The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 718

Melanie spoke slowly, recounting what Stephen had told her the night before as
well as the information she had researched herself.

Someone of Luther's status could not be hired solely with money, so there had to
be someone helping Viola.

“Do you remember that settlement agreement? 800 grand. Who do you think it
could be?” Melanie asked.

It could not be Harvey. Just by observing his recent change in attitude toward
Viola, it was clear that it was not him. If it was someone else...

Everything that happened before—the car accident, the tracking, and the
inexplicable problems in the conference hall...

Many thoughts were swirling in Melanie's mind. To put it simply, Burning Star
Studio and LeapCo were in a cooperative relationship now. She was only telling
Eugene all of this as a notification. After all, nobody knew if Eugene might do
something because of Viola again.

Eugene looked at her faintly. “What do you mean?”

“I just wish to remind you that LeapCo and Burning Star Studio are now in this
together. I hope you'll consider Burning Star Studio's position before making any
decisions.”

With that said, she opened the door and made to leave.

Eugene waited in the underground parking lot for a while before leaving himself.
When he returned to the hotel, Henry stared at him. “Why didn’t you go back to
Jepton with Mel? I was hinting at you this entire time.”

“I still have unfinished business,” Eugene replied casually.

“By the time you're done, it'll be too late. Are you aware that that secretary of
yours is ring a lawyer to sue Mel? I think this mess is all your doing. You should
be the one to solve it.”

Henry was full of anger, but Eugene calmly interrupted him, saying, “My father
called me. The Hels have nearly half of LeapCo’s shares now.” With that, he
turned and left.

Henry sat there, stunned. He could not help but let out a sigh. “This is really a
well-deserved retribution!”

When Melanie and Hugh arrived in Jepton, it was lunchtime. Xander came to
pick them up, accompanied by Yvonne and Stephen.

Yvonne ran over to Melanie as soon as she saw her, hugging her tightly. “You
took so long! I really missed you.”

She held onto Melanie, not letting go. She then glanced disdainfully at Hugh, who
was limping beside them. “Can’t you handle yourself? I asked you to take care of
Melanie, but instead, she had to take

care of you.”

Hugh and Yvonne always bickered whenever they met, leaving Melanie stuck in
the middle. She felt a headache coming on.

Xander rescued her and led her away. “Are you tired? Get in the car first. We'll
discuss the details on the way.”

Melanie nodded. She only came back for this matter, so the sooner she was
briefed, the better.

Xander knew her well and specifically asked Stephen to come today.

Knowing that they were going to discuss serious matters, Yvonne led Hugh away
first. After Melanie got into the car, she asked Stephen, “Are there any other
changes?”

“Luther will arrive in Jepton tonight. They seem to want a quick resolution.”
Stephen hesitated. “Do you know who's helping Viola? I asked a friend in Oskon
City, and he said Luther originally had

another case but dropped it to focus on Viola's.”

Melanie still maintained her speculation that Viola could not possibly have the
means of hiring Luther. She voiced her thoughts, and Stephen looked at her
oddly. “Could it be Eugene?”

“It's not him,” Melanie refuted without much thought.

This situation happened so suddenly. Although Melanie had heard some details
way, she still needed to see Dylan herself.

Dylan looked even more haggard than before, with graying hair and more
wrinkles on her face. When Melanie approached her, Dylan had to narrow her
eyes for a bit before recognizing her. As soon as she did, however, tears started
rolling down her cheeks incessantly.

Her voice choked up as she called out, “Mel, Mel...”

Dylan kept repeating Melanie's name. Though Melanie had initially wanted to ask
her something, seeing Dylan in such a state made her realize that she would not
be calming down anytime soon. Thus, Melanie got up and left.
