Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 431: She Felt Inferior

The whole nonsense of a one-year agreement, she long stopped wanting to abide by it. If he really brings up a termination, she wouldn’t know how happy she’d be.

Yet, he refuses to say anything.

During the day, he accompanies Pearl Simmons, and at night he enters her room and says things that seem caring. What does this mean?

Upon thinking about it, it’s just a perfunctory attempt at coaxing her.

After all, she is still his girlfriend in name. If he truly ignored her, acting as if he couldn’t care less, it would inevitably raise suspicions.

In the Douglas Family’s garden, there’s a resting area with a great view. Scarlett Yates learned from a maid that Ian Douglas and his group were there, so she quickly walked over. As she approached the area, she heard laughter.

The woman’s laughter was light and soft, like the breeze brushing past her cheek.

Just this pleasant laughter could lead one to imagine all sorts of things.

"Matthew, when I arrived, I heard Knox scolding you, saying he wants to cut ties with you and be diametrically opposed to you in the future. This time, he’s truly been angered to death by you. After my brother dragged him home, dad put him under house arrest, forbidding him to step out of Simmons Family’s gate for half a year. You know his temperament. Forget half a year; even two or three days indoors would drive him mad."

"Oh? Only under house arrest for half a year?" A slightly surprised voice sounded, with a teasing laugh, "I thought with such a major incident, Old Master Simmons, in a fit of anger, would at least confine him for a year."

"To really be confined for a year would be his death sentence. After just a few days, he’s gone crazy, turning the house upside down. I truly wish he hadn’t been brought back."

Matthew Saxon’s laughter clearly reached Scarlett Yates’s ears, sounding extremely piercing, "Seems his destructive capacity hasn’t lessened since the old days. Old Master Simmons must really be troubled, right?"

"Indeed, smashing things and going on hunger strikes, claiming freedom or death."

The distance wasn’t far.

So Scarlett Yates could clearly see the man and woman sitting in the resting area. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

She recalled Kiki mentioning Pearl Simmons was in the garden with Matthew Saxon, accompanying Ian Douglas for tea. Yet, Ian Douglas was nowhere to be seen now, presumably left early, creating an opportunity for the two young people to be alone.

This was Scarlett’s first time seeing Pearl Simmons in person.

This heiress, showered with love in the Simmons Family, acted low-key, rarely making appearances in news and tabloids. Plus, Scarlett was not much interested in entertainment gossip, so she knew nothing of Pearl Simmons.

But the moment she saw Pearl Simmons, Scarlett suddenly felt a sour and bitter sensation at heart.

Those maids were right; Pearl Simmons truly is a woman of nobility and elegance, with exceptional demeanor and looks, femininity in every gesture.

She was like a beacon, exuding graceful and charming vibes, making it hard not to notice her.

Such a face was already captivating enough, yet she had a noble background.

Alice Green is considered a beauty that catches the eye, but compared to Pearl Simmons, the difference is instantly apparent.

In terms of looks, the two are evenly matched, yet the superiority and confidence cultivated in Pearl Simmons since childhood is something Alice Green doesn’t have, nor does Scarlett Yates.
