Chapter 418

The hostility he was emanating was naturally felt by Henry Dales.

A quick flash of surprise crossed his eyes, followed by a deep look at Scarlett Yates, a trace of darkness and disappointment swiftly passing through his calm and serene gaze.

He clenched one hand tightly and spoke with a faint smile, “If one truly intends to find someone, how could they not? Young Master Saxon, would it be possible for you to spare a moment for me to speak with Scarlett p>

Matthew Saxon smiled coldly, “Whatever Young Master Dales has to say can be said here. You see, Scarlett is frail, with limited mobility, and needs to be carried everywhere p>

Henry Dales pondered for a few seconds, then nodded, “Young Master Saxon is right; I failed to consider that p>

Scarlett Yates remained silent.

In such a situation, she didn’t know what to say.

What does Henry want with her?

Is it because of what happened when she was taken to the deserted island?

Suddenly, Scarlett’s emotions became a bit chaotic.

She always believed that Henry had no knowledge of this matter because she trusted he wasn’t that kind of person.

Yet she forgot to consider, what if Henry was indeed behind it? Then what would she do?

“Scarlett, I heard that something happened to you a few days ago. Are you… okay now?” After a moment, which seemed like a long time, Henry’s hoarse voice quietly sounded, his dark eyes fixed on Scarlett with worry.

In truth, this wasn’t the question he most wanted to ask. After so many days of waiting and enduring, he had countless things to say in his heart. But now, with her right in front of him, so close, those things he wanted to ask or say simply couldn’t come out.

In such circumstances, this was the only question he could ask.

Treating her like an ordinary friend, like a genuine senior student.

That day, when Jack Smith told him she was trapped on the island, he immediately abandoned the bidding meeting to find her, yet someone went ahead of him.

Jack Smith knelt before him, pleading for him to prioritize the Dales Clan and not get wrapped up in personal matters.

Ultimately, he appeared at the bidding meeting.

On that very day, he saw through Matthew Saxon’s heart.

Scarlett was someone more than just he cared about; this realization filled him with fear.

He knew too well what kind of person Matthew Saxon was.

Anything the Second Young Master of the Saxon Family desired, he would absolutely obtain.

So if Matthew Saxon fell for Scarlett and wanted her, he would indeed lose her.

What could he use to contest against someone like Matthew Saxon?

He is Roy Saxon’s son, and the ruling figure, Seymour, in terms of power and means, far surpasses him. Moreover, while Matthew Saxon is known for his flirty nature and numerous women around him, no woman has ever obtained a legitimate status from him.

From another perspective, at least Matthew Saxon could provide Scarlett Yates with an open and honorable identity, whereas from the day he chose Rosie Wood, he lost even the qualification to compete.

He knows he should let her go.

Yet, how can one easily remove someone planted deeply in his heart?

Seeing Henry Dales again, Scarlett felt he seemed to have lost a lot of weight, his complexion paler and his spirits not looking well.

He had become quite haggard, as if he had been through a severe illness.

Earlier, when they weren’t so close, she hadn’t seen it so clearly. Now, as she glanced up again, she was silently shocked.

How could he have become so haggard in just a few short days without seeing each other?
