These long-term employees have been with the Saxon Family for more than ten years, so they understand a bit about some old matters.

For example, how their lady of the house died back then.

The year Naomi Dougla committed suicide by jumping off a building due to depression, Ian Douglas declared he would never set foot in the Saxon Family home again.

Later, Roy Saxon personally invited him many times, to no avail. If it weren’t for Matthew Saxon being there, Ian Douglas and the Saxon Family would probably never interact again.

Old Master Douglas, who hadn’t set foot in the Saxon Family home for many years, finally agreed to appear there. Does this mean the old grievances from that time are over?

Well, considering the current mess the Saxon Family is in, perhaps Old Master Douglas no longer has the heart to fuss over past issues.

Even if he harbors resentment towards Old Master Douglas, after Old Master Douglas encountered misfortune, those resentments should dissipate.

Just arriving, Ian Douglas requested to see his room. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

His status is prestigious, so the accommodation chosen for him was of course carefully selected, a standalone villa where opening the windows reveals the entire garden.

"This is where I’m staying?" Ian Douglas glanced around casually, furrowing his brow, seeming dissatisfied with such arrangements.

"Grandfather, didn’t you used to love staying here the most?" Matthew Saxon walked to the side, opened the window, and pointed to the lotus pond opposite, laughingly saying, "That’s your favorite lotus pond opposite. Though the lotus flowers have wilted this season, didn’t you love the mood of ’listening to the rain over the remnant lotus’? I checked the weather forecast for you; it’ll rain in the coming days, so you’ll be able to appreciate the remnant lotus and listen to the sound of rain properly. Are you satisfied with this arrangement, Grandfather?"

Ian Douglas frowned: "Liked it before, but now I no longer like these cold and desolate things."

"So, Grandfather, what do you mean?" Matthew Saxon turned around, raising an eyebrow slightly.

Ian Douglas was waiting for this question and immediately replied: "This place seems cold and empty; you’re often at the company, and there’s no one to accompany this old man. So let Girl Yates stay here too; that way, there will be someone to talk to me every day, and it won’t be so dull."

Matthew Saxon was slightly taken aback, furrowing his brow: "Let Scarlett stay over?"

"What, is that not okay?" Ian Douglas’s face darkened slightly, lowering his voice, "Just having her stay over to keep me company, is that too much to ask?"

"That’s not what I meant."

"Then let’s settle it like this. I won’t stay here for long; I’ll go back once your wedding is over. Don’t think I want to stay here for long; if it weren’t for you, even if Roy Saxon were kneeling and begging me, I wouldn’t step into your Saxon Family home."

Matthew Saxon did not say yes or no, narrowing his slender eyes a bit, looking at Ian Douglas with a hint of inquiry.

He’s not foolish, not one to believe Ian Douglas just from a few words.

As Scarlett Yates said, his grandfather is a cunning, sly old fox; whatever he wants to do, he wouldn’t say it outright but would do it in a roundabout way.

Him asking Scarlett Yates to stay over for company is surely not just as simple as he states.

But the request isn’t excessive; it’s hard for Matthew Saxon to refuse.

"Grandfather, are you dissatisfied with Scarlett Yates?" Matthew Saxon asked casually after probing for a while.
