The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Eugene remained silent for a while and then heard Simon ask again, “We’re skiing in Nava for Christmas. Are you coming? I remember LeapCo has a project in Nava, When do you plan to go for inspection?

“Mr. Scott and William have been quite active lately. You’ve been holding back for so long for this final move, haven’t you? I heard you just snatched a big project from William. Aren’t you considering attacking again?”

Eugene did not know Simon could be so chatty. Feeling annoyed, he hung up directly.

A few days later, Melanie received a friend request from an unfamiliar person on Facebook.

Lately, matchmaking had been trending in the circle in Nava, with several men introducing themselves to her.

Due to various considerations, she could not refuse and assumed this stranger was introduced by one of those ladies.

She accepted the request, but the person never sent a message. The profile picture was a gray silhouette of a default account. The name was simply a single digit-“1“.

Since the person did not initiate a conversation, Melanie did not bother either. She was busy with her affairs and soon forgot about it.

Yvonne arrived in Nave on the 19th. She took early leave for Christmas, coming to help care for

Meredith while waiting for Xander and the others to arrive for the Christmas celebration.

Meredith was familiar with Yvonne and did not cry or fuss when held by her.

Melanie touched Meredith’s face, feeling a bit reluctant. “I’ll be back in a few days.”

Meredith just smiled.

Upon reaching Oskon City, Melanie went directly to Matthew. Matthew’s methods were ruthless, and he had almost taken control of the entire Qaisa Group.

“Not bad, even better than I expected.” Matthew praised, looking through the reports. “It seems you deserve my reward.”

Melanie asked, “What reward?”

“You’ll find out later,” Matthew said cryptically. He stood up, put on his coat, and handed her an invitation. “It’s a Christmas party. Remember to attend.”

Melanie spent two days in Oskon City, and Matthew did not contact her again. With nothing else to do, she decided to take a stroll outside.

As Christmas approached, the atmosphere on the streets was festive. She casually took a photo of a Christmas tree and posted it on her Facebook. Many people liked it, including the account that went by the name 1.

Melanie should have paid more attention. She soon received a message.

Melanie frowned slightly, recalling that this person might be introduced by one of the ladies. However, since they had not spoken, the abrupt message felt impolite. She chose not to respond.

Matthew suggested sending someone to drive her to the party, but Melanie rejected it.

She had told Yvonne about this two days ago, and Yvonne mentioned that her friend was also coincidentally attending the party, so Melanie could go with him.

Compared to Matthew, Melanie naturally preferred going with Yvonne’s friend. She had assumed it was a woman, but to her surprise, it turned out to be a man. He was handsome and refined.

Despite feeling awkward, Melanie had no choice but to accept the arrangement and get into the car.

When they arrived at the venue, they realized it was raining outside. Melanie’s long dress was a bit inconvenient, so the considerate man got out of the car, opened an umbrella, and politely offered her his hand. “Come on, I’ll hold the umbrella so that you won’t get wet.”

Melanie’s attire was indeed inconvenient. She thanked him softly and took his hand to get out of the

car.

Behind them, a black Lincoln happened to drive by.
