Chapter 1126: Chapter 1129: I Have a Blind Date with Aidan Lucas Tonight (Extra 3) Chapter 1126: Chapter 1129: I Have a Blind Date with Aidan Lucas Tonight (Extra 3) Tania Scott thought that after she made such a statement, Lily would definitely show signs of fear.
But Lily just nodded along with her words.
“Yes, you're right, cousin. Great-grandfather, my judgment is shallow, and I'm bound to be deceived. You have a better eye, so why don't you help me examine it?”
“Who is your cousin!” Tania Scott burst out angrily.
She had never seen a woman who could climb along the pole so skillfully. Giving a gift was one thing, but to actually hope that her great-grandfather would examine it for her was another.
What did she think her great-grandfather was, one of those cheap experts out there?
“Oh, so you're not my cousin?”
Lily, feigning distraction, furrowed her brow, her voice neither too loud nor too soft, “You look older than me; I thought you were my cousin, but you're actually my younger cousin. Sorry about that, I misspoke earlier.”
“You, you said what…”
“Enough –”
Larry Scott finally spoke up, carrying a cold sternness in his voice.
Tania Scott glared at Lily with a smug look.
Hmph, once you talk out of turn, wait to get scolded by Father.
“Tania Scott, apologize to your younger cousin!”
The smug smile on Tania Scott's face froze; she looked at Larry Scott in disbelief.
“You… what did you say…?”
“I said apologize to Lily, did you hear that!”
“I won't apologize! Why should I apologize!” Tania Scott abruptly teared up, seeming as if she had been greatly wronged.
“Grandpa, look… Dad is scolding me again…” Tania Scott typically complained to the old man.
But the old man's focus was entirely on the five artifacts laid before him.
Especially the last Ru Kiln small bowl, his dearest treasure; no matter how much he looked at it, it was never enough, leaving him no time or energy to deal with the arguments between Tania Scott and Larry Scott that erupted from time to time.
“You still have the nerve to complain to Grandpa, not even considering whether you have behaved like a lady of the house. Lily is your cousin and a guest, and the way you spoke to her earlier was utterly impolite!”
The old man rarely intervened in their father-daughter disputes, and Larry Scott took the opportunity to sternly scold Tania Scott.
“You're making things up! What cousin and guest? Don't think I don't know; she's just an adoptive daughter. Besides, why should I be polite to her? Don't you know, had it not been for her, I would already be sitting in the salon, preparing my look for matchmaking tonight.”
Tania Scott's words finally caught Larry Scott's attention.
He frowned, “You're having a matchmaking date? With whom?”
His daughter was going on a matchmaking date, and he hadn't heard about it; even his wife Isabella Martinez had no clue.
“With Aidan Lucas, head of the Lucas family. I met his family last time I went to A City for a matchmaking banquet. His family was very pleased with me, so tonight, he invited me for dinner.”
To show off in front of Lily, Tania Scott exaggerated the truth.
Sure enough, she saw that the adoptive daughter, holding the gift box, trembled a bit.
“Hey, be careful…” Despite Mr. Scott's age, he was quick on his feet at that moment.
He steadily caught the gift box and placed it on the table, “These several artifacts are invaluable. The great-grandfather has initially judged them to be authentic. However, I still need to put on some gloves and feel them myself, wait a moment.”
The old man seemed not to have heard the quarrel of the young people at all, completely absorbed in the antiques.
The Scott family, initially involved in smuggling, left the old man with quite a number of antiques.
His ability to appraise was vastly superior to those experts out there.
Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly paused and turned around.
Seeing him looking towards her, Tania Scott immediately spread a smile, “Grandpa.”
“Hmm,” the old man nodded, then said: “Tania, please step outside for now. You're chattering here, disturbing me and your cousin Lily from appreciating these treasures.”
