Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 516: Shouldn’t Be So Ruthless

This was a veiled admission.

It was indeed him, truly him.

Scarlett Yates barely held back her anger, which almost erupted again.

She stood by the window, opened it fully, and let the wind from outside blow on her face: "Why did you do this?"

She took a deep breath, bit her lip, and tried to speak to him in the calmest voice possible: "Even if Emmy Thompson made a mistake, firing her is punishment enough. Why drive the Thompson Family to bankruptcy? Do you know what such a change means for a family? Do you know how devastating such a blow is?"

"If Emmy did something wrong, it was only speaking carelessly out of jealousy."

"If you ruin someone just for saying unpleasant things, then, if I told you I knew who nearly killed me back then, does that mean you would want that person’s life?"

After learning about the isolation from Olivia Smith, Scarlett immediately searched for related news.

Almost every news platform reported the bankruptcy of the Thompson Family overnight.

The official reason for the bankruptcy, of course, couldn’t be the real reason, only stating it was the consequence of a new Seymour Group strategy and claiming internal issues at Thompson Clan Corporation made it so vulnerable.

But these surface reasons were for those ignorant of the truth.

Those who knew the real reason would only sneer after reading it.

It’s said that Emmy Thompson had already caused a scene at the hospital last night.

At that time, the news of the Thompson Family’s bankruptcy wasn’t officially announced yet, so that people at Saint Mercy knew the truth, realizing the bankruptcy was only due to a minor altercation.

After Scarlett Yates finished her low growl through gritted teeth, Matthew Saxon was silent for a while before speaking again, his tone now even colder: "Are you blaming me?"

"I know the Saxon Family is powerful, able to make life unbearable with a flick of a finger. I also know Emmy Thompson said things she shouldn’t have yesterday, offending you, but..."

"But I shouldn’t be so ruthless and cold-hearted, ruining her family over something trivial, right?" Matthew Saxon let out a cold laugh, taking the words she hadn’t finished and saying them instead.

"Yes." Scarlett Yates was silent for a few seconds, then replied.

"I’ve always been this way." Matthew Saxon let out another cold laugh, his tone unkind, "What, when you decided to be with me, you didn’t take the time to understand me?"

"Now you find me cruel, cold, and ruthless?"

"So what do you plan to do? Break up with this cold and ruthless person for the sake of your beloved colleague?"

When the word "break up" came out of Matthew Saxon’s mouth, Scarlett Yates’s heart suddenly sank.

"Scarlett Yates, I have things to do. If there’s nothing important, don’t call me again." With that, he hung up the phone.

As soon as Matthew Saxon hung up, Scarlett vaguely heard a familiar voice.

It was a woman’s voice, the voice of the woman who nearly killed her.

Is he with Alice Green?

Listening to the continuous busy tone from the phone, Scarlett Yates’s heart sank little by little, plunging into an icy abyss.

She stood alone by the window for a long time, motionless.

Her heart fell into an icy abyss, her limbs as if frozen, cold, bone-chillingly cold.
