Chapter 718
“Afraid?” Alexis Denton released her hand, tossing her aside like she was trash. Slowly, she straightened up and said in a voice filled with seething hatred, “As long as I can get revenge, no matter how much it costs, I don’t care p>
“Wasn’t what he did to me cruel enough p>
Thinking of those humiliating days, Alexis Denton’s eyes reddened.
She bit her lip tightly and said with hatred, “From the moment I first laid eyes on him, I liked him. Since I was little, I vowed to find a way to marry him. I truly liked him and wanted to be his wife, to accompany him for a lifetime. And him p>
Her hatred intensified, her gaze sharp like a knife, seriously stabbing into Scarlett Yates’s face: “He treated my true feelings like dirt. He toyed with me, using such cruel means to humiliate me. He truly is the coldest, most heartless man in the world p>
“But such a man actually has a woman he cares about.” Jealousy and hatred intertwined, simultaneously appearing on Alexis Denton’s beautiful face, warping her face into a distorted grimace. “Since he likes you, then I’ll destroy you p>
“He ruined my hopes, so I’ll ruin what he likes. Looking at it this way, it’s quite fair, isn’t it p>
Seeing Scarlett Yates’s reaction start to go awry, Alexis Denton laughed heartily a few times and clapped her hands: “Come in, everyone. The drama we’ve been brewing for so long is finally ready to start p>
The door opened.
But the people who came in weren’t the men who were arranged beforehand.
When Alexis Denton clearly saw who walked in, she was shocked, her face showing an expression of surprise.
“Cousin, why are you p>
“Alexis, haven’t I told you not to do stupid things? Why won’t you listen to me p>
The person who walked in from outside was Maxwell Saxon.
He looked at Alexis Denton with no expression, though his seemingly indifferent voice contained a hint of thin anger.
After a moment of surprise, Alexis Denton quickly returned to normal, giving him an indifferent smile and signaling to the person next to her.
The man understood and turned to leave.
“Cousin, if I don’t vent this anger, I can’t bear it. Surely you don’t plan to interfere p>
“What did you do to her p>
Alexis Denton laughed slightly, speaking nonchalantly: “It’s nothing much, just treating her as she treats others. Speaking of which, she’s lucky to enjoy an experience for free, not a loss p>
“Foolish!” Maxwell Saxon frowned. Hearing a painful moan from the bed, his gaze turned cold, and he walked toward the bed.
Alexis Denton blocked his way, surprised: “Cousin, you don’t really intend to meddle, do you? Don’t forget, we’re family. Are you going to side with an outsider instead of your own cousin p>
“She’s innocent.” Despite the person blocking him being his cousin, Maxwell Saxon unhesitatingly pushed Alexis Denton aside.
He took a few steps to the bedside and looked down to see Scarlett Yates with her wide, dark eyes pleading for help from him.
In order to suppress the increasingly intense effects of the drug, her lips were bitten until they were bloody.
Her face was flushed unnaturally, her head and face covered in sweat, and her fair skin revealed an unusual flush.
Under extreme restraint and endurance, Scarlett Yates’s voice painfully changed tone as she laboriously reached out a hand to him: “Maxwell Saxon, please, take me away from here p>
