The Unfaithful Mr. Scott ( Melanie Smith )
Chapter 485

Chapter 485 

Eugene arrived very quickly. There were some water drops on his shoulder, showing how heavy the rain was. 

Carla smiled and waved him over. “Have you eaten? Join us if you haven’t.” 

Eugene looked down for a while, and his dark eyes swept over Melanie. Melanie was looking stoically at the rain from the window. 

The rain had fallen suddenly, and it had gotten heavier than before Eugene had arrived. It looked like it would only get worse. 

It was difficult to get a taxi in this weather. Xander and Yvonne had been stopping her from driving due to the injury on her shoulder. 

She came here by taxi today too. 

Even if she had driven here, it would be quite troublesome to drive back. Her eyesight was not great in the dark, and it would be quite dangerous for her. 

Melanie hesitated. If it was inconvenient to go home tonight, she might just get a room in a nearby hotel. 

Stella’s shrill voice snapped Melanie out of her thoughts. “Why would he be eating? Is he here to pick you up or have dinner?” 

Carla reminded her in a low voice, “Watch what you’re saying, Stella.” 

Stella replied brusquely, “You always want to be the nice one, and here you are, creating an opportunity for some people. Can’t you see that a certain someone is refusing to leave right now?” 

She might as well have said that it was Melanie. 

Melanie was unperturbed. Stella made it sound like she was harassing Eugene. 

Was Stella just used to being mean to her? 

Melanie’s voice was cool. “Why don’t you like Viola Shaw, Mrs. Scott? I think both of you 

share the same talking style. You should have a lot in common. 

“What do you mean?” Stella asked in a low, angry tone. 

Melanie used to be very respectful of her. Whenever Stella got mad, Melanie would immediately swallow her pride and cajole her. 

However, Melanie now had nothing to do with Stella. 

Stella would always act arrogantly every time she saw Melanie. It was as if Melanie was still the same person that she could still keep under her control. 

She was used to ordering Melanie around. At this moment, Melanie’s tone was casual, and there was a cold look in her pretty eyes. “Can’t you tell what I’m trying to say, Mrs. Scott? You and Viola Shaw enjoy speaking sarcastically. You’re probably meant to be family. Mr. Scott has found you a very suitable daughter–in–law.” 

Melanie’s words had insulted not only Stella but also Eugene and Viola. 

Stella’s chest heaved heavily. It was easy to see that she was furious. She pointed at Melanie.” How dare you speak to me this way?”

“I think you’ve forgotten that I’m not the one that you should be ordering around. It’s Viola Shaw.” 

Melanie felt someone shoot a cold look at her. 

She did not avoid it and stared straight at Eugene. 

Eugene’s deep eyes looked dark, and there was a frosty look on his handsome face. He was staring at Melanie. 

Melanie’s eyelashes fluttered. She endured Eugene’s gaze and asked, “Am I wrong?”

Eugene pressed his lips tight. There was a taunting look on Melanie’s face. She did not say anything wrong. Everything she said was true. 

Carla did not expect Melanie to suddenly retort that way. She was silent for a while before trying to smooth things over. “I think it’ll rain for quite a while. Don’t listen to your mom, Eugene. Stay here for a meal if you haven’t eaten.” 

Eugene’s tone was cold. “I still have work to do after taking you home.” 

Carla realized something. “LeapCo has been busy dealing with the Qaisas. It’s my fault for getting you here.” 

All Eugene replied was, “I’ll take you home.” 

The water droplets on him had now turned into wet patches on his shoulder. 

He was standing between Melanie and Carla, and Melanie could clearly sense the coldness emanating from him.
