Chapter 673

Melanie did not stay outside for long. Eugene mentioned that Matthew was a highly alert individual and that they could barely find any information about him.

However, even with just this bit they managed to glean, Melanie was able to speculate some things- such as the low–key relationship between Matthew and Howard. She did not reveal any of her thoughts to the man, though. She figured he did not need any reminders from her.

When Melanie made her way back to the meeting room, she saw Viola at the door and hesitated slightly. She could not be wearing a pleasant expression on her face when facing Viola.
