Chapter 1476: Chapter 1479: Get Out, Illegitimate Children Are Not Welco Here
“Of course, Cory and I are undoubtedly loyal to Eastonia.”
Charles Coldwell did not resign from his position as Frank Chamberlain had hoped.
Instead, his reply was to inform Frank Chamberlain and the others present.
He, Charles Coldwell, would not relinquish his power and leave the military, and his son wouldn’t either.
“Yes, Marshal Coldwell is loyal to Eastonia, we’re well aware of that. With you and Mr. Coldwell at the military, I feel very reassured.”
Frank Chamberlain had to change his tune, not daring to bring up the earlier topic again.
He ca here to win over Charles Coldwell, not to make an enemy. Frank Chamberlain also had Hannah Ford on his mind and since he couldn’t replace Charles Coldwell, he might as well make good use of him.
As long as he could marry his daughter, Charles Coldwell could still beco a support for his own side.
“Mr. Coldwell, tonight’s banquet is prepared for Hannah, let’s not talk about other matters to avoid ruining Hannah’s mood… Let’s pretend that earlier matter never happened.”
Frank Chamberlain took the initiative to bury the hatchet, and the other guests also played along with laughter.
Charles Coldwell nodded and said in a low voice: “That’s fine then.”
After speaking, he stopped pursuing the earlier topic and turned to greet the other guests.
Richard Coldwell and David Redington also approached Lily and Aidan Lucas.
For a mont, the atmosphere on site seed to relax quite a bit.
But, it just so happened that Theodore Lucas and Nolan Lucas were still being held by soldiers.
Charles Coldwell had clearly seen them but did not tell the soldiers to let them go.
Seeing that the Marshal did not give an order, the four soldiers continued their action, grabbing Theodore Lucas and Nolan Lucas to throw them out.
Upon seeing this, Frank Chamberlain promptly pleaded with Charles Coldwell, “Marshal, Mr. Lucas and Mr. Nolan were not aware that the Borkin House is Mr. Coldwell’s maternal family and inadvertently offended Mr. Coldwell. I hope the Marshal can diate in this matter and let them not be driven out.”
After Frank Chamberlain finished speaking, he stepped forward and lowered his voice, “Mr. Lucas is the Pri Minister, please give him so respect, Mr. Coldwell.”
“I’m sorry, that’s a favor I Charles Coldwell probably can’t grant.”
Unlike Frank Chamberlain’s deliberately subdued voice, Charles Coldwell’s was several notches louder than ordinary people.
“I have already told Mr. Lucas before that I, Charles Coldwell, do not welco those with unclear identities and illegitimate children to my banquets.” Charles Coldwell said this, particularly glancing at Aidan Lucas.
His tone was calm but left no room for doubt, “In my presence, Charles Coldwell, I only acknowledge Mr. Lucas as a descendant of the Lucas family.”
“No, it’s not like that… Marshal Coldwell, you misunderstand, I, Nolan Lucas, am also a descendant of the Lucas family, and I am also Aidan Lucas’s…”
“Nolan!!!” Theodore Lucas saw what Nolan Lucas was about to say and abruptly cut him off.
Nolan Lucas was warned by Theodore Lucas’s subtle nacing stare and realized that he almost blurted out that he was the legitimate first-born of the main Lucas family.
In B City, few people knew that Nolan Lucas was Aidan Lucas’s older brother.
Since becoming Pri Minister, Theodore Lucas has been very protective of his own reputation.
He even used his privilege to change Nolan Lucas’s birth date, making him one year younger and publicly claiming he was Aidan Lucas’s younger brother.
Of course, it was just to deceive those who were unaware.
However, when Theodore Lucas brought Nolan Lucas back to the main Lucas family to contest for the family property, he did so on the basis of being the first-born legitimate descendant.
Skilled in deceit and strategy, this is the real Theodore Lucas.
“Mr. Coldwell, you’ve misunderstood our Nolan,” Theodore Lucas hurried to explain as soon as he managed to stop Nolan.
“Nolan is not an illegitimate child, he was also born to my wife. Of course, I have indeed been divorced and remarried, but I and Tara Hammond, my current wife, we have a marriage certificate, a legitimate husband and wife relationship.”
“So, Nolan is not the illegitimate child you speak of, Mr. Coldwell.”
“Not so?” Charles Coldwell laughed.
His ice-cold and stern features seed even more terrifying when he smiled.
“But how co I hear that on the civil registry and family records of the main Lucas family, there is no ntion of this person’s na?”
