<h4>Chapter 874: Chapter 874: Madam, Priorities First</h4>


    After speaking, her red lips curled up slightly, as if she were smiling, but her voice grew colder: "I told Sir a long time ago, the poorest women are the most indiscreet, they cling to whoever has money. But he didn’t believe me and got angry with me. Now look, where did I go wrong? Isn’t she just a shameless gold digger?"


    Uncle Thompson paused for a moment and replied, "Young Master is someone who does great things, seldom has women around him. It’s understandable that he couldn’t resist temptation."


    "You’re right. Maxwell isn’t like that little bastard. Although he has plenty of women around him, he managespany affairs very well, but in matters of love, hecks experience. When met with a woman with impure intentions, it’s normal to be tempted."


    Uncle Thompson added, "Therefore, before Young Master loses more of his rationality to her, Madam should cut her losses in time."


    From this back-and-forth conversation, Scarlett Yates understood some things.


    For example, why May Denton knew she was here, and why Uncle Thompson apanied her.


    Scarlett’s heart suddenly sank.


    She was well aware of how much May Denton despised her.


    Now, this woman who utterly loathed her believed she had seduced Maxwell Saxon, and with Uncle Thompson’s assistance, confirmed her supposed guilt further.


    Matthew had warned her from the first time she visited the Saxon Family to keep her distance from Maxwell, or else May Denton would trouble her.


    Scarlett hadn’t experienced May Denton’s tactics.


    But she knew very well how vicious Alexis Denton could be.


    She believed thatpared to Alexis, May Denton’s methods would only be more ruthless.


    Scarlett put down her book and jumped off the windowsill.


    She was still in her pajamas, unsure how long Maxwell intended to keep her confined here. Since the first day she moved in, he had bought her a plethora of clothes.


    The expensive and fashionable clothes in the wardrobe were mostly unworn, with the tags still hanging on them.


    Staying here all day, there was no point in wearing those beautiful clothes.


    Having just woken up from a nap, her hair was a mess, and she hadn’t had a chance to put on undergarments. In May Denton’s eyes, she looked even more like a seductive temptress.


    Thinking about how she had once taken on so much from Roy Saxon, and now daring to seduce her son, May Denton was furious. She stepped forward quickly and pped Scarlett across the face.


    May had wanted to p her for a long time.


    But back then, with Roy and Matthew protecting her, May could do nothing and had to endure patiently.


    Now the situation was different, so May vented all the frustrations she’d suffered under Roy and Matthew onto her.


    Unsatisfied with just one p, she raised her hand to strike another, but Uncle Thompson came over to stop her.


    "Madam, business first."


    "Hmph, seeing that coquettish face of hers just makes me angry." Uncle Thompson had influence with May Denton and, after listening to him, she gritted her teeth, cursed a few words at Scarlett, and withdrew her hand.


    That p just now, Scarlett had taken it hard.


    She didn’t dodge. The pnded and left a bloody taste in her mouth.


    She was on their turf. Where could she possibly hide?
