The lean yet muscular upper body was covered in muscles, not inferior to a young man’s.
Looking at him, you’d never guess he’s already a fifty-sothing old man.
"Little girl, co sit." Ian Douglas reclined with a slight pant, gesturing to the spot opposite him.
The maid brought fragrant tea.
Ian Douglas took a leisurely sip before lifting his head to glance at Scarlett Yates, "Have you guessed why I called you here?"
Scarlett looked at his still captivatingly handso face and nodded slightly, "I have so guesses."
"Oh? Then tell ." Ian Douglas smiled faintly, as if quite interested.
Scarlett smiled again, "I think if I’m not mistaken, it has sothing to do with your precious grandson."
"The little girl is not too foolish after all."
The interest in Ian Douglas’s eyes grew, the smile on his lips widened as he lazily lay there, fingers tapping on the table edge, slowly speaking, "Since you’ve guessed it, I won’t beat around the bush. Tell , little girl, under what conditions would you leave my grandson?"
Predictably, Scarlett still found it sarcastic.
These wealthy and powerful people always seem fond of using money to solve problems.
Surely, most of the issues in this world can be solved with money.
Isn’t there a saying, "Money makes the mare go?" The charm and allure of money is irresistible to anyone.
Do they want to talk money with her?
Scarlett sneered inwardly, yet displayed a radiant and sweet smile, tilting her head innocently, "Grandpa, are you not satisfied with ? Matthew and I are genuinely in love, why do you want to leave him?"
She deliberately called him "Grandpa" to disgust Ian Douglas.
As expected, Ian Douglas frowned, "Little girl, I cannot bear that title, ’Grandpa’."
Scarlett blinked, showing an innocent gaze, "But yesterday I also called you that, and Grandpa didn’t say anything."
Ian Douglas’s frown deepened, his eyes grew colder, seemingly wanting to get angry but restrained himself in the last mont.
He suddenly smirked, his cunning fox eyes fixed aningfully on Scarlett, "Little girl is indeed mischievous, but playing such tricks in front of is pointless. Life is a chase for fa and fortune; no one can truly be free of desires. You have a golden opportunity at such a young age to change your destiny and be superior. I hope if you’re smart enough, you know what choice to make."
Scarlett’s smile grew even sweeter, "Grandpa ans I marry Matthew, beco the Saxon Family’s young madam?"
Without waiting for Ian Douglas to say anything, she nodded and said with a smile, "Hmm, Grandpa is right, this is indeed a perfect chance for a change in destiny, a sparrow transforming into a phoenix on the branch."
Ian Douglas leisurely picked up the tea and took a slow sip, speaking unhurriedly, "The opportunity for a sparrow to transform into a phoenix isn’t impossible, but it depends if the sparrow has the wings to fly up there; how can a bird with broken wings fly?"
Scarlett smiled warmly as she picked up her tea and took a few sips, feigning ignorance of Ian Douglas’s implication, "A bird without wings can’t fly doesn’t matter. As long as soone is willing to carry it to the branch, won’t all problems be solved?"
