Chapter 1048: Chapter 1051: Her Relationship with Larry Scott (1) Chapter 1048: Chapter 1051: Her Relationship with Larry Scott (1) “You…you're talking nonsense!” Mason Scott shouted, cutting off Lily's words.
But when Lily looked up at him, he instinctively turned away, unable to bear direct eye contact with her pair of eyes, which were strikingly similar to his own.
His voice escalated, fierce on the outside but hollow inside, as he tried to cover up his own guilt.
“Larry Scott holds the prestigious position of a military commander, what grievances could he possibly have? In the Scott family, his rank is the highest. Who would have the audacity to aggrieve him? You, an outsider, understand nothing, and you come here in the dead of night only to meddle in the Scott family's internal affairs?”
“Let me tell you…it doesn't matter who you are. Whether you are someone Larry Scott keeps on the side or any other fling, the Scott family does not welcome you!”
“You guys…gag her, and take her to the guard post. Tell them, this person acts suspiciously, showing up at Commander Scott's place in the middle of the night causing trouble–she could very well be a spy sent by someone with ulterior motives!”
This woman had a pair of eyes that Mason Scott instinctively wanted to dodge.
He no longer dared to lay a hand on her himself, so he let the guards take action.
However, as soon as these words had left his mouth, a cold and stern voice came from behind the entrance.
“A spy, interested in our Scott family's affairs? Father, don't you think your explanation is too foolish?”
The entrance was lit up, but only a dim lamp remained on in the living room.
This made the interior light of the living room very dark.
This made the figure standing inside the living room somewhat dim, indistinct.
Lily, like everyone else, turned towards the living room upon hearing the voice.
As footsteps approached, the tall and imposing silhouette of a man began to emerge from the darkness.
He was dressed in a dark-colored house robe.
The casual style slightly softened his sharp and distinct facial features.
Yet, the cold aura he exuded was more oppressive than ever.
Larry Scott, that was he, walking out from the darkness.
Lily frowned slightly. She had expected to face resistance when venturing to the Scott family unannounced.
But it was only upon her arrival that she realized the obstruction wasn't the issue; the problem lay in the internal state of the Scott family.
She had no idea what Larry Scott would do upon seeing her.
After all, it was she who had shut him out all these years.
Perhaps, Larry Scott would want revenge.
Simultaneously, Larry Scott stopped in his tracks.
His ice-cold gaze swept over Mason Scott, leaving him stupefied.
Ignoring Wendy Jenkins, who was at a loss for words.
Glancing at Tania Scott, who was tenderly holding the Amethyst.
Finally, his eyes settled on Lily's face.
The frigid black eyes of his contracted slightly.
Upon clearly seeing Lily's features, Larry Scott, who usually showed little emotion, for the first time hesitated.
Wendy Jenkins, who had been attentively observing Larry Scott's every move, did not miss this shift in his gaze.
She was about to say something when Larry Scott issued a clear and concise order, “Let her go.”
The two guards did not dare to hesitate for even a second, and quickly released her.
“Are you alright?” Lily had barely steadied herself when Larry Scott approached her nervously.
If he weren't afraid of his niece's resistance, he would have longed to check for injuries by holding her wrist himself.
Lily raised her eyebrows slightly, unaccustomed to Larry Scott's proximity.
But she knew that this time, Larry Scott had helped her.
“I'm fine.”
Glancing at the others who were keenly observing her and Larry Scott, she said indifferently, “I have urgent matters to discuss with you, let's… find a quiet place to talk.”
