Chapter 1123: Chapter 1126: Making Mr. Lucas the Scott Family's Son-in-Law Chapter 1123: Chapter 1126: Making Mr. Lucas the Scott Family's Son-in-Law Larry Scott led Lily into the Scott family's estate for the second time.
This time, no one at the entrance dared to stop them.
But as soon as they stepped past the threshold, without even passing through the living room, they heard a voice brimming with scorn coming from inside.
“She's just an adopted daughter, I don't know what the old man sees in her. If he wants to see her, that's fine, but to have us all come back and wait is a waste of our time. I have a pile of business unfinished outside, and I have Tania's wedding matters to discuss. What a waste of time!”
Lily recognized this voice; she had encountered the speaker that one night.
It was her biological grandfather Mr. Mason's voice.
From his words, it seemed that the old man and the others still believed she was the daughter adopted by Sylvia Scott.
“Mr. Mason, don't be angry, beware lest the old man hears you and takes offense,” a voice with a soft and slight comforting tone spoke up from the side.
This was Wendy Jenkins, the stepmother of Larry and Sylvia Scott and Bella Scott's biological mother.
“But you do have a point. Sylvia is so unfortunate; she couldn't even take care of her own daughter and had to blame us, her family members. Sigh… it's truly heartbreaking. It's been so long, yet she still refuses to forgive Grandpa.”
“Exactly. That girl was doomed from the start; she was weak and sickly since childhood. If it hadn't been for wanting to have her, her mother wouldn't have fallen ill so early. If you ask me, if you're already ill-fated, you shouldn't risk giving birth. Not only did she lose her own daughter, but she also brought in an adopted one.”
“Not only does she delay my business, but she also delays my arrangements for Tania's match-making! Let me tell you, when that girl arrives, I will not show her any kindness!”
He had gone through several connections just to get in touch with Mr. Lucas.
Mr. Lucas had originally declined him, but early this morning he had suddenly changed his mind, agreeing to have dinner with him.
Mr. Mason was so proud of himself!
He suspected that Mr. Lucas must have heard about the marriage arrangements for Tania, which is why he had agreed.
He knew with Tania as his card, all sorts of noble young masters would be eager to become his son-in-law.
At this moment, Lily was outside the door, catching every word from Mr. Mason and Wendy Jenkins.
She listened as Mr. Mason repeatedly called her mother 'doomed' and 'unfortunate'.
Lily's right hand, hanging by her side, had unconsciously clenched into a fist.
Larry's expression was equally awful to behold.
But he stopped Lily in her tracks.
“Let's go, I'll take you to the study,” he said.
Mr. Mason never dared speak like this about Sylvia in Larry's presence, but he had no reservations behind his back.
Larry held nothing but disgust for such a father, even more so than for Wendy Jenkins.
But he had more important matters to attend to and didn't want to cause any further complications.
“But they…”
“We'll meet Grandpa first. You are his great-granddaughter; we must first establish your identity before dealing with the rest,” Larry interjected.
Larry took Lily's hand and, with a stony face, walked toward the study.
Lily followed Larry Scott into the study.
Upon seeing who was in the study, Larry frowned slightly.
Lily, too, felt a touch of surprise.
It turned out that there was not just grandpa in the study, but also another girl of ethereal beauty and poise.
Her hair, lightly curled, draped over her shoulders, and her delicate facial features were striking, radiating the grace and elegance of a lady from a reputable family.
“Grandpa, I've brought Lily over,” Larry shifted his gaze from the girl's face back to the old man.
Lily thought the girl looked somewhat familiar but couldn't recall where she had seen her before.
“Good that you've come, Lily, come here, let your great-grandfather have a look,” Grandpa said with a beaming smile full of wrinkles, seemingly genuinely fond of Lily.
