Chapter 1475: Bringing You Back

Chapter 1475: Chapter 1475: Bringing You Back

It wasn’t until Rose’s voice, edged with anger, sounded that Scarlett snapped back to reality: "Oh... I’m listening."

"I’ve told you several times, and you’re not responding at all, what kind of manners is that? I’m asking you, are you coming back? Why do Dad and that man keep saying you’re only out for a little while?"

Scarlett’s mind was in turmoil.

With this call, many things she had previously speculated about seemed to be confirmed.

For instance, the fact that Noah and Maxwell Saxon had been quiet after she and Matthew Saxon left was because they had already made their move beforehand.

If they could join forces to poison Roy Saxon, why couldn’t they do the same with Matthew Saxon?

Only this way could they ensure their plan would be foolproof.

Scarlett’s mood suddenly became heavy, and she lost the desire to continue the conversation. She took a deep breath, tightened her grip on the phone, and mumbled, "Don’t worry, I won’t go back on my promise to you. I have something else to do now, I’ll hang up first."

"Hey, wait." Rose hurriedly stopped her.

Scarlett asked glumly, "Is there something else?"

"Where are you now? Are you in Z City?"

Not waiting for Scarlett to speak, she continued, "That’s just my guess because that handsome guy said he would go and get you back. Then yesterday, while he was chatting with Dad, I heard him say he was going to Z City, so I guessed..."

After hanging up, Scarlett stood in the hallway for a very long time.

Maxwell Saxon, Maxwell Saxon...

Why won’t he just let her go?

And Noah, if he had even a little bit of conscience, he shouldn’t be scheming against her like this.

There were some things she didn’t want to think deeply about because once she started, she would become increasingly desperate.

If they really poisoned Matthew Saxon, what should she do?

Matthew Saxon felt much better upon waking up from his sleep.

After getting up, he tidied himself up, wearing a top-notch handmade deep gray suit along with a simple striped shirt inside, and a matching long coat outside.

He was naturally suited to clothes, looking good in anything, for being a rather picky dresser himself. His daily outfit choices were classic, and today, he intentionally dressed a bit more formally and meticulously. As he walked out fully dressed, a maid passing by was dazzled at the sight of him.

"Where is Young Madam?" He was so accustomed to the admiring gaze of women that he directly overlooked the young maid’s starry-eyed expression.

The young maid stared at him for a few seconds, swallowed a bit, silently thinking Young Master is really handsome, then replied, "Young Madam is in the chess room playing chess with Old Master Douglas."

Scarlett can play chess?

Matthew Saxon was a bit surprised, but when he reached the chess room, pushed open the door, and saw the elderly and the young playing chess, he had an indescribable feeling of amusement.

Yes, indeed, the two were playing chess.

But... they were playing Gomoku.

This game, loved only by kids, seemed to bring joy to his chess-master grandfather, who was enjoying it quite a bit.

As Matthew Saxon opened the door and walked in, the two people playing were apparently quite focused and didn’t notice anyone entering.

He overheard Ian Douglas still exclaiming, "No, no, that move doesn’t count, I slipped with my hand and accidentally placed it there."
