Chapter 1257: What Is Matthew Saxon to You?
"Since you aren’t a blood relative of the Yates Family, the Yates Family has no reason to accept outsiders." Old Master Yates was also a very straightforward person; with only a few words, he made a decision, "You can’t stay with the Yates Family."
Scarlett Yates felt delighted in her heart; she had been waiting for those exact words.
Yet she still put on a look of regret, biting her lip and sighing repeatedly: "If Old Master hadn’t said so, I wouldn’t have the face to stay, it’s just that..."
Old Master Yates hadn’t expected her to be so easy to talk to, thinking she would at least put up a bit of a struggle, as becoming a young lady of the Yates Family would undeniably be a huge temptation for an ordinary girl.
"Just what?" he asked eagerly, assuming Scarlett wanted to take advantage of the situation.
He had already thought it through; as long as she didn’t make outrageous demands, he was willing to give her some money.
After all, problems that can be solved with money are the easiest to deal with.
"It’s just that I can’t leave alone." Scarlett paused, looked up at him, and said word by word, "I can leave, I can promise you that I’ll never step inside the Yates Family again, but you must do me a favor."
Scarlett believed that Old Master Yates surely wasn’t aware of Matthew Saxon being confined.
If there was anyone who could safely bring Matthew Saxon back to Z City, it would be Old Master Yates.
Old Master Yates frowned: "What do you want me to help you with?"
"Help me rescue someone."
The old master was shocked: "Help you rescue someone?"
This girl wasn’t asking him for money, nor for houses, cars, jewelry, or accessories; she actually wanted him to rescue someone, which truly was beyond his expectations.
"Yes, rescue someone. Someone very important to me has been confined by your son, and I’ve thought it over; besides you, there’s no one else who has the capability to rescue him, plus, I believe if you knew who he was, you wouldn’t agree with your son’s actions."
Old Master Yates looked at her in surprise for a moment, then spoke after a brief pause: "Who do you want me to rescue?"
"Matthew Saxon, President of Seymour Group. The Yates Family and Saxon Family have always stayed out of each other’s affairs. I suppose, old master, you wouldn’t want the two families to be at odds over this?"
Indeed, she had guessed correctly; Old Master Yates was unaware of the situation.
Scarlett’s heart instantly ignited with hope; she believed that as long as Old Master Yates’s mind was clear enough, he wouldn’t refuse her request.
Having a grudge against the Saxon Family would also simultaneously offend the Douglas Family; wise people wouldn’t choose to do so.
Scarlett couldn’t figure out why Noah Yates would risk doing such a thing, even to this day.
"Someone from the Saxon Family?" Old Master Yates was full of surprise, his eyebrows raised as if he couldn’t quite believe it, and asked again, "You mean that most famous Saxon Family from Z City?"
Scarlett nodded, pleading once more: "Old Master, I beg you; as long as we can return to Z City, I promise I won’t show up in front of you again. This is my only condition."
Old Master Yates fell into silence.
After a long, long time...
Actually, it might not be that long, but for Scarlett Yates, who was waiting for him to speak, every extra minute felt as long as a century.
"What is Matthew Saxon to you?" Old Master Yates looked at her again, asking with deep eyes.
Scarlett replied honestly: "He’s my husband."
