Chapter 382
Maxwell Saxon stood in front of her, lowered his head, and looked down at him with a cold expression, saying, “Did you lay a hand on Scarlett Yates? Is the wound on her head your doing p>
Even though Maxwell was asking her, there was no trace of inquiry in his tone.
The tone of certainty clearly showed that he had already determined Alice Green was responsible for this.
Alice retracted her body a bit, exhaled a long, exhausted breath, then lazily lifted her head. Her eyes, swollen from crying, were cold as she looked at Matthew Saxon and snorted lightly, “What makes you so sure it was me p>
Maxwell laughed coldly, “Who knows you better than I do, Alice Green p>
“Driven by hate born of love, consumed by jealousy, you actually tried to kill Scarlett Yates. No wonder they say when a woman hardens her heart, she’s more terrifying than a viper p>
“What is this supposed to mean, Maxwell?” Alice frowned unhappily and said coldly, “If I’m so terrifying, why are you collaborating with me? Aren’t you afraid that I might be provoked and then try to kill you as well p>
Maxwell seemed to have heard something amusing and curved his lips into a smile, “I’m not that silly girl. If you dare harbor such a thought, you know what the outcome would be p>
Alice suddenly shivered.
There had been some arrogance in her eyes earlier, but under Matthew’s half-joking, half-serious gaze, a hint of fear flickered from the bottom of her eyes.
She truly feared this man.
If it weren’t for the fact that they shared common goals and he was the best choice for a partner, she would never have allied with a man whose depth of scheming was beyond imagination.
Yes, alliance.
In the eyes of outsiders, she had captured the heart of the Young Master of the Saxon Family with her outstanding appearance, and then suddenly transformed from a sparrow into a phoenix, about to marry into a wealthy family as the Young Madam.
Even though she was a sought-after actress, in the eyes of ordinary people, this status seemed quite dazzling, yet in the eyes of the truly wealthy, to put it harshly, stars like her, who wore a dazzling halo on the surface, were nothing more than higher-class performers.
The real noble families value being well-matched in social and economic status the most.
For an actress like her, it’s exceedingly difficult to marry into a wealthy family.
So, in the eyes of others, for her to be able to marry into the Saxon Family, such a prestigious family, with her ordinary family background, one would consider her exceptionally lucky.
Everyone would envy her.
Even her friends in the entertainment circle said she was fortunate to marry such an outstanding man like Maxwell Saxon.
Outstanding?
Alice couldn’t help but let out two cold laughs from the bottom of her heart.
Yes, on the surface, Maxwell indeed seemed exceptionally outstanding.
He had the noble status of being the Young Master of the Saxon Family, an outstandingly handsome appearance, and a good character with clean living, coupled with being extraordinarily capable.
From any angle, a man like that seems perfect.
Being able to marry such a man, any woman would be secretly delighted, right?
But Alice only felt fear.
From the moment she met Maxwell Saxon until now, her feelings towards this man were mostly dominated by fear.
Just like now, he stood in front of her with a smile, that gentle smile; she could not feel a trace of warmth from it, only a constant sense of coldness and fear within her heart.
“I was just joking around. How could I dare harbor any ill intention towards you, Young Master? Unless I was tired of living p>
She used a joke to cover up the fear in her heart.
Maxwell laughed, “You’ve made a move on Scarlett Yates, this won’t be easy to get past. Have you thought about how to deal with this p>
