The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 666

Chapter 666 

Sam reacted first and greeted them with a smile, “No need to be formal. Please have a seat. Friends of Mr. Scott are also my friends.” 

Melanie looked back at Sam with a polite smile. Being accustomed to social gatherings like this, she effortlessly livened up the atmosphere with a few words. 

Although Sam could be difficult to deal with in business, he was a generous and straightforward person. Melanie was adept at handling such people. Knowing what he liked to hear, she managed to engage him in conversation for quite a while. 

Soon, more eyes at the table were on her. Unconcerned, Melanie raised her hand to signal the waiter for a glass of water. 

She then picked it up and said to Sam with a smile, “Mr. Walsh, since you said this is a gathering among friends, allow me to be a little shameless and make a toast to you with this glass of water. 

“I also wish to clarify a matter in front of everyone as it has seriously affected my life and reputation.” 

She glanced at Eugene calmly before directly addressing Howard who was sitting in the corner with slightly furrowed brows. “I apologize for taking up everyone’s time, but let me defend myself. 

“I’ve heard rumors recently about the relationship between Mr. Scott and me. I believe there has been a misunderstanding. Mr. Scott and I share no relationship whatsoever.” 

Placing her empty glass back on the table without a hint of expression, she added, “If there must be any relationship between us, it’s merely that of a former employer and employee. That’s all.” 

Melanie’s expression was already pale to begin with. Coupled with her soft voice and her back that was ramrod straight, she gave off an impression of resilience. It was like she was a little girl earnestly trying to prove her innocence after being wronged; she appeared very convincing. 

Silence fell over the table with everyone present avoiding her gaze. Her direct and candid demeanor 

was too striking. 

Having said what she wanted to say and with the atmosphere cooling down, no one dared to speak up. Even Sam’s expression became somewhat mild. 

Just as she was about to change the subject, she heard a stern voice question. “Hey, Melanie, what you said doesn’t sound right. What do you mean when you say you have no relationship with him? Didn’t you admit before that the child in your belly is his?” 

“What’s going on? Is Mr. Scott deliberately threatening you because he knows his reputation has been bad recently? Don’t be afraid. Everyone here is your father’s friend. If you have any grievances, just speak up. We’ll definitely support you.” 

Following the voice, Melanie looked over and saw that it was one of the two people she had dinner 

with Howard last time. His name was Gaston.

Now, everyone at the table was drawn to them.
