Chapter 327
From the moment Scarlett Yates met Maxwell Saxon, she was enveloped in a certain awkward atmosphere.
An awkwardness created by Matthew Saxon and Maxwell Saxon.
The two half-brothers always erupt in an invisible war every time they meet.
On the surface, they seem harmonious and brotherly, but their conversations are heavy with tension, as if a real war could break out at any moment.
She silently observes from the side, inevitably anxious and secretly sweating for the two of them.
Therefore, she had longed to leave.
As soon as Matthew Saxon suggested leaving, she promptly stood up to accompany him.
Maxwell Saxon didn’t utter a word to stop them.
Perhaps he too knows Matthew’s temperament well, understanding that once Matthew decides not to do something, no one can force him, so despite frowning in disapproval, he remained silent.
After Matthew Saxon and Scarlett Yates left, Uncle Thompson approached from another table, glanced briefly at the figures outside the glass window, and then lowered his voice to say, “Young Master, following your instructions, someone was sent to secretly track and monitor the Second Young Master after he left Z City. Based on these days’ observations, the Second Young Master indeed shows no interest in the bidding matters, constantly mingling with a group of women and never asking about the bids p>
Maxwell Saxon took a sip from his coffee, paused in silence for a few seconds, then faintly smiled and said, “So, he really has no interest in the company matters p>
Uncle Thompson thought for a moment before replying, “On the surface, it does seem that way. Over the years, your surveillance has never been retracted; the Second Young Master indeed only indulges in leisure and debauchery outside, showing no interest in other matters p>
“My brother should not be underestimated p>
Maxwell Saxon mused in silence for a moment, narrowing his eyes in a profound and mysterious manner, “Though he appears deeply immersed in leisure these few years, caution is always necessary. After all, his grandfather is Ian Douglas, that old fox. Even if he truly has no intention of taking over the company, Ian Douglas wouldn’t agree. This might just be a tactic the grandfather and grandson devised to deceive those around them p>
After hearing this, Uncle Thompson pondered slightly, then nodded and said, “The Young Master is correct; it might indeed be a scheme of theirs. I will continue to have someone monitor him, so any anomaly can be immediately detected p>
Maxwell Saxon nodded, thought for a moment, then said, “Be cautious and make sure he doesn’t find out p>
“Rest assured, Young Master, our people are well-hidden and he won’t discover them p>
“Did you investigate how this marriage between Saxon Family and Yates Family came about?” This matter wasn’t very important, so Maxwell Saxon mentioned it casually.
Out of curiosity and the hope of possibly gleaning some beneficial information, he had arranged an investigation.
Had he not just seen Scarlett Yates, he might have already forgotten about this matter.
Curiously enough, Maxwell Saxon feels as though Scarlett Yates’s gaze towards him seemed off this time.
She seemed to purposely avoid him, and this avoidance arises from fear.
The fear in her eyes wasn’t well concealed.
Before leaving Z City, she wasn’t like this towards him, yet within a few short days, her attitude changed significantly. There must be a reason behind this.
