Chapter 801_The Unfaithful Mr. Scott ( Melanie Smith )

Eugene was gone when Yvonne came,

 She brought a takeaway box with food inside, “I cooked this ording to the instructions in the recipe book for you. Enjoy yourself! It breaks my heart to see you getting skinnier,” 

 Mnie did not have any appetite. Her eyelids were lowered, her eyes fixed on the phone screen.

 The news of the car crash had spread throughout her social circle. Although she did not have many friends, most of her clients sent her text messages expressing their concerns.

 ra’s message was among theirs.

 However, she had asked something strange: [I heard you made a police report?]

 Mnie did not answer that and’deleted ra’s text before turning her phone screen off.

 Xander reported it to the police for her on the day of the ident.

 It was a mere ident, but Mnie told the police about her medical report being amended on purpose. Someone had plotted against her so that she would abort the baby.

 Hence, she was not surprised to learn that the police had found out Cedric might be behind this.

 Cedric did not hide what he did. He might have thought dealing with Mnie would be simple, so he did not intend to do it discreetly.

 However, he had nothing to fear as the Scott family had the status and power to deal with such a

 small matter.

 “Don’t worry, Mrs. Scott. I’ve asked my mom’swyer. It’s a small matter,” Evelyn gentlyforted Ste in the Scott family’s living room.

 “Mnie will agree to close the case if we pay her enough.” 

 Ste’s expression was ugly. She scoffed and mmed her cup on the coffee table. “If only money could solve it! What worries me is that this woman might take advantage of the situation and pester

 Eugene again.”

 Her tone was heavy, </bpletely different from her usual arrogance and pride. 

 Evelyn pursed her lips and stopped saying anything. She sat quietly next to Ste, ying the role of a well–behaveddy.

 Ste was in a bad mood. However, when she looked at Evelyn beside her, she stillforted her by saying, “Don’t worry! Your marriage with Eugene is just a matter of time. No matter what, you’re the daughter–inw I’ve chosen.

 “As for Mnie, she was pregnant with some man’s child. If she dares to use it as an excuse to cling

 to Eugene, I’ll chase her away! Does she think anyone can get into the Scott family? I can’t stand a shameless woman like her!”

 Ste seemed to recall something, and her face was ashen.

 Eugene was at LeapCo’s branch office.

 He stood by the French windows. His recent weight loss made him look taller. The ck shirt entuated the boundless coldness emanating from him.

 The clouds outside were low, creating a sense of oppression.

 Lee stood behind Eugene, wanting to remind him a meeting was scheduled, but he dared not.

 He had been observing Eugene’s state in the past few days. During the day, he was at the </bpany, and as soon as it was time, he went to the hospital.

 His cold temperament had turned into loneliness, and his deep–set eyes looked more serious.

 The employees in thepany dared not speak loudly, fearing they might provoke him.

 The sudden ringtone of the phone interrupted Lee’s thoughts. Eugene answered the call and quickly hung up.

 Turning around, he looked at Lee. “Isn’t there a meeting in a while? Why didn’t you remind me?”

 Lee parted his lips, looking at Eugene’s bloodshot, deep–set eyes. He said nothing in the end.

 Then, he heard Eugene’s slightly hoarse voice. “Have you contacted the Hel family?”

 Lee was caught off guard and quickly reported all the information he got to Eugene.

 In fact, the Hel family and Eugene had been mutually restraining each other, waiting for either side to give in first.
