Chapter 891: Only Because He Likes Her
Scarlett Yates was stunned for a few seconds, looking a bit dazed. She first let out an "oh," then nodded her head and said, "Then I won’t be polite, thank you, Senior."Regarding the security issues in Fort City, she knew a little; she had heard before that getting your bag snatched or being pickpocketed was very normal there. Although Fort City is an international metropolis, the presence of many foreign nationals makes management less convenient.
She also knew that staying at a hotel alone wasn’t very safe, but initially, she thought Rosie Wood was staying here too, which is why she suggested going outside to stay.
After all, compared to Rosie Wood, she’d rather face danger than face this woman who had once humiliated her and made her immensely embarrassed.
Hearing her say thank you again, Henry Dales’ eyes turned even darker, and he tugged at his lips, showing a faint smile at the corners of his mouth.
Her politeness and courtesy made him feel as if there was a deliberate distance between them.
The last thing he needed was her gratitude.
He wanted to be good to her, to take care of her, to help her, simply because he liked her.
Stella Nelson said she secretly loved him for three years.
But how could she have known he had liked her for three years too?
He really wanted to tell her that he developed a crush on her the first time they met.
That girl, out of breath and clutching his wallet, caught up to his car, tapped on his car window, and when he rolled it down, handed him the wallet with a blushing face; he remembered her vividly.
At that time, it was the registration days for new students at Saint Mercy, and the weather was still hot. She wore a very unfashionable floral dress, had a ponytail, and wore no makeup.
Blushing, she stammered to him, "Se-Senior, you dropped your wallet."
He was stunned and didn’t immediately reach out to take it, just quietly looked at her.
Her face turned even redder, biting her lips, looking very shy, she stammered again, "I never touched anything inside, and I don’t need any reward either."
He still didn’t speak but found her words amusing, so he gave her a smile.
Her eyes flickered intensely, then she threw the wallet into his car, said she had to go register, and quickly ran off.
That short, thin, and tacky figure, he still remembers to this day.

On the day Scarlett Yates disappeared, Maxwell Saxon had just left a dinner party when he received a call from Kiki.
Kiki was one of the six maids Maxwell Saxon had arranged to work at the seaside villa.
As soon as the call connected, before Maxwell Saxon could speak, he heard a sobbing voice.
Kiki was crying into the phone, "Young Master, Young Master, something terrible happened, Miss Yates is in trouble."
Maxwell Saxon’s head suddenly felt dizzy.
Perhaps it was because he had just had a few more drinks; his hand shook, and the phone almost fell to the ground.
He took a deep breath, trying hard to calm himself down, but listening to the sobs from the phone, his heart could no longer remain calm.
His heart was beating wildly, fast and hard.
Kiki was still crying, so sorrowful and out of breath, "This afternoon, Madame came, she and Uncle Thompson had someone take Miss Yates away."
"Madame threatened us, saying that if anyone told about this, they would have to bear the consequences. Everyone was very scared, and I was too. But I know Miss Yates is very important to you, Young Master. If I don’t let you know now, you will find out sooner or later anyway."
