The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 232 I Knew Him Well

Maia frowned at what Nigel had told her. She did not expect him to give her such shocking news, and she was too stunned to reach out for the envelope.

Nigel gently placed it next to her and continued, “You should look into it. I’m not trying to put the blame on Cedric, but I’ve spoken to one of the three artists. He looked really scared when I asked him who was behind this.

“He was afraid that this would endanger his family as well. As you very well know, if Cedric wanted to do something, there was no way that he would fail.”

“What was his motive?” Maia asked as she studied the contents inside the envelope Nigel had given her. When she saw a photo of a man, her frown deepened.

“Isn’t this Baz?”

“Maia, you know that Cedric would do something like this because of you. He wants you to take him back. What better way than to act like your white knight, protecting you from being bullied on the internet? He wants you to rely on him, and you did. You don’t hate him as much as you did before, right?”

Nigel continued, “It’s not that I’m trying to interfere, but I’ve seen how he treated you in the past. It’s fine if you don’t reciprocate my feelings. I just want you to be happy! But that can’t happen with him. You’ll only get hurt again.”

Maia just remained silent. There was so much evidence in the envelope, from screenshots of Baz’s messages to witness statements that claimed that Baz had been talking to the artist for a long time.

However, as Maia kept staring at the screenshots, she noticed that something did not add up. Maia chose not to voice her concerns and just said, “I’ll get Buck to look into these.”

“You don’t trust me?”

Maia shook her head. “That’s not it. I just don’t want anyone to be falsely accused. This doesn’t look like Cedric’s doing as he knows very well that if I find out, I’ll only hate him even
