It’s as if he had tid her rest period perfectly; every ti she was about to go to sleep, he showed up like a ghost and routinely asked about her health.
As soon as she ca downstairs, she saw a few maids gathered together, excitedly discussing sothing.
Their discussions were not quiet.
"Have you seen her? That’s Miss Pearl Simmons; she’s truly beautiful."
"Yes, she’s not only pretty, but very classy too. You can tell she’s a rich lady from a famous family."
"Exactly, when she smiles, she’s so gentle, and her voice is pleasant to hear. After all, she was raised in a prestigious environnt; every move she makes is so elegant and noble. No wonder she caught the master’s eye; there’s really nothing to criticize. With the young master sitting next to her, they truly are the perfect couple, a handso boy and a lovely girl."
"But... the young master already has Miss Yates, so why does the master still..."
"What do you know? Don’t be fooled by the master’s polite deanor towards Miss Yates; deep down, he doesn’t think highly of a woman like her. Considering what the Saxon Family is like, do you really think the master would let an ordinary woman marry the young master? Besides, I heard Miss Yates’ parents passed away early, leaving her with no family. She was so poor that she had to rely on scholarships to study. How could she ever compare to Miss Pearl Simmons?"
"But I see that the young master treats Miss Yates quite well..."
"Tsk, do you really not know what kind of person the young master is? He’s seen more won than you’ve eaten als; do you truly believe he’d fall for a poor girl? After eting Miss Pearl Simmons, could he still regard that Yates woman favorably? One is an unlikable ugly duckling, the other a noble swan; anyone with eyes would pick the latter."
"You’re right, once he saw Miss Pearl Simmons, the young master’s thoughts weren’t on Miss Yates anymore. I even heard that Miss Pearl Simmons actually ca two days ago, and the young master has been accompanying her everywhere ever since."
The conversation among them grew more fervent, without any realization that soone was standing behind them.
Soone they had been talking about for quite a while.
Upon hearing these sarcastic and cutting remarks, Scarlett Yates surprisingly felt nothing.
This wasn’t the first ti she’d heard such words.
During her ti at the Saxon Family, she’d faced many similarly venomous comnts.
Everyone thought her identity was too humble, unworthy of the high and mighty Matthew Saxon.
In their eyes, she was a poor woman without anything; just the label of "poor" was enough to devalue her entirely.
The maids from the Douglas Family, who usually treated her politely on the surface, apparently viewed her in this way behind closed doors. Because of Matthew Saxon, they showed her respect outwardly, but could turn around and speak so disparagingly about her.
Just like Ian Douglas, in their bones, they looked down on her.
She often thought she didn’t like this place at all, where everyone was acting a part. After spending just a few days here, she already felt exhausted.
If she wasn’t mistaken, besides the deaning comnts, she had also heard the na Pearl Simmons just now.
That legendary Simmons Family heiress, with beauty and brains, had co to the Douglas Family? And Matthew Saxon was spending ti with her?
It felt like a basin of cold water was poured over her heart.
No matter how contemptuous and scathing the maids were, they didn’t anger her. But upon hearing that Matthew Saxon was with Pearl Simmons, her mood instantly sank.
