The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Melanie would never have known when Jackson was returning. Eugene was friendly enough to help her.

He said nothing and lowered his head, looking as if he was pondering something.

“Are you going back to Jepton?” he asked after a while.

Melanie said, “If the police call me, I'll go.”

She expressed her stance and indicated she would not let Viola off easily.

Eugene nodded and lifted his head, showing his eyes. He said emotionlessly, ” Don’t forget about Jackson’s arrival.” Viola never returned to the conference room, and Harvey's expression was gloomy. Eric said he saw Viola leaving alone. Yvette asked, “Is she packing her stuff to return to Jepton?”

Melanie did not know anything about it. She glanced at Eugene.

Eugene only mentioned work and nothing about Viola.

Melanie frowned. She could not control herself from looking at Eugene.

When she lifted her head again, her eyes met Eugene’s.

Melanie’s eyelashes fluttered, and she looked down, avoiding his gaze.

In the afternoon, someone spread gossip about Viola. She had been summoned back to Jepton by the police.

Yvette denied it was her. “I didn’t say anything. I’m not a gossipy person. They might have heard this from somewhere else.” Melanie did not mind. She and Viola were enemies, and she did not care about Viola’s rumors.

With Viola’s matter disturbing Harvey, he was not in the mood to mock Melanie. It made things easy for her.

The conference ended early that day, and Melanie wanted to call Hugh after what happened yesterday. However, Hugh was already waiting outside.

The sky had been gloomy for days, and it was raining today.

Hugh stood there with an umbrella. He was tall, and he still looked young and fit even in a winter coat. However, there was a gloomy expression on his face...

Chapter 707 Melanie’s forehead was creased. Before she could walk over, Hugh approached her. The black umbrella was tilted to her side, and Hugh put on a straight face as he said, “I came early to pick you up.”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Melanie could see that he had been threatened. After a moment of silence, she said, “You didn’t have to come.”

“Yvonne said she'd tell you not to pay me if | didn’t come.”

Melanie wanted to say she would definitely pay him and Yvonne did not call the shots on that. However, knowing Yvonne's personality, Melanie chose not to say that.

She asked, “Do you need money?”

Hugh was frank. “Yes.”

“How much do you need?”

“A few million.*.

Melanie was taken aback and did not know what to say. She stepped forward and said, “Let's head back.”

Before they could leave, a black Bentley pulled over before her. Lee rolled down the window. “Melanie, get into the car. It’s pouring out there.”

Before Melanie could answer, Hugh retorted, “This is the first time I’ve seen a secretary using his boss’ car to pick up people. Does your boss know you're using his car as a taxi?”
