The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Chapter 859

Before, in Eugene’s ward, Melanie had seen William once. However, it was just a fleeting glance. Now, she finally got a clear look at him.

Apart from the striking resemblance to Cedric in facial features, he was the opposite in temperament.

If Cedric was overtly intimidating, then William gave off a hypocritical temperament.

He was deceitful.

He was smiling as he spoke, yet behind his spectacles, his eyes were filled with schemes.

Melanie did not like being around such people. It was always uncomfortable being treated as prey. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

She stood up. “Since Mr. Scott is busy now, I’ll excuse myself.”

William chuckled. “Ms. Smith, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Your friend will take care of your daughter, and there won’t be another Timothy who’d try to snatch her away, right?”

Melanie’s heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm. She looked at William. “What do mean?”

you

William casually replied, “Ms. Smith, you brought your daughter back to Jepton and didn’t bring her along today, so it must be because a friend is helping you take care of her. Plus, everyone in Jepton knows about Timothy’s situation.”

There was a hint of sarcasm in William’s eyes. “Eugene is known for acting impulsively for a

woman’s sake.”

“Mr. Thames,” Melanie said coldly, lifting her chin slightly in a manner familiar to those who knew her well. Melanie usually gave this look when she was annoyed.

She stared at William and said, “How you speak makes me uncomfortable. There’s no need to beat

about the bush. Just say what you want.‘

William deliberately mentioned Meredith and Timothy as if implying something. He was putting on quite a show.

Although Melanie was used to dealing with all sorts of people in the business world, even those difficult to get along with, she could not muster the same composure with William for some reason.

She rarely had such strong resistance toward someone she was not even familiar with. It was likely that their temperaments clashed.

However, even though she was being direct, William only showed a hint of coldness in his eyes without displaying any displeasure.

He nodded. “I just heard some things about you and Eugene in the past. I found your situation regrettable. You seemed like a perfect match, but…”

William sighed regretfully. “It’s a pity things turned out the way they did.”

He paused before adding with a look of pity, “It almost cost you your child

Melanie sneered deep down. Cedric called her here because of Eugene? That was a misjudgment.

She looked at William expressionlessly and interrupted his act, saying calmly, “You’ve misunderstood. Eugene and I are not as entangled as you think. Both of us are on separate paths, and Meredith’s existence is also due to an accident.

“If you feel you can gain anything from Eugene through me, you’re mistaken.

“You should go to Violet or Evelyn.”

After saying that, she wanted to leave, but William calmly said from behind, “It seems Eugene’s devotion to you is in vain.

“Melanie, do you know why Eugene resigned from LeapCo’s headquarters?”

William’s tone was casual without much fluctuation. “It was for you.”

His words carried a hint of temptation. “You should be well aware of the chairman’s methods. You performed so well during that time. Do you think he would easily let go of a valuable employee like you?”

Melanie’s expression darkened slightly. Cedric’s controlling nature was strong in every aspect. He had to have control over everything and everyone.

Otherwise, he would not have demanded that Melanie, Eugene’s secretary, sign a work agreement.
