Chapter 1139: Chapter 1139: You’re Going, Aren’t You?

"Of course, I hope it’s just the two of us. After all, some things aren’t convenient to tell others."

Matthew Saxon squinted his eyes and stared at her for a while, a hint of inquiry in his narrow eyes. After a moment, he tightened his brow and called the security out again.

Alice Green knew he believed her words, and he was tempted, which made her even prouder. She curled her lips into a coquettish smile and glanced at Scarlett Yates, but spoke to Matthew Saxon: "I’ll wait for you outside."

After speaking, she didn’t linger, casting a provocative glance at Scarlett before turning and walking out.

"Wait."

Matthew Saxon hadn’t spoken all along. When Alice Green was already at the door, he asked in a cold voice: "Is everything you said true? If you’re lying to me, you know what the consequences will be."

Alice Green was startled, with a slight change in her expression, but she quickly recovered to normal. She turned her head and met his eyes without any guilt, affirming, "I won’t lie to you. This time, I hope to make up for the mistakes I’ve made."

Matthew Saxon fell silent for a few seconds and didn’t say whether he would go or not, only saying lightly: "You can go out now."

Given Alice Green’s understanding of him, this meant he agreed to her request.

She couldn’t help feeling a bit smug; see, she really did understand him well, didn’t she?

No matter how indifferent he seemed to Roy Saxon before, it was only superficial. She knew he couldn’t really not care about Roy Saxon’s life or death.

As long as he still cared about Roy Saxon, it meant she had a favorable bargaining chip.

This bargaining chip could be exchanged for many things for her.

After Alice Green left—

Matthew Saxon looked at Scarlett Yates, and Scarlett looked back at him. freewebnøvel.coɱ

He hadn’t spoken yet, but his eyes already held a trace of apology. His sensuous thin lips moved slightly, and he spoke in a low voice, "Scarlett, I..."

"You want to go, don’t you?" Scarlett helped him finish the difficult words.

Earlier, as she watched from the side, she already knew Matthew Saxon was tempted.

Although he didn’t explicitly say whether he’d go or not, his lack of clear refusal was an answer in itself.

Not refusing meant he silently agreed.

Scarlett felt a lump in her heart; the heavy weight that pressed on her heart earlier was still there. She almost forgot about it, and now, under Matthew Saxon’s apologetic gaze and hesitant expression, she remembered it again.

Her heart felt heavy and stifled.

More stifled than before, even more unbearable, but she couldn’t show it because it involved Roy Saxon.

Matthew Saxon’s lips moved again, silent for a few seconds, his face showing an apologetic expression, and he nodded slightly: "Yes, Scarlett, I must go."

The expected answer, Scarlett still fell silent for a moment and sighed: "Isn’t Uncle Saxon’s condition improving? Didn’t you say he’d be back in Z City in a few days? Matthew Saxon, are you hiding something from me?"

This last question was almost a statement.

In fact, Scarlett had long had some suspicion. According to Matthew Saxon, Roy Saxon had already passed the critical period and was recovering, so why didn’t he come back earlier?

Given Seymour’s current situation, it would be beneficial for Roy Saxon to return a day earlier, to appear in the public eye sooner.

At the very least, it could calm many people’s hearts.
