<h4>Chapter 872: Chapter 872: What If I Fall Out of Love?</h4>


    She furrowed her brows, "He only gave me an hour."


    "Listen to me, Scarlett." With time running short, Matthew Saxon stopped being affectionate with her, smoothed her hair, kissed the back of her hand, and his expression turned serious, "You’ll be safe staying with Maxwell Saxon. When you return, make sure to eat well, sleep well, and have some fun. As long as his requests aren’t too excessive, try to cooperate with him. From what I know of him, as long as you don’t provoke him, he’ll still be a gentleman in front of you."


    "Remember to think of me, but not too much, ten times a day will do."


    Thinking about leaving made Scarlett a little sad, but hearing his words, she couldn’t helpughing, "Greedy."


    Matthew said earnestly, "Also, no matter how nice Maxwell Saxon is to you, you mustn’t have a change of heart. He’s great at sweet-talking; don’t believe a word he says."


    Scarlett couldn’t help but joke with him, "What if I do have a change of heart?"


    Matthew curled his lips and jokingly said, "Then I’ll ruin you. What I can’t have, no one else can."


    At the time, it seemed like just a joke, and no one took it seriously.


    Because some things, no one expected to really happen.


    --


    An hour passed quickly.


    Someone came promptly to urge Scarlett to leave.


    A small incident urred as Scarlett was leaving.


    Alice Green, who had been crying, suddenly rushed towards her, somehow producing a knife, waving it around and saying she wanted to die together with her.


    As she frantically charged at Scarlett, the man in sunsses pulled out a gun.


    The cold gun barrel aimed at her head.


    Alice feared death.


    But at that moment, driven by intense hatred and resentment, she dared to recklessly continue forward.


    The man in sunsses was momentarily stunned.


    Probably didn’t expect that Alice wasn’t even afraid of the gun.


    Before receiving any instructions from Maxwell Saxon, he dared not really silence Alice.


    Stunned by Alice’s reckless behavior, he had only one thought in mind, which was to protect Scarlett.


    If anything happened to Scarlett, he wouldn’t be able to answer to Maxwell Saxon.


    So, after hesitating for a few seconds, the man in sunsses fired a shot.


    That shot hit Alice’s leg.


    Walking far from the small building, Scarlett could still hear Alice’s piercing cries and curses.


    The further away she got, the more terrifying that sound became, sending chills down one’s spine.


    An hour is very brief, but from this trip, Scarlett found some peace of mind.


    Upon returning, she did as Matthew advised, ate and slept well, and no longer repeated the same nightmares at night.


    Maxwell Saxon called her every day, not for long, sometimes talking for a few minutes, sometimes just three or five sentences.


    Seeing their conversations getting shorter, Scarlett was sure he was really, really busy.


    After returning from a business trip to A Country, Maxwell Saxon bought a gift for Scarlett. Although she had said from the beginning that she didn’t need anything, he still bought her a bottle of perfume.


    The maid handed the perfume to Scarlett with envy, saying, "Miss Yates, this bottle of perfume was specially blended for you by the Young Master. You can’t buy it outside; the Young Master is really thoughtful toward you."
