The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 571

Cedric was furious. On the other hand, Eugene calmly just said, “Understood,” before hanging up the phone. Henry raised a brow and asked, “Your father?” Eugene was noncommittal and the old man snorted, “He sure knows how to put on airs, he thinks I’m already dead.”
