The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 429

apter 429 

In the hospital corridor, people were coming and going. Viola opened her mouth as if wanting to say something, but upon seeing Eugene’s expressionless face, she felt an instinctive fear pierce through her. 

She had never seen Eugene so angry before. The intense cold aura surrounding him kept everyone at bay. However, when she thought about what Melanie had just said, her heart tightened. She gritted her teeth and called out to him. 

However, Eugene’s face remained stern. His sharp gaze suddenly turned toward her. Viola’s words got stuck in her throat. 

After a moment, she dryly said, “Don’t be angry.” 

The sharpness in Eugene’s eyes did not reduce in the slightest. He just nodded gracefully and replied heavily, “The doctor asked you to go for a CT scan. Go.” 

Facing Eugene’s gaze, Viola felt as if her heart was suspended in midair. She did not dare say anything and just went for the scan. 

After she left, Theodore hesitated to look at Eugene, who eventually snapped at him, “If you have something to say, then say it.” 

“Don’t you think what you said to Melanie just now was a bit too harsh? She was injured too. I saw her cradling her arm the entire time. It must’ve hurt. You were so harsh. After all, she’s just a lady-” 

Before he could finish, Eugene’s cold and stern voice cut him off, “Are you feeling sorry for her?” 

Theodore waved his hands repeatedly. “No, I’m just speaking the truth.” 

“No one needs your version of the truth.” 

Eugene’s expression was cold and stern, his black eyes exuding a chilly air. His tightly pressed lips revealed the extent of his bad mood. 

The results from the police came out that evening. The group of people were troublemakers from Hearth City and were on good terms with George. One of them had won a few thousand dollars from George in a game of cards, but George had not paid up. 

When they called to remind him about it, George claimed that his daughter in Jepton had a lot of money and that her boyfriend owned a company. He told them to find his daughter if they needed money and that they could ask for as much as they wanted. 

These people were usually jobless and engaged in petty crimes. Now that they had a legitimate reason to extort money, of course, they seized the opportunity. Armed with the information provided by George, they camped outside the LeapCo branch office every day. 

When they saw Melanie, they immediately recognized her and decided to take advantage of the situation to intimidate her. 

!! 

The truth was revealed, and there was a subtle look on Theodore’s face when he said, Eugene, you went too far this time. Melanie was also a victim, and you misunderstood her. No wonder she was driven to tears.” 

He did not mention Viola, but her face had already turned pale. 

Eugene remained silent, his gaze lowered as if he was lost in thought. His sealed lips and stoic demeanor revealed a lack of emotion.
