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.

Melanie felt a little embarrassed by his stare and had no idea what to do. She could only just stand where she was.

She felt nervous for some reason. She did not feel this way even when Yvonne saw her predicament at the hotel.

However, when Xander looked at her, she felt her heart thump wildly.

It felt like he had seen through her lie.

Xander’s gaze never left her, and Melanie continued to avoid looking into his eyes.

Reny thought Melanie must be too embarrassed to tell them what happened, so she angrily told them what Melanie had said happened.

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.
