Chapter 22
Especially those slender, enchanting eyes that could seduce the soul, Scarlett Yates crashed into them with no defenses, nearly drowning in that deep, dark abyss.
Her heart skipped a beat and pounded fiercely.
She had no idea how Matthew Saxon discovered her.
His gaze landed openly on her face, examining for a moment, then his lips curled into a mocking, disdainful cold smile.
“Matthew, do you know those two girls p>
The magnificent crystal lamp emitted a cold light, reflecting in Matthew Saxon’s enchanting, cold black eyes, revealing the hint of disgust and ridicule in his eyes.
Logan Dales looked along his gaze, carrying a slight confusion in his eyes.
From any aspect, those two girls were not the type for the Saxon Family’s Second Young Master.
Matthew Saxon leisurely and slowly retracted his gaze, curled his lips and responded irrelevantly, “I didn’t expect Young Master Dales’ friends to have such a ’unique’ taste, it’s hard not to attract attention p>
Logan Dales paused, shook his head with a smile, and sighed with some helplessness, “Henry doesn’t like me interfering in his friendships, as long as they’re not some shady people, I just let it be p>
“It’s hard to say if they’re shady people.” Matthew Saxon indicated with a raised lip, casting another disdainful gaze at Scarlett Yates.
In just one day, he unexpectedly saw that money-grubbing woman again.
Given her status, to receive an invitation from Henry Dales was indeed extraordinary.
What’s laughable is that she dressed like a clown for such a formal occasion, with a head adorned with golden glitter in curly hair and wearing a red dress embedded with shiny armor.
The shiny armor on her dress looked like fish scales, tightly wrapping around her body from top to bottom.
At first glance, he seemed to see a salted fish struggling on land.
His thin lips curved slightly, with an increasing disdainful smile.
A vulgar, money-grubbing woman, truly ruining one’s appetite.
Logan Dales sensed the underlying meaning in his words and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What do you mean by that p>
“Young Master Dales doesn’t care about social class in making friends, which is fine, but inevitably there are people with ulterior motives approaching him, and there are quite a few women dreaming of turning from sparrows into phoenixes p>
Logan Dales’ expression subtly changed, his eyes instantly showing a sharpness, “You’re right, Henry’s thoughts are simple, and around him, there’s no shortage of women dreaming foolishly, but after tonight, such things won’t happen again p>
Matthew Saxon’s eyes flickered, “Old Master Dales means p>
Logan Dales smiled, patting his shoulder, “An answer will come very soon p>
All the guests arrived one after another, the banquet was about to begin, but the host of tonight was still absent.
Even though Logan Dales was usually composed and calm, he couldn’t help but be a little anxious.
Tonight is a crucial night, concerning the future of the Dales Clan!
He was restless, pacing back and forth, and no matter how much he feigned calmness, a trace of urgency involuntarily appeared in his eyes, “Why hasn’t Henry returned p>
“Young Master called earlier, saying there was a situation on the road, causing the delay p>
“What?! Is Henry alright p>
“Please rest assured, Master, Young Master has already handled it and will arrive with Miss Wood in ten minutes p>
After confirming repeatedly, Logan Dales finally breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what, there mustn’t be any errors tonight.
Time passed second by second.
Four minutes remain until the official start of the banquet.
