Chapter 1556: Chapter 1556: No Hurting Yourself

In front of him, she was like a child going through a rebellious phase, always opposing him.

"You are the woman I like, and I won’t do anything to you." He pursed his lips, holding back his anger as he looked at her for a while, suddenly letting out a cold laugh, "But you know, I have my ways to make you obediently listen to me."

At this moment, Scarlett Yates was not afraid at all.

She fearlessly met Maxwell Saxon’s gaze, "If you dare to hurt him, I will harm myself."

She couldn’t be threatened by him forever.

She also wanted him to know that not only he could manipulate others.

Since he cared so much about that childhood memory, at least, he truly cared about her, right?

This tactic seemed to work, Maxwell Saxon’s face instantly turned ugly: "You are not allowed to do anything harmful to yourself."

"My body is my own, I’ll do whatever I want." She laughed coldly, looking at him mockingly, "If you have the ability, make me into someone paralyzed who can’t do anything."

"Scarlett!" He was truly angry now, the fire in his eyes burned so intensely that they turned red, reflecting his terrifying abyss-like dark pupils, as if to drag someone into that darkness and lock them up.

"Young Master."

At this moment, someone suddenly walked over.

That person looked at Scarlett Yates first, then called softly, "Young Master, there’s something important."

Maxwell Saxon slowly stood up.

That person stepped forward and whispered something in his ear.

Scarlett Yates saw a change in Maxwell Saxon’s expression, he seemed a bit surprised, but quickly returned to normal, even smiled, telling that person, "Don’t stop him."

"Young Master?" That person seemed quite surprised, showing an expression of astonishment.

"Do as I say." Maxwell Saxon didn’t offer further explanation, just gave a simple order.

That person seemed to disagree with his decision, showing a bit of concern in his eyes, but still obediently replied, "Yes."

After the person withdrew, Maxwell Saxon’s attention returned to Scarlett Yates.

He stretched out his hand again, bending slightly, maintaining a very elegant and gentlemanly posture: "Scarlett, how long do you plan to sit on the ground? Stand up, the ground is cold, be careful not to catch a cold."

Scarlett Yates looked at his hypocritical face, sneering, "Take back your insincere concern, I don’t need it."

"How could I be insincere with you? I genuinely like you and genuinely care about you."

"Don’t you find it disgusting to say such things?"

"Liking someone is not a disgusting thing, if you don’t get up, I will carry you up." He reached out his hand, making a gesture of wanting to carry her.

Scarlett Yates’ expression changed, quickly saying, "I’ll get up myself."

He immediately started laughing, "It would’ve been better if you did this earlier, you always like me to push you."

Scarlett Yates gritted her teeth, glaring at him.

How could there be someone so shameless and hateful?

Sitting on the ground for a long time, her legs felt a bit numb. As she just got up, she felt no strength in her legs, they went soft, and she started falling back down.

Maxwell Saxon took a step forward, reaching out to pull her, teasing her with a smile: "Still need me to carry you, why be so stubborn?"

Scarlett Yates didn’t want him to touch her at all, she would rather fall to the ground herself.

So, when Maxwell Saxon’s hand reached out to her, in the instant she was falling, she tried to take a step back, the result of which was her body completely lost balance, falling straight backwards.
