Chapter 677

Howard looked at Hugh incredulously before turning to Melanie, “Are you… Are you messing with

me?”

It was obvious he did not believe this farce and was even glancing back at the stern–faced Eugene. He had already told most people that his daughter was dating and soon marrying the boss of LeapCo.

Now, Melanie was telling him that the child was not Eugene’s but instead, this insignificant guy’s.

Howard asked Melanie incredulously again, “Mel, even if you don’t want to help me out, you wouldn’t play such a joke on me, would you? Is this really necessary? You’re ruining your reputation!”

Melanie looked at Howard’s shocked and reluctant expression. She chuckled and wrapped her arm through his. “There’s no reason for me to lie to you. Would I get the father of my child wrong?”

Her tone had relaxed slightly, and she glanced at Eugene with a serene expression. She added, “Mr. Scott has also been affected during this time. Because of your rumors, he has suffered a lot of grievances alongside me.”

Holding onto Hugh’s arm, it was as if Melanie had found her pillar of support. Her demeanor became more lively when she spoke.

Eugene was standing some distance away, and his stern expression showed no signs of relenting. His dark eyes were fixed firmly on Melanie’s hand that was wrapped around Hugh’s.

Hugh was dressed in a street hip–hop style while Melanie wore a light–colored business suit. She gave off a competent and neat appearance. Despite their completely different styles, they looked surprisingly good side by side.

Hugh was tall and well–built, not losing to Eugene in stature. Plus, with regular exercise, he naturally exuded a youthful vibe.

Standing beside Melanie, they looked like the lady and the tramp.

As Melanie and Hugh went upstairs, they could see Howard looking utterly devastated. It was as if Melanie had done something terribly wrong to him.

Once inside the empty elevator, Melanie let go of Hugh’s arm. The calm demeanor on her face shattered, and she pinched the bridge of her nose while saying, “I’m sorry.”
