The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294 

Melanie was taken aback. Xander glanced at her wrist and said calmly, “You should rest that sprain if you want it to get better.” 

Melanie pulled her hand away uncomfortably. Xander had noticed her injured hand when she had first come over. 

She lowered her lashes. Xander was the only one who had noticed she was hurt. 

Xander wanted to help Melanie drive, so he handed his car keys to Oliver. Reny leaned over and looked at Melanie. She wanted to say something but hesitated. 

Melanie paused. “Is something wrong?” 

“Nothing. I just wanted to ask if you have a grudge against Mr. Emerson.” She scratched her head. “I’ve never seen you be so actively hostile to someone before.” 

Melanie’s expression became more distant. “Quentin used to be at LeapCo, too.” 

Reny blinked and was about to speak when Oliver called her away. They walked far away before Melanie heard Oliver huffing, “Why are you always so nosy?” 

“I was just curious…‘ 

Melanie knew that she had been quite harsh to Quentin, and Quentin’s words left a lot to the imagination. 

She had been waiting for Xander to ask, but he did not say anything until they reached Dylan’s 

hotel. 

“What is it?” Xander asked as the car came to a stop. He turned suddenly and looked at 

Melanie. “You keep staring at me. Is it something on my face?” 

Xander suddenly leaned closer to Melanie, leaving her flustered. She moved back 

imperceptibly. “No, it’s not that.” 

“Then what’s on your mind?” Xander pressed. 

“Aren’t you curious about me and Quentin?” Quentin’s words in the conference room today were so pointed that even Reny was intrigued. 

Xander raised his eyebrows slightly. “What’s there to be curious about? He doesn’t look like a good guy.” 

Melanie had not expected Xander to say that. “How can you tell?” 

Xander did not say anything. He looked outside and said in a low voice, “I’m going to buy something.” 

With that, he drove off. 

The Jepton rain seemed to be back with a vengeance, determined to make up for lost time. 

Melanie sat in the car for a while before getting out of the car and going to the hotel. She dragged Dylan out of the room, her expression stormy. “If you don’t go back to Hearth City now, I won’t give you a single cent.”

If Dylan could pester her, then Melanie could threaten her in return. 

As expected, Dylan immediately cowed at the threat and looked at Melanie timidly.
