Chapter 448
Oliver walked over and said in a low voice, “She won’t let us start the construction. She said. that the
problem with our safety standards hasn’t been resolved yet. We have to give her an explanation.”
Melanie raised her eyes to Viola, who happened to be looking back at her. There was a smile on Viola’s
lips as if she was pleased with herself.
Melanie thought for a moment and then looked at Terence, who was behind Viola. “You sought her
out?”
Terence’s face was ashen. “I just wanted to go to LeapCo and apologize to Mr. Scott. I was hoping he’d
forgive me, then I wouldn’t have to leave Burning Star.”
“Melanie, listen to yourself. It’s a fact that Eugene was injured here. You can’t just pretend that nothing
happened, right?”
Viola raised her voice at the end of her question. She lifted her chin and made a shoddy imitation of
Eugene’s superior attitude.

now, she would have to bow down to her.
A hint of mockery flashed across Viola’s eyes. She recalled what Mason had said the other day. In her
mind, Melanie was just pretending to be capable and aloof, but she was actually doing all sorts of nasty
things behind his back.
No wonder Eugene had dumped her.
Viola pursed her lips and said, “When you were at LeapCo, you used to say that anyone who can’t
even take responsibility for their mistakes has no right to work here.”
She curled her lips and looked at Melanie gloatingly. “Do you remember, Melanie?”
Melanie understood. Viola was not holding a grudge against Burning Star. She was targeting
her.
Her expression did not change. “We said we’d take responsibility for what happened to Mr. Scott. We’ll
agree to any reasonable compensation.”
“In that case, I think that canceling the cooperation is the most reasonable course of action. After all,
you can’t even guarantee our safety. What will you mess up next?”
Viola’s tone was full of disdain. Melanie and Xander looked at each other.
Xander said calmly, “I can terminate the contract, but I don’t think you can make the final decision on
this matter, can you? Maybe I should contact Mr. Scott now and we can discuss this problem together.”
Viola’s expression shifted slightly. Eugene had no idea that she was here. She had swapped her role
with Lee’s today completely on her own accord.
Xander knew what was going on just by looking at her expression. He smirked, and his cold. black
eyes were filled with contempt. His voice was very calm as he said, “Although Burning Star is just a
small studio, we won’t let an incompetent secretary singlehandedly terminate our contracts. I’m
amazed at LeapCo’s business practices.”

Viola had not expected Xander to interrupt. She had only wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate
Melanie.
Melanie watched Viola storm away and looked thoughtfully at Xander. “I didn’t know you had such a
sharp tongue.”
“I was just telling the truth,” Xander said casually.
After saying that, he looked at Terence, who was still standing there in a daze, and said. indifferently,
“Are you unhappy with my decision?”
Terence’s face was pale as a sheet. “No, I just thought it would be nice if I could apologize to Mr. Scott.
I didn’t expect to meet her instead.”
‘But you still told her everything,” Oliver pointed out coldly. “You knew that Viola had a grudge against
Melanie. Were you using this opportunity to get your revenge on us?”
As soon as Oliver finished speaking, something flickered in Melanie’s eyes.
Even Oliver knew that Viola was targeting her. Now that she had finally seized the opportunity, would
she let it go so easily?
Melanie looked up and said, “I’m going to go to LeapCo.”
