The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

She lowered her lashes, “I don’t care what happens to the Scotts, as long as Timothy stays behind bars for a while longer.”

If Timothy got out, she and Merry would probably be the first ones in his firing range.

Eugene seemed to be seriously angry this time. He resisted the pressure from Cedric and refused to let Timothy go.

The next time Melanie went to the hospital again, she ran into Stella.

Stella was carrying a thermos. When she saw Melanie, she bit her lip but did not say anything, running into the ward before Melanie.

Eugene spoke expressionlessly. “Why are you here?”

“Am I not welcome here? Just look at you now. What were you thinking?”

Eugene said, “Timothy was the one who tried to hurt me. How is that my fault?”

Stella was furious. Ignoring Melanie, she raised her voice and barked, “Eugene, your father is trying to make that slut’s son his heir! Why are you still so stubborn? Do you really want to see that slut humiliate me from beyond the grave?!

“The deal between LeapCo and the Harmons is crucial. You have to settle with them right now! I’ll get your uncle to take you to Timothy’s eldest brother. That’s the best way out of this situation!”

Eugene’s expression did not change, but his eyes became even colder. He looked up at Stella and his voice turned to ice. “You’d better go back now.‘

“Eugene! Who do you think am I doing this for?!”

Eugene’s dark eyes seemed to see right through her. “You’re doing this for yourself so that you can hold your head up high in front of that woman. So that you can take revenge on Cedric for betraying you.”

The blood drained from Stella’s face. She swayed unsteadily on her feet. Eugene called Lee and ordered him to take Stella back home.

Melanie did not care about the tension between Stella and Eugene, but she could tell by Eugene’s attitude that he would not let Timothy go that easily.

After a moment of silence, she asked Eugene, “Will the incident with Timothy affect LeapCo?”

By LeapCo, she was obviously referring to Eugene’s branch of the company.

Instead of answering her question, Eugene asked one of his own. “Are you worried about me?”

“No, I was just asking.” Melanie kept a straight face.

Eugene chuckled as if he found her answer amusing.

Melanie looked at him. “I just checked with the doctor. He said there’s nothing wrong with your wound. You can be discharged in a couple of days.”

Eugene looked up and was about to speak when he heard Melanie say, “We’re leaving soon.”

The expression on his face froze, and then the warmth faded from his dark eyes. “Where are you going? Back to Nava?”

Melanie said nothing, but she knew she was not going back to Nava. She was prepared to go abroad

right away.

Timothy was a ticking time bomb, a sword hanging over her head.

Eugene asked, “When are you leaving?”

Melanie hesitated. Eugene had gotten injured because of her. She said softly, “We’ll leave once you’re discharged and can recuperate at home.”

A self–deprecating look flashed across Eugene’s face, but he only nodded wordlessly.

However, just as Melanie was about to leave, he suddenly said, “When you come tomorrow, bring Merry with you.”

Melanie subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Eugene said, “My friend is a pediatrician. I heard that she’s also allergic to many types of drugs, so you should bring her over for a detailed examination.”
