The Unfaithful Mr. Scott ( Melanie Smith )
Chapter 701

Chapter 701

Viola leaned over to Harvey’s side and spoke cutely on purpose to say that to Melanie.

Harvey did not hesitate. He said, “Go and inform them or ask someone else to do it,”

A hint of smugness flashed across Viola’s face. Subconsciously, she turned around, wanting to see Melanie’s dejected and flustered expression.

However, when she turned around, Melanie had already left.

Melanie did not stay after Viola asked Harvey that question. Since she could not get things done through Harvey, wasting time on him would be unnecessary.

Yvette disliked Viola and complained, “He’s just a fool, being so close to that pretentious woman. Even Harvey is muddle–headed and lecherous, falling for a woman like her.”

Saying nothing, Melanie headed straight to Eric.

Fuller was also around. The event was ending, and the reputable people were invited to stay till the end of it.

As for Jackson, Melanie knew very little about him. She wanted to talk to Fuller about it.

Time flew, and it was soon evening. Viola occasionally tried to look for trouble, yet Melanie calmly avoided all conflicts.

When the event ended, Viola got up with a faint smile.

Whispering, she told Harvey something and lifted her head. Then, she announced to Melanie, Melanie, I’m afraid I have bad news to share. After consideration, we think Burning Star Studio is unqualified for the tender this time.”

She threw a document on the table. “Take your documents with you. Leaving them here will only occupy the space.”

The conference had just ended, and everyone was taking a break in their seats. Viola chose to announce it at this time because she wanted to embarrass Melanie.

Melanie glanced at her speechlessly.

Harvey, who was by Viola’s side, said sarcastically, “Miss Smith, it’s better not to waste both of our time. It’s pointless.”

Melanie heaved a deep breath. Harvey was doing this on purpose. He wanted to reject Burning Star Studio and humiliate them.

Xander’s words flashed through her mind. He said that Burning Star Studio had no conflict with Harvey.

Instead, Jackson had always been the one dealing with them. They seldom got in touch with Harvey.

What puzzled them was why someone they had no contact with would be so hostile toward them. That was strange!

The conference room was in an uproar after Harvey left. Their gazes were fixed on Melanie, and they felt sorry for her.

After all, this was the first studio that had been rejected by Redwaves bluntly.

Yvette and Eric hesitated before approaching. Eric scratched his head. “Don’t worry about it. Mr. Lowe would be back soon. Maybe you can approach him for help? He likes Xander and might be willing to lend a hand.”

“What are you talking about?” Yvette scoffed. She was straightforward and said, “Can’t you see Viola’s the one who instigated this?”

Melanie’s heart sank.

She was prepared to face Harvey but did not expect things to end up so miserable.

Fortunately, she was trained well in LeapCo to put on a straight face when facing a challenging situation.

After all, if Viola caught on to the slightest change in her expression, her humiliation might affect Burning Star Studio and Xander.

Melanie was feeling down. Yvette and Eric could see Melanie was in a bad mood and excused themselves.

“Melanie.” A deep voice called her name, snapping her out of her thoughts. She stopped and looked in the direction of the voice.
