Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?

She and Rose Yates had only met for the first time. She merely retaliated a little bit, not enough to count as a deep grudge. Does this child really hate her now?

"Dad, actually, the necklace might not necessarily belong to Rose. It’s possible that it’s her classmate’s, and she borrowed it because she liked it. You grounded her for three months; isn’t that a bit too heavy a punishment?" Scarlett Yates looked indifferently at Rose’s gradually disappearing silhouette, without a hint of guilt for having bullied a child.

A ten-year-old child should be quite sensible.

When Rose called her old and poor, she should have known how malicious those words were, yet she said them anyway.

If she wronged her first, then Scarlett made sure to retaliate.

Noah Yates glanced at her: "What exactly did Rose say to you just now?"

Noah is so smart; he can see that there was something wrong with Rose. However, he doesn’t believe Scarlett spoke unintentionally.

Just now, he was happy that the two daughters could get along. It seems he was happy too soon.

"Nothing major, nothing important."

Noah stayed silent for a while and didn’t pursue the matter further, speaking instead in a somewhat helpless tone, "Sometimes, Rose can be a little headstrong and her temper is peculiar, but she’s not fundamentally bad. If she said something that upset you, don’t take it to heart. She’s still young; there’s no need to take it seriously with a child."

Sure enough, a daughter who has always been by his side is different.

Although he punished Rose earlier, he immediately started speaking on her behalf.

After all, he’s still soft-hearted.

Scarlett curled her lips sarcastically, her tone particularly nonchalant: "Dad, what are you talking about? I think Rose is quite adorable. She didn’t say anything that made me unhappy. It’s just some little secret between girls, not suitable to speak about publicly."

At this point, Noah couldn’t say much more.

The fault lies with Rose alone acting wrongly. It all stems from his overly indulgent attitude. This incident serves as a good chance to educate her properly.

"Rose isn’t very sensible, but with you as her sister helping to guide her, she can eliminate many bad habits."

Scarlett just smiled and said nothing.

And Nolan, who had been standing to the side, formed a deep impression of this sister whom he met for the first time.

His first impression was that this sister, who appeared gentle and easygoing, wasn’t as easygoing as she seemed.

His second impression was that his stern father highly valued this sister, even above Rose, who usually enjoyed so much favoritism but was punished today because of her.

Uncle Chapman privately told him that this sister is formidable and likely to claim everything that should belong to him and his sister once she returns to the Yates Family. At that time, he thought Uncle Chapman was overthinking. How could Dad, who loves them so dearly, stop loving them just because of a sister he hadn’t seen for so many years?

But now... Nolan really felt a bit worried.

"Old Master, Master, Young Master and the Eldest Miss are here."

The vast hall was filled with people sitting in two rows, old and young, male and female. At the top center sat Old Master Yates, Noah’s father.

"What Eldest Miss? Whether that wild girl is even Mr. Mason’s child is still unknown, yet people are calling randomly." Old Master Yates heavily placed the teacup on the table, raising two thick black eyebrows in disapproval.
