Chapter 672: Chapter 672: Is this money enough?
"Oh? What do you say?" Maxwell Saxon, used to such won, asked with a faint smile, his expression unchanged.
Scarlett Yates pouted, "I just told it as it was. I said you already have a beautiful fiancée, and she looked quite disappointed."
When ntioning Alice Green, Scarlett’s tone wasn’t very pleasant.
This woman, who almost killed her, was soone she would always resent.
"Oh, I see." Maxwell nodded understandingly, handing her the dication from the bag and carefully explaining the dosage and frequency. "Before applying the dicine, use a hot towel to cover the area for ten minutes, then apply the bruise ointnt. Do this three tis a day, don’t forget."
"And try not to move around too much in the next few days."
"Oh, I got it." Scarlett accepted the dication, putting it into her bag while taking out her wallet and looking up at him. "How much is the dicine?"
Maxwell was startled, then frowned slightly. "It didn’t cost much, no need to pay ."
"No way." Scarlett was firm in her tone. "Whatever it costs is what I should pay. I have no reason to take advantage of others for free."
Hearing the last part of her sentence, Maxwell was a bit displeased, frowning with a hint of annoyance in his expression.
By saying that, she was obviously treating him as an outsider.
"I said you don’t need to pay ." He looked at her red wallet, finding the color rather glaring.
"I also said I won’t take advantage of others for free." Scarlett was unsure of the exact cost of the dication.
If it were just a minor bruise ointnt, it shouldn’t be too expensive. After so thought, she took out two hundred yuan from her bag.
"Is this enough?" She handed the money to Maxwell solemnly.
Maxwell furrowed his brows tighter, looking down at the two hundred yuan, feeling a sense of frustration he couldn’t vent.
He didn’t move or speak, just frowned and quietly looked at her.
Scarlett also stayed still and silent, looking up at him quietly.
After a montary stare-down, Maxwell seed to concede, taking the money with a rather grim face. "It’s enough."
He pulled out just one note, then looked at her expressionlessly and said, "You’ve given too much."
Scarlett smiled, "Just consider it as the cab fare for taking
to the hospital."
Maxwell frowned deeply, "Do you really need to be so clear-cut with ?"
"What’s wrong with being a bit clear-cut?" Scarlett blinked, looking innocent.
"Then how will you repay
for saving you tonight?" He was genuinely angry, his thin lips tightly pressed and his cool eyes narrowing.
"This... I’ll definitely find a way to repay it." Scarlett was taken aback, like facing a dilemma, her brows furrowing.
The dical expense could be clearly settled, but for saving her, such a big favor, she really didn’t know how to repay it.
"What if I insist you repay it now, right now?"
"I..."
"Not everything needs to be accounted for so clearly," Maxwell wasn’t truly trying to force her but was just upset. Seeing her frown and unable to find words for a long ti, he sighed lightly, "I’ll accept the dical expense, but don’t settle anything else with ."

"Where do you live?" After helping Scarlett into the car, Maxwell locked the door.
Scarlett gave a place na.
She really wanted to say, don’t you already know? Why pretend to ask her?
