Chapter 408
She kept torturing herself! She stayed in the washroom for some time to keep her breathing under control before
washing her face and exiting the washroom. Just when she stepped outside, she heard a familiar female voice in
the partitioned area—it was a voice with a hint of disdain and a sense of condescending superiority.
The bar had a partition at the VIP area. In actual fact, the partition was only made of a hollow carved wood panel,
providing a little bit more privacy than the open area.
“Tsk, am I not better than her? With my beauty, how difficult is it to get a man? It doesn’t matter if it’s Nathan or
Ben. Neither one of them will disobey whenever I gesture at them to come with my finger. It’s not difficult for me at
all, okay?”
Right after the woman said those words, Kate finally recognized that voice. Isn’t this Melanie Hopper? What a
shameless person. She really has a swollen head. Kate silently hid at the corner of the compartment while glancing

The woman took a sip of the alcohol as she asked with a smile, “I heard that Samantha’s target is Eugene.”
Melanie replied, “Eugene? She must be lying. Do you think that Eugene is a person whom anyone can easily
approach? Nathan is Eugene’s nephew, so I’ve met Eugene more than 10 times, but only managed to say a few
words with him each time. Therefore, how would Samantha be able to pull that off? By using her face that looks
fake due to plastic surgery?”
The woman uttered, “That’s what I thought too. Her face looks like she went under the knife, seeing that it looks
really unnatural. She really doesn’t have any self-awareness.”
Melanie had a longing expression. “If it wasn’t because I had Nathan at that time, I would have gone after Eugene. I
think there would have at least been some hope for me at that time since I was able to be in contact with him, but
Samantha is simply fantasizing. Everyone wants to have that kind of man, but the most important thing is that one
must have the capability to do so.”
“She was merely bragging, but you actually took her words seriously. I just feel sorry for you. Didn’t you say that
Nathan treated you very well, but why did you guys suddenly break up?
Melanie had a look of resignation on her face. “Sigh, I had enough of him, so we broke up. He’s a cheapskate, but it
isn’t because he's poor, but rather a habit of being thrifty. I wonder whether he has such a habit because he was
poor in the past. I actually don’t mind him being thrifty since I’m not a materialistic woman. I’m willing to tolerate
him as long as he treats me well! However, he is impotent—sometimes he is unable to get his member up, and
even if he could, it would be less than 3 minutes in bed. Tell me, how am I supposed to be together with him if this is
how he is? You haven’t seen how hard he cried on the day we broke up; he almost kneeled down to salvage our
relationship. I almost relented, but I did not after thinking about it. Tell me, what’s the use of having a man if he
can’t even satisfy his woman? Even if we force ourselves to be together, we will eventually break up, so it will be
better to call it quits now!”
The woman was shocked. “It can’t be! Is Nathan this kind of person? He can’t get it up? And he lasts for less than

Melanie firmly replied, “Why would I lie to you? The most trivial saying in this world is ‘it’s wicked to have a romantic
relationship with someone without having the intention to get married’. Take me as an example—what would have
happened to me if I really married Nathan? Breaking up would have already been a struggle, let alone having a
divorce. Therefore, we shouldn’t skip this step when we are in a relationship. We need to give the whole package a
try to prevent trouble in the future. It’s better this way—we can continue to be together if we are suitable for each
other, but we can break up if we aren’t. Both of us have nothing much to lose.”
The woman resignedly shook her head. “But, that’s a pity. I think that he is quite good-looking!”
Melanie had a look of regret. “What’s the use of being handsome if a man has this problem? Which woman would
want to be with him? That’s equivalent to being ruined in this lifetime. But, there is something that you don’t know—
when I was dating Nathan, there was a woman who shamelessly pestered Nathan. I heard that she was secretly in
love with him for about seven or eight years. She is quite good-looking, though not as beautiful as me, but she kept
treating me as her love rival. I was really puzzled as to why Nathan would fall in love with me when we knew each
other for seven or eight days when they had known each other for seven or eight years. I was really overwhelmed.
In the end, Nathan took me in his arms and clearly told me that the person he loved was me, which caused her to
cry her eyes out—”
