Chapter 1516: Chapter 1516: I’m Stuck with You for Life
"In a battle, the victor is king while the defeated are outlaws. The process and the means of achieving success are insignificant. As long as the result is what I desire, that’s all that matters."
"Scarlett, I’m calling you, not to argue, but just to remind you that it’s time to come back with me. The reason I returned to Z City was to pick you up." His tone was resolute and determined. His voice, full of magnetic charm, carried a hint of arrogance, as if he was certain she wouldn’t refuse.
Scarlett Yates erupted in anger: "Maxwell Saxon, damn you, you old sly devil. You can forget about me coming back with you."
She had never spoken such vulgar words to Maxwell Saxon.
She hadn’t used such foul language with anyone else.
But at this moment, it seemed only cursing could vent the rage in her heart.
"Scarlett, you’re swearing." Maxwell Saxon seemed a bit displeased, his voice darkened.
Scarlett Yates sneered, continuing to curse him relentlessly: "If you can do such inhumane things, are you afraid of being cursed? I haven’t even said nastier things yet, you are worse than a beast. You do such utterly unconscionable things, and you will face retribution. Heaven won’t spare you, be careful not to be struck by lightning and split into two, dying with no corpse."
She hadn’t spoken such malicious words to anyone.
Even back when Alice Green treated her that way, she hadn’t cursed maliciously.
But toward Maxwell Saxon, her hatred reached an extreme.
The call suddenly fell into silence.
Maxwell Saxon probably didn’t expect her to say such things, for a long while, he stayed quiet.
"Scarlett, do you hate me this much?" It’s unclear how long the silence lasted, maybe a minute, or perhaps longer. Maxwell Saxon’s voice slowly resonated again.
Scarlett Yates coldly said: "Why ask when you already know?"
After all the unforgivable things he did, he could still ask such a question, which was quite laughable.
Did he believe she had a masochistic nature, inherently liked being abused?
"Hate then." He seemed to sigh, then laughed again, "Even if you hate me, I still won’t let go of you. I’m latched onto you for life."
Latched onto her for life?
Scarlett Yates couldn’t help but shiver, the fear once again rose in her heart.
"Keep dreaming in broad daylight, Maxwell Saxon. Let me tell you, even if all the men in the world died and only you were left, I still wouldn’t consider you."
"Don’t speak too soon." He chuckled, his tone turned calm again, "If I wasn’t completely confident, do you think I would call you? To tell you the truth, the shot Matthew Saxon received won’t kill him. But compared to the aftermath of the poison, I think he would rather wish he could die."
"After all, turning from a perfectly fine person into a paralyzed wastrel, such a result would rather make him wish for death, wouldn’t it?"
As he spoke, he laughed aloud, seeming in a very good mood, his laughter genuinely joyful: "Scarlett, can you bear seeing him paralyzed?"
"What did you say?" Scarlett Yates’s breathing tightened, her face turned pale in an instant.
Maxwell Saxon laughed again, speaking at a leisurely pace: "Without the antidote, in a month, he’ll be paralyzed. Of course, before that, his body will gradually experience various problems. For instance, in the first few days, one of his hands will gradually become numb. A few days later, his other hand will also lose sensation. After a week, his upper body will be completely insensible, followed by his legs."
