The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Melanie had not been to the hospital in the past few days. Henry had called a few times, but he always brought up the topic of Meredith.

Melanie’s excuse was always that Meredith was sleeping. Even though she knew Henry meant well, he was still a part of the Scott family.

Nowadays, she was on high alert when it was about them.

After hearing the same excuse several times, Henry could hardly overlook her guardedness. He had to

say, “Mel, I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry. I’m not an unreasonable person.

“Since you said you have nothing to do with Eugene, I won’t insist. It’s Eugene’s loss. This is not your

fault.

“Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no one will bully you and Merry.”

Henry’s sincerity was evident when he declared his stance and reassured Melanie.

After considering it, she sincerely said, “Thank you.”

Henry smiled bitterly, exchanged pleasantries, and then hung up.

Landon, standing nearby, noticed the sadness on Henry’s face. He comforted Henry, I’m sure they’ll be fine.”

“Don’t worry.

Henry waved his hand, his tone carrying sadness. “Mel is stubborn. Eugene, that brat, has a bad personality. Before, Mel was devoted to him, but now, she looks down on him. That’s not fine.”

Landon said, “Don’t be so pessimistic.”

“My great–granddaughter is about to call someone else ‘Great–grandpa‘. Am I supposed to smile

about it?”

Melanie did not know Henry was still concerned about having Meredith call him ‘Great–grandpa‘. She was on her way to the airport to pick up Xander.

Xander’s flight to Jepton arrived in the afternoon. They had not seen each other for three months

since Xander went abroad.

Meredith liked Xander and wanted to hug him when she saw him. Xander felt helpless, saying, “My clothes are dirty.”

They went straight back to the villa. Xander had been on the plane for over ten hours and looked exhausted. Melanie did not disturb him. She took Meredith with her and left.

On the way, she received a call from Yvonne, saying that Timothy’s sentence was to stay in prison for

three months.

That result surprised Melanie. Considering the Harmon family behind him, she thought it would be at least half a month. They should have persisted in protecting Timothy.

“I heard Eugene insisted on not backing down, causing the cooperation between LeapCo and the Harmon family to collapse. Mr. Scott was quite angry.”

Yvonne sighed. “I didn’t expect Eugene to be quite resolute.”

Eugene’s actions shocked people in the circle because he had essentially cut off his own path.

Those wealthy people might appear glamorous, but each one was selfish.

As long as it did not hurt them hard enough, taking advantage of the situation and gaining more benefits was their best choice. No one would act like Eugene, willing to let go of their future to make Timothy pay a trivial price.

Moreover, the Harmon family offered a lot this time.

Even Yvonne herself, after weighing the pros and cons, did not feel she could be as decisive as Eugene.

However, for Melanie, that was a great advantage. At least she did not have to worry about Timothy suddenly appearing in a short while.

By the time Timothy was released, she would already be out of the country.

“I think you’re out of your mind.” Simon sat on the couch playing games. He sounded as carefree as

always.

“Eason is willing to give you an extra 5% profit margin, and you’re still unsatisfied. Now, it’ll be difficult for you to pursue your career in Nava in the future.”

Eugene lifted his eyes. “There isn’t just the Harmon family in Nava.”

Simon shrugged. “You’re right, Love–Brain.

Eugene looked at him expressionlessly. Simon laughed. “I’m praising you.”
