Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 675: I Want to Pursue You

Speaking of this, Maxwell Saxon turned his head to look at her: "Aunt Douglas made a scene and secretly found that woman, teaching her a lesson in her own way. When Dad found out, it was the first time he had a big fight with her, and afterward, he didn’t come home for two consecutive months."

"That’s how the conflict began. The colder Dad was to her, the more she wanted to find trouble with that woman. Their conflicts increased as a result. Aunt Douglas had never suffered any grievance since she was young, and in the long-term quarrels, she slowly developed depression, eventually reaching a point where medication could no longer control it."

"Finally, she committed suicide."

The story seemed to have ended, but Maxwell Saxon continued to look at her intently and said word by word, "A perfect woman like Aunt Douglas easily made men fall in love with her. Dad’s most trusted subordinate was deeply in love with her. After her death, he blamed her death on the woman Dad liked, and later, he orchestrated that car accident."

"Scarlett, the woman Dad loved was your mother, Autumn Spencer."

"That car accident was Dad’s confidant avenging Aunt Douglas."

The night was very quiet.

Scarlett Yates’s heart began to race.

Thump thump, beating so powerfully.

Her body fell back, collapsing onto the soft cushion.

Her mind buzzed with a humming sound, and after a brief blank, she looked up in shock, her eyes wide, staring at Maxwell Saxon.

It was like she had heard an absurd fairy tale.

The truth turned from Roy Saxon harming her parents to her mother indirectly causing Matthew Saxon’s mother’s death.

Isn’t that ridiculous?

"Maxwell Saxon, stop talking nonsense. Naomi’s death has nothing to do with my mom. Don’t think you can make up stories just because the people involved are no longer here."

"Whether I’m making it up or not, you can verify it."

Maxwell Saxon knew she wouldn’t believe it easily.

"Because Dad couldn’t marry your mom as he wished, he hoped his son could marry you. This was to fulfill one of his wishes. Otherwise, do you think the Saxon Family would arrange a betrothal with an ordinary family with no background, just because your mom saved him?"

"A life-saving grace can be repaid in many ways; there’s no need to use his son for repayment."

Scarlett suddenly felt that what he said might all be true.

But she didn’t want to admit it.

What was she supposed to admit? Admit that she was the one Matthew Saxon should truly hate? Because her mother destroyed what was originally a happy family?

"Why are you telling me this? Isn’t it your intention to separate me and Matthew Saxon?"

"I also lied to you once." His expression shifted slightly, and a profound look appeared in his eyes. "I do want to break you and Matthew apart, but it’s not because of Alexis."

"Then... then for what?" She unknowingly clenched her hands, nervously biting her lip.

"I want to pursue you."

"Maxwell Saxon, that’s not funny at all."

"I’m serious." His deep black eyes fixedly stared at her, a faint bright light flickered within them, making her uneasy.

She frowned, a tinge of annoyance in her eyes: "Maxwell Saxon, do you even know what you’re saying? You already have a fiancée, yet you say such things to another woman. Don’t you find your behavior excessive?"

"You mean Alice?" His thin lips, with a hint of hardness, curled slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile, "She soon won’t be my fiancée anymore."
