Chapter 28

A poor woman still living on scholarships and a wealthy heir born with a golden spoon—what connection could they possibly have?

Yet, the impossible did happen.

Scarlett Yates hadn’t even reacted before a strong and slender arm wrapped around her shoulder. With a gentle pull, she found herself in a warm embrace.

The warm embrace carried the unfamiliar scent of a man.

Matthew Saxon’s mesmerizing eyes lazily swept over, finally landing in the surprised gaze of Rosie Wood. He raised his eyebrows lightly and said, “When did my woman fall to others to ridicule p>

Though his tone was casual, those who heard it felt a chill run down their spines.

Rosie’s expression turned extremely ugly in an instant, “Young Master Saxon isn’t joking, right p>

How could it be! Scarlett is Matthew Saxon’s woman?

A man like Matthew, with such a noble identity, how could he know someone like Scarlett?

Their social statuses are worlds apart; they shouldn’t intersect even by accident.

Matthew may be a womanizer, with many women from the entertainment circle around him, but it’s unheard of him suddenly liking women from the slums.

The woman in his arms seemed stunned, her body as stiff as ice.

Matthew slightly lowered his head, and he could see her pale face, ghost-like, completely devoid of color.

Wasn’t she just sharp-tongued when negotiating with him, and boldly splashed coffee on him last night? She clearly had guts, yet now she’s become timid, quietly letting the opposite party step on her sore spot.

“Henry Dales, keep your woman in check. If something similar happens again, don’t blame me for being rude.” After throwing out this uncompromising remark, Matthew grasped Scarlett and walked out of the hall under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The spectators couldn’t help but secretly marvel.

Even though the Dales Family is a distinguished family in A City, the only person daring enough to publicly show no respect for them is this second heir of the Saxon Family.

He’s always been lofty and arrogant, not putting Young Master Dales in his eyes, let alone anyone else.

Such an arrogant person, and those around him dare not express their anger.

Behind them, Stella Nelson seemed still in shock, staring blankly at the two departing.

Only after a while did Stella mutter as if waking from a dream, “Oh my God, Scarlett is actually Matthew Saxon’s woman, am I dreaming p>

Rosie’s expression became even more colorful.

The Wood Family could be considered a wealthy and distinguished family, with a certain standing in high society.

But none of it holds a candle to the Saxon Family.

Offending the Saxon Family, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yet, she just humiliated Scarlett like that… She couldn’t help but worry whether Matthew would retaliate against the Wood Clan because of it.

However, the most embarrassed was the female companion Matthew had brought.

Without even a farewell, she was abandoned.

The nighttime scenery was enchanting.

The Maybach sped through the dark night.

Scarlett was still a bit dazed.

From the moment Matthew publicly declared her as his woman, to when he dragged her out of the hall, and then tossed her into the car, she had been in a fog, not coming to her senses for a long time.

She was more surprised than anyone else.

Scarlett knew better than anyone how much Matthew disliked her.

In the eyes of outsiders, Matthew’s actions seemed heroic, saving the damsel in distress, but Scarlett felt no gratitude towards him.

With the influence of the second heir of the Saxon Family, it wouldn’t be a day before the happenings of tonight’s banquet spread all over town.
