Chapter 10
Henry Dales noticed her nervousness and smiled slightly, “The Dales Family and the Saxon Family have known each other for over a decade. I know a bit about the Saxon Family. Although they are wealthy and influential, they haven’t done anything outrageous. So when I found out you were taken by the Saxon Family, I didn’t come to rescue you, Scarlett. I hope you don’t blame me p>
Scarlett Yates looked up in surprise, “Senior, you considered coming to save me p>
Henry looked at her gently, his dark eyes reminiscent of the deepest night, with a light smile at the corner of his lips, “You’re my junior, if you’re in danger, how could I stand by and do nothing p>
Scarlett’s heart immediately raced like a drum, her face burning hot with an intense heat.
Oh no, oh no, Scarlett, you’re really doomed.
Senior Brother Dales is nice to everyone. If it were someone else, he would have said the same thing. Why are you getting so excited?
Hopeless, truly hopeless!
She drank the entire cup of coffee in one go to hide her unusual emotions, “Thank you, senior p>
Downing a whole cup of coffee, Scarlett suddenly placed the envelope she had been tightly clutching in front of Henry Dales.
Henry was taken aback, “Scarlett p>
Having reached a certain level of nervousness, Scarlett calmed considerably, smiled, and said softly, “Senior, I heard recently that the Dales Clan encountered some issues and urgently needs significant investment to resolve the crisis. I have a little bit of money here. Though it can’t completely solve the problem, I hope it can help a bit p>
Two hundred million, for the vast Dales Clan, indeed isn’t enough.
But if it can temporarily ease the crisis, giving the Dales Clan a few more days to find an investor, it would be sufficient.
Henry seemed very surprised, but he looked at Scarlett as if she wasn’t joking.
“How much is in here p>
Scarlett hesitated for a moment, her voice very soft, “Two hundred million p>
“Scarlett, how do you have so much money?” The amount of two hundred million isn’t something that would shock the only heir of the Dales Family.
But for Scarlett, who lives off a full scholarship since entering school, suddenly having two hundred million quietly at her disposal is like a fairy tale.
“Senior, I promise this money isn’t stolen, robbed, or fraudulent. It’s not any kind of dirty money, please just accept it p>
Henry was silent for a moment, then returned the envelope, “Scarlett, I can’t accept it p>
“Why? Is it because you think the money is too little to help p>
Henry was silent for a long time this time.
He seemed to smile, but there was no hint of amusement in his eyes, it was as if he was just mechanically pulling at the corners of his lips. His tone suddenly became much cooler, “The Dales Clan has already found an investor p>
Before Scarlett could react, he had already stood up, “Scarlett, tomorrow night I’m hosting a birthday party, I hope you can come p>
Hotel dining area.
The floor-to-ceiling window reflected the colorful night view and a couple dining.
The woman was wrapped in a form-fitting red dress. Her skin was fair, and this bright red neither looked tacky nor overwhelmingly eye-catching on her.
With large, wavy curls casually draped over her shoulders, she slightly tilted the corner of her eyes, continually casting flirty glances at the man sitting opposite her, her mind entirely ignoring the delicious food on the table or the glass of fine red wine in front of her.
What a pity p>
The object of the beauty’s frequent signals seemed a bit oblivious to romance.
Or rather, completely oblivious.
Matthew Saxon lounged lazily on the soft leather chair, his slightly thin lips curved into a subtle, mischievously mocking smile as he asked casually, “Miss Denton, just having returned to the country, are you getting accustomed to everything here p>
