Chapter 18
Matthew Saxon sneered, “It seems my ’gentle and virtuous’ stepmother’s appetite is getting bigger. Since she’s eager to send her niece over, I have no reason to refuse her kind offer p>
“What does the young master mean p>
Matthew Saxon suddenly turned his head and looked at George, a meaningful smile on his lips.
George was startled and instinctively took a step back, his face turning strange, “Young master p>
Matthew approached and patted his stiff shoulder, then smiled, “George, how do I usually treat you p>
“The young master treats me very well p>
Matthew nodded in satisfaction, patiently guiding, “You are the person I trust the most. Such an important matter, I can’t leave it to anyone else p>
George’s lips curled into a smile uglier than a cry, “Young master, can I refuse p>
Matthew walked out the door, leaving him with a cold figure and a light message, “George, don’t disappoint me p>
Saxon Family.
In the brightly lit European-style mansion, May Denton thoughtfully fed peeled grapes to Roy Saxon.
“Dear, I heard that you’ve recently started letting St. John take over company matters. That child has been working overtime at the company these few days just to handle what you’ve arranged. He’s been coming home very late at night. Seeing St. John being so dedicated to his career, I feel at ease. In the future, the Saxon Clan won’t have to worry about having a good successor p>
May Denton’s probing words immediately made Roy Saxon frown.
He pushed May’s hand away, replying ambiguously, “St. John’s performance is not bad, but he’s still young, he needs a few more years of experience. It’s still too early to talk about this now p>
May’s expression changed, but she quickly returned to smiling, nodding gently, “You’re right, dear. St. John is still young and hasn’t accomplished anything significant yet. Even if you intend to hand the company over to him, the people below wouldn’t respect him p>
Her repeated probing made Roy’s expression change.
Just as he was about to scold her, a languid and slightly mocking voice suddenly sounded, “Aunt Denton is truly gentle and virtuous, starting to worry about Saxon Clan’s successor so early. But why did Aunt Denton automatically overlook me p>
At the corner of the entryway, the young man’s handsome face was radiant under the light.
The passing maids stopped in front of him and respectfully greeted, “Second Young Master p>
May Denton saw Matthew standing not far off and furrowed her eyebrows, a trace of coldness flashing in her eyes.
But she hid it well, and in an instant, she was smiling again, her voice gentle and affectionate, “Matthew, why did you come back so early today p>
Matthew slowly walked into the living room, greeted Roy, and then sat down opposite the two of them.
He looked at May Denton, a smile on his lips, and replied lazily, “Sorry, I came back so early and interrupted Aunt Denton’s business talk. But since it’s about the Saxon Clan’s matters, as one of the Saxon Family’s heirs, I’d also like to listen in p>
May Denton smiled lightly, “What business talk? We were just having a casual chat p>
“Oh p>
The maid served tea, and Matthew, looking at the tea leaves floating on the surface, curved his lips and smiled at Roy, “Dad, if you’re inclined to hand the company over to my brother, I have no objections. Let him take the President position p>
Roy frowned and said sternly, “When did I ever say I was going to hand the company over to your brother? Don’t you dare think of finding excuses to slack off. Do you think the President position of Saxon Clan is something you can just casually decide to give away p>
