Chapter 1557: What? You Came Alone?

Chapter 1557: Chapter 1557: What? You Came Alone?

She simply closed her eyes, waiting for the pain of hitting the ground to come.

But...

She didn’t fall to the ground, instead she fell into a familiar embrace.

A pair of strong, long arms wrapped tightly around her waist, lifting her upwards. In shock, she fell into the arms of the person who caught her.

The familiar scent of musk wafted into her nose, a light fragrance that nevertheless invigorated her entirely.

In an instant, her face changed dramatically, her eyes widened, and she lifted her head in utter astonishment.

The first thing she saw was a smooth, beautiful jawline, then a pale yet extraordinarily handsome face.

Scarlett Yates stared at the person holding her, too shocked to utter a single word.

How could he be here! How could he have come here!

But what shocked her even more, what sent a chill through her entire body, were the four guns aimed at Matthew Saxon’s forehead.

The dark barrels of the guns, seemingly emanating the breath of death, instilled a deep fear from the bottom of her heart when aimed at anyone.

Scarlett Yates almost screamed.

Matthew Saxon also held a gun in his hand, its barrel pointed directly at Maxwell Saxon’s temple. With a click, she heard the sound of a bullet being chambered.

The sound came from the gun in Matthew Saxon’s hand.

His finger rested on the trigger; just a press downward would blow a hole in Maxwell Saxon’s head.

At the same time, the four guns aimed at his forehead also made a sound, likewise poised to leave four holes in his head should he dare to move carelessly.

Scarlett Yates, her face a ghastly white with fear, turned her head and shouted at Maxwell Saxon, "Tell your men to put down their guns."

Maxwell Saxon curled his lips into a slight smile, looking at her with a calm expression, "Scarlett, didn’t you see his gun is also aimed at me?"

She saw it, of course she saw it.

At this moment, Scarlett Yates’s mind was in a daze.

How could Matthew Saxon appear here?

Wasn’t he supposed to be in the hospital?

Moreover, since this was Maxwell Saxon’s place, it must have been guarded by his people inside and out, so how could Matthew Saxon have come in so smoothly?

She hadn’t even heard any sounds of fighting.

If Matthew Saxon’s people had fought with Maxwell Saxon’s people, it wouldn’t have been so quiet without a single sound.

So... from beginning to end, did no fighting even take place?

She suddenly remembered someone had come looking for Maxwell Saxon earlier, saying they had something important to tell him.

What did Maxwell Saxon say then?

It seemed he said to let him in, so was it that someone discovered Matthew Saxon had come, and Maxwell Saxon instructed them not to stop him?

Her mind was in chaos; Matthew Saxon’s sudden appearance had caught her too off guard, like a hedgehog sensing danger, every part of her was on edge.

Of course she was not the one in danger, those four guns weren’t aimed at her.

"Matthew Saxon, how did you come here?" Scarlett Yates was extremely anxious, tugging at the collar of his shirt, lowering her voice, "Did anyone come with you? Does Grandpa know about this, did he ask Uncle Spencer to accompany you?"

Despite having four guns pointed at his head, Matthew Saxon’s expression remained calm, as if only facing four toy guns.

He looked down at Scarlett Yates and, in such a tense situation, actually managed to smile, curving his lips, and said, "I came here alone."

What? Came alone?

Has he lost his mind!
