Chapter 1470: Chapter 1473: Treating Legitimate Children Better than Illegitimate Children
He wanted to use the righteousness of the nation to kidnap Richard Coldwell.
He wished nothing more than for Richard Coldwell to kick out David Redington, Lily Redington, and Aidan Lucas, who had arrived with them, right now.
However, his vehent words not only failed to sway Richard Coldwell.
Instead, it caused Richard Coldwell to raise an eyebrow.
“Who might you be?”
Richard Coldwell looked at Nolan Lucas, the temperature in his deep eyes dropping to freezing point.
“Oh, I’ve forgotten to introduce him to Mr. Coldwell.” Frank Chamberlain stepped forward a pace to make the introduction on behalf of Richard Coldwell.
“This is Mr. Lucas, currently serving as the Pri Minister. This young Mr. Lucas is his son, a talented young man indeed.”
“A son?” Richard Coldwell’s mouth twitched in amusent, deliberately glancing at Aidan Lucas nearby.
Aidan Lucas cooperated very well, returning the gaze with a cold and indifferent few words in front of everyone, “Just an illegitimate child.”
“You…” Nolan Lucas’s face darkened instantly, wishing he could smash Aidan Lucas’s face.
In front of so many people, with father present, how dare Aidan Lucas!
Just as Nolan Lucas was about to lose his temper, he was restrained by the arm by Theodore Lucas standing beside him.
“Stop this nonsense!” Theodore Lucas reprimanded Nolan Lucas sharply, “The President and Mr. Coldwell are speaking, when is it your turn to interject!”
With a stern shout from Theodore Lucas, Nolan Lucas’s arrogance was imdiately subdued.
“Mr. Coldwell, I apologize for my son’s youthful arrogance and impulsiveness, which has caused you amusent.” In comparison with the self-proclaid clever but sowhat impatient Nolan Lucas, Theodore Lucas, this old fox, was much more difficult to deal with.
After speaking to Richard Coldwell unassumingly, he took a step forward.
Looking directly at Aidan Lucas, who was expressionless and indifferent.
Theodore Lucas used a voice gentler than the one he used with Nolan Lucas, whispering to Aidan Lucas, “Ethan, Nolan is your brother, and you shouldn’t have spoken to him the way you did just now.”
This was Lily’s first real face-to-face encounter with Theodore Lucas.
Not in the mories of Madam Lucas, not in the recollections of Emily Taylor, nor in the mories of Aidan Lucas.
She was facing Aidan Lucas’s father for the first ti.
From the mont Theodore Lucas entered, Lily had actually noticed him.
He had a face that was extrely similar to Aidan Lucas’s.
He must have been an exceptionally handso man in his youth.
And now, with the baptism of ti, Theodore Lucas looked mature with the charm of a mature man.
Despite being over fifty, he looked almost as if he was just over forty, particularly gentlemanly, elegant and wise.
Only occasionally when he frowned could one vaguely see so of Aidan Lucas’s cold and serious deanor.
Theodore Lucas’s outward scholarly maturity was very different from what Lily had imagined.
But even more different was his tone when he addressed Aidan Lucas.
So gentle, magnanimous, and even carrying a asure of forbearance.
“But never mind, Dad knows you’ve always been resentful and unwilling to forgive Dad and Nolan,” Theodore Lucas seed quite troubled, awkwardly pulling up the corners of his mouth.
Then he turned to Frank Chamberlain and Richard Coldwell, “Mr. President, Mr. Coldwell, I apologize for my lack of discipline with my son that has caused you both embarrassnt, as well as to all the other guests here.”
Having said that, Theodore Lucas suddenly looked at Aidan Lucas, “Ethan, we can talk about this later, tonight we should all give Coldwell’s family the respect, and not argue here.”
It must be said, Theodore Lucas was indeed far more astute than Nolan Lucas.
After the exchange between Aidan Lucas and Nolan Lucas at the Scott family banquet last ti.
Guests here more or less understood the internal conflict within the Lucas family.
The struggle between the legitimate child and the illegitimate child.
The conflict between Sophia Origin and the mistress.
Everyone thought that as their father, Theodore Lucas certainly favored the illegitimate child, not caring for the legitimate one.
Yet today, to discover that Theodore Lucas actually treated the legitimate son better than the illegitimate child.
