Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 282: The Impossible Task

"Let me guess."

"It must be that Old Master Douglas wanted you to leave Matthew, and you refused to yield, deciding to fight to the end for love."

Scarlett first nodded, then shook her head, "You guessed half right."

He raised an eyebrow, surprised, "Only half right?"

Scarlett nodded, smiling, "I didn’t refuse to yield. I agreed to his terms and then demanded a hefty breakup fee from him."

Knox froze for a moment, then chuckled lightly, his eyes filled with amusement, "Scarlett, you always surprise me. No wonder you’re my sister. Come, let’s talk as we walk. What did you ask for? Let your brother analyze whether this deal was a loss or a gain."

Scarlett stood still, looking up at him, and poked his chest twice with her finger, "Hey, shouldn’t you first tell me why you’re here?"

"Me?"

Knox curled his lips, giving her a meaningful wink, "It has something to do with you."

"Don’t tell me you rushed over to protect me from being bullied?" Scarlett was startled and joked.

"Yes, I was afraid you’d be bullied by that old fox, so I rushed over here without even washing my face. Scarlett, can you find another brother as good as me in this world?"

He flirtatiously raised his Peach Blossom Eyes and cast Scarlett a coquettish glance.

"Seems like I can’t find another one."

"Then why aren’t you moved?"

"Moved?"

"You’re not even crying."

"Oh, I suddenly realized you are fooling me, brother."

A low laugh spilled from Knox’s throat, as if he had heard a very funny joke. He laughed for quite a while before gently sighing and said with a troubled face, "The old fox assigned me an impossible task, what do you think I should do?"

"What task?"

"To seduce you."

"... Cough, cough, cough." Scarlett coughed violently, her face turning red from the coughing.

She caught her breath lightly, glaring at Knox with annoyance, "That joke isn’t funny at all."

Knox sighed again, furrowing his brows, and said with a wry smile, "Scarlett, this time your brother isn’t joking. Otherwise, why do you think I came to this old fox’s place for no reason?"

Scarlett was stunned, scrutinizing him carefully. Seeing that he didn’t seem to be joking, her face slowly showed surprise, "Did Old Master Douglas really say that?"

"That’s right." Knox looked serious.

Scarlett frowned, pondering for a while, her face full of confusion and doubt, murmuring softly, "But why?"

Yeah, why?

Why would Ian Douglas think of having Knox come to seduce her?

Knox shrugged, smiling helplessly, "That old fox has people watching you. He knew we were together last night. He thought I was very interested in you, so..."

As for interest, of course, he was interested in her.

But what he hated the most was being manipulated.

The woman Knox Simmons liked, he would pursue in his own way. But being forced to pursue her really annoyed him.

If it weren’t for the fact that the other party was an elder and had ties with the Simmons Family, he would have flipped out on the spot.

"Did you agree to it?" Scarlett also showed a wry smile, feeling somewhat helpless.

Ian Douglas really went to any lengths to make her leave Matthew Saxon.
