Chapter 434
Terence replied, “It depends on the route. The fastest would be a month, but if it gets delayed, it’ll be
difficult to tell.”
Melanie put her phone away and looked up. “Are you done, Mr. Scott?”
Eugene looked down at her. The look in his eyes was frosty.
Melanie stood up, and her sudden movement made her dizzy. She stumbled a step back before
managing to stabilize herself.
She was about to leave when she heard some rustling sounds at the side. Next, she heard the worker
doing the measurements say, “Please give way!”
He had accidentally knocked into the drywall at the side while he was measuring.
Before Melanie could react, someone pulled her away by the arm and she knocked into the person
before being dragged forward.

It happened so fast that it took a while for Melanie to realize what had just transpired.
There was a whiff of a cold and distant scent. She immediately realized who she had knocked into.
She looked up to see Eugene frowning with a dark look in his eyes.
Eugene was still grabbing onto her arm. He was the one who had pulled her away.
After a while, everyone working on the site found out what had just happened. Terence
anxiously stepped over the fallen drywall to get to them. “Are you alright?”
Before Melanie could say anything, Eugene’s cold voice spoke up, “This is the result of placing
something around casually.”
Terence turned pale. “It’s the first time something like this has happened.”
“You shouldn’t always depend on luck for things like this.”
Eugene’s voice was grim, and in addition to his intimidating mannerisms, Terence was unable to say
anything in reply.
The worker who had knocked into the drywall looked worried as well.
Melanie’s arm was hurting not because she had been hit by the drywall but because Eugene was
gripping too hard on her.
His hand was still on her.
She wanted to get Eugene to let go, but when Melanie looked down, she saw that his other hand was
bleeding.
When he pulled Melanie away earlier, he blocked the falling drywall and was cut by the sharp edges.
There was a sharp look in Melanie’s eyes. “We’re going to the hospital.”
Eugene had just stopped frowning when he heard this. He turned away from Terence to look at
Melanie.
Melanie took a deep breath and pointed to the back of his hand. “You’re an important man, Mr. Scott. If
anything happens to you, I won’t be able to compensate even if I sell myself.”

Eugene raised his bleeding hand and said sarcastically, “You’ve never disappointed me with your
surprises, Melanie,”
He turned to leave after that.
Melanie bit her lip and followed behind.
Before she left, she reminded Terence, “Inform Xander of what happened here. I’ll take Eugene Scott to
the hospital.”
Terence felt guilty. “I didn’t do this on purpose, Melanie. We used to do it like this too, but nothing ever
happened.”
Melanie nodded and said nothing.
It was better that Xander handled this.
The most important thing to do right now was to take care of Eugene.
Fortunately, there was a hospital nearby.
There were quite a few wounds on Eugene’s hand, and two of them were particularly deep. They
needed to be sewed.
Melanie looked grim as she stared at the bleeding wounds.
