Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 672: Is this money enough?
"Oh? What do you say?" Maxwell Saxon, used to such women, asked with a faint smile, his expression unchanged.
Scarlett Yates pouted, "I just told it as it was. I said you already have a beautiful fiancée, and she looked quite disappointed."
When mentioning Alice Green, Scarlett’s tone wasn’t very pleasant.
This woman, who almost killed her, was someone she would always resent.
"Oh, I see." Maxwell nodded understandingly, handing her the medication from the bag and carefully explaining the dosage and frequency. "Before applying the medicine, use a hot towel to cover the area for ten minutes, then apply the bruise ointment. Do this three times a day, don’t forget."
"And try not to move around too much in the next few days."
"Oh, I got it." Scarlett accepted the medication, putting it into her bag while taking out her wallet and looking up at him. "How much is the medicine?"
Maxwell was startled, then frowned slightly. "It didn’t cost much, no need to pay me."
"No way." Scarlett was firm in her tone. "Whatever it costs is what I should pay. I have no reason to take advantage of others for free."
Hearing the last part of her sentence, Maxwell was a bit displeased, frowning with a hint of annoyance in his expression.
By saying that, she was obviously treating him as an outsider.
"I said you don’t need to pay me." He looked at her red wallet, finding the color rather glaring.
"I also said I won’t take advantage of others for free." Scarlett was unsure of the exact cost of the medication. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
If it were just a minor bruise ointment, it shouldn’t be too expensive. After some thought, she took out two hundred yuan from her bag.
"Is this enough?" She handed the money to Maxwell solemnly.
Maxwell furrowed his brows tighter, looking down at the two hundred yuan, feeling a sense of frustration he couldn’t vent.
He didn’t move or speak, just frowned and quietly looked at her.
Scarlett also stayed still and silent, looking up at him quietly.
After a momentary stare-down, Maxwell seemed to concede, taking the money with a rather grim face. "It’s enough."
He pulled out just one note, then looked at her expressionlessly and said, "You’ve given too much."
Scarlett smiled, "Just consider it as the cab fare for taking me to the hospital."
Maxwell frowned deeply, "Do you really need to be so clear-cut with me?"
"What’s wrong with being a bit clear-cut?" Scarlett blinked, looking innocent.
"Then how will you repay me for saving you tonight?" He was genuinely angry, his thin lips tightly pressed and his cool eyes narrowing.
"This... I’ll definitely find a way to repay it." Scarlett was taken aback, like facing a dilemma, her brows furrowing.
The medical expense could be clearly settled, but for saving her, such a big favor, she really didn’t know how to repay it.
"What if I insist you repay it now, right now?"
"I..."
"Not everything needs to be accounted for so clearly," Maxwell wasn’t truly trying to force her but was just upset. Seeing her frown and unable to find words for a long time, he sighed lightly, "I’ll accept the medical expense, but don’t settle anything else with me."

"Where do you live?" After helping Scarlett into the car, Maxwell locked the door.
Scarlett gave a place name.
She really wanted to say, don’t you already know? Why pretend to ask her?
