The Unfaithful Mr. Scott ( Melanie Smith )
Chapter 311
Dylan pounced on Peachie, protecting her in her embrace. However, George still kicked her mercilessly on her arm.
Dylan screamed in a hoarse voice, yet George cursed her, âUseless woman! How dare you come back! I told you to get the money from that bastard, yet you couldnât even get a few hundred thousand dollars from her.
âTell me! Are you doing this on purpose so that theyâll kill me?â
He cursed as he unbuckled his belt and whipped Dylanâs back.
There was a loud and crisp smack. The manâs continuous humiliation and curses resounded in the house.
âLet me remind you of one thing. Youâll have to suffer when I suffer. Iâll sell this little bitch abroad and make her some manâs mistress if you donât get me what I want.â
Dylan hugged Peachie and cried. In the end, the beating stopped because George was tired. He fell onto a chair and scratched his face in frustration.
Then, he kicked Dylan as he said in a deep and cold voice, âIâm not kidding. I owe them an amount of money. If I donât clear my debt, weâll all die!â
Dylan was startled and looked at him in disbelief. âWhat do you mean?â
âWhat do I mean? What could I mean? I borrowed money from loan sharks.â
George did not seem to realize his mistake. âYour heartless daughter refuses to help me, so I could only think of something to help myself.â
Dylan understood the situation they were in now. She hugged Peachie and sat there in a daze as tears flowed down her cheeks.
Melanie knew nothing about what happened in Hearth City.
She went with Xander to meet Quentin.
They had arranged to meet him in a café in the city center. He came with Lisa.
Lisa was not surprised to see Melanie and greeted her with a smile.
Quentin stretched out his hand and pretended to be polite, yet his eyes regarded Melanie. â Melanie, Iâm happy weâll be working together again.â
Melanie did not shake his hand. She did not want to have any skin contact with Quentin.
Xander pushed Quentinâs hand away and said calmly, âMr. Emerson, letâs talk about business and forgo the greetings.â
Quentin looked at Melanie, feeling pity for his missed chance. Even so, he quickly hid his lustful expression. Grinning, he said, âYou both know about the agreement between Vanke Group and Dreamcatchers. So, Iâm meeting you to discuss the cooperation.
âWeâre businessmen. We donât need to make things difficult and ruin our relationship.â
Xander lifted his eyes slightly. He looked cold and distant when he said nothing.

He stared at Quentin indifferently. âMr. Emerson, do you mean if we choose not to cooperate, youâll make things difficult for us?â
Quentin was still calm. âWhy would you think so?â
Xander scoffed. âMr. Emerson, youâre indeed good at threatening others.â
Quentin smiled and looked at Melanie. He said, âMelanie has once worked in LeapCo. Iâm sure she knows what I mean.â
His tone sounded a little weird. Melanie even felt a little disgusted upon hearing him speak.
It was different from being nauseous. Melanie felt as if she had seen something dirty that disgusted her.
However, she still suppressed her discomfort as she looked at Quentin expressionlessly. âLet me be frank. We canât accept the cooperation terms you suggested.
âWe did everything, including the proposal and idea. Meanwhile, Dreamcatchers is trying to take away the result of our hard work with other companies.â
