The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 155

1/2

Melanie felt a little helpless.

Eugene seemed to be less irritated now. He asked her, “Why? Are you here to borrow money for your

mother?”

His tone sounded sarcastic, but Melanie felt better. At least, she knew Euegne did not lend her mother

any money.

She felt calmer and said, “Don’t lend her any money.”

Taken aback, he scoffed. “Aren’t you always generous and filial?”

Melanie huffed, and her voice was soft when she said, “Anyway, I hope you won’t lend her any money.”

She did not want to call Dylan.

Hearing her voice made her feel disappointment and despair.

Thus, she could only ask Eugene.

Eugene did not seem to care. All he gave was a snort and nothing more.

However, when Melanie was about to hang up the call, he suddenly mentioned, “Have you forgotten

George is about to be released?”

Melanie’s forehead creased.

There were too many things going on these days, and she had forgotten about George.

She recalled George behaving like a thug and hitting others at the hospital entrance that day. If he got

out… Melanie tried to remain calm. “They’ll call the police.”

Eugene asked, “Do you think your mother will call the police?”

Melanie knew Dylan would not without even needing to think.

Dylan would be reluctant to get George imprisoned, so she would not call the police.

Melanie had first thought Dylan would be strong as a mother because Peachie was still young. She

might not tolerate George’s act, even if it was just for Peachie’s sake.

However, Melanie realized yesterday she had been wrong.

Eugene seemed to be busy. He sounded cold again when he said, “Bye.”

Melanie stood there with her phone in her hand and a frown on her face.

Eugene saw Theodore’s message on the screen just as he hung up Melanie’s call. It was a short

message.

Eugene glanced at it before he exited the chat box and saw Viola’s message.

He tapped into the notification, only to see the photo Viola sent him.

The background of the photo was obvious. He could see where it was taken without even Viola telling

him.

Squinting his eyes, he stared at the photo expressionlessly.

After exiting the chat box, he returned his phone to his pocket.

Then, he walked out.

Melanie had to work that afternoon. She organized the documents and listened to Xander and the

others discussing the lighting.

Oliver noticed Melanie was focusing on her work. “Mel, why don’t you join our discussion? It isn’t nice

to keep your head lowered and bury yourself in your work.”

Melanie’s mind was in a mess, but she would not bring emotions to the workplace.

She shook her head. “I have a bit more left to work on.”

However, Xander said, “Since only a bit is left, you can continue later. Haven’t you always wanted to

learn how to plan events?”

Melanie felt bad about rejecting them again. She stood up and sat by the coffee table.

Xander looked at her. “You can ask whatever you don’t understand.”

Melanie nodded and thought for a moment before asking, “You guys even know how to plan the

electrical route?”

“In an exhibition, lighting plays an important role. It provides the atmosphere, emotions, and the

meaning behind the artwork. Xander explained to her and took a few sheets of draft paper on the table

as he pointed.

“For example, the moving lighting should be placed at the center of the exhibition.”

Melanie understood what he meant and listened to the other plans they had discussed until they

reached the topic of the exhibition’s theme.

Suddenly, Oliver asked Melanie, “Melanie, which company are you working for?”
