The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 749

Chapter 749 

The bar was dimly lit, and Eugene was completely hidden in the shadows. Simon gave him a long stare before running his fingers through his hair in frustration. “Don’t even joke about that Eugene raised his eyes and looked at Simon silently. He asked in a flat voice, “About what?” 

Simon looked at him and hesitated. In the end, he drank half his glass of wine and said directly,” What’s going on between you and Melanie?” 

Everyone in their circle knew that Eugene and Melanie had been at loggerheads for a long time now. Many people thought that Eugene was acting so coldly to Melanie because he got tired of playing with her and wanted to find a new replacement. 

Only Simon knew that Eugene had truly intended to propose to Melanie. 

However, it was also at that time that he overheard the conversation between Melanie and Cedric She had promised Cedric that she would not marry Eugene, saying that she would only be his secretary and nothing more. 

How could a man as proud as Eugene ask after he knew he would be turned down? 

Simon could not remember what had happened to the ring after that. All he knew was that Eugene’s relationship with Melanie had slowly faded from then on. 

They were gathering at the bar that night to celebrate a friend’s birthday, so the atmosphere soon became lively again. 

Eugene never answered Simon’s question, and Simon never asked again. 

However, Simon did remember something else. Wearing his usual nonchalant expression, he picked up his wine glass and clinked it against Eugene’s. “Evelyn has been building up her connections lately, I heard that she’s been asking about you, and I even bumped into her a few times. She’s quite a 

smart woman. 

Eugene nodded. 

Simon tactfully changed the topic. “Is everything going well in Oskon City? The Hendersons have been getting busy.” 

Eugene’s brow creased. 

Simon leaned back on the sofa and clicked his tongue. “I still don’t understand what your father is thinking. How could he kick you out of headquarters for the Hendersons? It’ll be even harder for you to go back now.” 

Eugene’s gaze was deep and cold under the dim strobing lights of the bar. He was silent for a while before saying, “So what if it’s hard?” 

Those things were still at headquarters. He had to get his hands on them. 

2/2 

Melanie reed at the villa for a few more days before Xander agreed to let her return to work. 

Fate and Yvette had been beeping her abreast with the updates from Oskon City. They had revised the proposal for Hochwowes many times over, too. 

Ever since Matthew called that night, Melanie had not heard a word from him. Even Howard had not wontactest her for a while, 

On the other hand, Viola had been released on medical parole, just as they suspected. 

Melante was having lunch with Yvonne when Stephen called to tell her Dylan and George had both been discharged from the hospital. 

For morning sickness had been acting up again recently. The slightest odor could trigger her nausea.
