The problem here lies in the last two letters being checked.
It looks at the two e's and finishes the loop with Palindrome
being true.   You could have any word with the same two
letters in the middle, and this would still recognize it as a
palindrome.

One solution is just to assign the Palindrome true
when you declare it:

char Palindrome = 1;

and modify the while loop to look like this:

while ((Front < Back) && (Palindrome))

The while loop will then terminate since Palindrome isn't true
anymore, - and the rest of the code is still the same - which looks
correct to me.
