These long-term employees have been with the Saxon Family for more than ten years, so they understand a bit about so old matters.
For example, how their lady of the house died back then.
The year Naomi Dougla committed suicide by jumping off a building due to depression, Ian Douglas declared he would never set foot in the Saxon Family ho again.
Later, Roy Saxon personally invited him many tis, to no avail. If it weren’t for Matthew Saxon being there, Ian Douglas and the Saxon Family would probably never interact again.
Old Master Douglas, who hadn’t set foot in the Saxon Family ho for many years, finally agreed to appear there. Does this an the old grievances from that ti are over?
Well, considering the current ss the Saxon Family is in, perhaps Old Master Douglas no longer has the heart to fuss over past issues.
Even if he harbors resentnt towards Old Master Douglas, after Old Master Douglas encountered misfortune, those resentnts should dissipate.
Just arriving, Ian Douglas requested to see his room.
His status is prestigious, so the accommodation chosen for him was of course carefully selected, a standalone villa where opening the windows reveals the entire garden.
"This is where I’m staying?" Ian Douglas glanced around casually, furrowing his brow, seeming dissatisfied with such arrangents.
"Grandfather, didn’t you used to love staying here the most?" Matthew Saxon walked to the side, opened the window, and pointed to the lotus pond opposite, laughingly saying, "That’s your favorite lotus pond opposite. Though the lotus flowers have wilted this season, didn’t you love the mood of ’listening to the rain over the remnant lotus’? I checked the weather forecast for you; it’ll rain in the coming days, so you’ll be able to appreciate the remnant lotus and listen to the sound of rain properly. Are you satisfied with this arrangent, Grandfather?"
Ian Douglas frowned: "Liked it before, but now I no longer like these cold and desolate things."
"So, Grandfather, what do you an?" Matthew Saxon turned around, raising an eyebrow slightly.
Ian Douglas was waiting for this question and imdiately replied: "This place seems cold and empty; you’re often at the company, and there’s no one to accompany this old man. So let Girl Yates stay here too; that way, there will be soone to talk to every day, and it won’t be so dull."
Matthew Saxon was slightly taken aback, furrowing his brow: "Let Scarlett stay over?"
"What, is that not okay?" Ian Douglas’s face darkened slightly, lowering his voice, "Just having her stay over to keep company, is that too much to ask?"
"That’s not what I ant."
"Then let’s settle it like this. I won’t stay here for long; I’ll go back once your wedding is over. Don’t think I want to stay here for long; if it weren’t for you, even if Roy Saxon were kneeling and begging , I wouldn’t step into your Saxon Family ho."
Matthew Saxon did not say yes or no, narrowing his slender eyes a bit, looking at Ian Douglas with a hint of inquiry.
He’s not foolish, not one to believe Ian Douglas just from a few words.
As Scarlett Yates said, his grandfather is a cunning, sly old fox; whatever he wants to do, he wouldn’t say it outright but would do it in a roundabout way.
Him asking Scarlett Yates to stay over for company is surely not just as simple as he states.
But the request isn’t excessive; it’s hard for Matthew Saxon to refuse.
"Grandfather, are you dissatisfied with Scarlett Yates?" Matthew Saxon asked casually after probing for a while.
