Chapter 559

Matthew Saxon turned his head to look out the car window.

The rain was so heavy, his mood like the gloomy sky at that moment, his heart felt like something was blocking it, weighing him down.

Thinking of Scarlett Yates’s indifferent gaze, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

“Maxwell Saxon’s recent behavior is a bit unusual, we must prepare in advance p>

“The Young Master has been interacting with Miss Yates quite a lot lately, but there’s nothing beneficial to him from Miss Yates. Just what is the Young Master planning?” Maxwell Saxon’s shrewdness and methods made George start to worry.

This Young Master, who appeared to be a gentleman on the surface, was in fact a ruthless character who could kill without leaving a trace.

George had already seen this in how Maxwell Saxon handled certain company affairs.

Everything Maxwell Saxon did was highly purposeful; the fact that he invited Scarlett Yates to meet alone tonight made it impossible for it to be just a casual dinner.

Even George couldn’t think of any necessary reason for Maxwell Saxon and Scarlett Yates to meet and talk alone.

Matthew Saxon remained silent for a long time.

The raindrops outside the car splattered against the glass, crackling loudly, and soon, the windows were wet, creating a layer of mist on the glass surface, blurring the sights outside.

“No matter what he’s planning, I won’t let him have the chance to hurt Scarlett p>

Cemetery.

Scarlett Yates had taken half a day off.

Today was the anniversary of Father Yates and Mother Yates’s passing. Like every other year, Scarlett Yates bought two bouquets of white chrysanthemums and a bunch of lilies, which Mother Yates had loved most during her life, to pay respects at the grave.

As if to set the mood, the sky was also gloomy, giving a sense of oppression and dreariness.

The taxi stopped outside the cemetery.

Scarlett Yates took the flowers and jumped out of the car. Just seeing the words “Fragrant Hill Cemetery” outside the gate brought moisture to her eyes.

How many years has it been?

Every time she came to this place, those painful and sorrowful memories would emerge from the depths of her heart, the events of that day replaying vividly in her mind.

She still remembered that day. Grandma was busy in the kitchen, preparing a large table of dishes that Father Yates and Mother Yates loved, while she ran to the balcony early in the morning, leaning on the railing eagerly waiting.

Waiting for her mom and dad, waiting for the joyous moment of the family’s reunion.

But the Father Yates and Mother Yates she had been eagerly anticipating for over a week did not return home at the agreed time.

Just an hour after the call with Father Yates and Mother Yates, she received a call from the police.

The call was like a bolt from the blue, almost shattering her soul.

Grandma fainted on the spot, and when she was taken to the hospital, she almost didn’t survive, but despite being saved at that time, she only lived for three more years.

Her grandma had already been in poor health, and after suffering the blow of her son and daughter-in-law dying in a car accident, she held on for three years before leaving Scarlett.

After that, she became an orphan that nobody wanted.

Everyone said she was a jinx.

First, she jinxed her own parents, then her grandma. Who would dare take in a jinx who causes everyone around her to die?

“Scarlett, it’s not that Aunt doesn’t feel for you, but you know, your destiny is strong, we are really scared. You have two cousins who are still young, they can’t bear your jinx p>

“You’re no longer that young, even if you don’t live with us, you can take care of yourself. But if something happens to me and your uncle, what will happen to your two younger siblings p>
