The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 270

Chapter 270 

“What are you doing here?” Eugene’s deep voice sounded, causing Melanie to pause slightly before raising her eyes toward the voice. 

Sure enough, she saw Eugene standing not far away. His gaze fell on Melanie, and his tone was calm as he asked, “Who allowed you to come?” 

Melanie’s gaze trembled slightly. “I came to look for Dr. Hel.” 

“This is a LeapCo gathering. Melanie, you’ve already resigned.” Eugene’s black eyes were like an unfathomable abyss, revealing no emotions. 

“Melanie should be here. Today is the celebration of the company’s collaboration with Blue Inc. Melanie worked hard for it,” Viola said softly as if trying to speak up for Melanie. 

However, before she could maintain the gentle expression on her face, she heard Stella sneer. ” That’s quite reasonable of you.” 

Stella’s words were laced with sarcasm, and Viola hesitated for a moment before instinctively looking at Melanie. Faced with Stella’s ruthless sarcasm, she naturally hoped to see a similar reaction from Melanie. 

However, Melanie’s expression remained unchanged and calm. “Mr. Scott, the resignation procedures haven’t been processed yet, so I’m still an employee of LeapCo.” 

Eugene scoffed. “Melanie, you stop at nothing to achieve your goals.” 

“I’m just stating facts.” 

When Melanie spoke, her posture was upright, but only she knew how much self–contempt she felt when uttering such words. She thought about how she resembled a shameless 

scoundrel. 

Cedric arrived then. When he saw a group of people gathered at the entrance, he frowned and sternly rebuked, “What are you all doing here?” 

“A shameless troublemaker is trying to stick their nose around here again,” Stella replied. 

After saying this, she picked up her feet and immediately went into the banquet hall with Howard following closely behind. 

Cedric’s gaze lingered on Melanie for a moment before he turned to Eugene. His tone was neither pleased nor angry. “Handle whatever matters you have quickly.” 

“Mr. Scott, why not let Melanie in? It won’t look good for her to stay outside like this,” Viola spoke up again. She dared to since Stella had left. 

She looked at Melanie and whispered her suggestion, framing it as if Melanie had come to beg for something. She punctuated that suggestion with a glance at Melanie. 

“Melanie, there are a lot of people here today. What you did previously had a significant impact. Mr. Scott is also considering your reputation.” 

Melanie did not know where Viola was pulling all these words from. She looked at Howard’s retreating figure and realized that it would be difficult to discuss her grandfather’s situation with him now.
