The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Chapter 675 1/2

Howard looked somewhat eager, He quickly strode over and asked repeatedly, “I've sent you so many messages. Why haven't you replied to any of them?”

Melanie looked at him coldly. “Who told you to come here?” Howard had come alone. He frowned but then forcibly suppressed his displeasure.

Melanie sensed Howard had come because he had something to discuss with her. Just when she thought that, Howard cleared his throat and spoke in a serious tone. He even took out a bank card from his wallet, handing it to Melanie,

“Atel, | came here this time to sincerely apologize to you and also to explain myself. | truly had my reasons for not returning to Jepton earlier,

“There’s 200,000 dollars in this card, | saved it to be your dowry. | know you're resentful toward me, but this is a sincere gesture of mine. | hope you'll accept it.”

Howard spoke with genuine emotion. He was looking at Melanie, his eyes even brimming with tears. Melanie looked at the bank card he had shoved into her hand, her expression barely changing. 200,000 dollars saved as her dowry?

Ha.

Melanie glanced at the watch on Howard's wrist. It was a Patek Philippe worth 520,000 dollars.

She held the card without much interest and replied, “I doubt any of your friends are here, so there’s no need for this kind of performance, right?”

Howard paused, his sad expression frozen on his face. He looked a little ridiculous.

He opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to play the family card. However, Melanie cut him off and said, “If there’s nothing else, please don’t disturb me.

Howard had once been her father whom she respected, but that did not mean Melanie should tolerate him without limits. He lost all right to call himself her father when she caught him with Bianca and when he casually brought her to meet Tobias.

Seeing Howard remain silent, Melanie could not be bothered to deal with him and turned around to leave.

“Melanie!” Howard grabbed her arm, his patience wearing thin as he reprimanded, “I’m your father!. How can you speak to me with such an attitude?”

Ignoring the anger in his eyes, Melanie forcefully shook off his hand. Her expression was devoid of emotion as she asked, “What is it?”

Howard’s expression immediately turned irritated, but he ignored her attitude and continued, “Talk Chapter 675 to Eugene and tell him not to target my company anymore. | won't pursue the previous sabotaged deals.”

Melanie did not know that Eugene had been targeting Howard’s company, but thinking about it now, she could understand. It was Howard’s own fault. Eugene was not someone who took losses lightly.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

The rumors Howard spread had caused Eugene to lose important clients, so it was only natural for Eugene to retaliate. Melanie did not even think about his request and turned to leave, “You've got the wrong person. You should go to Eugene directly,”

“Melanie, how can you do this? I’m your father!” Howard chased after her again, blocking her path and scolding her with a stern expression.

“What kind of daughter are you to say those words? Everyone knows about your relationship with Eugene. As long as you speak up, he'll definitely agree, Besides, you're carrying his child now, which practically makes you his wife-”

Melanie suddenly turned around mid-sentence and threw the bank card back at him, Staring at him, she said, “I can’t afford your dowry,”

At the same time, another figure happened to enter the hotel lobby, Eugene had just finished work and returned. His imposing presence, coupled with his cold, piercing gaze, landed on Melanie and Howard.

When Howard saw Eugene, he quickly added the unfinished part of his sentence, “And me, his father- in-law.”

Melanie found Howard utterly unreasonable. Annoyed, she said, “Setting aside whatever it is between you and me, one thing | feel is necessary to emphasize again is that the child is not Eugene’s. | am not his wife and thus, you’re not his father-in-law. Do you understand now?”
