The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

He clicked his tongue and then glanced at Eugene’s hand that had been in his pocket the whole time. ” That scumbag, Timothy, sure ran fast. Can we now deal with your precious hand, the one that signs eight–figure contracts at the drop of a hat?”

Xander was not the only one injured; Eugene was also hurt. When Simon came over when he was done with his call, he saw the chaos. In the midst of it, some idiot decided to light up a sparkler,

In the confusion, it was about to be frown at Melanie. Fortunately, Eugene blocked him, but with so many people around, everyone’s attention was on Melanie and Xander. Nobody noticed him. Moreover, the idiot who was playing with the sparkler had picked a big one.

The burn on Eugene’s hand extended from his wrist to his palm. It had started to swell because he had not gotten it treated immediately. Simon took a photo of it with his phone, and Eugene looked at him coldly.

Simon explained, “Since you’re both injured like this, we should at least get some compensation for mental anguish, no?”

Xander needed to wait for the test results and for the doctor to give the green light before he could return to the villa.

The only ones who had come along were Melanie and Oliver, while Yvonne, Reny, and the others were

back in the villa.

When they returned, Merry was already asleep. Melanie felt relieved and went upstairs to wash up. When she was done, she saw Yvonne sitting on the bed and scrolling through her phone.

Seeing her approach, Yvonne handed her the phone. “Here, take a look.

“What is it?”

”

“Simon sent this to me. He said Eugene got injured. I think it’s a bit suspicious. When we left, he seemed perfectly fine, and there was no sign of injury whatsoever.”

“Simon is really annoying. He must’ve randomly found a photo online.” Yvonne then thought about it for a moment. “But why did he send me this photo? He’s not thinking of having me persuade Xander not to pursue this matter, right…”

Yvonne took a random guess at Simon’s purpose in sending her the photo.

Melanie looked at the photo, lost in thought. Yvonne was not aware, but the photo background was the clinic just now, and the color of the clothes matched Eugene’s. Moreover, when Eugene arrived just now, he did have his hand in his pocket.

After glancing at it for some time, Melanie withdrew her gaze. What did it matter if Eugene was injured? It was not her concern.

Just as she was about to look away from Yvonne, her phone rang. She checked it and saw a friend request. It was from a familiar gray silhouette profile picture. The only difference was that this time, the name was “2“.

Melanie did not respond. After sleeping for a while and then checking her phone again, she saw two more friend requests from “2“. The person seemed very persistent. Melanie accepted the request and

then went to eat.

Since Xander was injured, no one was interested in skiing anymore, so they stayed in the villa.

In the afternoon, the doorbell rang. When Melanie opened the door, she saw Simon standing there with a few other young men. He had his arm hooked around one of them, a guy with red hair and a rebellious look on his face. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“Melanie, Timothy said he feels guilty about what happened last night and came to apologize to you,” Simon said simply.

Timothy lifted his head up arrogantly, not even bothering to look at Melanie.

Simon paused and added, “Eugene told him to come.”
