Chapter 521: Chapter 521: Can someone let her go?

Scarlett Yates originally thought he was focused solely on the view outside the car window and couldn’t possibly notice her, but to her surprise, his observational skills were excellent. Even with his side turned to her, he could detect her movements.

"I..."

"The wind outside is a bit strong, I shouldn’t have opened the window." He turned around, gave her a slight smile, and then closed the window completely with one hand.

"Are you still cold?" He turned his head to look at her, asking politely and gentlemanly.

Scarlett wanted to say she wasn’t cold at all. In fact, not only was she not cold, but she was feeling quite hot. However, seeing that Maxwell Saxon had closed the window just for her, she couldn’t say anything else and just shook her head, smiling awkwardly, "Not cold anymore."

"That’s good. If you still feel cold, you can ask Uncle Thompson to turn on the heater." He kindly suggested.

"Really not cold anymore." Scarlett felt a few lines of sweat form on her forehead; the air inside the car was already stifling enough. If the heater were turned on, it would be unbearably suffocating.

Perhaps this opened up the conversation. Maxwell wasn’t as silent and uncommunicative as before. After confirming she was really not cold, he continued, "Do you know that woman?"

"The woman who attacked you at the hospital entrance," he added, as if afraid she wouldn’t know whom he was referring to.

Scarlett nodded, still feeling a twinge of fear as she recalled that scene.

"She’s my colleague, we’re in the same department."

"Colleague? Do you have a deep-seated hatred in private?"

At this point, Scarlett couldn’t help but smile wryly, shaking her head, "Actually, there’s no deep hatred between us, I never expected things to escalate to this point."

"Young Master, after she was sent to the police station, how will she be dealt with?"

Emmy Thompson’s crazy actions were probably a result of suddenly losing her sanity from the shock.

In that kind of situation, if it were someone else, they might have also wished to kill her like Emmy did.

A perfectly good family destroyed because of a small matter, who could remain calm when faced with such a situation?

Matthew Saxon, being capricious and willful, naturally didn’t care about others’ lives or deaths. Perhaps to him, punishing Emmy was nothing out of the ordinary, but for her, such punishment was unacceptable.

She knew what it was like for a perfectly good family to be destroyed.

She knew how painful life could be when a peaceful and beautiful existence is ruined.

But all this, the high-and-mighty Young Master Saxon, who thought only of himself, would never understand.

In his world, whenever he encountered something or someone that displeased him, he could use his power to punish them, believing there was nothing wrong with this.

For the first time, there was such a significant divide in their views.

"Intentional harm, the sentence won’t be light." Maxwell Saxon looked down at his injured hand, a brief coldness flashing across his eyes.

"Young Master, could you..." Scarlett hesitated for a few seconds, biting her lip, "could you let her go?"

She knew very well what imprisonment meant for a girl.

Everything stems from a reason. If the Thompson Family hadn’t gone bankrupt overnight, Emmy wouldn’t hate her so deeply.

The downfall of the Thompson Family was already miserable enough.

If Emmy also had to go to jail, her life would truly be ruined.

Going to jail would leave a criminal record, an indelible stain for a lifetime.
