He spoke as if he knew Scarlett Yates very well, calling her "Scarlett" as naturally and intimately as can be, making Matthew Saxon seethe with anger.
What gave him the right to speak to him in this way?
What right did he have to act so close and concerned with Scarlett, just because they knew each other as children?
Matthew Saxon wasn't very clear about the past between Maxwell Saxon and Scarlett Yates during their childhood; he only heard Scarlett mention that Maxwell mistook her for a childhood friend.
According to Scarlett, she didn't remember anything about those events, which suggests that even if Maxwell did know her when they were young, their relationship couldn't have been particularly close.
If it had been such a close-knit relationship, Scarlett wouldn't have forgotten it all.
"She's my woman, I know how to love her and take care of her, I don't need you to teach me. If you feel like being concerned, you should worry more about your own situation."
