The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

hapter 268 Melanie, LeapCo is having a team-building dinner tonight at Jepton Hotel,” Yana said. elanie lowered her gaze. “You guys have a good time. | won't be going.”

But Melanie, this is organized by the company, and it seems like the chairman and others will there.” Yana’s implication was clear. Melanie used to host Cedric Scott every time he came, they hoped she would come as well this time.

>wever, Melanie responded, “Mr. Scott told me not to go to the company until I’ve sorted it my family matters. Also, I’ve already resigned.”

ith the conversation reaching this point, Yana naturally did not press further and hung up e phone. Just as she hung up, a message popped up on her phone.

ilie asked me to call you just now. She was beside me.] elanie did not reply to the message. She just closed the door and left.

e went to Mrs. Zawn’s to order a takeaway portion of stew, intending to bring it back for ny and the others. While waiting for the stew, Melanie took out her phone and checked her end circle. She came across a photo posted by her grandfather's attending doctor.

oking at the picture, she paused for a moment before calling the doctor.

le call was answered promptly.

elanie’s voice was a bit shaky as she asked, “Dr. Wells, is the neurologist in the photo you sted Dr. Hel?”

>h, | almost forgot to tell you. Dr. Hel has a tight schedule tomorrow morning and might not ay at the hospital for long. But he should be free now. | can ask him for you,” Dr. Wells said.

f he has time, you can go look for him at Jepton Hotel.” le doctor’s words left Melanie a bit dazed.

e had met Dr. Hel before at Stella's birthday banquet several years ago. He was Stella’s other and Eugene’s uncle. She knew vaguely back then that he was a doctor, but she did not pect him to be a renowned neurologist.

elanie felt a dull ache in her chest. She felt as if her throat had been slashed with a knife, tting off her breathing.

rrying the packed fish stew, Melanie sat in the car for a while before stepping on the gas. le was supposed to turn left toward the villa but instead, she turned right toward Jepton otel.

:. Wells mentioned that Dr. Hel’s time was tight. He only had some free time this afternoon. elanie knew she could not delay her grandfather's illness.

iter arriving at Jepton Hotel, she went directly to the room number Dr. Wells had given her. iter knocking on the door for a long time, however, there was no answer.

elanie could only call Dr. Wells, and after circling for a few minutes, she found out that oward Hel was downstairs. He was having dinner with his family.

Who else was his family here apart from the Scotts?

After thanking Dr. Wells, Melanie stepped into the elevator with a blank expression. She pressed the button to go down to the third—floor lobby.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

The dinner event had already started. Melanie stood at the entrance for a while, trying to spot Howard's figure.

“Melanie?” An uncertain voice reached her ears. Melanie turned around and saw Viola dressed in a crisp white professional outfit, looking very competent.

Viola blinked at Melanie and smiled. “I thought you wouldn't come. It’s a bit of a pity since today is also a celebration for LeapCo.”

Melanie glanced at her. “I’m looking for someone. “Who are you looking for? Someone from the secretary's office?” Viola asked.

“But Melanie, you should actually be the star of the show today. The banquet today is, all, a celebration of the collaboration between LeapCo and Blue Inc,” Viola said somewhat regretfully.
