Chapter 520
Melanie listened on the side, watching as Eugene’s car headed toward the direction of the Scott family’s old mansion. She furrowed her brows and said, “I’ll get off at the intersection ahead.”
The villa was not far from here, and it would only take about ten minutes to get there in a taxi.
She was more than willing to send Henry back first before she was dropped off. However, it seemed now that she had to make a detour to Cedric’s place. Melanie was not particularly eager to go there. It would be better if she, Cedric, and Stella did not see each other.
She glanced at Eugene through the rearview mirror, but he did not stop the car. Instead, he turned at the upcoming intersection smoothly. Melanie recognized the route. He was taking her back to the villa area.
“I’ll get off at the intersection and take a taxi from there,” Melanie’s voice was soft as she said to Eugene.
Eugene just continued driving coldly and indifferently. “Do you think Grandpa will let you get off here?”
There was a new trace of mockery to his tone as he said, “There’s no need for the unnecessary.

The scent inside the car was like the clean and cold fragrance that usually lingered on Eugene.
“Evelyn is still waiting for you. There’s no need to waste time,” she replied calmly.
Eugene seemed to pause, but before he could say anything, Henry reprimanded with displeasure, “Do you hear yourself? Mel came out specifically to accompany me. I asked you to take her home but you sound so unwilling?
“If you can’t phrase things nicely, then don’t bother!” Henry’s intervention wisely kept Eugene from saying more. They kept silent as Eugene drove them to the villa.
Right after Melanie got out of the car and took a few steps, Eugene stepped on the gas in a seemingly impatient manner.

Melanie lowered her head and entered the villa through the light rain.
In the car, Henry frowned disapprovingly at Eugene as he asked, “Why are you driving so fast?

Eugene handed his phone to him without a word, his voice filled with suppressed annoyance. ” Calls from your son and LeapCo.”
On Eugene’s phone screen, there were three missed calls from Cedric. There was a call almost every five minutes. One or two of them were from Stella too.
Henry held the phone silently for a moment and then looked at Eugene with a stern expression. “Your parents are causing trouble and you want to join in the chaos? I’ve told you countless times that their methods are unacceptable.”
As most of the light from the street lamps outside was blocked from entering the inside of the car, Eugene’s face was shrouded in darkness. He chuckled self-mockingly and replied, “Do you think I have a choice?”

The old man fell into quiet contemplation for a moment before snorting coldly, “You’ve schemed against me before and you’re telling me now that you have no choice?”
Having expérienced most of his life, Henry found it suspicious when Eugene suddenly called to pick him up for no apparent reason. He thought back to him putting the call on speakerphone just now and felt that it had been intentionally done so that he would hear it.
Eugene did not refute the man’s words. He simply drove the car calmly to the mansion. The lights were on at the Scott family’s mansion.
As soon as Eugene entered the residence, Cedric’s stern questioning descended upon him. ” Why are you back only now? Evelyn just left. Eugene, did you do this on purpose?”
“I’m telling you, whether you like it or not, you have to be with Evelyn. This is my order to you. It’s not up to you to decide!”
Cedric glared at Eugene sharply. “You’ve played enough. Don’t forget that you agreed to it back then. It’s time to come to your senses now!”
