The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Only Stella reacted, rushing toward Cedric like a mad woman. She grabbed a teacup from the coffee table and threw it, regardless of whether there was tea inside.

The living room was chaotic, with Stella’s screams and curses incessant. Outsiders would find this current situation hard to believe as the Scott couple was always known for their courteous

behavior.

In what seemed like a moment, Henry appeared to age ten years. His face showed visible fatigue and decline as he looked at Landon, his voice filled with weariness. “Forget it. Take me

back.”

Landon agreed and quickly escorted Henry away. Henry paused when he passed by Eugene. He was trembling. “Eugene, you leave too. This is their affair. It has nothing to do with you.”

Eugene nodded. His face showed no emotions.

He helped Henry as they left. He did not even glance back at Stella and Cedric.

News of the rift between Stella and Cedric quickly reached Melanie. It was Yvonne who told her.

Yvonne sighed. “My mom’s gossip circle is already spreading the news. I heard it got intense. Stella cracked a big hole in Mr. Scott’s head.”

“I thought with things getting this bad, they’d divorce. However, Stella is adamant about not divorcing. I’m a bit puzzled about what she wants.

“To have her husband and his lover’s illegitimate child mistreat her and still not divorce, is she putting on an act?”

Melanie was sorting Meredith’s clothes and was not bothered to lift her head. “It’s probably not that she doesn’t want to divorce but that she can’t.”

“William is an adult now, which proves that Cedric has had someone outside for a long time. Stella is too intelligent not to have noticed.

“Considering William’s similar age to Eugene, Stella has put up with Cedric for many years. According to Stella’s personality, she’ll absolutely refuse to divorce.”

The reasons behind it were apparent. The Hel family and the Scott family were originally in an

alliance. Cedric leveraged the Hel family’s influence to help LeapCo rise.

Moreover, the Hel family undoubtedly needed to rely on the benefits brought by the Scott family.

It could only be said that marriages among the wealthy were always based on interests.

Yvonne sighed. “I understand the reasoning, but the more I think about it, the more frustrated I feel. That’s why I’d rather focus on my career in the company than engage in arranged marriages.

She was serious about what she said, mainly because her current potential suitors were all less than ideal. She was annoyed enough just by looking at them. If she had to enter an arranged marriage, she did not think she could be noble enough to handle it..

The affairs of the Scott family spread like a farce. It was quickly known everywhere.

However, thanks to Stella’s outburst, Cedric could not find trouble for Melanie temporarily.

Taking advantage of this time window, Melanie packed up and prepared to leave.

The tickets to go abroad were already booked. Melanie planned to look at the old house in the next few days.

Xander had already returned to Nava, and the pressure there was quite high. Melanie could only bring Meredith along.

Just as she entered the neighborhood gate, she ran into a neighbor, who looked surprised to see her. “Oh, Melanie! When did you come back?”

Melanie replied, “I just got back.”

“Young people are always busy, but luckily, you didn’t sell the house. It’s always good to have your roots. If you want to live here again, you can still do so.”

Melanie hesitated. “I probably won’t be able to live here anymore. I’ve rented out the house.”

“Oh, right.” The neighbor tapped her forehead. “It was rented out? I thought it was your relative temporarily staying there. After all, he’s not always there. He’s a handsome man with few words. He looks lonely.”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
