The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

1/2

However, he was bound to be disappointed. Melanie simply looked at him expressionlessly.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Melanie had learned her lesson. She must never give Howard even an inch, or he would ask for a mile.

As Howard stormed away, the coldness on her face slowly turned to frustration.

“Why didn’t Hugh pick you up?” Eugene’s nonchalant voice rang in her ears as she was lost in thought.

She raised her eyes coolly and was about to speak when she heard Hugh’s voice coming from the distance. “Melanie.”

Melanie looked in the direction of the voice and saw Hugh standing by the roadside in his trench coat. She then looked up at Eugene and imitated his casual tone. “He’s here now, isn’t he?”

Eugene’s eyes narrowed slightly, roiling with emotion. He looked at Melanie and chuckled softly. “He came at the right time as soon as Howard left.”

The sarcasm in his voice was clear, but Melanie did not care. She looked at Hugh, who was already approaching her, and lowered her gaze.

Hugh’s gaze paused for a moment between Eugene and Melanie, who were standing very close closing. Without making a fuss, he said, “There was a bit of a traffic jam on the way here. | was late, but | brought you this.”

As he spoke, he took out a cup of milk tea from the pocket of his windbreaker and handed it to Melanie. The milk tea was still warm. Melanie held the cup and smiled, thanking softly.

Eugene looked at the drink in Melanie’s hand. His long eyelashes drooped, hiding the dark and indiscernible emotions within his gaze. The corners of his lips twitched imperceptibly.

Melanie and Hugh left without a word. Eugene stood where he was for a while before slowly withdrawing his gaze from Melanie’s back and leaving slowly.

What they did not know was that as they left, a pair of eyes were looking in their direction from a Rolls -Royce parked in the corner.

Viola’s fingers were digging deep into her palms. She just knew that Eugene was still attached to that bitch Melanie.

There was a soft laugh from the front seat, and a young man’s voice said with a hint of weariness, You like Eugene Scott?” Viola came back to her senses and looked at the rearview mirror. From here, she could only see the young man’s smooth chin. He asked, “So can you fulfill my request?”

Viola thought of their earlier conversation, her heart in turmoil. “What if | can’t do it?” she asked tentatively.

The young man did not answer her. After a while, he said, “Then you'll go to jail,”

Viola went pale. She knew this man was threatening her, but he was also telling the truth,

She knew Melanie already had evidence against her. Once Melanie charged her, she would have to pay for her crimes. In the end, though, this person helped her take care of everything.

He also promised her that he would protect her forever as long as she gave him LeapCo’s top-secret data.

Viola knew he was using her, but she had no choice.

She did not want to be under Melanie’s thumb forever, and she wanted to prove to Eugene that she could do what Melanie could not.

She had to show him that she could do even better than Melanie ever could! She wanted to open Eugene’s eyes and make him see who was truly worthy of standing by his side.

Viola clenched her fists and tried to calm herself down. “I can promise you that, but don’t forget that you promised me that you would work with LeapCo afterward.”

Matthew looked outside with his cold and tired eyes. He was playing with a lighter in his hand.

Upon hearing Viola’s words, his attitude remained the same, He said without much emotion, “Of course, we will cooperate with LeapCo,”
