The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Chapter 863

Melanie finished speaking and then went to Xander and the others. She did not want to continue this lame act with Eugene anymore.

Xander was waiting for her nearby. Seeing her approach, he asked in a low voice, “Is everything settled?”

“Yeah.” Melanie picked up Meredith and replied casually, “Let’s go back.”

Xander smiled in response. He glanced back at where Eugene was standing. Eugene had not left yet. He was looking at them with a dark and bitter gaze.

Xander casually withdrew his gaze. He reached out to tidy up Melanie’s wind–blown hair before leaving with her.

Eugene watched their departing figures. He saw Xander lower his head to tidy Melanie’s hair while they both smiled. Even Meredith was smiling.

It was so harmonious.

He deserved to be left behind.

Melanie’s conversation with Eugene was unpleasant, but she did not feel as relaxed as she

pretended.

Eugene was right. Cedric would make a move against her and Meredith in various ways.

Melanie felt like a snake was lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike at her at any moment.

When Eugene returned to the Scott family’s place, Cedric, Stella, and Henry were already there.

That day was the Scott family’s regular dinner. Despite the fierce internal dispute between Cedric and Eugene, they still had to put on an act.

Eugene looked at Cedric and Stella sitting together, finding it ironic.

“What’s with that look in your eyes?” Cedric questioned Eugene sharply.

Eugene’s expression was cold. “You can think whatever you want to think.

“You!” Cedric erupted in anger.

Henry reprimanded him, “That’s enough from you! How much wrongdoing have you done

yourself that you won’t allow him to have an opinion?”

“How could he? He hasn’t even brought back his other son. He has restrained himself enough.

Why do you demand so much from him?” Stella added coldly from the side.

Cedric found someone else to vent on and looked at Stella. “You should just shut up if you have nothing good to say!”

“Why shouldn’t I speak? Cedric, you’re willing to do anything for that illegitimate child of yours and your first love, even going against your own son. Do you still expect me to treat you with respect?” Stella sneered. “You have no shame. Why should I fear anything?”

Outsiders might not know, but there had always been rumors among the people in the circle. News of Cedric’s coercion of Eugene for the sake of his illegitimate child, whom he had with his first love, had long been spread in the circle.

Countless people privately ridiculed Cedric for being unable to distinguish between right and wrong. They made fun of the Scott family.

Even on Stella’s side, many tried to inquire about the truth under the pretext of comforting her.

Cedric’s face turned ugly at Stella’s words. “Don’t forget that you’re also a member of the Scott family! Look at your son! He turned into what he is because of your upbringing. He joined forces with outsiders to attack me!”

“Outsiders? I didn’t know you could distinguish outsiders. When you were having an affair with that slut, Alison, and gave birth to William, your illegitimate child, did you ever think about who the outsider was?”

Cedric slapped Stella. He glared at her, his anger boiling as he warned, “Stella! Watch your

words!” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

His slap was sudden, and everyone was stunned.
