“How about it, Mr. Scott? If you’re interested, why don’t you try out the farm experience too? Last time I
brought my wife and children over, and I can confirm the fruits here are delicious.” Eugene retracted his
gaze and looked at Wade calmly. “Have you considered what I just said, Mr. Zayner?”
Wade had deliberately tried to change the topic, so he froze up for a second. After a while, he said with
a troubled expression, “Mr. Scott, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I can’t. “It’s true that we at
Farway have always worked with Widetower before this, but that’s only because the family owed me a
favor.
“Who am I to dictate what they do?”
Eugene’s expression did not change at all as he listened to Wade’s excuses. Once Wade was done, he
said, “I was just asking for an introduction, not a guarantee of a deal. Or do you think LeapCo’s benefits
aren’t good enough for you?”
Wade hesitated awkwardly for a moment and scratched his chin. “You’re really giving me a hard time,

Eugene was indifferent. His fingertips moved slightly, and Lee spoke up for him, reminding Wade
politely, “Mr. Zayner, I heard that you like to fish. Coincidentally, the environment here is quite nice. Do
you think-”
The weather flipped like a coin in the summer. Just a moment ago, the sun was blazing in the sky, but
now, dark clothes were already gathering.
Melanie had been out in the sun for some time. She glanced at the sky then told Reny she wanted to
head back to the lounge.
Xander had walked away to take a phone call a while ago and had yet to return.
The orchard was not that far away from the lounge, but there were many paths and plants throughout
Osmanthus Park to accentuate the pastoral atmosphere.
Melanie had to slowly make her way, following the signs.
However, when she walked into a cane forest, she saw an unexpected figure approaching her. It was
Quentin.
Melanie subconsciously tried to avoid him, but Quentin deliberately blocked her way.
This place was quiet and secluded, with the fishing pool up ahead. No one would go fishing on such a
hot day.
Quentin gave Melanie a mirthless smile. “Why are you alone, Melanie?”
He was obviously up to no good. Melanie took a few wary steps back. “What do you want?”
“Heh.” A vicious light flashed in Quentin’s eyes behind his glasses. He stared at Melanie’s face and
said in a sinister tone, “You know how to make an audio recording, right?”
Melanie looked at him defensively. She could hear the resentment in Quentin’s voice. All she could do
was check to see if anyone was nearby while she tried to fend him off. “You want me

“Melanie, tell me, where do you get that pride of yours from? You always act like you’re looking down
on me, when you should be honored that I like you.”
He inched closer to Melanie. He had probably just smoked, and the smell of smoke mixed with his body
odor was very pungent.
It was too quiet here. Quentin might be thin and weak, but he was still a man. Melanie did not think she
had much of a chance of winning a physical fight against him.
She forced her tone to stay calm. “Mr. Emerson, we’re still business competitors right now. We
shouldn’t talk too much in private.”
“Why not? I think it’s the opposite
–
Quentin took a few steps closer to Melanie, his smile sinister and suggestive. “Melanie, you’ve been
with Eugene and Xander, so why won’t you join me next? Besides, Xander won’t trust you anymore
after he sees you with me.
“I’m a man too. I know how men think. Even if you deny it, I’ll just say we’re having an affair. Do you
think they’ll believe me?”
Quentin reached out to grab Melanie, who tensed up. She was waiting for the perfect moment to evade
him when she heard a low, deep voice behind her.
“What are you two doing?”
