Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love Chapter 1248 - 1248 1251 Trying to Deceive Ben Lucas Again

Chapter 1248: Chapter 1251: Trying to Deceive Ben Lucas Again (Extra 1) Chapter 1248: Chapter 1251: Trying to Deceive Ben Lucas Again (Extra 1) “Ben…”

The old man savored the na for a mont, “That’s a nice na. Is that your nickna? What’s your full na?”

The wrinkles on Mr. Scott’s face seed to squeeze together in concentration.

Just a mont ago, his face, indifferent upon seeing Bella Scott, was now full of smiles.

“Jordan Lancaster, Ben’s full na is Jordan Lancaster,” Lily stepped forward, holding Ben’s shoulder and said to the old man.

“Jordan Lancaster…” Mr. Scott slowly chewed over the na, “Very good, very good. Both nas are nice.”

“Co… Your great-grandfather has a gift for you,” the old man said, while removing a jade token from his neck.

It was a piece of jade that was completely moist and erald green, yet seed almost translucent in the light.

The Scott family originally started with smuggling cultural relics, and their family tradition involved using various high-quality jades to make these tokens.

And the one around Mr. Scott’s neck was the topmost and the most precious one of all.

It was a true treasure of the Scott family, invaluable beyond asure.

“This gift is too valuable, no…” Lily hadn’t finished her refusal when a discordant voice interrupted.

“Father-in-law, wasn’t this jade token supposed to be passed on to Mr. Mason? Mr. Mason is still lying in there; are you really giving up on him now?!”

Wendy Jenkins did not dare confront Mr. Scott directly, but she was highly skilled at manipulating situations to her advantage under the guise of soft and gentle maneuvers.

Her eyes, vulnerable and desolate, shimred with tears as she looked helplessly at Mr. Scott.

Lily had no particular interest in the jade token, but seeing Wendy act this way suddenly piqued her curiosity.

Wendy was virtually an enhanced version of Hannah Ford.

No wonder, after she married Mason Scott, she managed to make him completely detest his original wife who bore him two children.

Thinking of what Wendy had done to Sylvia Scott and Larry Scott, Lily slightly tightened her grip on Ben’s shoulder.

Understanding her cue, Ben blinked his eyes, which were as black as obsidian, and considerately said, “Great-grandfather, this is your possession, Ben should not ask for it carelessly. Please listen to the old lady and leave the jade token for her.”

Ben’s use of ‘old lady’ sounded as if he truly didn’t know Wendy’s role.

And that was only natural; he hadn’t t the Scott family mbers before and was unclear about everyone’s identity.

Plus, given his innocent child’s speech, no one could bla him for a mistaken address.

Wendy who heard herself being called ‘old lady’ by Ben, a flash of anger swept across her well-maintained face.

No one had ever dared to speak to her that way to her face!

“Silly child, what old lady? That’s your great-grandmother,” Mr. Scott corrected Ben, but he didn’t stop his actions, and directly hung the jade token around Ben’s neck.

“Take it. You said it yourself: this belongs to your great-grandfather. I can give it to whoever I choose, and I don’t need others to dictate what I should do.”

Ben’s words had already soured Mr. Scott’s opinion of Wendy.

How dare she suggest that he, the head of the household, should act on a daughter-in-law’s counsel.

If he really listened to Wendy, where would his authority stand?

“But…” Ben pouted, seemingly wanting to refuse.

The old man imdiately signaled to Lily with his eyes.

Lily then gently rubbed Ben’s head, signaling him to accept it.

Seeing Ben finally accept the jade token, Mr. Scott breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasn’t mistaken.

This child was destined for greatness.

Having t Ben, Mr. Scott was even more convinced of the correctness of standing with Lily and Aidan Lucas.

“Ben, seeing you healthy and well, grandmother is really happy,” Bella Scott, having just stopped her tears, suddenly spoke up.

“Grandmother?” Ben looked back at the sound, his gaze towards Bella filled with confusion.

“Yes,” Bella smiled gently, “You might not know yet, but I am your grandmother.”
