The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 531

Melanie looked away slightly and avoided Xander’s eyes. She replied, “I just came back.”

Xander stared thoughtfully at the scarf around her neck. She wondered what he was thinking about.

It felt like he had seen through her lie.

At the end, she added, “Bruce should’ve been smarter about this. Doesn’t he know how bad Mason Gray’s reputation is? Why did he even invite that man to join the dinner?”

Oliver reacted just as angrily as Reny. He was shocked but became furious later. He kept insisting on calling Bruce to talk about this.
