Chapter 640
Howard initially did not pay any attention as he thought that penniless man was here to
suck up to Sam as well. However, his friend recognized Eugene and told him that he was
the CEO of Jepton’s LeapCo.
Howard had heard of LeapCo but did not really know the company well.
However, his friend mentioned the Scotts of Jepton.
Howard immediately realized who Eugene really was.
He dragged his friend over to confirm several times that he had not made a mistake, and
Howard immediately called Melanie after that.
Howard never expected Melanie to be able to do so well. She was actually in a relationship
with a Scott.
Howard was quite excited. However, he had to play it cool in front of his friend and
pretended that he was indifferent about this.
“What did your daughter say, Howard?” His friend walked out of the private room and
looked at him thoughtfully. “You aren’t lying to us about Eugene Scott being your son–in–
law, are you?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHoward’s face fell, and he looked a little unhappy. He slapped his friend’s hand away.
“There’s nothing to joke about this. He’s my son–in–law if I say he is. I wouldn’t say he’s
my son–in–law if he
isn’t.”
His friend felt a little embarrassed by this and rubbed his nose while saying, “Can I attend
your dinner tonight and meet Mr. Scott too?”
The moment he asked this, the door to the private room beside them opened. Eugene and
Sam walked
out together.
His friend gave Howard a push. “Your son–in–law is out.”
Even though he did not say this out loud, everyone heard it clearly.
Eugene turned to look at Howard with a cool expression.
Howard was put in a spot because of this. He coughed a few times, and his pride forced
him to speak up, “Urm… Eugene, I just spoke with Mel about having dinner together
tonight. It’s my way of welcoming both of you to Oskon City.”
Eugene looked at him and said nothing. The look in his eyes was cold and distant. He was
looking at Howard like he was a stranger.
Howard coughed awkwardly and lowered his voice to say, “I was wrong the other day. I
shouldn’t have criticized Mel that way in public. Please talk to her and tell her not to be
mad at me anymore. I was just doing that for her own good.”
Eugene was young and much taller than Howard was. The wound on his face had not yet

recovered, but his commanding presence was still quite prominent.
He kept silent, and Howard began to feel awkward. Even Howard’s friend looked
embarrassed. He poked Howard and asked in a whisper, “Were you boasting to me,
Howard? He isn’t acting like he’s your son–in–law at all.”
Howard hated it when others said he was boasting, and his face fell.
“Do you have an appointment with someone else, Mr. Scott? It’s alright even if we
postpone our
meeting.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSam took the opportunity to speak up. He patted Eugene’s arm understandingly.
“Businessmen like us are always busy traveling around for work. It’s nice to spend more
time with your family.”
Sam left with his assistant after that. Lee was next to Eugene, and the expression on his
face froze.
They had tried to set up a meeting with Sam several times, and it was not easy to meet up
with him today. Eugene had arranged for dinner tonight, but it was wrecked by this
interruption.
That person just had to be Melanie’s father.
Melanie prepared to return to the hotel after she was done with work. She continued to
make sure she was not alone as she walked out with Yvette.
She had just stepped out of the conference hall when she saw a car parked out front.
Eugene was leaning against the car. He looked like he was waiting for someone.
The sky was gloomy, and he was standing there with a strong presence that was difficult
to ignore.
Melanie paused in her steps but later walked right past him as if she did not see him.
