Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Let’s see how he handles it then!
"Miss Green, you’re overthinking this."
Scarlett felt uncomfortable, and naturally, her tone wasn’t any better. She said coldly, "I haven’t misunderstood anything. If you think I have, that just shows you’ve already admitted the ambiguity between you and the Young Master. If there’s truly nothing inappropriate, why worry about misunderstandings?"
After speaking, she gave a sarcastic smile, "Though I trust Miss Green’s character and believe that the relationship between you two is as pure as a white lotus, I can’t guarantee what others might think. After all, Miss Green, you’re in the entertainnt industry, a public figure. Every move is watched by countless eyes. Who knows if so paparazzi might be following you, and in their eagerness for headlines, could embellish and distort tonight’s events. At that point, even if Miss Green had a hundred mouths, you couldn’t explain it away."
As she spoke, she provocatively looked at Matthew Saxon.
Her expressive eyes were full of mockery, as if telling him, Matthew Saxon, it’s shaful that you’d get involved with your future sister-in-law. Be careful not to cause a scandal that you won’t be able to handle!
If it were any other future sister-in-law, it might be okay. But this one just happens to be a famous actress.
Tsk tsk, such a famous actress, who probably can’t even go to the bathroom without being watched, and yet he has the nerve to publicly embrace her in the hallway.
If, by accident, soone captures it, let’s see how he cleans up the ss!
Scarlett initially thought her barbed remarks at Alice would provoke Matthew Saxon, but unexpectedly, Matthew rely offered a smile of unclear intent without any further response.
Scarlett was utterly shocked.
Isn’t Alice Green the woman he loves?
Seeing the woman he loves being attacked by her, shouldn’t he stand up to defend her?
Why... is it completely different from what she expected?
What Scarlett was thinking, Alice Green was thinking as well.
After being attacked, she first looked at Matthew Saxon with teary, pitiful eyes, fully expecting him to say sothing in her defense. But who would have thought that not only did he pretend not to see her pleading gaze, but he also nodded in agreent with Scarlett’s words.
Alice Green was stunned, full of disbelief.
She choked with extre grievance, "Matthew, I’m sorry. Miss Yates is right. I was thoughtless and didn’t consider the trouble it would cause you. But I was genuinely terrified at the ti, my mind went blank, I truly didn’t do it on purpose."
As she spoke, she started to tear up... again.
Oh heavens!
Scarlett, watching, marveled silently. How could she be like a reservoir, with tears falling so easily? After crying so much already, it still wasn’t enough.
Before, seeing her cry so heartbreakingly, Scarlett thought her tear-streaked visage was quite pitiable. But crying at the drop of a hat, looking like a weeping statue, after so many tis, it just beca tireso.
But this trick seed to work well on Matthew Saxon.
The mont Alice Green started crying, he sighed and offered her a handkerchief, his voice softening, "I don’t bla you. Don’t cry anymore."
As Alice took the handkerchief, she turned to look at Scarlett with a hint of triumph in her eyes.
She wiped her tears, wearing a self-reproachful expression, guiltily saying, "But Miss Yates seems very angry. Matthew, I... I should just leave... If I stay here, Miss Yates won’t be happy."
