The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 861

Chapter 861 

The matter of Meredith could not be concealed. Even if Eugene kept it to himself, others who knew about it would talk. It was only a matter of time before it reached Cedric’s ears. 

Eugene pondered for a moment with his eyes lowered, and Lee reminded him, “Mr. Scott, Mr. Hel will be here in a while.” 

The internal strife within LeapCo had gradually heated up, and it was evident that the Hel family was siding with Eugene. 

Lee had heard discussions among employees privately, saying they had only seen fights between brothers. This was their first time witnessing such intense conflict between father and son. 

The situation with Eugene was truly more complex than sibling rivalry. 

Few people knew about William’s status as Cedric’s illegitimate child. For a father to scheme against his legitimate son was even more heart–wrenching. 

Moreover, Lee had seen that if it had not been for Eugene’s connections over the years, he would have been defeated by Cedric long ago. After all, both Cedric and William were ruthless and showed no 

mercy. 

It seemed like Cedric and Eugene were enemies rather than father and son. 

In the evening, Melanie received a message from 2, whom she had not received messages from for a long time. It contained only two words. [Be careful.] 

Melanie glanced at it and promptly deleted the message without replying. 

Meredith had been very curious about everything lately. Yesterday afternoon, she was delighted to see children flying kites outside. Hence, Melanie and Xander took her out to fly kites early in the morning. 

There was a large lawn near the villa area. Xander bought a kite shaped like a little carp. Melanie walked beside Meredith with the stroller. 

Yvonne came, dressed in sportswear. “Darling, I’m good at flying kites. I promise to make the little carp fly high.” 

Meredith did not understand but cheered. She smiled at Yvonne, who was utterly charmed. 

It was the end of spring, and many people were flying kites. Meredith sat in the stroller, clapping her hands as she watched Yvonne’s little carp fly farther away. 

Xander walked over. “Aren’t you going to play?” 

Melanie shook her head. “Meredith is here.” 

Xander asked, “Do I look like I’ll kidnap her? You’re supposed to spend time relaxing today.”

Since meeting Ovdhic yesterday, Melanie had been feeling down. 

They both knew how much of an impact Cedric had on her. 

Melanie had not slept well all night. Her mind was filled with all sorts of chaotic thoughts. She knew she could not keep allowing herself to be this tense. Otherwise, even before Cedric had made a move, she would have scared herself.

However, Koing kites was a physical activity. After playing with Yvonne for a while, her arms and neck felt sore 

Yoone said, “I can’t go on anymore. Wait here. I’ll get the camera and take a photo. The kite finally flew so high
