Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 790: Selling You a Piece of News

Matthew Saxon was very dissatisfied with her remark, and said coldly, "I’m here to get my money back. Your good friend was robbed an hour ago and got injured. I took her to the hospital, and she owes me for medical expenses. You can pay the money back for her now."

"What, Scarlett was robbed?" Stella was stunned, staring at Scarlett in disbelief. "Is this true?"

Scarlett nodded.

"Stella, my bag was snatched, my phone and wallet are in it. Please help me pay the medical bill first." On the way there, Scarlett was struggling with conflicting emotions.

At times she hoped time would pass quickly, that the car would drive faster, so that once she found Stella, she could repay Matthew Saxon.

With that, she’d be able to breathe a sigh of relief once he left.

But at other times, she wished the car would slow down. Having run into him by chance this time, who knows when the next meeting would be?

She hoped to spend more time with him.

Yet when they were together, even if they were face-to-face and so close, there was a gulf between their hearts as vast as mountains and seas.

Some distances already lay between her and him; it wasn’t something she could overlook just because she wanted to.

She felt sad, lost, despondent, as though her heart was thrown into a hot pan, being fried and squeezed out, a torment she couldn’t escape. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"How much?" Stella looked at Matthew Saxon as if he were an alien.

Debts should be repaid, it’s only right, and typically not something to be surprised about.

But she was surprised that someone like Matthew Saxon would come personally for such a small amount of money.

When Scarlett reported the specific amount, Stella’s eyes widened even more.

"108 bucks?"

Matthew Saxon actually came all this way for 108 bucks, how amusing.

Surely asking for the money was just an excuse; the main intention was to bring a person over?

Could it be that Matthew was concerned after Scarlett was earlier robbed, so he used an excuse to escort her back?

No matter the real reason, Stella had no fond feelings for Matthew Saxon.

As someone working in Z City and a gossip enthusiast, she had seen quite a bit of Matthew Saxon’s tabloid fodder recently.

Thinking of him changing women every few days and being friends with that scoundrel, Stella snorted disdainfully through her nose and mocked, "I wondered how much it was, that it’s worth Young Master Saxon coming all the way himself. The amount you earn counting on your fingers is more than we ordinary people can earn in a lifetime, yet you regard 108 bucks so highly, it’s really peculiar."

Facing her sarcasm, Matthew Saxon remained unfazed: "Even a penny is money; nobody’s money falls from the sky."

Stella took out her wallet. Deliberately trying to irk Matthew Saxon, she pulled out a hundred and a ten, pinching them between her fingers as she handed them to him: "The extra two bucks, Young Master, you don’t need to give back; just consider it your hard work fee."

Scarlett was sweating for Stella.

She feared Matthew Saxon might explode.

He had never been subjected to such mockery and provocation, certainly not a gentle or easygoing person.

Yet surprisingly, Matthew Saxon actually curved his lips into a smile, showing no sign of anger, took the money, pulled out his wallet, and carefully placed it back inside.

After doing all this, he even lifted his head and smiled at Stella: "Miss Nelson, considering you’ve paid me a hard work fee, I’ll sell a piece of information to you."
