The Unfaithful Mr. Scott ( Melanie Smith )
Chapter 523

Chapter 523

The grievance in Viola’s eyes turned into resentment. Melanie’s name was the one name she could not even stand to hear! If it were not for her, Eugene would not be treating her so ruthlessly.

Yes!

Suddenly, Viola’s head snapped upward as she recalled the night when her affair with Mason was discovered. She had seen Melanie when she was rushing back to the company. Moreover, Melanie had mentioned her affair with Mason at the hospital.

As if discovering a revelation, Viola’s eyes grew noticeably colder. It must be Melanie. It had to be. She must have reported her to Eugene out of jealousy for her relationship with him. There was no other explanation.

Why else would Melanie be in Eugene’s office that day? Viola was almost certain of her suspicion.

In Viola’s mind, Melanie became the scapegoat for all her miseries. If not for Melanie, everything would have been fine. Resentment surged in her chest. She was not going to let Melanie off easily.

Although Eugene was hers, Melanie still meddled in their relationship. Viola stood still, her body trembling slightly as she was consumed by intense feelings of anger and hatred.

Unexpectedly, her train of thought was interrupted by the ringing of her phone. Glancing at the display that showed ‘Mom’, Viola answered the call with a numb expression.

Her mother’s reprimanding voice immediately filled the air. “How are you and Eugene? Have you apologized to him yet? You listen here, a son-in-law like Eugene is a rare find. If you don’t hold onto him, you’ll regret it!

“Your Aunt Trisha is coming over this weekend with your uncle and your younger cousin. Make sure you bring Eugene for dinner. Do you hear me?”

Viola took a deep breath. “I’m still at work.” After saying that, she hung up the phone and bit her lip until it became discolored. She quickly made another call.

‘Melanie, you’ll have to pay back double for everything you owe me!’ she thought to herself.

Back at the villa, Melanie frowned when she heard what was said. “Red Leaf Studio wants to meet tonight? Weren’t we scheduled for Wednesday? Why did they suddenly reschedule?”

“They said their boss has to go abroad for a study trip, so they have to pull the meeting forward,” Oliver replied, holding his phone with a hint of helplessness. The boss of Red Leaf Studio had collaborated with Burning Star before, so the meeting was agreed upon promptly. Melanie nodded. “No problem. I’ll go, then.” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Whitman is a nice person. Just follow the regular procedures.”

Oliver spoke in a carefree tone and then picked up his things, preparing to leave. “The boss

and the others are still waiting for me. I’ll head over first.” Since he had come back just to grab something, he left in a hurry.

As for Melanie, she went back to the study and gathered some information about Red Leaf Studio. When it was time to leave based on the agreed-upon time, Xander and the others had not returned yet.

Bruce Whitman of Red Leaf Studio, as described by Oliver, seemed just as amiable and honest in real life. However, what made Melanie uncomfortable was that, in addition to him, there were two or three people from other companies present-including Mason.

Bruce apologized with a slightly embarrassed expression. “My overseas course is starting  ́early, and I’m in a hurry to go abroad, so I had to bring everyone here together. I do apologize

for this.” His attitude toward this was so good that Melanie naturally could not say anything.

During a banquet, pleasantries were natural. Bruce was good at leading the atmosphere and made sure to include everyone. Moreover, he could skillfully adjust the mood of the room.

As the banquet was about to end, Melanie suddenly felt a gaze fixed on her. She frowned slightly, feeling somewhat displeased.
