The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 242 This Way, Lady!

It was a brief text, but Maia felt tears in her eyes after she read it. She had longed for him to care about

her this way in the past. The fact that he had shown up whenever she needed him was something she

had not even dared to dream of.

However, all of his actions today were pure irony to what happened in the past. She dared not go to the

balcony because she was worried that she would be found out like what happened last time. She was

not sure if he had left.

Did he leave? Was he still standing down there?

Some time had passed when her phone rang suddenly. Maia snapped out of her thoughts and looked

at her phone. She was both disappointed and relieved that it was not Cedric.

Buck was on the other end when she answered the call. “I investigated Victor according to the lead

Hope gave us. Aside from some erotic pictures, I came up empty–handed.

“I had to work another angle. I looked into the female celebrities who had fallen victim to him. My

findings confirm that Victor used to groom a girl group called Victorious Secret. They shot to fame for a

little while, but it only lasted two years before they were disbanded and faded into obscurity.”

“Victorious Secret?” Maia was a little familiar with this girl group. They had been famous for their

unique songs. They endorsed many brands and put out a lot of performances. However, they were

disbanded soon after their debut. No one had heard from them ever since.

It looked like there was a reason it happened. It was very likely they were put in cold storage.

“That’s right. I tracked down the leader of the troupe. She was selling alcohol in one of the nightclubs in

Prismara. She has a kid and that’s how she’s supporting her family. It’s not an easy life.



“She was exposed to the unspoken rules that were present in Mykonos Studio. I don’t think it’ll be easy

to convince her to testify against Victor.”

“Which nightclub is she working at?” Maia asked.

“It’s the first nightclub on Langford Street.”

“I’m headed there now.”

Buck was surprised, “Huh? Did you say you’re going there now, Ms. Maia?”

“You heard me.” With that, Maia hung up the phone. She picked up her car keys and went

downstairs. She opened the apartment door and made sure Cedric was not around. She lowered

gaze and let out a sigh of relief.

Then, she composed herself before driving to Langford Street. She had a more pressing matter to

handle once again.

The buzzing activities on Langford Street were a stark contrast to the dead silence in the rest of the

city. Different tones of colored lights illuminated the nightclub. The patrons were dancing wildly to the

music. The laughter, hollers, and shouts were deafening.

“Ms. Maia.”



She had just pulled over when Buck showed up at the entrance to the nightclub. Being a six- foot–two

man, it was very easy to spot him.

“Where iss she?”

“She’s on the first floor. She was doing well at sales so she got assigned to the VIP floor.” Maia nodded

and headed to the nightclub. She slipped past the crowd and ascended the glass staircase. She had

just taken a step on it when the bouncer approached her with a smile.

“I’ve never seen you before, miss. Is this your first time here?”

The bouncer who blocked her off was burly, but Maia paid him no attention. Instead, she took out a

wad of cash from her wallet.

“Is this enough?”

The bouncer’s eyes glinted the moment he saw it. Naturally, he stepped aside.

“Why, it’s more than enough. What business do you have on the first floor, I wonder? Fights are

forbidden around here, especially up there. Me and my pals are looking after the place. I hope you

won’t cause us any trouble.”

“I would’ve brought weapons with me if I wanted to fight. I’m just here looking for someone.”

He saw that she was unarmed. All she brought was a six–foot–two man. He nodded and smiled, “Is

that all? This way, lady. Just holler if you need anything. I’m always ready to make some extra cash.‘

Maia sneered. Everyone who worked in nightclubs was in it for money and nothing more!

She went upstairs. It was quieter compared to the ground floor, but the laughter and the shouting were

still endless here. This was the place where the rich guys hung out. It was supposedly the VIP floor, but

in truth it was no better than the ground floor.

A lot of them had pretty girls in their embrace, but they turned their gaze to Maia when she showed up.

Some of them even whistled.

“Howdy. I’m a regular here, but I’ve never seen anyone as tasty as you.” One of the guys pushed the

ladies next to him aside. He walked toward Maia with a glass in his hand and

“Care for a drink, hottie?”



Buck was about to intervene, but Maia signaled him to stand back. She took the glass from the man

and swirled the wine gently. Then, she poured all of its contents on the man’s face.

The man was a little tipsy earlier, but he was wide awake now Mala cut him off when he was about to

shout at her.

“I’ll have my men cut off your wiener tomorrow if you stand in my way!” She said this with a terrifying

tone, causing the man to shield the area between his legs. Then, he finally saw who she was when the

lights focused fully on her.

“M–Ms. Mala. I’m sorry to have offended you. I drank too much earlier. On top of that, the lights around

here aren’t exactly bright enough for me to tell who you are just now.

“I’d never think you’d come here, Ms. Maia. I’m sorry for how I acted. Here. I’ll drink three shots as a

way of paying respect to you!”

“That won’t be necessary. You’re the VIP here, Barney. Am I right in saying you’d know where this lady

is?” Maia took out her phone and showed him a picture swiftly.

He recognized her instantly, “She’s always around here. I saw her and bought drinks from her earlier.

I’m guessing she’s in the private room now.”

“Is she in today?”

“Sure. I bought the wine I offered to you from her. Her name’s Penelope. You’ll find her soon enough.

She’s really hustling. She has targets to hit every day.”

Maia did not want to waste another second with him after he gave her the information she needed. She

would go into the private rooms and look for her.
