Chapter 174
“Miss Green, you’re overthinking this p>
Scarlett felt uncomfortable, and naturally, her tone wasn’t any better. She said coldly, “I haven’t misunderstood anything. If you think I have, that just shows you’ve already admitted the ambiguity between you and the Young Master. If there’s truly nothing inappropriate, why worry about misunderstandings p>
After speaking, she gave a sarcastic smile, “Though I trust Miss Green’s character and believe that the relationship between you two is as pure as a white lotus, I can’t guarantee what others might think. After all, Miss Green, you’re in the entertainment industry, a public figure. Every move is watched by countless eyes. Who knows if some paparazzi might be following you, and in their eagerness for headlines, could embellish and distort tonight’s events. At that point, even if Miss Green had a hundred mouths, you couldn’t explain it away p>
As she spoke, she provocatively looked at Matthew Saxon.
Her expressive eyes were full of mockery, as if telling him, Matthew Saxon, it’s shameful that you’d get involved with your future sister-in-law. Be careful not to cause a scandal that you won’t be able to handle!
If it were any other future sister-in-law, it might be okay. But this one just happens to be a famous actress.
Tsk tsk, such a famous actress, who probably can’t even go to the bathroom without being watched, and yet he has the nerve to publicly embrace her in the hallway.
If, by accident, someone captures it, let’s see how he cleans up the mess!
Scarlett initially thought her barbed remarks at Alice would provoke Matthew Saxon, but unexpectedly, Matthew merely offered a smile of unclear intent without any further response.
Scarlett was utterly shocked.
Isn’t Alice Green the woman he loves?
Seeing the woman he loves being attacked by her, shouldn’t he stand up to defend her?
Why… is it completely different from what she expected?
What Scarlett was thinking, Alice Green was thinking as well.
After being attacked, she first looked at Matthew Saxon with teary, pitiful eyes, fully expecting him to say something in her defense. But who would have thought that not only did he pretend not to see her pleading gaze, but he also nodded in agreement with Scarlett’s words.
Alice Green was stunned, full of disbelief.
She choked with extreme grievance, “Matthew, I’m sorry. Miss Yates is right. I was thoughtless and didn’t consider the trouble it would cause you. But I was genuinely terrified at the time, my mind went blank, I truly didn’t do it on purpose p>
As she spoke, she started to tear up… again.
Oh heavens!
Scarlett, watching, marveled silently. How could she be like a reservoir, with tears falling so easily? After crying so much already, it still wasn’t enough.
Before, seeing her cry so heartbreakingly, Scarlett thought her tear-streaked visage was quite pitiable. But crying at the drop of a hat, looking like a weeping statue, after so many times, it just became tiresome.
But this trick seemed to work well on Matthew Saxon.
The moment Alice Green started crying, he sighed and offered her a handkerchief, his voice softening, “I don’t blame you. Don’t cry anymore p>
As Alice took the handkerchief, she turned to look at Scarlett with a hint of triumph in her eyes.
She wiped her tears, wearing a self-reproachful expression, guiltily saying, “But Miss Yates seems very angry. Matthew, I… I should just leave… If I stay here, Miss Yates won’t be happy p>
