<h4>Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Asking Her for a Gift</h4>


    What a sin, to actually tantly threaten his own grandson.


    "Rebellion, you dare threaten me!?" Ian Dous’s face turned ashen with rage, and his eyes almost spat fire.


    Matthew Saxon chuckled, his expression calm and said slowly, "Grandfather, don’t use such harsh words, how would I dare threaten you, sir."


    "People outside all think of you as a terrifying person, they respect you, fear you, but that’s because they don’t understand you well enough. If they could, through some channels, know that your true character is actually kind-hearted and approachable, I think their impression of you would change tremendously.


    "Grandfather, I’m just considering what’s best for you, how could that be a threat?"


    With each word Matthew Saxon spoke, Ian Dous’s face grew a shade darker.


    When he finished his sentence, Ian Dous’s face was as ck as the bottom of a pot, his eyes burned with anger, and the chill emanated from him.


    Matthew Saxon still had a nonchnt expression, squinted slightly and smiled, "Grandfather, what do you think about this?"


    The grandson and grandfather locked eyes, one with a warm smile and the other with anger-filled eyes, and the moment their gazes touched, it was like a heavy collision, with an implicit crackling sound, followed by sparks flying and a strong smell of gunpowder...


    As an innocent bystander, Scarlett Yates could feel the tension subtly permeating the air.


    A minute, two minutes, or maybe even longer.


    Scarlett Yates didn’t know how long the grandson and grandfather stared at each other, but as the seconds ticked by, Ian Dous seemed to gradually give in, his facial expression began to soften, and his momentum weakened.


    "Go ahead, you little rascal, what are you trying to get from me this time?"


    The invisible war finally had a winner and a loser, and in the end, Matthew Saxon won.


    The mighty Old Master Dous, who had control over external affairs, willingly bowed his head to his grandson.


    In fact, how could he not understand his cunning and secretly mischievous grandson?


    As soon as Matthew Saxon opened his mouth, he knew what kind of schemes that little rascal had cooked up.


    Ian Dous only had this beloved grandson, and when he passed on, everything would go to this grandson, so why would he be stingy at this time?


    It’s just the usual way the grandfather and grandson interact, no matter the issue, they like to engage in verbal sparring first.


    Matthew Saxon naturally understood this, which is why he would indulge this old child’s y.


    When the game ended, he was still a bit unsatisfied, curled his lips and turned his head to Scarlett Yates, saying, "It’s Scarlett’s first meeting with grandfather, Uncle Spencer has already offered a gift, but as a family elder, grandfather should at least make some gesture."


    Eh?


    Was Matthew Saxon asking for a gift on her behalf?


    Scarlett Yates was stunned for a few seconds, before reacting, surprise shed in her eyes as she looked up to meet his smiling eyes and once again refused his kindness, "Matthew, Uncle Spencer’s gift is already enough, sitting here having a meal with Old Master Dous is happiness enough, having a gift or not doesn’t really matter."


    What is he up to exactly?


    Ian Dous wasn’t very fond of her to begin with, and him actively asking for a gift for her would only make Ian Dous have an even worse impression of her.


    Okay, although whether Ian Dous had a good or bad impression of her didn’t really matter, since she wouldn’t have anything to do with him in a year, she didn’t want to be disliked by such a formidable person.
