Chapter 81

Everything was completely different from what she had anticipated. Scarlett Yates was momentarily stunned, unable to grasp the situation.

She paused for a few seconds and asked in confusion, “Old Master Saxon, what do you mean p>

Roy Saxon suddenly smiled and walked towards her.

His warm, firm hand gently rested on her shoulder.

She was taken aback, shivered, and widened her eyes, staring in surprise at the man who had walked up to her.

“Scarlett, you are the daughter-in-law that my Saxon Family has decided upon. You don’t need any designs on Matthew. You were meant to marry him originally p>

As soon as Roy Saxon finished speaking, both Scarlett Yates and Matthew Saxon were fine, as they had long known about this matter. However, May Denton’s face changed dramatically.

“What? Master, you say she is the daughter-in-law you have decided on?” May Denton’s sharp voice was full of astonishment.

Roy Saxon did not turn around; he simply nodded in acknowledgment, “That’s right, over twenty years ago, I arranged this marriage with the Yates Family p>

“We just had to wait for the two children to reach an appropriate age, then they would get married p>

May Denton’s eyes widened greatly, her face appeared worse than ever.

She evidently could not accept this fact; she stood there stunned for a few seconds, muttering to herself, “How could this be possible? Master, you have never mentioned this to me before. How could it suddenly just p>

Roy Saxon did not provide further explanation, but calmly said, “Do you not know now p>

Matthew Saxon’s marriage was already arranged. But what about her niece, Alexis Denton?

She desperately wanted Alexis Denton to marry Matthew Saxon, which would provide her with another ally to strengthen her position in the Saxon Family while acting as a spy, secretly monitoring Matthew Saxon.

Now, suddenly finding out Scarlett Yates’s identity, the hope was extinguished at once, leaving her as limp as a frostbitten eggplant p>

Scarlett Yates was equally shocked.

She looked at Roy Saxon in puzzlement.

Could it be, he still insisted on having her marry Matthew Saxon?

Did he not mind his son marrying a vain, shameless woman?

She stared dumbfounded at Roy Saxon, “Old Master Saxon, you are willing to let me marry Young Master p>

There was not a hint of disdain towards her in Roy Saxon’s eyes; his gaze was even softer than before. He nodded, “Since it’s a promise I made, I must see it through p>

“But Scarlett Yates never expected such an outcome.

Roy Saxon looked at her with a faint smile, “You and Matthew are in love with each other; you just said you really wanted to marry him. Why do you not seem happy p>

Scarlett Yates finally understood what it meant to lift a rock only to drop it on your own feet.

She had just admitted to liking Matthew Saxon, admitted wanting to marry him, just to make Roy Saxon despise her.

Who would have thought that Roy Saxon was entirely different from what she had imagined?

She wanted to cry but had no tears, “Old Master Saxon, I just p>

Roy Saxon raised a hand, cutting her off, “I have some words for you, follow me to the study p>

The scent of ink lingered in the air.

The books on the shelves were so numerous that Scarlett Yates was dizzy with confusion.

Her eyes darted around as she looked and marveled.

With so many books, one couldn’t finish reading them even in a lifetime, right?

The Saxon Family’s garage housed famous cars from around the world, like a major car exhibition, and the Saxon Family’s study, with its vast collection of books, was essentially a luxurious library.

Roy Saxon stood by the window with his hands behind his back, his silhouette exuding a cold, distant aura that warned strangers to keep away.

Faced with this formidable figure in the business world, Scarlett Yates held a degree of respect in her heart. Although his demeanor was calm, being alone in a room with him still made her a bit anxious.
