The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 542

Viciousness flashed across Xavier’s narrowed eyes. He turned his gaze to Xander and said arrogantly, “Back then, you boldly cut ties with the family, but now, you’re back. Did you come crawling back because you couldn’t survive on your own outside?”

Xavier turned red in the face. He glared at Xander and gritted his teeth. “Xander, don’t think you’re all that. Sooner or later, the family fortune will be mine!”

Melanie did not ask Xander a word about Xavier even after they left the hospital.

Xander was also silent. He did not seem keen to explain.
