The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Eugene and Stella might show some mercy, but Cedric might not.

The expression on Melanie’s face darkened, and she could hardly hold onto her phone. Xander looked worried and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Melanie came back to her senses and looked at Xander. “Cedric wants to meet me.”

Because of this phone call from Cedric, Melanie was unsettled and even considered buying a plane ticket to leave Jepton immediately.

However, that was just a fleeting thought.

The Scott family was influential and wealthy. It would be as easy as pie for Cedric to find her.

The case where Cedric had tampered with her medical records and orchestrated an intentional injury went unresolved. Until now, there was no definitive conclusion. It was clear that Cedric had no reason to fear anything.

Despite the conflict between Eugene and Cedric and Eugene’s considerable effort, Cedric could not be easily defeated. After all, he had been in the business world in Jepton for decades.

Melanie was worried but still went to LeapCo’s headquarters the following day.

She did not bring Meredith. Instead, she asked Xander to look after her.

Honestly, she was afraid to let Meredith meet someone like Cedric. However, what she did not expect was Cedric’s surprisingly deep understanding of Meredith.

Melanie looked at the various photos of Meredith on the desk, her pupils dilating slightly. Cedric sat behind the desk, chuckling. “You’ve done well to raise the child this far. I underestimated you.”

Melanie felt her bones chilling at the contempt and disdain Cedric showed toward Meredith. He asked, “Is this Eugene’s daughter?”

She lowered her eyelids, concealing her emotions before saying, “I tend to think she has no relation to the Scott family.”

Cedric retorted, “But she carries Eugene’s blood in her veins. You still say there’s no connection?” “What do you want to discuss with me today?” Melanie gradually calmed down. She looked at Cedric and asked, “I don’t think I have anything to do with you, Mr. Scott.”

Cedric stared sharply at Melanie. “Are you sure about that?”

“Is Eugene giving you the courage to speak to me like this? Melanie, you’d better not forget you were once an employee of LeapCo. Even if that contract was taken by Eugene, so what? I have ways and means to teach you a lesson!”

Cedric’s voice was hoarse, carrying a sense of authority and sharp scrutiny. It made Melanie

uncomfortable.

Cedric was furious. Eugene was out of control. He rejected the Harmon family’s offer and worked with the people from Oskon City, directing their hostility toward LeapCo’s headquarters!

Moreover, the point was that Eugene had recently started using his previous cases against him again, showing no signs of relenting. Cedric had been maneuvering in the business world for half a lifetime. He was naturally furious because he had been embarrassed like this by his own son.

Since Eugene was so capable, Cedric wanted to see what Eugene could do!

Cedric’s anger intensified as he looked at Melanie, the root of it all. If he had dealt with Eugene’s interest in Melanie decisively at the beginning and agreed to all his demands, it would have saved him this trouble now.

Cedric’s ferocity was becoming increasingly apparent. However, a gentle voice came from outside before he could explode. “Mr. Scott, a guest is waiting for you in the office.”

William pushed open the office door and walked in, smiling. “Ms. Smith, can I have a word with you?” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
