Chapter 1254: I Don’t Think There’s Any Need at All
Noah Yates was clearly shielding Scarlett Yates.
Old Master Yates snorted coldly through his nose, "Your daughter is yours; if you want to educate her, there’s nothing wrong with that, just don’t play favorites."
Noah Yates agreed with a smile, turning to see the familiar faces filling the room, all descendants of the Yates Family. It wasn’t easy for this large family to gather together usually, and upon meeting this time, everyone was eagerly chatting in low voices. Only Scarlett stood dazedly beside him, looking somewhat pitiful.
Feeling a wave of sympathy, he reached out and pulled Scarlett in front of Old Master Yates, "Dad, this is Scarlett’s first time meeting you. You haven’t seen this granddaughter in over twenty years, what good things have you prepared for her?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Once the verification results are out, if she really is Yates blood, she won’t miss out on anything, will she?" Upon seeing Scarlett’s face, Old Master Yates frowned.
He was deeply dissatisfied with Autumn Spencer, and even after so many years, seeing this face so similar to Autumn’s still filled him with disgust.
"Dad, let’s forget about the hospital verification. I really don’t think it’s necessary," Noah Yates was a bit unhappy. He genuinely had feelings for Autumn Spencer and truly loved her back then. Old Master Yates’ doubt about Scarlett was essentially casting doubt on Autumn’s character.
Autumn had given her life for him—she didn’t have to take that fatal car ride.
She died for him, and yet his family still questioned her integrity.
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Master Yates erupted, his face darkening, and he said coldly, "Do you think our Yates Family is some small-time household open to anyone? Besides, the girl herself has already agreed, what more is there to say? The Yates Family is at least respectable, and if someone is suddenly added to the family tree, isn’t it prudent to be careful and clear about everything? When you said you wanted to bring your daughter back, did I object? After bringing her back, you said she should recognize her ancestry, and I agreed with you. So why is it, when it’s my turn to set a few conditions, you start to hem and haw? Is the Yates Family now under your control, and this old man’s words mean nothing?"
"Dad, I didn’t mean it that way..."
"Then do as I say." Old Master Yates quickly made his decision, turning his head to instruct his subordinate, "Butler Wood, go call Doctor Collins immediately and explain the situation here to him."
"Also, it’s almost time for lunch, go fetch that girl Rose, since the whole family is here today, Mr. Mason, educate your daughter another day."
With a few words, Old Master Yates settled all matters. Although Noah Yates was a bit unhappy, as Old Master Yates had pointed out, the matter had already been agreed to by the parties involved, and there was no reason for him to stop it.

Rose Yates was quickly brought out.
When she saw Noah Yates, her eyes were still red, looking timid as she bit her lip and called out, "Daddy."
Noah Yates nodded, unable to show much displeasure in front of so many people, and said lightly, "You still need to practice the piano. Today, considering all the elders are here, I’ll give you a day off. But from tomorrow, after class, you must practice in the music room for two hours every day."
"But it’s so boring practicing piano alone." Rose’s eyes darted around before finally landing on Scarlett, "Dad, will sister live with us from now on? Can I ask her to stay with me?"
