Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 778: The Bigger the Company, the More Ruthless It Is

If the girl were some sort of high-born lady, naturally it would be a matter of great joy for all, but if she were some insignificant character, then...

After worrying about one issue, May Denton began to fret over her future daughter-in-law.

"According to the latest reports, numerous food inspections under Newwell Enterprise of the Seymour Consortium have failed. Complaints from consumers have revealed that their milk, biscuits, and instant rice contain excessive carcinogens, with a long-term cancer risk as high as fifty percent."

"Now, there is strong public backlash, with organized groups staging protests, demanding relevant departments shut down Newwell Enterprise."

"Reporters are currently on the scene, and as you can see, the public reaction is intense, shouting slogans and branding Newwell Enterprise as a malignant tumor."

The large television in the hospital cafeteria was broadcasting a news report.

"Scarlett, this Seymour Consortium, that’s your ex-boyfriend’s company, right?" A nurse said as she carried her lunch box, eating and watching with great interest.

She commented while watching, "Truly heartless, adding so many carcinogens to the food. Seymour is such a big company, yet they commit such despicable acts to make money."

"The bigger the company, the more unscrupulous they are. People often say there’s no business without scheming. If all businessmen acted honestly and properly, how could they grow their companies so large?" Another nurse joined the commentary team. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

When Scarlett heard the word ’Seymour,’ she began to focus on the news.

After watching, she silently bowed her head and continued to tackle the braised ribs on her plate.

She couldn’t understand why, even though the chef hadn’t changed, the braised ribs seemed to taste worse and worse.

After a few bites, she really couldn’t eat anymore, wiped her mouth, and stood up, saying, "You all take your time eating, I’m going to wash the dishes."

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

During this month, Scarlett had not seen Matthew Saxon again.

Oh, that’s not entirely accurate; rather, she hadn’t seen him in person but frequently saw him in various gossip news.

He remained as always, the media’s favorite darling, constantly in the headlines.

Each time, it was related to women.

Today, he’s dining with a model, tomorrow he’s attending some banquet with a rising starlet, and the day after that, he’s at the concert of a pop diva, interacting intimately with the diva...

Such news could be seen every few days.

Scarlett felt this was good.

This is how the Second Young Master Saxon should live—free-spirited, indulgent, and unrestrained.

The Matthew Saxon she knew in the past was precisely such a person.

After they broke up, he returned to his old ways.

This kind of life must be what he truly desired, right?

But the funny thing is, seeing him with those women, even knowing it was all just playacting, she still felt sad.

She thought of those days in Z Country.

She remembered when he rescued her from the island, the image of the utterly despondent Matthew Saxon she saw upon opening her eyes.

She also recalled when her body hadn’t recovered, how he carried her to a restaurant and gifted her the wood carving she longed for.

And his confession, when he told her, "Scarlett Yates, I love you..."

Everything was so beautiful, like a dream.

But no matter how beautiful a dream is, it’s still just a dream; once you wake up, nothing remains.

She returned to reality once more.

In Scarlett Yates’ life, there was no longer a person named Matthew Saxon involved.
