Matthew Saxon tightened his arms even more, his voice growing colder, "What does his life or death have to do with you? What, he just thought it would be fun, randomly calling you his sister, and you truly took him to heart?"
"Scarlett Yates, can you be any more foolish? Are you that easy to deceive?"
Scarlett was held tightly by him, worried about Knox Simmons's situation but unable to check on him. Anxiously, she yelled at him, "Isn't he your good friend? How can you not be worried about him? You knew he was afraid of being caught and yet you deliberately deceived him, giving him no time to escape. Is this how you treat your friends?"
The voice above grew even colder, and Matthew smiled though his expression remained unchanged, continuing, "That brat dared to have designs on you; why would I let him off easily? He brought this upon himself."
Scarlett was stunned for a moment, and when Matthew wasn't watching her, her expression became briefly complicated.
