THE UNFAITHFUL MR. SCOTT NOVEL (EUGENE AND MELANIE) - Season 5 Episode 13

Melanie recalled all the details she missed and realized Viola might have been in contact with Dylan more than she thought. Maybe Albert’s death had something to do with her…

Melanie stopped assuming as she had no proof. She did not even have the right to suspect Viola.

However, she could not stop herself from glancing at Viola again.

Viola’s expression was calm. She lifted her chin slightly. “Why are you looking at me, Melanie? Do you have something you want to say?”

Melanie retracted her gaze. “No, | was just thinking about something.”

She hid her thoughts well, and others did not notice anything strange.

Eugene’s cold gaze fell on her. The dim yellow light on him made his cold gaze look gentler than usual.

However, the illusion shattered when he said, “Of course, you can ponder about something else since you’re not implicated.” He was mocking her again, which irritated Melanie.

Her eyelashes fluttered as she said, “I can do anything you want me to cooperate with.

Eugene scoffed as he looked at her and said thoughtfully, “Don’t make it sound like you’re helping me out of kindness, Melanie. You owe me this.

“| don’t care if you’ll admit this, but George involved me because of you. You owe me this. Shouldn’t you be doing all that you can?”

His words were harsh. Melanie wanted to retort but did not know what to say.

To be precise, she could not retort.

Eugene was right. George had nothing to do with him. George would not have looked for Eugene if it were not for her. She owed him, and she admitted that!

Melanie clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh.

It was painful.

Theodore looked at Eugene and Melanie. Frowning, he said, “Eugene, why are you saying this? Don’t you know what kind of person George is? Why are you threatening this lady?”

Then, he quipped, “You say she owes you. Are you trying to brainwash her?”

Eugene glanced at him. “It isn’t you in trouble now. Of course, you think it’s fine.”

Theodore rubbed his nose and said nothing.

He had been in Hearth City and knew about the matter. He knew Eugene was not the only one in trouble. Even part of LeapCo was implicated because of this.

Those clients that they had cooperated with recently canceled their contracts.

Two days ago, some people barged into LeapCo. That was why Eugene was in a hurry to settle this matter.

However…

He glanced at Melanie standing at the side. Being used to brushing this off, he knew he could not do much and sighed deep down.

This was Eugene and Melanie’s matter. He chose to stay away from it.

Melanie had only taken her breakfast that day and had not eaten anything after landing. She was ill not long ago and still looked pale.

Melanie looked at Eugene stubbornly as she stood upright.

“Since this has happened, it’ll be pointless to apologize. However, I’ll pay for whatever | owe you, whether it’s money or getting you out of the trouble this has brought you.”

Her voice was soft but firm. “If you’re worried, | can write you an agreement that I’ll settle this matter.”
