Chapter 1437: Chapter 1437: He Was Being Followed

--

Knox Simmons startled quite a few people as he walked out of the living room.

Everyone who had encountered him was frightened by his bruised and battered appearance; if you didn’t look carefully, you wouldn’t recognize him as their Young Master.

Yet he himself seemed oblivious, and when he met the pretty little maids of the house, he charmed them with his usual seductive smile, thinking himself debonair.

His smile turned his entire face grotesque, as hideous as could be.

Soon enough, the news that Young Master Simmons got beaten up by Young Master Saxon spread throughout the Simmons Family, followed by various speculative reasons for Knox’s beating.

After getting in the car, Knox called Scarlett Yates.

His body was littered with injuries, and he’d been enduring the pain for the sake of appearances; once alone in the car, he bared his teeth in agony.

But upon hearing Scarlett’s voice, his frown melted into a grin: "Baby Scarlett, what are you doing? It feels like ages since I’ve seen you, a moment apart seems like three years, you must be missing me terribly, right?"

"Oh, then you chat for a bit, I’ll be right over. Lunch is on me, just tell me what you want to eat.

What about Jade Court? We can eat there anytime...Of course, your friends are my friends too, I have to treat them well. You wait up, I’ll be there in half an hour tops."

After hanging up, Hayes Simmons immediately made another call to reserve a spot at Jade Court.

Earlier, Scarlett mentioned she was with Stella Nelson, and on the phone, he heard Stella gigglingly asking him to book Jade Court.

Jade Court is a restaurant specializing in ancient palace cuisine, run by descendants of royal chefs, passing down culinary skills through generations, offering lavish dishes exclusively to the wealthy. Each dish is extraordinarily expensive but no matter the price, the affluent are always dining there, ensuring a packed house.

When Knox went to book a table, the place was already fully booked.

But even when fully booked, a Young Master from the Simmons Family can always commandeer a table, no matter the demand.

Last night, snow fell all through the night.

By daybreak, the snow had stopped, the skies cleared, and the warm sunlight started melting the meager snow piled on the streets.

Despite no snow or rain, the streets remained damp.

While waiting at a traffic light at an intersection, Knox realized he was being tailed.

He had sensed it right from the start, but the following car kept a considerable distance, and he couldn’t be certain.

His car had taken three consecutive turns since leaving the Simmons Family estate, and the car trailing him had mirrored those turns; wasn’t this a bit too coincidental?

Now, Knox was completely sure he was being followed.

And the person tailing him was none other than Matthew Saxon, who had left the Simmons estate early.

Glancing in the rearview mirror at the Porsche parked about six or seven meters behind him, Knox curled his lips in amusement.

In pursuit of him, Matthew had even switched out his Lamborghini for a Porsche.

He thought, how could Matthew just leave the Simmons estate without getting any answers? Turns out he had this sneaky backup plan.
