Chapter 1216: Chapter 1216: I’m Staying Here Tonight
Leave?
Having already arrived at the hospital and seeing Matthew Saxon, how could Scarlett Yates possibly bear to leave?
Without thinking twice, she shook her head and refused: "Uncle Marshall, I don’t want to go back. Tell Dad, I’m staying here tonight."
Uncle Marshall hesitated for a moment, frowned, and said, "But Sir said the rich lady must return in an hour."
This rich lady is truly headstrong, agreeing so well before coming, but now changing her mind so quickly.
"Then you tell him I’m not going back." Scarlett’s attitude was firm. She absolutely couldn’t leave, but she didn’t want to make things hard for Uncle Marshall. Thinking for a moment, she added, "If you find it inconvenient to say, then just dial the phone, and I’ll tell him myself."
She could see that Uncle Marshall was somewhat afraid of Noah Yates. When she said she wouldn’t go back, his expression changed.
Scarlett found it very ironic.
Years ago, the gentle man who was well-liked by neighbors is now someone even those around him fear.
Time truly can change many things.
"It’s nothing inconvenient, I’ll call Sir now and tell him about the rich lady’s situation." Uncle Marshall understood that this rich lady was different from Sir’s other two children; Sir’s words seemed to mean nothing to her.
Since she could ignore Sir’s words, she was even less likely to listen to his persuasion, and he couldn’t force her. So he had to call Sir first.
Uncle Marshall soon dialed the phone, sounding very respectful. Saying a few words, he conveyed Scarlett’s decision to Noah Yates.
Unclear of what Noah Yates said, Uncle Marshall simply responded with several yeses and then hung up the phone.
While Uncle Marshall spoke on the phone, he appeared to be in a submissive, reverent posture, almost as if reporting to Noah Yates face to face, with that inner respect always on display.
To inspire genuine reverence in someone only shows that the person being revered is very remarkable.
How much has Noah Yates really changed over the years?
The gentle and affectionate father she remembered can never come back, can he?
Scarlett felt very disappointed, very sad, as if she’d lost something precious.
After Uncle Marshall hung up the phone, he slowly raised his head and conveyed Noah Yates’s words to Scarlett word for word: "Miss, Sir said he can agree to your request, but you must return early tomorrow morning and go back to the old residence with him."
If she were to return to the old residence with Noah Yates tomorrow, she would be added to the Yates Family genealogy, becoming a member of the Yates Family from then on.
Transforming from an ordinary person to a wealthy rich lady is likely a temptation many women cannot refuse.
After all, who wouldn’t want to become an elite, living a life of wealth and power?
Compared to marrying a wealthy man, possessing a naturally illustrious identity is much more reliable and useful than the former.
Having the identity of a rich lady seems like she carries a halo.
Perhaps to outsiders, considering Noah Yates’s current status, having already a son and daughter, yet still formally acknowledging her and writing her into the Yates Family genealogy counts as a considerate and dutiful act.
It should be known that once she becomes a Yates Family rich lady, the identity is distinctly different, with the backing of a major family like the Yates, whatever she does in the future will be well-supported.
