His initiative to admit fault not only failed to have any effect, it actually made Scarlett Yates, who was already feeling tense and scared, flare up in anger.
She gritted her teeth and whispered, "You mean to say, you were joking with me?"
To put it nicely, it was a joke; in other words, wasn't he just playing her like a fool?
Matthew Saxon hadn't realized she was already furious and continued to coax her gently, "Mm, it was just a joke. How could I bear to make you uncomfortable in a place like this..."
Before he could finish his sentence, slap, the other side of his face also got a smack. Scarlett Yates was furious: "Matthew Saxon, are you crazy? Do you find teasing me entertaining? You bastard!"
Caught off guard, Matthew didn't manage to dodge, and his handsome face took another solid slap.
For anyone else, daring to lay a finger on his face would be courting death.
