The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 698

The sky darkened. After Viola got out of the car, the smell of her sweet perfume lingered in the car.

Matthew frowned. He pulled out a disinfectant tissue from the glove box and wiped his fingers carefully. He did not stop until he had thoroughly cleaned all ten fingers, then he got out of the car expressionlessly and threw the tissue into the trash can.

After that, he did not get into the car again. He leaned against the Rolls–Royce and counted down inwardly.

When his count reached one hundred, his phone rang. Matthew was not surprised. A glance at the time told him it was exactly six o’clock.

He waited for three rings before answering the call unhurriedly. Howard’s impatient voice came from the other end. “Why haven’t you transferred the money yet this month?

“Matthew, I’m warning you. Don’t make me tell the Qaisas what kind of person your mother is! If word gets out, that Qaisa heiress would dump a bastard like you in a heartbeat!”

Matthew’s gaze did not waver at all as he listened to his father’s verbal abuse. He waited for Howard to stop ranting before he said, “What’s wrong? Didn’t you get the money from your precious daughter? Why are you asking a bastard like me for money instead?”

There was a moment of silence, followed by another torrent of violent abuse.

Matthew opened the car door and threw his phone inside. Then, he locked the car and continued playing with his lighter outside.

Nicole had given him the lighter when he was learning how to smoke.

Melanie walked a distance away from the conference room before returning the milk tea to Hugh. “I can’t drink milk tea right now because of the pregnancy, but thank you.”

Hugh lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment. “Shall I buy you a thermos tomorrow instead?”

“You don’t have to give me anything.” She could not imagine Hugh picking her up with a thermos.

Melanie was too busy putting together the files that night to have dinner with Hugh. She had just returned to her room when she got a call from Xander.
