Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 740: The Only Person I Love Is You

"Ma’am, he’s really not my boyfriend."

"You young folks always say that when you have a little tiff. You say he’s not, but when you make up, you’re calling each other hubby and wifey."

The older woman earnestly lectured her for a while, then turned to Maxwell Saxon and gave him a piece of her mind too.

By the time they reached the elevator.

Keeping some distance behind, Maxwell insisted that she remain within his sight, so he stood with Scarlett Yates downstairs waiting for the elevator.

Who knows what the older woman said to him, but after being "educated" by her, Maxwell Saxon walked over to Scarlett with a look of amused helplessness on his face.

Act like he’s not here, act like he’s not here...

When he’s out of sight, she really could pretend he didn’t exist.

But now Maxwell Saxon was standing right beside her, and trying to ignore him on purpose just felt a bit awkward.

Once they got into the elevator, with just the two of them inside, the awkward atmosphere intensified in that confined space.

Scarlett Yates’ gaze darted up and down, flying everywhere except towards Maxwell Saxon.

"Was that woman your neighbor earlier?" Maxwell Saxon broke the silence, asking when the elevator reached the third floor.

Scarlett Yates initially didn’t want to respond to him.

However, Maxwell Saxon didn’t seem to require an answer and continued, "She’s not a very good person, try to interact with her less in the future."

Huh?

Scarlett Yates finally looked him in the eye, frowned, and said a bit unhappily, "What are you talking about? That lady’s quite nice usually. Angela and I have even had meals at her place a few times."

"So, you think she’s nice to you?" Maxwell Saxon scoffed, "Do you know what she just told me?"

Scarlett Yates sensed something off in his tone and frowned, "What did she say?"

Maxwell Saxon also frowned slightly, with a trace of disdain, "She said you’re not a good woman, told me to break up with you and get together with her smart, pretty, and gracious daughter."

What?!

Scarlett Yates was stunned.

That woman who seemed so nice ordinarily actually said that about her?

Didn’t she usually say she liked her, that seeing her was like seeing her own daughter?

She even mentioned that her daughter studied abroad, leaving her quite bored, so she invited her and Angela to visit, always welcoming them warmly.

Scarlett Yates was speechless for a few seconds.

So, this was what it meant by having one face in front of people and another behind their backs, she had learned firsthand.

Playing a thoughtful matron in front of her, yet turning into an old hag behind her back.

Not happy inside, Scarlett Yates couldn’t help but sarcastically comment to Maxwell Saxon, "The Saxon family’s Young Master sure is charming, people just need one glance to want to send their daughters your way."

Maxwell Saxon chuckled, "Even though she’s eager to send her daughter over, I told her that the one I love is only you, and in this lifetime, I won’t consider anyone else but you. So she stopped saying anything."

Ding—

The elevator arrived.

Scarlett Yates was exasperated, "Maxwell Saxon."

Maxwell Saxon lowered his head seriously and said earnestly, "Scarlett, that’s my sincere feeling."

"You..."

"Scarlett, the elevator’s here."

Out of the elevator, Scarlett Yates decided she would never speak another word to this hypocrite.

Yet outside the room, even as she took out her key, she saw Maxwell Saxon still standing beside her.
