Chapter 642: Chapter 645: Forcing Aidan Lucas to Bow Down
Thankfully, Bella Scott’s condition was better than expected.
Even though she was bleeding from a head injury and temporarily lost consciousness, tily surgery saved her life.
What was even more comforting for everyone was that the surgical outco was great; as long as she received proper restorative care and rest, there would be no lingering consequences.
This allowed the Ford family to breathe a sigh of relief.
Only after the surgery had finished and dical staff had Bella moved into a room next to Hannah Ford’s did they find the ti to sit down with Aidan Lucas.
“Mr. Cooper, you must give our family an explanation for this!” said Noah Ford, his expression serious as he sat opposite Aidan.
Next to him were Oliver Ford and Albert Landers. Oliver’s face looked grim, but as his initial anger gradually faded, a hint of worry appeared on his brow.
In contrast, Albert’s peach-flower eyes, resembling those of Bella and Lily Gray, were filled with unbridled fury.
If it weren’t for Noah and Oliver being there, he would definitely have punched Aidan hard!
As Aidan faced the different expressions of the Ford n, the corner of his lips curled up, and a touch of impatience flickered in his cold black pupils. “There’s nothing much to explain; I just did what I had to do.”
“What did you say—” Albert leapt up angrily. “I’ll beat you to death if you dare!”
“Albert, calm down!”
“I don’t believe you.” The iciness in Aidan’s eyes never faded.
His cold gaze swept over Noah and landed on Albert’s face.
He raised an eyebrow at Albert, who was desperately being held back by Oliver. “You’re still too naïve to challenge .”
“You…” Albert, provoked by Aidan, was furious, “Let go of , bro! I have to teach this man a lesson. He’s just begging for a beating…”
“Enough—” Noah took a deep breath, not venting his anger at Aidan but instead scowling at Albert. “This is a conversation between adults. Mind your own business and keep quiet!”
Unable to distinguish between right and wrong, the child spoiled by Bella showed his true colors!
Noah couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, as he couldn’t fully trust Albert. Were it not for Lily Gray’s relationship with Aidan, could they really sit down and negotiate with Ethan so calmly?
Having thought this through, Noah retracted his gaze and turned it back to the man sitting opposite him.
Aidan Lucas, the man currently in power at the Lucas family; At such a young age, he took over the reins from Mr. Lucas, and since then… No one had been able to shake his position.
Noah knew that asking for a resolution would be difficult.
However, he was the head of the Ford family, Bella was his wife, and Aidan…in so sense, was his son-in-law.
If he showed weakness now, it’d be…
Having considered the implications, Noah gritted his teeth and spoke up, “Mr. Cooper, if you insist on not apologizing, I think… I’ll have no choice but to tell Lilith about this.”
Truthfully, he didn’t want a real resolution.
After all, Bella’s head injury required surgery, as long as Aidan apologized, it would give the Ford family so face-saving, and the rest could be discussed.
Unfortunately, Aidan showed no intention of yielding. “You won’t be seeing Lily.”
He wouldn’t back down, nor would allow them to disturb Lily.
However, Noah just smiled. “But Mr. Cooper, ever since Lilith recognized us, her mother visits her daily. Whenever we’re free, we visit her too. If we suddenly stop showing up, how would she feel? Lilith isn’t a fool; you wouldn’t be able to hide this from her for long.”
Aidan: “…”
“So, Mr. Cooper, just lower your head and apologize to Lilith’s mother. It would indeed be difficult for the head of the Lucas family to do so, but as a son-in-law, I don’t think it’s too unreasonable.”
Noah felt he wasn’t asking too much.
This was simply a private apology, a compromise.
All he wanted was an explanation within their family.
