Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Such Kindness, I Can’t Afford to Accept
"You’re helping me?" Scarlett Yates couldn’t help but laugh sarcastically, "Last time Young Master Saxon helped me, I ended up being inexplicably seen as a rival by a bunch of women. I can’t afford such kindness."
"Being seen as a rival by a bunch of women is better than being seen as an enemy by my ruthless stepmother. You should be glad she hasn’t had a chance to make a move, or you’d be dead without knowing how."
"Madam Saxon?" Scarlett was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "What does this have to do with her?"
Matthew Saxon rested his hands behind his head, "Although I don’t know how you know my half-brother, any woman daring enough to flirt with my brother doesn’t end well."
"When women get vicious, they’re more terrifying than a tiger dealing with its enemy."
Scarlett tried to explain, "There’s nothing between me and your brother. Even if Madam Saxon has suspicions, she should investigate first. Would she believe rumors without clarifying the truth?"
He slowly sat up, a mocking curve playing on his thin lips, "Better to err on the side of caution and eliminate a thousand wrongly than leave one unchecked; that’s her usual method. If you don’t believe it, you can try it."
The sunlight was blazing.
Though it was midsummer, Scarlett felt a chill down her back.
This elite family is indeed not something ordinary people can enter; it’s even more complicated than she imagined.
Scarlett was silent for a moment, then said seriously. "Young Master Saxon, I’ve thought about it seriously."
"Hmm?"
She was extremely sincere, her eyes even more genuine, "I believe Emmy Thompson is outstanding in both work capability and other aspects, far surpassing me. Someone of Young Master Saxon’s esteemed position should choose someone like Emmy who is competent to handle your daily affairs. I’m afraid my limited abilities would burden you and betray your trust."
He raised an eyebrow, noncommittally, "Oh?"
Scarlett’s words became even more earnest, "Emmy is beautiful inside and out—truly the perfect candidate."
The key is her devilish figure, her pretty face; exactly the type he likes. Seeing her every day would be pleasant, boosting his mood, and perhaps even hastening his recovery.
Scarlett felt she had thought of everything thoroughly. To provide him the best care, she didn’t hesitate to belittle herself. Her wholehearted planning for him even moved herself.
Matthew Saxon’s eyes held a trace of amusement, pondering for a moment before nodding, "You’re so dedicated to thinking for me, I hardly have a reason to refuse that kindness."
Joy flooded Scarlett’s eyes, her eyes brightened, "So, you agree?"
The Saxon Family really is a terrifying place; she just wants to leave immediately.
Those who fought tooth and nail to get in, do they know what kind of place they truly long for?
The brightness in her eyes was dazzling; after all, she’s still young, unable to hide her emotions, the joy in her eyes nearly spilling out.
Matthew Saxon stared at her for a moment, a trace of confusion flickering in his eyes.
She truly doesn’t want to be involved with the Saxon Family?
A voice in his heart told him she was pretending; just like those women around him, playing a trick to advance by retreating, a game of desire.
Once he starts believing her, he’ll be in the trap she’s set.
But the infectious joy in her eyes didn’t seem faked.
