Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 767: Did I Scare You?

"Of course I know." Maxwell Saxon curled his lips into a smile, reached out to ruffle her hair, and told her those words laced with blood and storm in the gentlest way, "Scarlett, you saw it during those days with the Saxon Family. No matter what I do, my biased father always favors Matthew the most. I’ve long seen my own position clearly; even if I gave him my heart, in the end, he’d still hand Saxon Enterprises over to Matthew."

"If I really do nothing and just naturally accept his arrangements, the future for my mom and I won’t be any better. From the very first day I entered the Saxon Family, Matthew has shown great hostility towards us, and this hostility has yet to change."

"If he becomes the head of Saxon Enterprises, who do you think he would deal with first?"

"Is it doing nothing and waiting to be slaughtered, or giving it your all for a chance, possibly carving out a path for survival? Faced with these two choices, if it were you, what would you choose?"

He wasn’t afraid to share his plans with her.

He wanted to make her his woman and wouldn’t hide anything from her; his secrets were hers to know.

Besides, even if he didn’t say anything, did his brother, who seemingly appeared idle and indifferent to everything, really know nothing at all?

He had watched Matthew Saxon for so many years, and although he hadn’t noticed anything amiss, he still didn’t believe Matthew was truly as he seemed — just a playboy who knew nothing but indulgence.

The fact that Matthew could rely on himself to get into a prestigious foreign university and excel in his studies suggests that he’s actually a very smart person.

Matthew Saxon also has a vast network of friends.

Across various fields, he knows almost everyone.

This can’t be underestimated.

At crucial moments, the friends he’s made can play significant roles.

Scarlett Yates remained silent.

If it were her, she would certainly choose the latter; even if giving it your all could fail, it’s much better than doing nothing, merely awaiting death.

With effort, there’s at least a sliver of hope, but without it, there’s no hope at all.

"You would choose to fight with all you’ve got, right?" Her silence was the best answer. Maxwell Saxon smiled in relief, letting out a soft sigh, "Did what I say scare you?"

Scarlett Yates was a bit surprised, but not because of Maxwell’s words, but that he would share something so secretive with her.

"You shouldn’t have told me these things." She was silent for a few seconds, frowning.

"I want to share my secrets with you." His words were laden with ambiguity.

Scarlett Yates awkwardly avoided his gaze, "I’ll pretend I never heard anything."

"I trust you."

"I should go now..." Scarlett Yates coughed twice uncomfortably, took a step back, and turned her head toward the door.

"No rush, I’ll take you after dinner." He also looked out the window and frowned, "It’s already very late. It’s not safe for you to go back alone. If you must leave, I have to take you back."

Scarlett Yates hadn’t planned to go back alone either.

It’s the middle of the night, there aren’t many people on the street, and it’s quite unsafe for a girl like her to go out hailing a cab.

Since Maxwell Saxon promised to take her back, she compromised a little, hesitated for a moment, and nodded, "Alright."
