"No way!" Ian Douglas hardened his face, his fox-like narrow eyes squinting as he said coldly, "How can we turn a blind eye to this? Are you suggesting I accept that Yates girl? Matthew's status is noble and should find someone of equivalent standing. Even if it's not the Simmons girl, it shouldn't be Scarlett Yates. This girl's roots are problematic. She's already bewitched Matthew into doing so many absurd things, and won't it get even worse in the future?"
Uncle Spencer frowned and reminded, "But the Young Master is engaged to her, and they're mutually in love. Sir, are you really going to break them up? It wouldn't matter much otherwise, but I'm just worried it might affect your relationship with the Young Master."
Ian Douglas snorted indifferently, "She's just a woman, would Matthew really give up on me, his own grandfather, for her? An engagement set casually in childhood, without any written agreement, how can it be taken seriously?"
