Chapter 911: I Have No Other Choice

He said he wouldn’t bring it up, and sure enough, he didn’t."Maxwell Saxon, do you think you can definitely succeed?" Scarlett Yates suddenly asked.

Maxwell Saxon was startled, lowered his head, his eyes unclear as he looked at her.

Scarlett Yates also raised her head to look at him, "Do you think you can definitely get the Saxon Clan? If you fail in the end, have you thought about what the consequences would be?"

She never thought she would ask such a question, surprise flashed in Maxwell Saxon’s eyes, and he stared at her for a moment, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his lips, "Victory or defeat, if I fail, I am willing to bear all the consequences."

Scarlett Yates blinked and asked again, "No matter what the cost?"

He did not hesitate, nodded and said, "No matter the cost, Scarlett, I told you long ago, I have no choice."

His smile carried a hint of helplessness, he lightly sighed, giving him a bit of an old-soul feel for his age, "Dad will eventually hand the Saxon Clan over to Matthew, actually, although he accepted my mom and me, he has always been guarding against me secretly, so even if I enter the Saxon Clan, I have little real power."

"He’s afraid that once I have more power, it will pose a threat to Matthew."

"He’s afraid I would seize the Saxon Clan, so, at most, in another two years, he will hand the company over to Matthew, and by then, with Matthew in control of everything at Saxon, life for my mom and me will only become more difficult."

"Although I entered the Saxon Family in my teens, and it’s been more than a decade since, I still feel like I’m living under someone else’s roof."

Speaking of this, Maxwell Saxon’s gaze fixed firmly on Scarlett Yates, seriously asking, "Scarlett, can you understand how difficult it feels to live under someone else’s roof? You always have to be mindful of others’ expressions and act accordingly, constantly thinking about how to please them, only then can you live a better life."

"But one day, when you realize no matter how well you behave, no matter how you try to please them, they still don’t consider you one of them, and are constantly wary of you, what would you think?"

"And another person, he’s his son just like you, yet he doesn’t need to make any effort and can get everything you dream of, how would you feel?"

"Scarlett, some things, which you haven’t personally experienced, you can never understand the pain within."

"The glory and honor in the eyes of outsiders are nothing but a façade, if it weren’t for being compelled, I would never want to take this step."

"Of course, I’m not telling you all this to seek your understanding and sympathy, I just wanted to express it as these words have been bottled up too long, now I feel much relieved."

Scarlett Yates remained silent.

She didn’t know what she should say.

Yes, some things, those not personally experienced, can never truly understand the holder’s psyche.

If she were an outsider, she wouldn’t blame him either.

It’s just that this struggle involves two people she cares about, so she can’t completely stay out of it.

She might be able to understand Maxwell Saxon’s predicament, but she cannot agree with his methods.

As for Maxwell Saxon.

He had shown her kindness a few times, and hadn’t done anything to harm her, truthfully, she didn’t hate him.

Although she was angry at him because of May Denton and Uncle Thompson, she actually knew very well that Maxwell Saxon was not involved, if he knew, he would definitely stop it.
