The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 673

Melanie did not stay outside for long. Eugene mentioned that Matthew was a highly alert individual and that they could barely find any information about him.

However, even with just this bit they managed to glean, Melanie was able to speculate some things- such as the low–key relationship between Matthew and Howard. She did not reveal any of her thoughts to the man, though. She figured he did not need any reminders from her.

When Melanie made her way back to the meeting room, she saw Viola at the door and hesitated slightly. She could not be wearing a pleasant expression on her face when facing Viola.

Still, Viola stopped her. “Burning Star Studio won’t stand a chance,” she said, her voice quiet but firm.

The mild winter sunlight cast no harsh shadows, but it made Viola’s already pale complexion appear even paler. Her lips seemed to lack color even more despite the lipstick she wore. Exhaustion was evident in her eyes.

Melanie glanced at Viola’s tidier–than–usual attire, a hint of fleeting mockery flickering in her eyes. She did not scrutinize for too long, but Viola’s heart still skipped a beat under her gaze.

Still, she remained proud with her chin held high as she issued her ultimatum to Melanie. “If you have any self–awareness left, you’ll know that Burning Star Studio will never appear on Redwaves‘ list, not with me around.”

With that, she turned and left triumphantly. The sound of her high heels echoed in the hallway.
