The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

The matter of Meredith could not be concealed. Even if Eugene kept it to himself, others who knew about it would talk. It was only a matter of time before it reached Cedric’s ears.

Eugene pondered for a moment with his eyes lowered, and Lee reminded him, “Mr. Scott, Mr. Hel will be here in a while.”

The internal strife within LeapCo had gradually heated up, and it was evident that the Hel family was siding with Eugene.

Lee had heard discussions among employees privately, saying they had only seen fights between brothers. This was their first time witnessing such intense conflict between father and son.

The situation with Eugene was truly more complex than sibling rivalry.

Few people knew about William’s status as Cedric’s illegitimate child. For a father to scheme against his legitimate son was even more heart–wrenching.

Moreover, Lee had seen that if it had not been for Eugene’s connections over the years, he would have been defeated by Cedric long ago. After all, both Cedric and William were ruthless and showed no

mercy.

It seemed like Cedric and Eugene were enemies rather than father and son.

In the evening, Melanie received a message from 2, whom she had not received messages from for a long time. It contained only two words. [Be careful.]

Melanie glanced at it and promptly deleted the message without replying.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Meredith had been very curious about everything lately. Yesterday afternoon, she was delighted to see children flying kites outside. Hence, Melanie and Xander took her out to fly kites early in the morning.

There was a large lawn near the villa area. Xander bought a kite shaped like a little carp. Melanie walked beside Meredith with the stroller.

Yvonne came, dressed in sportswear. “Darling, I’m good at flying kites. I promise to make the little carp fly high.”

Meredith did not understand but cheered. She smiled at Yvonne, who was utterly charmed.

It was the end of spring, and many people were flying kites. Meredith sat in the stroller, clapping her hands as she watched Yvonne’s little carp fly farther away.

Xander walked over. “Aren’t you going to play?”

Melanie shook her head. “Meredith is here.”

Xander asked, “Do I look like I’ll kidnap her? You’re supposed to spend time relaxing today.”

Since meeting Ovdhic yesterday, Melanie had been feeling down.

They both knew how much of an impact Cedric had on her.

Melanie had not slept well all night. Her mind was filled with all sorts of chaotic thoughts. She knew she could not keep allowing herself to be this tense. Otherwise, even before Cedric had made a move, she would have scared herself.

However, Koing kites was a physical activity. After playing with Yvonne for a while, her arms and neck felt sore

Yoone said, “I can’t go on anymore. Wait here. I’ll get the camera and take a photo. The kite finally flew so high

Melanie was alone, holding the kite string. The wind was good today, making the kite fly high, but she had to ensure it did not veer off course.

A warm hand covered the back of her hand, and Xander calmly took the kite string from her. “I’ll do

Melanie looked up slightly, and Xander looked at the kite in the sky. Even from this angle, he still looked good.

Wonme stood behind the camera and secretly took a photo. She could not help but marvel at how good -looking they were.

Then, she pushed Meredith over and smiled. “You two stay still. I’ll take a photo of you three. Say cheese!”

The laughter and chatter there was witnessed by the man in the Maybach outside.

Eugene looked expressionlessly at the figures on the lawn. They were laughing and joking, just like a family

Melanie and Xander were very close, with Xander carrying Meredith in his arms. The little girl was not shy, booking her arms around his neck with a happy expression.
