Chapter 1459: Chapter 1459: What Do You Mean?

"Of course, no problem."

Scarlett Yates answered promptly. As soon as he finished speaking, she agreed to his request.

She didn’t even think it over, which surprised Hayes Simmons a bit, but then he felt relieved, and a gratified smile appeared in his eyes.

As long as Scarlett Yates agreed to him, there was no need to worry about this matter.

He sincerely thanked her, "Scarlett, I really must thank you."

The cup of water stayed in her hand, going from boiling hot to warm. Although the office had air conditioning, given it was winter, the water temperature dropped quickly.

Scarlett Yates held onto the cup of water, not taking a sip, and watched Hayes Simmons through the steam rising to the air: "Mr. Simmons, your request isn’t excessive, there’s no reason for me to refuse. Even if you hadn’t said anything, I would have done so anyway. But since Mr. Simmons has made a request of me, isn’t it only fair to accept one from me in return?"

"Go ahead."

Scarlett Yates smiled lightly and faintly, "I also hope Mr. Simmons can make things clear with Stella. Like you said, you don’t want to see her suffer all the time, do you?"

"Knox told me that you will ultimately marry the young lady of the Hughes Family. Since you and Stella are destined not to have a good outcome, being entangled like this isn’t beneficial for either of you. The deeper her feelings are, the more painful it will be for her when you get married. From another perspective, if someone’s convinced she’ll hinder the union of the two families, her personal safety could be at risk."

"Therefore, Mr. Simmons, please put yourself in her shoes. If you can’t give her a good outcome, then let her go. As for what it would take for Stella to give up on you, I believe Mr. Simmons knows very well that if you have even a little bit of true feelings for Stella, you shouldn’t continue to bother her."

Hayes Simmons was stunned, and his complexion gradually changed.

The conversation reached this point, and Scarlett Yates felt it was adequate.

Hayes Simmons is a smart person, he knows what needs to be done.

If he has even a hint of true affection for Stella Nelson, he should understand that letting go at the right time is the wisest decision.

Initially, she didn’t intend to interfere in their tangled relationship, since her own feelings were also in a complex state. What qualifications did she have to make decisions for others?

But if this matter threatened Stella Nelson’s personal safety, she couldn’t ignore it.

"Scarlett, you’re right, I shouldn’t continue being entangled with her."

A flicker of pain quickly flashed in Hayes Simmons’ eyes, and his expression noticeably dimmed. After a long silence, his deep voice carried a hint of bitterness, "Don’t worry, I won’t harm her, I’ll handle this properly."

Scarlett Yates nodded, "I trust Mr. Simmons’ character. Since you’ve promised me, you won’t go back on your word. Actually, we both have the same goal, which is to hope Stella can be well."

Mentioning Stella Nelson, Hayes Simmons’ entire demeanor changed. He stared absent-mindedly at a pen lying on the table, staring for a long time, and then, keeping his lowered posture, he asked softly, "Scarlett, is Stella... hiding something from me?"

Scarlett Yates was taken aback, "What are you referring to?"
