Chapter 540
“Why should I care?” Alice Green chuckled softly, “Others might not know about our relationship, but surely you do p>
“I wish you would truly fall for Scarlett Yates and find a way to steal her from him; that way, no one would compete with me for Matthew p>
As she said this, Maxwell Saxon’s eyes flickered briefly, then his thin lips curved slightly, “Your fondness for Matthew Saxon makes me a bit uneasy p>
These words seemed casual, but Alice suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
She paused, her expression changed instantly, “What do you mean? You don’t trust me p>
Maxwell smiled faintly, “Women in love often lose their rationality. I cannot help but worry that you might turn on me for Matthew Saxon p>
Cold sweat rolled down her forehead, Alice was startled by his half-serious, half-joking tone, her heart skipped several beats.
Being suspected by a man like Maxwell Saxon is truly terrifying.
She had witnessed firsthand his ruthless approach of preferring to err on the side of caution rather than letting someone slip through.
Unconsciously, she clenched her fists, sweat dripping down her forehead onto her face, taking a few nervous breaths, suppressing the fear in her heart, and meeting his inscrutable deep eyes: “I will never betray you. I only want to be with Matthew p>
A soft laugh.
Seeing Alice turn pale with fright, Maxwell Saxon shed his previous inscrutability, his tone becoming much more relaxed: “Of course, if I didn’t trust you, I wouldn’t have chosen to collaborate with you p>
Alice’s heart relaxed as she wiped the sweat from her face, pursed her lips, and slowly said, “That matter… did you handle it p>
“It’s merely a small issue, it’s already been dealt with p>
Joy appeared on Alice’s face, “I knew you would find a way p>
“I’ve told you long ago, you just need to keep your mouth shut and never admit it, no matter what p>
“But if Matthew continues to investigate Alice frowned, “Yesterday he asked me out, setting up many traps to force me to confess, I almost fell for his tricks p>
Her face darkened at this point.
He had actually set her up just for another woman to coax the truth out of her.
While they were talking, Scarlett Yates called, and after answering the call, he threw a huge fit, scaring her out of her wits.
No woman had ever stirred such anger in him before, able to easily disrupt his emotions, yet this woman named Scarlett Yates did.
In his eyes, Scarlett Yates was already more important than her.
Three years of companionship and effort could not even match a woman he had known for a few months. Whenever Alice thought about this, she felt indignant.
“What’s there to fear.” Maxwell Saxon smiled indifferently, tossing the pen in his hand onto the table, and slowly rising to walk to the window.
The venetian blinds were half-opened.
Squinting into the distance, he lightly curled his lips, “He doesn’t have concrete evidence, which is why he tried to get you to talk. If he continues to investigate, it will only lead to the Dales Family p>
“The Dales Family?” Alice was stunned, surprised, “Are the ones who sent Scarlett Yates and me to the island really from the Dales Family p>
“Whether or not it’s true doesn’t matter.” The sunlight was a bit dazzling, Maxwell squinted slightly and gazed outside for a moment, then slowly turned around, a barely visible, faint smile surfacing on his mature and handsome face.
