Chapter 125
Just one sentence, and in an instant, all eyes shifted to Scarlett Yates.
Alice Green knew exactly how to divert the public’s attention.
The flashlights almost simultaneously changed direction, capturing a frenzy of photos of Scarlett Yates.
The reporters, with faces full of joy, excitedly exclaimed, “The second young master of the Saxon Family has a pre-arranged marriage p>
“This is quite the intriguing piece of news. In this day and age, people still have arranged marriages? With a prominent family like the Saxons, shouldn’t they find a match of equal social standing p>
“This woman looks familiar, like I’ve seen her somewhere before… Oh, I remember, she’s the young mistress Matthew Saxon was rumored to be supporting. That night at the Dales Family, Matthew even defended her p>
“The female university student from Saint Mercy? Wasn’t she just a kept lover? How did she become Matthew Saxon’s fiancée p>
The reporters swarmed towards Scarlett Yates like a flock of bees.
In an instant, they had completely surrounded her.
All around were white flashes, so bright that they nearly blinded her.
The reporters kept pushing forward, eagerly thrusting their microphones and recording pens in front of her, “Miss Yates, could you please answer, are you really Matthew Saxon’s fiancée p>
“Miss Yates, you p>

Too many people surged towards her, blinding lights in front of her, chaotic sounds in her ears.

In just a few seconds, the elevator stopped on the floor she pressed, the third floor.

The door quickly opened.
A man’s deep, magnetic voice, laced with a teasing smile, came from inside the room, “Why not hide anymore? Do you regret it? I told you there’s only one chance, you p>
The man’s voice suddenly stopped, and his action of towel-drying his hair paused.
His slightly damp hair, ruffled by the towel, exposed a large forehead beneath which were deep, captivating eyes.
