THE UNFAITHFUL MR. SCOTT NOVEL (EUGENE AND MELANIE) - Season 3 Episode 85

Melanie’s mind was in a complete mess. She took a deep breath when she arrived at the villa’s door,

and she calmed her emotions down.

She bumped into Xander the moment she got out of her car.

Xander looked tired, and he was surprised to see Melanie.

He frowned when he saw her. He asked, “How’s the situation with your grandfather?”

Melanie replied, “I’ll figure something out.”

“I’m sorry. This is my fault.” Xander sighed softly.

It had been years since he returned to the Solomons, and it had been a long time since he was in

contact with any of them. This time, he had returned because of work.

He remembered that his aunt was acquainted with the Hendersons, and he called her to ask for help.

Xander did not expect Charlie Henderson to reject him immediately.

“I’m already grateful that you’re willing to help,” Melanie said. “But this is my problem. I’ll figure

something out on my own.”

Her grandfather’s problem had nothing to do with Xander. Melanie was already filled with gratitude for

him because of his offer to help. There was no reason to blame him for anything.

She pressed her lips and was suddenly reminded of what Reny had told her. Her expression turned

grim as she asked Xander, “Reny told me that the finance exhibition has been canceled?”

Xander looked upset at the mention of this.



He was suddenly called into a meeting while on his way to the hospital because of this.

All negotiations had been done for the exhibition, and all that was left was the signing of the contract.

Things were about to be set in stone when their potential business partner decided to use another

company.

Melanie looked at Xander, and her heart sank as well. “Did they tell you the reason?”

“It’s difficult to say. Things might be a little complicated.” Xander was troubled over this.

“The competitor wants to get involved with this project and has even gotten many proposals from

multiple businesses in Jepton. There’s sort of a standoff right now.”

The finance exhibition was part of a project to push economic development and socialization. They

would be more inclined to pick the company that had more support from other businesses.

However, this would mean that Xander’s company would not be in consideration to work on the

exhibition.

Reny and Yvonne were already in the living room of the villa when they walked in.

Everyone knew a little about Melanie’s family issues. Reny could tell that Melanie was not in a good

place. She poured Melanie a cup of water. “You should have some rest, Melanie.”

Oliver looked at Xander. “What exactly is going on?”

They had received news about this in the afternoon but could not ask about it as they were not able to

get a hold of Xander.

“Another company is eyeing this exhibition and has already gotten support from a few



businesses in Jepton. They’re now in the running to get this contract.” Xander repeated what he had

shared with Melanie in a calm manner.

Something felt wrong about this to Oliver. “We’ve already completed the proposal and submitted it. It’s

not a suitable time for them to be considering another company, isn’t it?” “That’s why they want to work

with both companies.”

This caused a huge commotion among them. “Work together? They’re clearly here to take this project

from us. Are they hoping for us to hand over the proposal so they can put their name on it?”

The exhibition proposal had the company’s stamp on it. Whose company came on top would affect

their credibility.

All of them wanted to take the main credit. Moreover, this proposal was put together by them and

Xander, but things were going to get complicated when the competitor was coming at them so

aggressively.

Moreover, this was a governmental project. If they could pull this off successfully, it would benefit them

greatly.

That was why they were not willing to let go of this opportunity so easily.

Xander was silent. Melanie listened to all of this and suddenly asked, “Is LeapCo one of the businesses

that are supporting them?”
