Chapter 237

Matthew Saxon led her to a wall and pointed to a jadeware carving placed on the shelf, “If you truly like jade, it must be jadeware like this. The bracelets earlier are far inferior to this p>

The carving depicted a Kirin, every scale on its body was carved so vividly, it looked as if it were alive.

This was an exquisite piece of top-grade jade.

Scarlett Yates had seen something similar in a magazine before; it was a set of jadeite earrings and a necklace that sold for over forty million at auction. She didn’t know how much this Jade Qilin was worth, but it surely wouldn’t be less than that jewelry set at auction.

However, despite the beauty of the Jade Qilin, Scarlett Yates wasn’t particularly fond of such items.

Though the Kirin was exquisitely carved, it had a somewhat fierce appearance, especially those Kirin eyes.

As Matthew Saxon spoke, he turned to glance at her, without asking whether she liked it, he led her to see other things.

As they viewed item after item, Scarlett Yates’ initial obvious shock transformed into silent amazement.

She certainly knew Ian Douglas was wealthy, extremely wealthy.

But after seeing these treasures from his collection one by one, her concept of what it meant to be wealthy became even more profound.

The items here, each by itself, were things that ordinary people could never aspire to in their lifetime, yet they all belonged to one person.

Just these collectibles alone must constitute an unfathomably enormous fortune.

During the viewing, Matthew Saxon patiently explained to her the origin of each item, its special characteristics, all detailed and intriguing.

“Grandfather’s only passion in life is thus; his fervor for collectibles surpasses everything else p>

After listening for a while, Scarlett Yates suddenly thought of a question, “Even more than your grandmother p>

There were many rumors regarding Ian Douglas’s wife.

Some said she was already dead, others said she was still alive but had been hidden away by Ian Douglas.

As to why she would be hidden, there are many versions; some say it’s because she developed mental issues, while others claim it’s because she uncovered some secret she shouldn’t have seen.

In general, the wealthier the family, the more and more outlandish the rumors become, all sorts of imaginative things conjured up by people.

For example, Ian Douglas, in external rumors, was described as cold-blooded and merciless, killing without a blink of an eye, employing extremely cruel and harsh methods, such that becoming his enemy would be a fate worse than death.

But the Ian Douglas that Scarlett Yates saw was a man with strikingly handsome features, an elegant mature demeanor, yet behaved somewhat like a mischievous senior.

From this, it could be seen that most of those so-called rumors were half true, half false, with a part completely fabricated.

Regarding this question, Matthew Saxon’s expression seemed to change slightly, with a slight frown above his enchanting, slender eyes.

Scarlett Yates regretted asking that question just now.

From Matthew Saxon’s current expression, it seemed that her question had displeased him.

Just when Scarlett Yates thought he wouldn’t answer her, she heard him speak softly, his voice deep and gentle, as if whispering, “I mentioned earlier, Grandfather’s greatest passion in life is collecting these items. His interest in these surpasses everything else, including my grandmother p>
