The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238 Little Maia, It’s Really You 

Maia smiled at Mr. Welbeck. This smile was sweet and gentle, but it gave off a razor–sharp feeling. 

Did he see them, siblings without a father and with their mother deceased, as easy targets to bully? Starlight Entertainment might not be at its peak, but it still held a respectable position. in the industry. As the president of Starlight Entertainment, she could never let an outsider embarrass her like this. Once word got out, it would damage the company’s reputation. 

Maia understood what Mr. Welbeck’s show of authority meant. He was establishing authority for Elena, fearing she might be mistreated after marrying Errol. Hence, he displayed this act at the dinner table, showing his prowess as a father to both Maia and Errol. 

However, such behavior was truly unnecessary. 

Welbeck looked at Maia and smiled, “Indeed, a friend of mine has an only son, but he’s quite at spendthrift. So, he’s considering hiring a good manager to plan for the future.” 

Maia nodded with a smile, “Sure, I’ll have my assistant compile a list for you, and you can pass it on to your friend.” 

“How can I trouble you with this?” Mr. Welbeck was polite in his response. 

“Mr. Welbeck, firstly, you’re a senior in the business world. Secondly, when Elena marries Errol, we’ll be family. Just based on that, if you’re busy, I will help to the best of my ability,” Maia’s words were tactful and gentle, leaving no room for criticism. 

Mr. Welbeck’s expression visibly changed after hearing Maia’s words. He said, “With a sister like Ms. Maia, Elena will undoubtedly be happy.” 

Mrs. Welbeck also nodded in agreement, “Yes, everyone says an elder brother is like a father, and an elder sister is like a mother. This is my first time meeting Mrs. Maia…” Pausing, Mrs. Welbeck asked, “Can I call you Maia? It would be more intimate.” 

“Of course, Mrs. Welbeck.” 

Mrs. Welbeck smiled and continued, “Today is my first time meeting you in person. You are even more beautiful than on TV and in the news, and the key is, you’re competent and sensible. Elena has been spoiled since childhood. If there are any shortcomings, we hope you can bear with her.” 

“Elena deserves to be pampered. If Errol bullies her, I’ll be the first to scold my brother.” 

Maia knew Errol’s character very well as his sister, he would never mistreat Elena. 

“With a sister like Mala, Elena is fortunate!” Mrs. Welbeck complimented warmly and then looked at Elena sitting beside her, “Elena, what are you still doing? Hurry up and call her

Elena was shy but smiled and gestured, “Sister, thank you. But I trust my brother Errol won’t bully me. If he ever bullies me, I’ll let you know, okay?” 

Looking at the innocent Elena, Maia couldn’t bear to refuse her. Smiling, she nodded, “Sure, remember to tell me right away.” 

“Okay.” Elena nodded happily. 

Later, everyone raised their glasses, and there were more obligatory gestures for such occasions. Maia occasionally kept an eye on Errol. His gaze towards Elena was tender, but it always lacked that certain something. 

The girl sitting in front of him was very pure and elegant, undoubtedly a good match, but not the one in his heart. Maia understood, but there was nothing she could say or do. It was Errol’s decision, and even though she was his sister, she couldn’t interfere too much. 

Soon, Maia found an excuse to go to the restroom and walked towards the exit of the private room. In her ears, she kept hearing Errol’s words from earlier. She quickened her pace, planning to cross the hall and head towards the restroom at the end. 

However, as she reached the middle of the hall, a somewhat intoxicated man rushed towards 

her. 

“Hey, it’s really Little Maia!” 

Maia looked at the man in front of her, drunk and disheveled, and smelled the unpleasant odor of alcohol emanating from him. 

“Don’t you remember me? Little Maia, when you entered La Rouquette, someone saw you. I thought they were mistaken, but it’s really you… Little Maia, don’t you remember me? I was the student union president when you were in college,” the man said with an air of self- 

satisfaction. 

Maia barely remembered him now. He was the president of the student union during her college days, a guy who never did anything productive. He would lounge around with his legs crossed, driving a sports car, and chasing after girls. 

Maia didn’t bother acknowledging him and pretended not to recognize him, attempting to go around him. However, the student union president, Brad, was persistent. Just as Maia tried to avoid him, he stepped forward and blocked her way.
