Chapter 656

She glared at him furiously for a long time, gritting her teeth as she cursed, “Robber p>

“Being a robber is better than being someone so incompetent they can’t even take what they want.” He spouted a bunch of nonsense, justifying his shameless behavior.

Scarlett Yates couldn’t out-argue him and stood up angrily, “You eat slowly by yourself, I’m not hungry anymore p>

“Sit down.” His finger tapped lightly on the table. Seeing Scarlett Yates grabbing her bag and turning to leave, his thin lips lifted, forming a shallow smile, “If you don’t want me to announce my ownership of you at your hospital tomorrow, go ahead and leave p>

“You Scarlett Yates abruptly stopped in her tracks, turning back to glare at him fiercely.

Matthew Saxon curled his lips, his long, fair fingers tapping on the wine glass, listening to the crisp knocking sound, and spoke unhurriedly, “Have a proper meal with me p>

Scarlett Yates had no choice but to sit down.

The threat he issued just now was something she couldn’t ignore.

She dared not imagine if Matthew Saxon really did that, whether she could maintain her current peaceful life.

Once labeled as Matthew Saxon’s woman, she wondered if her relationship with her colleagues could remain the same.

“I came over this time with a gift for you p>

Watching her sit down, Matthew Saxon slowly pulled out a box from his bag, stretched out his long arm, and placed it in front of her on the table.

Scarlett Yates didn’t even glance at it, “What is this p>

“Open it and you’ll find out p>

She didn’t move, “I don’t need any gifts, take it back p>

“Scarlett Yates, I’ve told you, you’d better not make me angry again, or I can’t guarantee what I might do.” He narrowed his eyes, issuing a shameless threat.

Scarlett Yates glared at him angrily.

He smiled nonchalantly and again commanded, “Open it and take a look p>

Scarlett Yates truly detested this man.

How can he be so unreasonable, so domineering, and so overbearing?

She angrily opened the box, but the moment she saw what was inside, she was stunned.

This is p>

Inside was a pair of jadeite bangles. The quality was decent; they weren’t extraordinarily valuable, but not something you could get at a cheap price either.

This pair of jadeite bangles belonged to her grandmother.

Her grandmother had once told her that the bangles were part of her dowry. When her parents passed away and her grandmother was getting old, their financial situation was very tight. Her uncle’s family used the excuse of high expenses for their children, and the help they gave her and her grandmother was almost negligible.

During such a difficult time, she fell ill.

Out of nowhere, she succumbed to a severe illness.

To gather enough money for her medical treatment, her grandmother sold the dowry bangles.

Later on, when she recovered from her illness and learned that her grandmother had sold the dowry to pay for her treatment, she secretly vowed that once she could earn money, she would definitely buy back that pair of bangles.

Unfortunately, so many years had passed, and the person who bought the bangles back then had vanished without a trace.

She now had the money to buy back the bangles, but still couldn’t fulfill her initial wish.

Looking down, she blankly stared at this pair of once-lost bangles, whispering in surprise, “These bangles… these are my grandma’s bangles, how did you know p>

“Consider it a birthday gift, do you like it?” Matthew Saxon didn’t explain further.

He had put a lot of thought into her, and naturally paid attention to many things related to her.

The story of her grandmother selling the bangles to pay for her treatment was something he found out accidentally. Once he knew about it, he had to find a way to retrieve that pair of bangles.
