The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 682

Chapter 682 

It was already late, but there was no one in the conference hall. 

When they arrived upstairs, the floor was very quiet. Only footsteps could be heard. 

Hugh went to Melanie’s side and suddenly said, “That’s really cold of you.” 

Melanie glanced at him from the side. “What do you mean?” 

“It looks like Mr. Scott is here specifically to see you.” Hugh strode up the stairs. That stoic and expressionless face on Eugene’s face was quite uninteresting. 

Melanie replied, “You’ve got it wrong.” 

Hugh grunted a reply and sounded a little sorry. “Looks like Yvonne is going to be disappointed. She shared some tips with me and was looking forward to me utilizing them.” 

Melanie did not say anything. 

Yvonne always had weird ideas. Melanie would not be surprised if Yvonne had come up with something unexpected for Hugh to do. 

Lee arrived with a few policemen not long after they arrived upstairs. Eugene followed behind them. 

Melanie and Hugh stood together. She met Eugene’s eyes stoically before turning to look at the monitor. 

They were in the security room on the top floor. Every security footage from the conference hall could be watched here. 

The staff took out the footage from the only camera they had forgotten to turn off and quickly forwarded it to the afternoon. 

Everything looked normal until a few men in uniform appeared at the stairs. 

One of them was carrying a huge bundle of wooden logs. 

Melanie’s face fell instantly when she saw the man’s face. She remembered him. He was the one who had almost knocked into her when he was carrying those logs. 

There was a man with a teapot standing next to him. It was the same teapot that was thrown down that day. 

Melanie focused on the man’s face, and she heard Eugene say in a low voice, ” Stop there.”

She turned to look and saw him staring at the man who was holding the teapot. Eugene sensed her gaze and looked up. 

He asked the staff member, 

“Can you get footage from the front door?” 

After getting the police’s agreement, the staff member quickly pulled out the camera footage from the front door. They saw the same faces of the same of people. 

A familiar figure appeared in the camera footage of the front door. 

It was Viola.

She walked through the door at almost the same time as the group of men. Her head was lowered while she walked in. She quickly separated from the rest. 

Melanie watched this carefully and said to the staff member, “Can you pull out the footage from before and let us have a look at what the cameras in the other areas caught?” 

The conference hall was huge. Even though the cameras stopped working for a while during the afternoon, it would still take a lot of time to look through all of the footage–especially when they had to go through every single thing. 

Hugh stared at the monitor and grunted softly. “We can just start from the floor where Melanie was and the top floor. This would save time.” 

He pulled a chair over after that and placed it at a distance from the monitor. He waved Melanie over. “You should sit here. It’s tiring for you to be standing for so long.” 

Melanie did not really want to move away from the monitor. Hugh glanced at Eugene, who had been looking at Melanie all this time. He cleared his voice to say, “Stop being so stubborn. You should think of the baby and not tire yourself out.” 

She paused for a moment, and another voice spoke up calmly. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Eugene fling his phone onto the table with a stoic expression. 

There was a cold look in his dark eyes as he looked right at Melanie. “Didn’t you hear him, Miss Smith? You should think of the baby and not tire yourself out.” 

Each word was spoken slowly and icily. His words were like frost in the air. 

Melanie was unperturbed. She looked at Hugh. He was holding onto the chair and frowning slightly as he said, “Do you find the chair to be uncomfortable?” 

He placed his coat over the chair as he spoke while he looked at Melanie expectantly.
