<h4>Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Grandpa, are you dissatisfied with me?</h4>


    The lean yet muscr upper body was covered in muscles, not inferior to a young man’s.


    Looking at him, you’d never guess he’s already a fifty-something old man.


    "Little girl,e sit." Ian Dous reclined with a slight pant, gesturing to the spot opposite him.


    The maid brought fragrant tea.


    Ian Dous took a leisurely sip before lifting his head to nce at Scarlett Yates, "Have you guessed why I called you here?"


    Scarlett looked at his still captivatingly handsome face and nodded slightly, "I have some guesses."


    "Oh? Then tell me." Ian Dous smiled faintly, as if quite interested.


    Scarlett smiled again, "I think if I’m not mistaken, it has something to do with your precious grandson."


    "The little girl is not too foolish after all."


    The interest in Ian Dous’s eyes grew, the smile on his lips widened as hezilyy there, fingers tapping on the table edge, slowly speaking, "Since you’ve guessed it, I won’t beat around the bush. Tell me, little girl, under what conditions would you leave my grandson?"


    Predictably, Scarlett still found it sarcastic.


    These wealthy and powerful people always seem fond of using money to solve problems.


    Surely, most of the issues in this world can be solved with money.


    Isn’t there a saying, "Money makes the mare go?" The charm and allure of money is irresistible to anyone.


    Do they want to talk money with her?


    Scarlett sneered inwardly, yet disyed a radiant and sweet smile, tilting her head innocently, "Grandpa, are you not satisfied with me? Matthew and I are genuinely in love, why do you want me to leave him?"


    She deliberately called him "Grandpa" to disgust Ian Dous.


    As expected, Ian Dous frowned, "Little girl, I cannot bear that title, ’Grandpa’."


    Scarlett blinked, showing an innocent gaze, "But yesterday I also called you that, and Grandpa didn’t say anything."


    Ian Dous’s frown deepened, his eyes grew colder, seemingly wanting to get angry but restrained himself in thest moment.


    He suddenly smirked, his cunning fox eyes fixed meaningfully on Scarlett, "Little girl is indeed mischievous, but ying such tricks in front of me is pointless. Life is a chase for fame and fortune; no one can truly be free of desires. You have a golden opportunity at such a young age to change your destiny and be superior. I hope if you’re smart enough, you know what choice to make."


    Scarlett’s smile grew even sweeter, "Grandpa means I marry Matthew, be the Saxon Family’s young madam?"


    Without waiting for Ian Dous to say anything, she nodded and said with a smile, "Hmm, Grandpa is right, this is indeed a perfect chance for a change in destiny, a sparrow transforming into a phoenix on the branch."


    Ian Dous leisurely picked up the tea and took a slow sip, speaking unhurriedly, "The opportunity for a sparrow to transform into a phoenix isn’t impossible, but it depends if the sparrow has the wings to fly up there; how can a bird with broken wings fly?"


    Scarlett smiled warmly as she picked up her tea and took a few sips, feigning ignorance of Ian Dous’s implication, "A bird without wings can’t fly doesn’t matter. As long as someone is willing to carry it to the branch, won’t all problems be solved?"
