The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 450

Chapter 450 

Panic flashed in Viola’s eyes. “N-No, I didn’t mean that.” 

Stella snorted. “Can’t even talk straight anymore? Heh, you’re the biggest failure in the entire LeapCo. Eugene must have been blind to take you in.” 

Stella may have come from a wealthy family, but she did not have the grace befitting her status. She never hesitated to insult and demean others. 

Melanie understood that well after all the time she had spent around the Scott family. 

Eugene was not there, and she had no reason to stay any longer. Ignoring Stella and Viola, she turned and went back into the elevator. 

However, as soon as she left the entrance of LeapCo, she bumped into Eugene walking in expressionlessly. Lee followed behind him with a slight frown. 

When he saw Melanie, Eugene’s dark eyes paused for a moment before he swept past her. He looked like he was in a bad mood. 

Lee, on the other hand, stopped. “You came to see Mr. Scott?” 

Melanie nodded. “I’m here to talk to Mr. Scott about the injury he sustained at Burning Star. We’re willing to compensate.” 

Lee frowned. He looked at Eugene and hesitated. “I’m afraid now is not the right time. Mr. Scott has something on today…” 

Melanie nodded. She had also felt the cold aura emanating from Eugene just now. She was about to leave when he suddenly stopped in his tracks. 

Eugene turned back to look at her. His eyes were cold and deep. He stared at Melanie and said in an extremely harsh tone, “You want to compensate me, didn’t you? Sure. How much do you plan to pay me? 100 million or 200 million?” 

Melanie’s expression did not change. “We will try our best to satisfy your request within a reasonable range.” 

“Do you want my forgiveness? Or are you just afraid to lose this business deal?” Eugene’s sharp gaze fell on Melanie. His dark eyes were cold, as if he were looking at a stranger. 

It was obvious that Eugene was not in a good mood, so it was a bad time to talk about this. Melanie paused. “I’ll talk to you another day. Burning Star and LeapCo are partners. We hope we can continue to work together amicably.”

Eugene had gone early that morning to discuss a business deal with Lee. Both parties had been in touch before, and everything was going well. However, the other party had increased the price by 8% at the very last minute. 

That was not a small amount, so Eugene was in a foul mood. 

That was why he could not help but scoff at Melanie’s dignified words about an amicable cooperation. “Melanie, why are you kissing up to me? Shouldn’t you be cozying up to Xander?” Melanie’s eyebrows rose slowly. “I’m here on behalf of Burning Star.‘ 

“What if I don’t refuse?” Eugene’s dark eyes were focused on Melanie, like an abyss that threatened to pull her in. 

Melanie paused. “What are your terms?”
