Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 673: There Was a Misunderstanding
A man like him, wanting to know her information, wouldn’t that be a piece of cake?
He came to A City specifically to find her, isn’t it impossible for him not to first find out where she lives?
Still, she’s too lazy to expose him.
"Oh, that’s a nice neighborhood," Maxwell Saxon kept up the act, "The rent must be expensive, right?"
Pretend, keep pretending, she wants to see how long he can keep it up.
Scarlett Yates rolled her eyes where he couldn’t see and said with a curl of her lips, "It is quite expensive, but the hospital reimburses it, so I don’t have to pay anything."
Matthew Saxon smiled faintly and slowly started the engine, "The hospital benefits are indeed good, it seems like you’re quite satisfied with this hospital."
"Yes, very satisfied." With such good benefits, such a great work environment, what right does she have to be picky?
"So, you’re planning to live here for good?" Maxwell Saxon circled around the point, asking directly.
Scarlett glanced at him, "Of course, it’s nice here, I like this place."
"You left Z City because I told you it was my father who caused your parents’ death. You had to break up with Matthew and, heartbroken, decided to start a new life somewhere else, right?" Maxwell Saxon’s voice was cool but extremely appealing, once again touching on the pain in her heart with a breezy tone.
Scarlett thought of what he had said at the hospital.
She felt it was time to get to the bottom of it.
"You said you came this time because of my parents’ issue, what’s going on exactly?"
Maxwell Saxon fell silent.
The car’s interior was quiet, as was the road they had driven on. This silence lasted for a moment, then he said, "I was mistaken, Scarlett. In fact, it wasn’t Dad who caused your parents’ death. He wasn’t aware of it; it was someone under his command acting on their own."
Scarlett widened her eyes in shock.
She didn’t speak, but Maxwell Saxon could tell she was listening intently. After a pause, organizing his thoughts, he continued, "That person was indeed a close associate of Dad, loyal to him. On the surface, it seemed like he acted on Dad’s orders, but I’ve recently discovered some information that makes me think I was wrong from the start."
How could it be...
Scarlett looked at him blankly, "But those pieces of evidence..."
"The evidence is real." Maxwell Saxon slowed the car down, then pulled over.
The dense branches and leaves of the sycamore trees blocked the moonlight and the streetlights, forming a huge shadow.
The black Maybach parked in the shadow.
The wind blew, and the leaves of the sycamore trees above rustled together, making a shushing sound.
In this rustling sound, Maxwell Saxon slowly said, "There was just a misunderstanding in the middle, Scarlett, haven’t you ever been curious why Dad would pay off the favor with money but use his most precious son’s lifelong happiness to settle it instead?"
"Haven’t you thought his feelings towards you are quite special? Even though it had been over twenty years without seeing you, once you moved into the Saxon Family, you received the best treatment. He treated you like his own daughter with love and care. Haven’t you found that strange?"
How could she not.
From the first time she saw Roy Saxon, she found it strange.
The way Roy Saxon looked at her was odd. She couldn’t pinpoint what was off, but that gaze was certainly not one a normal elder would give to a younger person.
