Chapter 719

“I beg you, take me away from here.” Her mouth was filled with a strong taste of blood, and her hoarse voice was tinged with tears. At this moment, she couldn’t care about anything else, even though she had been trying hard to avoid this man just a moment ago.

His appearance was like a lifeline.

Even though she knew he was Alexis Denton’s cousin, even though she knew he was part of the Denton Family, she still turned to him for help.

For some reason, the moment Scarlett Yates saw Maxwell Saxon appear, her heart inexplicably calmed down.

It was as if she knew he would take her away.

This trust came inexplicably.

“I will take you away, Scarlett, don’t be afraid.” Seeing her suffering, Maxwell Saxon’s cold eyes finally showed a trace of anger. After softening his voice to comfort her, he bent down and picked Scarlett up.

The moment he held her in his arms, Maxwell Saxon was shocked.

Her body felt like a blazing fire, unnaturally hot.

And as Scarlett was held in Maxwell’s arms, she let out a sigh of comfort.

His cool embrace was undoubtedly the best way to relieve the agony she was suffering at this moment.

She buried her face deeply into his chest, greedily inhaling the crisp fragrance on him.

This was the first time she had ever taken the initiative to get close to him.

Despite knowing it was due to the drugs, Maxwell Saxon’s heart still stirred.

He held Scarlett tightly, a cold glint flickered through his eyes as he slowly turned around.

Alexis Denton widened her eyes, staring at him incredulously: “You’re going to take her away p>

“Alexis, this time you’ve gone too far. I know what grievances you’ve suffered, but this matter has nothing to do with her. You shouldn’t vent your anger at an innocent person p>

In terms of feelings, Maxwell Saxon never had a good relationship with Alexis Denton since childhood.

Although they were cousins, their wildly differing personalities meant they weren’t close beyond this familial bond.

Maxwell didn’t have a good impression of his cousin.

He had long known his spoiled and arrogant cousin had done many excessive things, but those who suffered under her, considering the delicate relationship between the Denton Family and the Saxon Family, had to bear it in silence.

Since Alexis Denton hadn’t caused any major trouble, and with May Denton protecting her, he could only turn a blind eye.

After all, to him, she was just a cousin; being indifferent by nature, he never valued familial ties much, aside from May Denton. He couldn’t care less whether others lived or died.

But this time was different.

Alexis Denton’s target was Scarlett Yates.

He could tolerate some of her reckless behavior, but no one could touch the woman Maxwell Saxon valued.

Even if it was his own cousin, if necessary, he would risk turning against her.

Alexis looked at him as if she didn’t recognize him, her face full of shock, stunned for a few seconds before screaming: “What do you mean she’s innocent? She’s not innocent at all! If it weren’t for her, Matthew would surely love me. It’s this shameless vixen who attracted Matthew, causing him to no longer see me p>

“Without her, I would be with Matthew; she destroyed my happiness p>

Blinded by hatred and jealousy, she lacked any semblance of reason.
