Chapter 494

Melanie had been eating quietly until Reny called out to her.

She looked up. “What’s the matter?”

Reny smiled and said, “We were just discussing the participation quota for this year’s summit. We still think you should go, Melanie, I wanted to ask you about it that day, but I was too busy and didn’t have time.

“If you plan to stay in this industry, you need the necessary professional know–how. This is a good opportunity for you!”

Oliver said, “If you want to go, we’ll make it happen.”

Melanie said nothing. She still had Dylan and Viola to worry about.

They moved on from the topic. Once the meal was over, Melanie was about to go to the study to work overtime when Xander called out to her.
