Chapter 747

Even if he can handle such a shock, he should consider other people’s ability to cope, right?

What if he frightened the flowers, plants, and little children?

The elevator went directly down to the underground parking lot.

Scarlett Yates felt relieved that no one was waiting for the elevator from the time she entered it to the time she reached the underground parking.

Especially if there were any elderly people, otherwise she felt they would most likely have been startled by her.

Maxwell Saxon was so calm that Scarlett Yates glanced at herself in the mirror several times, and each time, she was shocked by her bizarre appearance.

She really couldn’t understand, even she felt it was unbearable to look at, so why was Maxwell Saxon acting as if nothing was wrong?

Was he really planning to take her to the banquet like this?

Uncle Thompson was waiting in the car.

When Maxwell Saxon and Scarlett Yates approached, he opened the car door and got out, about to greet Scarlett Yates as usual, but was startled when he looked up and saw her.

Uncle Thompson was visibly shocked, staring at Scarlett Yates for a full minute before finally confirming her identity.

“Miss Yates?!” He was clearly greatly shocked, scrutinizing Scarlett Yates from top to bottom several times as if he was looking at a monster, full of disbelief.

Being stared at made Scarlett Yates’ scalp tingle and her face flush, yet she braced herself, pretending nonchalance, and nodded: “Hello, Uncle Thompson p>

“It’s really you.” Uncle Thompson confirmed her identity completely when he heard her speak, and said in astonishment, “Miss Yates, why are you dressed like this? Didn’t Young Master have clothes and jewelry sent to you? Why didn’t you wear a single piece? Young Master personally selected them, spending several hours, you p>

Seeing how she had made a mess of herself, Uncle Thompson frowned and his eyes showed a hint of anger.

Tonight is Mayor Chapman’s birthday banquet, and she’s dressed like this—is she here to celebrate or to scare people?

As Young Master’s companion, everything she says or does relates to him. Is she intentionally embarrassing him?

Such an inconsiderate woman, and Young Master actually indulges her, bringing her out.

“Uncle Thompson p>

Just as Uncle Thompson was about to reprimand Scarlett Yates, Maxwell Saxon called him indifferently, “It’s getting late, let’s get in the car p>

The seemingly normal tone carried a subtle but undeniable command.

Uncle Thompson was so angry he could die.

He knew well this was Maxwell Saxon protecting Scarlett Yates.

He was furious, not understanding why his Young Master cherished such a thoughtless girl.

He wanted to say a few more words but couldn’t.

Before getting in the car, Uncle Thompson couldn’t help but remind, “Young Master, tonight is Mayor Chapman’s birthday p>

Maxwell Saxon replied coolly, “I know p>

“Miss Yates’ outfit seems rather unsuitable p>

Maxwell Saxon turned a blind eye to the truth and said, “What’s unsuitable about it? I think it’s very fitting p>

Uncle Thompson was so mad his eyes slanted and his nose twitched: “Young Master p>

“Uncle Thompson.” Maxwell Saxon intensified his tone, showing a bit of impatience.

“If Young Master doesn’t see anything wrong, I suppose I’m worrying for nothing. I won’t say anything then.” Uncle Thompson’s tone carried a hint of disgruntled defiance, and he turned around to get in the car.

On the way—

Uncle Thompson said he wouldn’t speak, and he truly did not utter another word.

Scarlett Yates was restless.

Although Maxwell Saxon hadn’t said a word about her from start to finish, it was precisely because of his attitude that she felt increasingly guilty inside.
