Melanie had inherited their father’s eyes, and Howard was known for his

good looks as well as his talents when he was younger.

Although Melanie resembled her mother more, Howard’s features were still visible on her face.

She pinched her forehead and felt a headache coming on.

“Matthew Smith is not the sweet little brother you think he is.” After a moment of silence, Eugene spoke

up evenly. He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but his words were clear.

“How can a young man from a nondescript family rise through the ranks so quickly? Melanie, you’re

naïve, but Matthew isn’t stupid.’

Eugene’s words shocked Melanie. She had done her research into the Qaisas’ situation when she first

turned her attention to Oskon City. Even so, Matthew had to be extremely formidable for Eugene to be

so wary of him.

Her mind was a mess. After a moment, she asked Eugene in a low voice, “So why are you stopping

me?

Eugene’s dark eyes flashed with an unreadable emotion. His fingertips moved imperceptibly on his lap.

After a while, his Adam’s apple bobbed as he said, “I just don’t want anything to delay LeapCo’s

cooperation with the Qaisas.”

Redwaves had suddenly changed the rules. When Melanie returned to the hotel, she immediately

called Xander. The change had not been made public yet. It had just been leaked to some people in

advance.

Xander was not surprised. “Redwaves does this every year. At least they gave us some time to revise

things this year.”

“It won’t affect your work, will it?” Melanie asked.

“It’s fine. There’s still time.”

After they settled their work matters, Xander remembered something and asked Melanie, “Yvonne said

she asked her friend to meet you in Oskon City?”

“Yeah.”

“She said he was supposed to pretend to be your boyfriend…”

Melanie paused. For some reason, she felt a little embarrassed. “It was all Yvonne’s idea.”

“Yes, that sounds like something she would do.”

Melanie heaved a sigh of relief and quickly changed the topic. “LeapCo is also participating in the

bidding event. Eugene said he wants to work with Burning Star again-”

As Fuller had said, it would save both LeapCo and Burning Star a lot of trouble if they collaborated

again. Melanie had expected Xander to agree straight away.

Unexpectedly, he paused for a moment and asked an unrelated question. “Did he try to trip you up

again?”

Melanie replied, “No.”

“LeapCo is one of the investors at the summit, and now Eugene is in Oskon City too.” Xander smiled

bitterly. “Mel, promise me one thing. Stay away from him, okay?”
