Chapter 1233: Chapter 1236: So Foolish, How Can Soone Be This Foolish! Chapter 1233: Chapter 1236: So Foolish, How Can Soone Be This Foolish! Mason Scott and Wendy Jenkins had just recovered from their shock.
After all, it was their own child whom they had favored for so many years. Even Wendy Jenkins, whose kindness to Tania Scott had a hidden agenda, could not tolerate seeing the girl she had raised being trampled under the foot of an adoptive daughter of Sylvia Scott.
“Tania is right, Lily Redington is indeed just my eldest daughter’s adopted child, and she has no right to be compared with Tania. Mr. Lucas, even if you favor her, you can’t belittle our Tania at such an occasion!”
Supporting the agitated Tania, Wendy Jenkins spoke in a gentle tone, but her words were sharp.
If Lily Redington was rely an adoptive daughter, then Aidan Lucas’s words just now were indeed too much.
This was still Mr. Scott’s birthday banquet, and him publicly stating that the Scott family’s jewel was not as good as an adoptive daughter was akin to slapping the Scott family’s face.
Wendy Jenkins’s deanor might still be considered gentle and courteous, but Mason Scott was not so polite.
“That’s right, Mr. Lucas, let tell you the truth, Lily Redington doesn’t have the slightest bit of ho training. She may be my eldest daughter’s adopted child, but I don’t cover up faults; my eldest daughter herself isn’t anything obedient, and who knows what her adopted daughter is like! Mr. Lucas, if you really want to beco close with our Scott family, you might as well pursue our Tania.”
Mason Scott completely failed to grasp the situation.
Thinking he had understood Aidan Lucas’s heart, he assud Aidan Lucas and Nolan Lucas, as brothers, were competing for the support of the Scott family.
And the best way to gain the Scott family’s support was through alliance.
If Aidan Lucas wanted an alliance, why would he choose an adoptive daughter instead of directly choosing their Tania?
After Mason Scott finished speaking, he suddenly rembered Nolan Lucas.
He added another sentence, “However, if you want to pursue Tania, you’ll have to compete fairly with your brother. Tania is after all the Scott family’s jewel, and just by the tone of your speech earlier, as her grandfather, I feel that you’re not as good as your brother.”
With that, Mason Scott even feigned a regretful sigh.
His deanor was utterly that of a senior.
Stupid, stupid, stupid!
How could the Scott family have soone so stupid!
It was clear to anyone that Nolan was an illegitimate child, and Aidan Lucas didn’t think highly of him; he even hated him.
Mason Scott actually dared to take the initiative to describe their relationship as that of brothers.
No wonder Mr. Scott skipped over his only son and cultivated his grandson; it turned out Mason Scott was that foolish!
The guests who had been watching the dispute from the start were shocked by Mason Scott’s lack of emotional and social intelligence.
Many even decided that if Mr. Lucas and the Scott family fell out today, they would also distance themselves from the Scott family in the future.
At the very least, they would wait until after Mason Scott’s death to associate with the Scott family again.
At this mont, Mason Scott had no idea what others thought of him; he was busy being complacent, thinking he had stood up for the Scott family and gained face.
At that mont, Nolan Lucas, who had been silently watching the drama play out, smiled and finally spoke.
“So this is my sister-in-law… Indeed, very beautiful and attractive.” His seemingly gentle gaze rested on Lily, with a scrutinizing and probing look.
That kind of stare made one uncomfortable, giving Lily an instant chill as if she were being watched by a venomous snake.
Aidan Lucas tightened his hand on her waist slightly and pulled her in closer.
Blocking so of Nolan’s prying eyes in the process.
“Heh, little brother, no need to be nervous. Although sister-in-law is very beautiful, the status of an adoptive daughter really isn’t suited for high society. If this is what you call your great-grandson-in-law, rest assured, I won’t compete with you.”
