Chapter 269
She suddenly lost her appetite thinking about this group of elite young men often sharing a woman.
In her eyes, although Matthew Saxon was a flirtatious and unfaithful man, she didn’t expect his private life could be so decadent and wanton.
Just thinking about such scenes made her feel nauseated.
Indeed, in the eyes of these wealthy young masters, women seem no more than playthings.
She suddenly thought.
Even after Knox Simmons knew her identity, he still entangled with her, with no regard for Matthew Saxon. Had he already gotten some sort of tacit approval from Matthew?
Just like how they used to be accustomed to, did Matthew allow Knox to do that?
This thought came to her swiftly, as if something harshly tugged at her heart, causing her face to instantly turn pale with pain.
“I was just joking casually, you got angry?” Knox Simmons, initially indifferent, noticed Scarlett Yates’s face suddenly turned so pale that he quickly put away his teasing manner and hastened to explain.
“Scarlett, to me, you are certainly not something to be casually traded p>
“Besides, Matthew Saxon wouldn’t do such a thing. Although he used to do things like that, but regarding you p>
Knox frowned, recalling what Matthew said that night, and in a bad tone, said, “That guy told me not to pursue you. Even though he doesn’t like you himself, he stubbornly monopolizes you and forbids others from competing, what gives him the right p>
Scarlett’s heart, which was just moments ago torn with pain, suddenly found relief.
Her face remained pale, but her expression had eased considerably, “He really said that p>
Knox still frowned, reluctantly nodded, and snorted coldly, “But that guy underestimates me, does he think that just with his one sentence, I’ll give up p>
The cold pain in her heart seemed infused with warmth, easing all her discomfort.
With just a few words from Knox Simmons, he easily stirred her emotions, and upon realizing this, Scarlett felt indescribable inside.
She knew she had fallen for Matthew Saxon.
The very person she always disdained and loathed like a heartless playboy is the one she liked, how ironic, isn’t it?
Even though she resolved to draw a clear line with him, could she really?
She cares about his words, cares about what place she holds in his heart, cares about too much, too much.
Knox Simmons, having been a master in the field for years, instantly thought of some possibilities looking at Scarlett’s rapidly changing emotions in such a short time.
His Peach Blossom Eyes squinted again, gazing at Scarlett. After a moment, he chuckled lightly and said, “Scarlett, although Matthew Saxon is my friend and I shouldn’t speak ill of him behind his back, but who told me I couldn’t bear to see beauty in tears, I still can’t help but remind you p>
“That guy is nowhere near a good person, most cold-hearted and ruthless. Countless women have had their hearts broken over him. The only person in his heart is that woman surnamed Ji. If you fall for him, you’ll get hurt p>
A heartless playboy advises her not to like another heartless playboy.
Scarlett found this amusing.
Yet she couldn’t laugh.
Because in Knox Simmons’s eyes, she saw a gaze she was very familiar with.
Not long ago, she saw this gaze in George’s eyes as well.
They were pitying her.
Pitying her for what? Pitying her for liking Matthew Saxon?
