Chapter 558

When her hand touched his skin, Matthew Saxon realized her hand was cold and icy, without any warmth.

Her hair was wet, and there was rainwater that hadn’t been wiped off her face.

He frowned and instinctively wanted to reach out to wipe the water from her face.

As his hand reached out, Scarlett stepped back: “Young Master is not leaving, is he? Fine, then I’ll leave p>

Scarlett lowered her eyes, no longer looking at him, and turned towards the door.

She was about to break down.

She didn’t want him to see her losing control and breaking down in tears.

Since he wouldn’t leave, she had no choice but to go.

How could she not know that what he said was true; she had already seen what kind of person Maxwell Saxon is.

A person who could betray his own father to achieve his goals, what kind of person can that be?

She only felt fear.

“Come back.” Watching her turn decisively and leave, Matthew felt a stab in his heart. He took a deep breath and suppressed the discomfort.

Her departure seemed like she would never return again.

The departing figure was so resolute and cold.

Since he couldn’t get answers from her, he had no choice but to investigate slowly himself.

It was raining so heavily outside, she didn’t even have an umbrella. She was already soaked like a drenched rat when she returned. Is she planning to get drenched again?

Ever since she got injured on the island, although she had recovered now, her health was still much worse than before.

“Scarlett, no matter what Maxwell Saxon has said to you, from now on, do not meet him alone.” Matthew emphasized again as he was leaving, knowing she might not listen.

Scarlett said nothing, nor did she look at him.

She stood sideways, seemingly waiting quietly for him to leave.

Matthew’s lip curled into a helpless yet angry smile. As soon as he stepped out the door, Scarlett came over and shut the door.

With a slam.

The door almost hit his face.

Matthew stood outside the door with a cold face.

If he hadn’t moved fast, his foot would have been caught in the door.

Dammit!

What on earth did Maxwell Saxon say to her?

He was unwilling to leave just like that, but he had no choice.

Apparently, Scarlett was very repulsed by him now, to the point where she didn’t even want to see him.

The rain was still pouring, showing no sign of stopping.

George was waiting downstairs. When the dormitory door opened, Matthew walked out with a grim expression.

Seeing his expression, George knew immediately that Matthew and Scarlett had an unpleasant exchange.

But he didn’t dare to ask anything.

Ever since Matthew noticed his inappropriate thoughts, he avoided any topic related to Scarlett as much as possible.

He opened an umbrella and walked into the rain with Matthew.

Throughout the journey, Matthew remained silent with a grim face and a gloomy expression.

After getting in the car, as soon as George closed the door, he suddenly heard Matthew speak, “Immediately arrange for two people to protect her secretly p>

He was worried Maxwell Saxon might be up to some tricks again. Regardless, their conflict should not involve her.

George was taken aback but quickly realized who Matthew wanted to protect.

Even though he tried to avoid topics related to Scarlett, he couldn’t help but worry upon hearing this. After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously asked, “Young Master, is someone trying to harm Miss Yates p>
