Chapter 1258: What Does the Little Princess Want to Tell Me?
Old Master Yates was once again stunned.
If this little girl wasn’t lying, wouldn’t that make her the Young Madam of the Saxon Family?
The reason he refused to let her claim her heritage was because he despised her identity. Yet, unexpectedly, his seemingly ordinary granddaughter already had a noble status.
Becoming the Young Madam of the Saxon Family, it didn’t matter whether she was a Yates lady or not. No wonder she remained so calm after seeing the test results, as if she didn’t care at all.
The Old Master fell into a long silence.
If he had known this from the beginning, he wouldn’t have opposed Scarlett acknowledging her roots. She formally became a member of the Yates Family, and she married Matthew Saxon, which was tantamount to a marriage alliance between the Yates and Saxon families.
But now... saying things like the test results might have been wrong, wouldn’t that be too fake?
In terms of actual benefits, the Saxon Family and the Yates Family were worlds apart, each ruling their own territory and rarely touching in business. If they married, there wasn’t much benefit to be gained from each other; it would be better to partner with a local big company with strength.
The marriage alliance between the Yates and Saxon families, to speak of benefits, would only be more prestigious to talk about.
So, even though he felt a bit regretful, Old Master Yates didn’t find much regret in his decision.
He fell into silence again.
This time, the silence lasted longer, making the waiting process more agonizing.
Old Master Yates pondered for a long time, so long that Scarlett’s initial confidence gradually waned.
Just as Scarlett was about to lose her composure and wanted to beg him again, Old Master Yates’s slightly weathered voice slowly rang out: "I can agree to your request, but you must remember, both you and the Saxon Family owe me a favor, and since it’s a favor, if there’s a need for payback in the future, you are not allowed to default."

With Old Master Yates’s assurance, Scarlett felt as if she had taken a calming pill and truly settled down at the Yates Family.
After leaving the study and returning to her room, she saw Rose Yates standing outside her room as she went upstairs.
When Scarlett noticed her, Rose also saw Scarlett.
With no one else around, Rose no longer pretended, her eyes both cold and disdainful. As Scarlett approached, Rose called out in a very unfriendly tone, "Hey, old woman, where did you go, making this lady wait for so long."
Scarlett was in high spirits; joy makes the soul lively. Even though Rose called her "hey" and "old woman," she was not angry. Instead, she replied with a smile, "Everyone gets old. One day, you’ll become the old woman you speak of. Attacking me for my age is just attacking yourself. In the eyes of kindergarten kids, you’re an old woman too."
"No matter how old, I’m better than you." Rose raised her chin, her head held high, with an expression full of arrogance, like an impressive princess. She proudly said, "I came here to inform you of a few things."
Scarlett thought about how she would soon leave this place. Without any intention to argue, she not only didn’t take Rose’s arrogance and rudeness seriously but also cooperatively said, "Oh, what does the Little Princess want to inform me of?"
Rose really acted like a princess, and though she was much shorter, she displayed a high and mighty posture, arrogantly saying, "First, don’t think you can steal dad away from my brother and me. In dad’s heart, my brother and I are his closest children. You’re not; you’ve been apart from him for so many years. How can you compare to the three of us being together every day? The bond between us is much deeper than with you."
