Scarlett Yates was startled, her face suddenly turning pale.
The sense of venting she had just established was instantly shattered by fright...
A person who dared to abduct her in broad daylight in front of everyone might very well kill and set fires too.
Before going in, she heard a woman's coquettish laughter coming from inside.
The laughter was like overly sweet white chocolate, and Scarlett Yates immediately got goosebumps.
--
"Young Master, Miss Yates has arrived."
The woman's laughter abruptly stopped.
Though it was daytime, the indoor lights were on, with European-style lamps hanging down from the ceiling on both sides, resembling the lavish palace lanterns hung at the corners of ancient palaces.
Alongside the swimming pool, two rows of bronze carved flower stands, and valuable paintings hung on the walls.
The most incredible thing Scarlett Yates found was that the ceiling was actually a large transparent aquarium!
By looking up, she could see various species of fish swimming above.
She felt like she was dreaming.
No, even in her dreams, such a scene would never appear.
The swimming pool was too large, making it feel very spacious.
Scarlett Yates immediately saw the man lying by the pool.
He lazily lay on the sofa placed by the pool, his perfect physique under the black bathrobe making one want to scream.
Beneath the deep-set brow, his slightly squinted, captivating almond-shaped eyes displayed a defiant indifference.
Those dangerous yet beautiful black eyes, akin to those of a leopard, fixed on her with a hint of inexplicable hostility.
The man's excessively handsome face made it difficult for people to look directly.
Scarlett Yates widened her eyes in surprise.
She knew this man.
She had known him for quite a long time.
Although in A City, Matthew Saxon was the most prominent of the four socialites with an exposure rate that everyone knew, Scarlett knew him for another reason.
He was her fiancé, whom she had never had any interaction with.
On the day Scarlett Yates turned 18, Mother and Father Yates informed her of the engagement with the Saxon Family.
Naturally, there was a token for the engagement, a Double Fish Jade Pendant. Scarlett Yates's piece was made into a jade pendant, worn around her neck since the day she was born.
The other piece was rumored to be with the third Young Master of the Saxon Family, Matthew Saxon.
Matthew Saxon was staring at her, and the women around him were staring at her too. If Matthew Saxon were a dangerous leopard, the women fawning over him were like wild cats, each with sharp eyes and unfriendly looks.

George led her over and as she got closer, Scarlett Yates realized that another woman in business attire stood behind Matthew Saxon.
"Scarlett Yates, I'm sure your parents have mentioned the betrothal between the Saxon Family and the Yates Family."
A woman with an alluring figure and gorgeous face was extending her dainty fingers, pressing them lightly on Matthew Saxon's head, estimated to be over 175 cm tall, resembling the runway models she had seen on TV.
There was a vague sense of familiarity, but she couldn't recall who she was.
Scarlett was astonished and ignored Matthew Saxon's opening remarks.
"Miss Yates, Miss Yates..." It wasn't until George gently kicked her foot that Scarlett Yates snapped back to reality, somewhat reluctant to tear her gaze away.
Beautiful, truly beautiful!
"Miss Yates, the Young Master is speaking to you." George suddenly had a strong intuition that something interesting might happen between this young naïve girl and the Young Master.
This was the first time the Young Master had been so thoroughly ignored, and by a woman!
