The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 424

Chapter 424 

1/2 

Melanie’s fingertips were pale from how tightly they were curled up. The smell of disinfectarft permeated the hospital ward, and each breath felt like a weight on her chest. 

She avoided meeting Eugene’s gaze. She did not want her frustration to be too obvious. Eugene was too smart, and she could not hide anything from him. 

Glancing at Peachie’s IV drip, Melanie muttered some things before grabbing her bag and preparing to leave. 

Viola looked at her. “Melanie, where are you going?” 

Melanie replied, “To the hotel.” She then left without looking back. 

Viola frowned and then looked at Peachie, who was lying in bed. She sighed helplessly and whispered to Eugene, “Eugene, wait for me here. I’ll go check on Melanie. She must be angry.” 

Once outside the ward, Melanie’s emotions finally settled. She knew finding evidence implicating Viola and Dylan would be difficult given Viola’s provocative attitude. 

However, if Viola had indeed been whispering into George’s and Dylan’s ears, then she was indirectly the cause of her grandfather’s suffering. Melanie could not let that go so easily. 

Lost in her thoughts, Melanie failed to notice the person following her. 

It was not until she exited the hospital and reached a nearby alley did Melanie hear eerie laughter behind her. “You’re George’s daughter, right?” 

She halted and turned around, only to see the thugs she had encountered at the branch office not far behind her. 

Melanie was immediately on her guard while still maintaining her calm. She took two steps back and said, “You’ve got the wrong person. 

One of them had a phone and was comparing Melanie’s features with a photo. He then threw the phone in front of her. “Dare you say the person in the photo isn’t you?” 

On the phone was unmistakably a photo of Melanie. It was taken surreptitiously at a hospital in Jepton. 

The guy had a sly look. He had tanned skin and wore a large gold chain around his neck. His gaze on Melanie was malicious. 

“We’re your dad’s friends. He said his daughter is doing well, so how about you show some respect and give us some money? That shouldn’t be a problem, right?” 

These men looked to be roughly the same age as George, but they exuded a more streetwise savviness. They were clearly accustomed to a life outside the mainstream. 

Disgust marred Melanie’s features at the mention of the man. “I have no relation to him. You’ve got the wrong person.” 

“Wrong person? We’ve been waiting at that crappy company every day. That old turtle swore his son–in–law was wealthy and told us to look to him for money, but we haven’t seen a dine. 

“Anyway, you’re his daughter. Showing some filial piety won’t hurt.”

The guy was about to reach out and grab Melanie when she suddenly raised her voice. “You think I won’t I’ll call the police?” 

“Sure, go ahead and call them.” One of them even whistled mockingly.
