Maxwell Saxon smiled, as if watching a child throwing a tantrum, his eyes carrying a hint of helplessness and indulgence: "Things are achievable through human endeavor. Sincere intentions can move mountains. Even if someone doesn't care about you, you can find ways to make them care. As long as you strive for what you want, most of the time, the outcome is good."
"What I want, I will pursue with all my might."
When he spoke of what he wanted, his eyes were fixed intently on Scarlett Yates.
Scarlett felt a tightness in her chest, angered by the unabashed possessiveness shown in his eyes, she sneered, biting her words: "But some things are simply not yours, even if you claim them for a lifetime, it's useless."
"How would you know if it's futile, without even trying?" In contrast to her anger, he wore a serene and indifferent expression. This comparison made Scarlett seem like a child rebelling before an adult.
