Chapter 974: Chapter 977: Birthday Party (5) Chapter 974: Chapter 977: Birthday Party (5) “…” Emma Shaw was frightened into silence by Aidan Lucas’s words.
In the past, even if Aidan Lucas didn’t hold much regard for her as an aunt, he would at most be slightly cold in his deanor, but he had never spoken to her with such a chilling and venomous tone.
But now…
Emma’s heart trembled with fear, yet she could not hide the inexplicable thrill of excitent in her heart.
After eting Lily Redington, she had been nothing but complintary. Even such behavior from her was t with a harsh threat from Aidan Lucas.
If they went in later and the other mbers of The Taylors saw Miss Redington, there was no telling what kind of scene it would cause.
Emma couldn’t help thinking about what Dominic Taylor had told her.
Simon Taylor said that Lily Redington had sched to take Rowena Gray’s shares and even frad Rowena to end up in the detention centre.
Not only that, but she had also deliberately had plastic surgery to look like Lily Gray, all to seduce Aidan Lucas.
Emma had carefully observed Lily Redington today and found that, although her temperant differed slightly from Lily Gray’s, her appearance indeed greatly resembled the forr Lily Gray.
Heh, she thought with glee at the misfortune of others.
Once they were inside, she wondered how the other mbers of The Taylors would react upon seeing her.
If Milly Gray acted impulsively and got into a conflict with her, Aidan Lucas surely wouldn’t let Milly off the hook.
“Ethan, you’re right, Miss Redington is beautiful but she’s yours after all. Aunt understands, Aunt won’t look anymore…”
Emma said with a placid face, flattering him, and didn’t forget to give Lily a sycophantic smile.
Lily frowned slightly, having noticed at the previous banquet that Emma’s situation within The Taylors was probably not good.
Now, seeing Emma buttering her up, it seed her conjecture was indeed correct.
Just as she was thinking this, she heard Emma say, “Ethan, Aunt was just coming out to find Ben. Your grandmother has arrived, and everyone is inside, chatting around her. The old lady wants to see Ben, and just as he happened to be away, I had to co out and look for him.”
Emma was giving Aidan Lucas a heads up about the situation inside, while also trying to curry favor.
She reported in advance, telling Aidan Lucas that everyone inside was hovering around the grandmother, flattering her, to the extent that when the grandmother wanted to see Ben, nobody was willing to go out and call for him.
And at such tis, it was she, Emma Shaw, who was willing to co out, showing her true care for Ben.
“Ethan, there are so things that shouldn’t be said by , your aunt. But for your and Ben’s sake, Aunt thinks it’s necessary to offer so advice…”
Emma lowered her voice, showing a hint of mystery.
“As you know, Paul is always sweet-talking, and the grandmother likes him very much. Just now inside, well… perhaps out of childish indiscretion, the child carelessly spoke a few words against Ben in front of the old lady. Although one shouldn’t take a child’s words seriously, I’m just afraid the grandmother might get the wrong impression of Ben.”
“Ethan, when you go in later, you’d better bring Ben and say a few auspicious words to the grandmother. The grandmother is an elder, so don’t let Ben upset her.”
The man furrowed his brows slightly, his eyes colder than before, “Today is Charlie’s Grandma’s birthday, and he will only say auspicious words to his grandma.”
The implication was clear, regardless of whatever the grandmother thought, Aidan Lucas’s son would not dean himself to please her deliberately.
Emma was taken aback, then quickly said, “Ethan, you’re right. It was Aunt who got it wrong. Co on, let’s go in. We shouldn’t be standing here.”
