The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 726

Chapter 726 

Melanie looked at Eugene when she said that; she was testing him. 

The man’s face remained calm. He merely lifted a brow and responded, “Is that so?” 

“Do you know who it is?” Melanie asked back. Seeing as it was someone who was able to hire Luther as Viola’s lawyer and get her to make such remarks about them, this indicated that the person was someone of significant standing. 

Melanie went through the list of people she knew in Oskon City who had something to do with Eugene but could not think of anyone. Thus, she asked Eugene himself. 

Eugene looked at her, dark eyes deep and serene. A moment passed before he answered with a slight shift in his gaze, “I don’t.” 

Melanie fixed her gaze on him but could not catch anything unusual. She bit her lip and reeled back her gaze. 

Zara asked a few more questions, and Melanie answered them one by one. It was all similar to what was written in the documents. 

“Alright, I get the specifics now. I’ll look for you if I have any more questions in the future.” With that said, Zara gave Melanie some program manuals and asked her to look through them. 

After thanking Zara, Melanie was prepared to leave. Just when she was about to exit through the door, however, Seraphine entered with a letter in her hand. “Miss Henson, the delivery has been made.” 

Without even looking up, the woman answered, “Give it to Mr. Scott.” 

Melanie paused, thinking no wonder Eugene was not making a move to leave. She pursed her lips and 

then left. 

Back in the office, Zara completed the task at hand before looking up at the man and adjusting her glasses. “Do you have any more questions, Mr. Scott? If not, I still have other matters to attend to.” 

“Who do you think has the greater chance of winning, Miss Henson? You, or Luther?” 

Zara paused, not expecting him to ask such a question. However, Eugene was currently a huge client of Navair Law Firm, so despite her doubts, she answered, “I can’t say I’m 100% confident, but I take all my cases seriously.” 

Melanie waited outside for about ten minutes or so before Eugene finally came out. Melanie pressed her lips together slightly and stood up, walking toward him. 

Eugene and slowed down. Melanie immediately asked, “Aren’t you supposed to be in Oskon City? Why are you in Jepton? And here of all places.‘ 

Eugene’s dark eyes lowered slightly, but he quickly raised them again after a second. He looked ahead expressionlessly as he replied, “I came back to sign a contract. LeapCo is changing law firms.”

“Did you arrange for me to meet Miss Henson?” 

She was realizing now how many coincidences there were. Why did Lee call her that night and specifically ask her to go to LeapCo the next day? Why did she just so happen to run into Zara when she did? 

It was all too coincidental, and when coincidences piled up, they ceased to be coincidences. 

She followed Eugene outside and stopped in front of his car. Emotions surged in Melanie’s heart as she looked up at Eugene. “Eugene, if you arranged this, I’m very grateful,” she said, tone serious and gaze clear. 

Melanie’s words were sincere. After all, the best lawyers in Jepton were at Navair Law Firm, and Zara was among the top. With her help, Melanie felt a bit more at ease. 

Despite the many messy things between her and Eugene, her gratitude toward him was sincere 

at 

least when it came to this. 

Eugene unlocked the car and glanced at Melanie. His gaze was light, and there seemed to be some emotion in his eyes that gave him a distant appearance. After observing Melanie for a moment, he casually averted his gaze and responded coldly, “You’re overthinking.” 

Melanie did not say anything. Whether it was Eugene or not, she had said what she needed to say. She turned around and walked away. Eugene stood where he was for a moment before getting into the car. 

Unbeknownst to either of them, they were being watched by two people who were at the opposite 

store. 

Viola’s expression was resentful while Luther was cautious. His narrowed gaze was thoughtful. He tapped his fingers on the table and said, “Looks like they really went to Zara for this.” 

Viola turned to him. “What’s wrong, Mr. Laing? Are you not as capable as Zara? Why did you drag me over as soon as you heard her name?” 

Luther’s displeasure was evident as he warned, “Miss Shaw, watch your words.” 

“I was just joking with you because you seemed nervous, Mr. Laing,” she replied with a playful tone. 

Viola was also feeling frustrated. When she went to see Matthew that day, he did not hesitate to hire Luther for her. She initially thought Matthew might be interested in her and wanted him to return to Jepton with her. 

She did not expect him to just throw her to Luther and wash his hands of the matter.
