The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Chapter 329 “The Curo family has been gaining momentum lately, it’s good to connect with them,” Simon said simply

Despite being an obvious scion who did not seem to be making much of himself, Simon titl had a large group of friends within his circle. This was mainly because his family was involved in the industry, so many people were eager to connect with them.

As a result, Simon had a wide network of contacts, and he attracted various types of friends.

Eugene nodded. The complexities of social interactions within their circle were not lost on bim. Although the Curo family was in the catering industry, there could still be benefits in getting to know them.

Simon noticed Eugene's receptiveness and teased, “I didn’t expect you to be so attentive this time that you’re even preparing for Viola’s birthday,”

Viola’s birthday party had been subtly mentioned in the group a few days ago, creating an air of anticipation,

Eugene did not argue, but his eyes carried a coldness. “LeapCo has been negotiating business with the Oskon City branch recently. The consul over there is playing some unconventional

cards.” “You mean Helios Group?” Simon raised an eyebrow.

“| heard that the Oalsa family has been having some troubles lately, probably internal strife, They got a new figurehead. That person is just trying to maintain appearances, but | bet he’s actually a useless burden. | reckon he’s not much different from me.*

Eugene glanced at him. “You seem to have a clear understanding of yourself.”

Simon did not mind the jab and casually continued, “So, are you planning to take advantage of this opportunity to deal with them... Heh.”

Simon stopped abruptly as he noted Stephen approaching His eyebrows twitched slightly, and he changed the topic smoothly. “Long time no see,”

Stephen and Simon’s relationship was still fine. When Stephen heard Simon's greeting, Stephen nodded politely. “What a coincidence.”

It was clear that this statement was directed at Simon. When Stephen looked at Eugene, there was a subtle hint of coldness in his gaze,

Simon smiled and suggested, “How about having a meal together someday?”

Stephen casually agreed, but his phone kept ringing, indicating that he might be expecting something urgent. Simon did not delay him and led Eugene inside to greet Mario before taking their designated seats.

Stephen had just answered the call, and the displeasure on his face from the encounter with Eugene seemingly dissipated. “I’m waiting for you at the entrance,” he said warmly.

Melanie and Xander approached them.

“Why didn’t you come together?” Stephen asked.

“We had something to attend to today,” Melanie replied briefly, Stephen did not press further

at the answer.

Their dinner today was meant for the three of them to just chat casually among themselves.” This is a newly opened restaurant of a friend of mine. The flavors of the food here are relatively light.”

Melanie was silent while Xander muttered impatiently, “It seems you've been pretending to be an old lady in Niere City for too long. Why do you talk so much?”

Stephen's expression stiffened slightly, and he warned Xander with a glance. Melanie did not notice them exchanging looks as she was engrossed in something on her phone. It was some information Reny had sent to the group.

The meeting today revolved around negotiations between the two parties. WhileContent © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Dreamcatchers offered many benefits, Xander’s side possessed strong creativity. Both sides. had their own advantages, leading to a tug-of-war.

“Mel, is having dinner with me so boring that you keep staring at your phone?” Stephen tapped the table with his fingers.

Melanie snapped out of her stupor and put away her phone. “I’ve been so busy with family matters lately that I've neglected work a bit. | was trying to catch up a little since | have some time now.”

Stephen glanced at Xander with a playful look in his eyes. He was about to say something when he heard Melanie say again, “I had to trouble Xander to take care of things during this period. Dinner is on me today.’

Xander was about to pick up his glass when his movement paused for a moment. He looked at Melanie thoughtfully but quickly averted his gaze.
