<h4>Chapter 277: Chapter 277: The Master Wants to See You Alone</h4>


    Scarlett Yates couldn’t help but be taken aback.


    This polite yet somewhat distant address clearly showed his attitude.


    Yesterday, in front of Matthew Saxon, he smiled gently while calling her name, but now that Matthew is not around, it’s as if he’s a different person.


    Although polite, his demeanor wasn’t as warm as it had been yesterday.


    Scarlett knew exactly what this represented.


    Deep down, he still didn’t approve of her.


    At the same time, this also indicated that Ian Dous wasn’t supportive of her either, or else Uncle Spencer wouldn’t have treated her this way.


    "Uncle Spencer, are you here to see Matthew? He’s not here right now..."


    "Miss Yates, I’m here to see you." Uncle Spencer interrupted her, his sharp and astute gaze settling on her face, giving a slight smile.


    "See me?" Scarlett was momentarily stunned.


    Uncle Spencer nodded, "Yes, Miss Yates, the Old Master wants to see you alone. Please pack up quickly ande with me."


    Though his words were courteous, Uncle Spencer’s demeanor held a certain firmness, as if telling her that no matter if she wanted to go or not, she had to make this trip.


    He stood outside, his tall and lean body like a steel wall blocking the door.


    Seeing this, Scarlett felt a helpless, bitter smile rising from her heart. She stayed silent for a few seconds, then softly asked, "Does Old Master Dous want to see me? Uncle Spencer, do you know what he wants with me?"


    She had a vague premonition that she was about to go through another melodramatic, prime-time drama scenario.


    Like breaking up lovers, although she and Matthew Saxon were not exactly lovebirds, to outside eyes, they seemed like a couple in love.


    She sensed Ian Dous’s dissatisfaction with her just yesterday.


    She didn’t expect he’d act so quickly,ing to see her first thing in the morning.


    Uncle Spencer smiled, shook his head, and said, "I don’t know about that. Miss Yates, you’ll find out when you get there."


    Don’t know?


    Scarlett looked at him and found it hard to believe he didn’t know anything about it.


    As Ian Dous’s trusted assistant, how could he not have the slightest understanding of the situation?


    But since he was unwilling to say, she couldn’t force him.


    If nothing unexpected happened, her meeting with Ian Dous would likely align closely with her guesses.


    Thinking of this, Scarlett couldn’t help but curl her lips into a sarcastic, faint smile.


    In the Saxon Family, besides Roy Saxon, no one else seemed to agree with her marriage to Matthew Saxon.


    Everyone thought she came from too ordinary a background to match the noble second heir of the Saxon Family. As Ian Dous cherished his grandson so much, it was no surprise he had high, exacting standards for his future daughter-inw.


    "Uncle Spencer, why don’t youe in and sit down? I’ll be done in a moment." Now understanding Ian Dous’s purpose, Scarlett wasn’t as panicked.


    At worst, he’d just criticize her and offer tempting conditions for her to leave. Having been through this once, experiencing it again was no trouble.


    Matthew Saxon once offered two hundred million to end the engagement.


    She was curious to see what price Ian Dous would be willing to offer for his cherished grandson.


    "No need, I’ll wait outside." Uncle Spencer wasn’t even willing toe inside to sit.


    He didn’t say it, nor was it apparent in his eyes, but his words and actions clearly showed he didn’t regard her highly.


    He was truly being disdainful to the extreme.


    The smile on Scarlett’s lips faded. She looked up at the man with hawk-like eyes and a powerful aura surrounding him, thought for a moment, and then lowered her head to remove the ring from her finger.
