"Madam, she’s talking nonsense. The young miss has never..."
Sylvia Scott raised her hand, indicating Sadie not to speak.
She smiled casually, "I thought it was sothing serious. It’s just this. Don’t worry, I’ll handle it, of course, I will."
With a light smile still on Sylvia Scott’s face, she turned back to Lily, "Baby, did you have an affair?"
"..." Lily was speechless.
How could her mom ask such a question!!!
Unable to speak, Lily could only shake her head.
The smile on Sylvia Scott’s lips deepened as she turned to Emily Taylor, "See, I’ve asked her already. Our Lily hasn’t had an affair. This is all a misunderstanding."
"This... This counts as asking? If you ask her, of course she’ll say no!" Emily Taylor felt Sylvia Scott was just brushing her off.
"Why wouldn’t it count? If our baby says no, naturally I believe her. She’s my daughter; if I don’t trust her words, would I trust so outsider’s words instead?"
Sylvia Scott frowned, giving Emily Taylor a disdainful look, "What, are you the type who believes outsiders over her own son? Let tell you, that kind of mother is the dumbest. She’ll only be deceived and taken advantage of by outsiders and end up harming her own child."
"I... of course I’m not..." Emily Taylor’s face turned shades of red and white, feeling a stinging sha.
She had already more than once believed outsiders’ words and nearly wronged Ethan Wilson.
"Since you’re not, then go back and ask your son if our Lily has ever wronged him. If your son says no, you should believe him instead of listening to others’ gossip. And there’s one thing I need to correct you on..."
"Correct on what?" Emily Taylor was left without the strength to retort by Sylvia Scott’s words.
She was used to being a high-status noble lady; she shouldn’t be so weakened.
But the aura emanating from Sylvia Scott involuntarily reminded her of the late Madam Lucas.
Sylvia Scott’s presence was nearly as formidable and intimidating as Madam Lucas—powerful and terrifying.
"Correct your choice of words."
Sylvia Scott swept up her long hair, smirking enchantingly.
"Our baby and your son are rely ordinary friends, so the ’affair’ you just ntioned is simply out of the question. If I ever hear you fabricating rumors again, my lawyer will ensure Mrs. Lucas learns exactly how to write the words ’defamation’."
"They are ordinary friends... Mrs. Redington, do you really think I’m senile? They are married, your daughter went behind my son’s back to et her ex-husband, and stayed in a hotel room for eight hours. How can such a situation not be an affair..."
Emily Taylor hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly she scread.
It turned out that Sylvia Scott had quietly walked up to her and, without a word, slapped Emily Taylor across the face.
"Shut up! I’ve told you, don’t let hear ’affair’ co out of your mouth again! My daughter and your son are no longer related, she is now a free individual and you Lucas family cannot control her!"
Sylvia Scott’s flirtatious face was chillingly cold as she sternly scolded Emily Taylor before signaling Sadie to ’invite’ her out.
After Emily Taylor was reluctantly escorted out, Sylvia Scott turned her head, looking at Lily.
"Where’s your brother? You’re lying here, why isn’t he here?"
"The young master has gone to film." Sadie, who had co in, quickly explained for David Redington.
"Filming at a ti like this? His sister is being bullied and he’s not here! No, I’ll call him..."
Lily grabbed Sylvia Scott’s sleeve, stopping her.
On paper, she wrote, ’I told brother to go... our company is rushing the filming schedule...’
"You... Baby, what’s wrong? You’ve lost your voice?!" Sylvia Scott was suddenly startled.
She had initially thought that Lily was deliberately not speaking to avoid offending Emily Taylor.
