Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 748: I’d Better Not Go

She felt she owed Maxwell Saxon an apology.

She had promised to attend the evening party with him, but then she pulled a stunt like this.

She could imagine that if she really showed up at the party looking like this, not only would she embarrass herself, but she would also embarrass Maxwell Saxon.

The cheap perfume scent, the cheap makeup smell were so strong that even she found it unpleasant.

Initially, she didn’t quite agree with this plan.

But Angela had sworn that once Maxwell Saxon saw her looking like a ghost, he would certainly not take her along.

Things didn’t go as they imagined, and Scarlett Yates started to become uneasy.

There was no way she could attend the evening party looking like this. She had just learned from Uncle Thompson that tonight was the A City’s mayor’s birthday banquet. It was such an important occasion, dressed like this, she’d completely ruin the scene.

She didn’t have to agree with Maxwell Saxon; he didn’t force her.

"Maxwell Saxon, I have something to say," Scarlett Yates broke the silence.

Maxwell Saxon turned to look at her. He remained unfazed despite seeing her ghoulish appearance, and Scarlett truly admired him for that.

This man’s inner world was indeed strong.

Scarlett Yates took a deep breath and tugged at her hair: "I think I’d better not go."

"Why?"

He actually asked why?!

"Don’t you think it’d be embarrassing to go with me?" Scarlett Yates tugged at her full head of curls again, sincerely admitting her wrongs to him, "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done this on purpose. I promised to go with you, but then I backed out at the last minute and deliberately made myself look like this to make you give up taking me."

"I know tonight’s banquet is important, and I can’t irresponsibly go with you; it would be causing trouble for you." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"So, there’s still time for you to change your companion."

She felt much lighter after stammering through all of this.

"Changing companions at the last minute is not as easy as you say, besides, since I invited you, I won’t switch halfway." Seeing her good attitude in acknowledging her mistake, Maxwell Saxon seemed pleased as he curled his lips in a smile.

"But..." Scarlett Yates frowned at him, touched her face, "I might scare others."

Maxwell Saxon looked down at her face, which resembled a palette, paused for thought, and then smiled, "There’s still time to change your image."

As he spoke, he lifted his wrist to check his watch: "Uncle Thompson, change the route to X Street."

Ten minutes later, at the largest and most famous high-end image design salon in A City.

The image stylist, having received a call, cleared his schedule and waited.

As soon as Scarlett Yates got out of the car, she was surrounded and escorted by several tall, gorgeous women to the image transformation specialist.

"Oh my God, how did you make such a mess of yourself," a man with his pinky raised gasped, covering his mouth in shock as he stared at Scarlett Yates.

"You have twenty minutes."

Outside, Maxwell Saxon issued a rather challenging command: "In twenty minutes, I need to take her to attend the banquet."

The man raised his pinky again and exclaimed, "Twenty minutes? My dear Young Master Saxon, you’re giving me quite the challenge. Look at her face, and this hair, if you want me to make her look beautiful again, two hours would be more like it."

"You only have twenty minutes. Now, you have only nineteen minutes left." Maxwell Saxon couldn’t be bothered with idle chatter, tossed out his demands, and turned to wait outside.
