Maxwell Saxon is still fundamentally different from those real beasts.

In the beginning, he didn’t resort to such drastic behavior.

It was because she rejected his request and said some hurtful things that he was provoked.

She thought speaking harshly and cruelly would make him give up, but she didn’t expect it to have the opposite effect.

Obviously, her hurtful words stimulated him, and he began to lose his reason.

Scarlett Yates’ mind was in chaos, and in that chaos, she forced herself to calm down slowly and think about a way to escape. She took several deep breaths, bit her lip, and softened her voice to say, "In my heart, you’re a really good person, a very emotional person. Otherwise, you wouldn’t still remember those things from childhood."

"You said you would never hurt me, and I keep those words in my heart. I also believe you won’t do anything to hurt me."

"I know my words just now might have been excessive, but I said them for your good."

Another low, cold laugh echoed, and Maxwell Saxon’s fingers that were gripping her jaw gently caressed along the shape of her jaw, his cold laugh tinged with a bit of sarcasm: "Oh? For my good?"

In the darkness, Scarlett nodded desperately, even though she knew he couldn’t see.

"Short pain is better than long pain. I just hope you can let go of this relationship. You know very well what kind of person Matthew Saxon is. His possessiveness is very strong, if he finds out..."

"Do you think with my current ability, I’m still not enough to compete with him, right?" The hand caressing her jaw halted, and Maxwell’s fingers, like a cold iron clamp, tightly gripped her jaw again, his deep laugh carrying a hint of chill.

In the pitch-black darkness, Scarlett couldn’t see his face, but she could imagine that his expression while coldly laughing must be very terrifying.

This laugh is spine-chilling cold.

"Or are you indirectly threatening me? Scarlett, do you think I would be afraid? After all, I’m his defeated opponent. If it wasn’t for his great mercy letting me off, I would still be locked up in the police station now, and very likely end up in prison in the future. He spared me, so I should feel lucky and then hurriedly pack up and leave Z City, the farther the better, to avoid falling into his hands again in the future."

"After all, as a defeated opponent, that’s the most sensible thing to do."

"But now I’m actually unafraid to provoke his woman, my behavior is simply reckless and audacious. Surely in your heart, you’re thinking, Maxwell Saxon, are you crazy? Do you not want to live anymore?"

"No, I wasn’t thinking that, really..." Scarlett was going mad.

She initially wanted Maxwell Saxon to slowly calm down, but she didn’t expect that her few words would further exacerbate his anger. The fingers gripping her jaw tightened bit by bit, as if wanting to crush her entire bone to powder.

Scarlett’s face turned pale from pain, cold sweat appearing on her forehead.

"Maxwell Saxon, I really didn’t think that, you misunderstood me, I just hope you can be a bit more rational, not act impulsively..."

"I’m very rational now, I’ve never been so rational." Her words were coldly interrupted by Maxwell, who laughed coldly repeatedly, "It’s because I considered your feelings too much, too afraid you would hate me, that allowed you to be taken away by Matthew Saxon."
