The Unfaithful Mr. Scott ( Melanie Smith )
Chapter 467

Chapter 467 

Carlisle’s gaze quickly shifted away after just a moment. Melanie had considered telling Yvonne about it but decided against it. 

Yvonne suddenly looked up and noticed a man–or rather, a young man–coming toward them. The young man was wearing a basketball jersey with a gray hoodie pulled on top of it. He had slightly longer than buzz–cut hair and a noticeable black ear cuff on his right ear. 

Melanie subconsciously frowned, but Yvonne had already greeted him, “Hughie, over here.” 

The young man called Hugh paused, a hint of displeasure on his face. “I told you not to call me that.” 

He then noticed Melanie next to Yvonne. There was a pause before he shifted his sharp and narrow eyes away. In a not–so–friendly tone, he asked Yvonne, “Why did you bring a friend? What do you want?” 

Yvonne smiled and then immediately put on a serious face. “Cut the crap. If I ask you to come, you come.” 

After that, she casually introduced Melanie, “Hughie is a junior at Jepton University. He’s a brat.” 

Melanie nodded. “Your boyfriend?” 

Yvonne was about to speak when suddenly she saw someone approaching them. Her expression changed instantly, and she affectionately hugged Hugh’s arm while crooning coquettishly, “Yes, it’s so much better dating a younger man than an older one.” 

“Yvonne.” A gentle and clear voice sounded. Melanie looked over and saw the woman who had been standing next to Carlisle earlier. 

She and Carlisle shared some features. She was probably the birthday girl, Celina. 

As Yvonne continued to hug Hugh’s arm, her smile slowly faded and she whispered, “Celina, happy birthday.” 

Celina hesitated and looked at Yvonne before glancing at Hugh. “Yvonne, back then, my 

brother…‘ 

Yvonne smiled superficially. “Celina, don’t mention your brother in front of my current boyfriend. I’m afraid this little puppy will get jealous.” 

Celina stopped talking. Carlisle was scolded by the family when he returned to the country because of Yvonne. 

This time, their mother had commanded her to restore Yvonne and Carlisle’s relationship to what it once was during her birthday banquet. 

After all, there was no daughter–in–law more satisfying than Yvonne to their family. More accurately, no other family would be as good as Yvonne’s family. 

Yvonne and Hugh were an intimate sight with how she was still holding onto his arm. After exchanging a few words of congratulations with Celina, Yvonne entered the hall. 

Carlisle remained at the doorway. When Yvonne passed by him, her eyes flickered, and she 

subconsciously bit her lip. However, she did not stop and went straight to the inner hall. 

Melanie followed them but was suddenly stopped by Carlisle. “Miss Smith.” 

Pausing, Melanie’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as she looked at Carlisle. 

Well–dressed and composed, Carlisle had a calm expression on his face as he handed her at business card. He said, “I heard that you’re in charge of Burning Star Studio’s business recently. I was planning to make time to visit the studio. Since you’re here, can we discuss it later?” 

Polite and gentle, the man’s tone was also soothing. Melanie accepted his business card and replied, “I’m sorry. I’m just accompanying Yvonne to attend the banquet today.” 

Since there was a history between Yvonne and Carlisle, Melanie did not want to have too much contact with him. Besides, knowing Xander’s personality, he probably would not work with him either. 

Carlisle was not embarrassed despite having been rejected. Instead, he just nodded. “It’s my lack of consideration.” 

Melanie did not say anything more and just turned around to go look for Yvonne. 

However, there were already many people in the inner hall, all gathered in groups of three or four. For a moment, Melanie could not see where Yvonne was.
