Chapter 1570: Chapter 1570: Knox Hospitalized

Matthew Saxon let out a small laugh. "He’s not some low-level thug. If Grandpa wants to catch him, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy."

"Look at you, so useless." Ian Douglas shot him a sideways glance. "No matter how formidable he is, if I, your grandpa, personally make a move, you really think I’d let him slip away?"

"He’s just an insignificant nobody, yet he actually dared to play the Saxon Family like this. I want to see just how capable he really is." Ian Douglas had already made up his mind to deal with Maxwell Saxon.

In his view, the only reason Maxwell Saxon had succeeded was because the Saxons hadn’t been wary enough of him.

Otherwise, how could he have gotten his way so easily?

If the Saxons were that easy to take down, they would’ve been finished long ago. How could they have stayed standing for decades?

If it weren’t for that father-son relationship between them, Maxwell Saxon wanting to get close to the Saxons would’ve been harder than reaching the sky, let alone having the chance to poison them long-term through their food and drink.

Ian Douglas was extremely protective of his own people.

Even though he had always held a grudge against Roy Saxon, he still absolutely could not tolerate Maxwell Saxon hurting the Saxons again and again.

One was his son-in-law, the other his grandson, and both had fallen victim to Maxwell Saxon.

A man in his early twenties, yet he could repeatedly ride on the Saxons’ heads and flaunt his power—this was clearly him not taking the Douglas Family or the Saxon Family seriously.

Since Maxwell Saxon dared to wage open war on the Saxons so unscrupulously, there was no reason for him not to accept the fight.

If that little wolf cub ever fell into his hands, he would make sure Maxwell Saxon found life worse than death.

The flash of cold light in Ian Douglas’s eyes made Scarlett Yates shiver despite herself.

She knew a little about Ian Douglas’s methods.

This man moved freely between both the underworld and the legitimate world. If he really decided to act, Maxwell Saxon probably wouldn’t be able to escape.

If Maxwell Saxon truly ended up in Ian Douglas’s hands, Scarlett Yates felt his ending would definitely be miserable.

Ian Douglas was a smiling tiger—he looked easygoing on the surface, but when it was time to be ruthless, he never hesitated.

She didn’t feel even a shred of sympathy for Maxwell Saxon.

She even hoped Ian Douglas could really catch him.

Everyone has to pay the price for the things they’ve done. From the moment Maxwell Saxon decided to target the Saxons, he should have known what he’d be facing.

Later that night, Scarlett Yates was called to Hayes Simmons’s office by a phone call from him.

She had thought Hayes Simmons wanted to talk to her about Matthew Saxon’s current condition, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be about Knox Simmons.

The first thing Hayes Simmons said when he saw her was, "Knox is in the hospital."

"What?" Scarlett Yates was stunned for a moment, surprise flashing across her face.

Hayes Simmons went on, "Gastrointestinal bleeding."

"How did that happen?"

Hayes Simmons gave her a long, measuring look, fell silent for a few seconds, then let out a soft sigh. "The restaurant staff said he ate an entire plate of chili peppers."

The surprise on Scarlett Yates’s face deepened. "He ate a whole plate of chili? Why would he..."

"He was in a bad mood." Before Scarlett Yates could finish, Hayes Simmons sighed again, sounding a little helpless. "I’m guessing this has something to do with you. I didn’t expect him to fall for you for real."

"Scarlett, did you tell him you don’t like him?"

Scarlett Yates stayed quiet for a moment, then nodded. "Didn’t you also say I should’ve told him clearly, sooner rather than later?"

"I did say that. I just didn’t expect your rejection would hit him this hard."
