Chapter 674_The Unfaithful Mr. Scott ( Melanie Smith )

Chapter 674 

 Mnie snapped back to her senses. “Sorry, I was on a call.” 

 On the way to the studio with Eric, Mnie put aside the matter regarding Matthew in the meantime. What she needed to focus on the most at the moment was handling Redwaves. With one thing happening one after another, she could only proceed step by step. 

 The item that Fuller wanted to give her turned out to be a new set of materials, which could be used for nning new strategies for Redwaves.

 Mnte thanked him, but Fuller waved it off. “I consider Xander my student. Burning Star Studio hase this far under my guidance. This is nothing.” 

 Mnie lowered her gaze and replied, “I’ll convey your kindness to Xander.”

 Fuller looked at her, a gentle smile on his face. “You must’ve been scared when the power went out suddenlyst time, right?” 

 Mnie’s eyes widened in surprise. Fuller had never mentioned the power outage incident before, and it was always Eric who dealt with it. Now, he was bringing it up out of the blue.

 She looked at the man whose expression remained unchanged. He said, “Luckily, nothing happened to you at the time. If you had stumbled or hit something, Xander would demand an exnation from me.”

 Mnie smiled politely and bade farewell before leaving.

 Eric initially wanted to apany her, but Mnie declined. However, just as she stepped out, she saw Mrs. Lyney sitting in the corridor, shelling peanuts.

 The old woman’s actions paused when she saw Mnie. She reached into her basket and grabbed a handful of peanuts to offer to Mnie. “Here, have some.” 

 Mnie hesitated for a moment as she looked at the peanuts. Then, she crouched down in front of her and tasted one. It was slightly sweet.

 Flora Lyney had a kindly face, and despite her old age, she spoke clearly and coherently. She asked Mnie, “Why have you </be back again?”

 Mnie paused. “Have you seen mee here before?” 

 The woman nodded slowly and replied leisurely, “Of course. I see everything that goes on here every day. I sit here every day.”

 Mnie’s gaze sharpened as she carefully asked, “Do you remember the power outage that happened before?”

 “There was no power outage,” Mrs. Lyney replied, looking a bit puzzled as she gazed at Mnie.

 Mnie furrowed her brows, trying to be more specific. “It happened the first time I came here, and

 Eric had someonee to fix it,” she said slowly all while observing the woman’s reaction.

 There was initially confusion on her wrinkled face, but then Mrs. Lyney recalled something and shook her head. “There was no power outage. Martle checks the circuits every month, so there shouldn’t be any outages.”

 The old woman’s brows furrowed in realization when she noticed Mnie’s disagreement with her statement. “That day, it was Fuller who turned off the power himself. I asked him why and he said he needed to conduct an experiment.” 

 She then grabbed some peanuts from her basket and showed them to Mnie. “These were grown by Fuller’s wife. They taste okay. I just sit here for some enjoyment.”

 Mnie paid no heed to the woman’ster words as she looked toward the direction of theb, feeling a bit unsettled.

 Was it Fuller who turned off the power? Lee had been downstairs the whole time and only saw Fuller going downstairs, which made sense.

 With various thoughts swirling in her mind, Mnie returned to the hotel. She wanted to talk to Eugene about this discovery. However, the moment she stepped out of the taxi, she saw Howard pacing in front of the hotel.

 As if sensing her presence, he looked up, and his eyes lit up. “Mel, you’re finally back!”
