/ Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love Chapter 1129
Chapter 1129: Chapter 1132: Almost Made the Old Man Regret to Death Chapter 1129: Chapter 1132: Almost Made the Old Man Regret to Death Lily saw what was happening and chose not to argue with Larry Scott.
Any parent might be protective or biased at times, and she could understand Larry.
He had not blindly defended Tania Scott but had also reprimanded her, which was commendable.
As for Tania, she would pay the price for her recklessness and ignorance.
Thinking this, Lily walked to the desk and began to pack the valuable collectibles displayed on it into the gift box, one by one.
In just a moment, the five gift boxes were restored to their original state.
Lily looked up and said to Larry, “Uncle, have your people send these out for me, deliver them to Sebastian Lucas VII.”
Pfft, she was no fool to just hand them over to Mr. Scott for free.
“You're not giving them to the old man anymore?”
Larry's expression changed slightly, as the old man had just entered the other room in high spirits to fetch tools for appraising these treasures.
If he came out and found the items missing, who knew what his reaction would be.
Lily, catching Larry's disapproving and slightly concerned look, smirked, “Don't worry, I have a plan.”
She had already decided, if this great-grandfather really treated her well, giving him these gifts as a form of filial piety would be appropriate.
But if his intentions towards her were not pure, then she wouldn't naively hand over these treasures, highly prized in the eyes of outsiders, to him.
Larry worried that doing so would upset the old man.
But the items were Lily's, and she had the right to decide; Larry could not stop her.
Moreover, the jade token the old man had shown earlier was clearly a perfunctory gesture towards the child.
Larry had realized that Lily, who appeared fragile, had a character much like Sylvia's.
If you treat me well, I will treat you even better, just as Sylvia does to him.
But if you treat me badly, then I will not show you a kind face, just like Sylvia's relationship with the Scott family.
If they had fallen out, they had fallen out, even though there had been signs of easing under his and the old man's several attempts to mend things.
But Sylvia had left Eastonia decades ago and had not set foot back since, which was proof of that.
After Larry instructed his people to send the five gift boxes away, Mr. Scott came out of the small study room, ecstatic, holding his treasure appraisal tools.
“What are you all standing around for? Sit down. Lily, you are such a good child. This great-grandfather will have his eyes opened wide…”
“What's going on? Where are the items, those treasures?”
“Grandpa…”
Worried that Lily might not handle it well, Larry was about to take the blame for her, only to see Lily looking remorsefully at the old man.
“Great-grandfather, I'm sorry. It was my fault. I brought those forged items before you without verifying if they were genuine, almost causing you to tarnish your eyesight. Fortunately, my cousin Tania warned me. She said those five pieces were clearly fake and suggested I remove them quickly before embarrassing myself.”
“Remove… removed…” The old man's smile froze, “You…you took all the items away!?”
“Yes.” Lily nodded, looking innocent.
“Cousin Tania was right, those forged items would have tarnished your eyes, great-grandfather. I'm sorry, it was my poor judgment that led me to select these items as gifts. But don't worry, when I go back, I will definitely pick a genuine piece to bring to you.”
“You…” Mr. Scott was almost in tears.
His beloved Ru Kiln! That Ru Kiln small blue-green bowl was almost certainly authentic based on his years of experience.
He had gone to fetch his tools to appraise and confirm its authenticity.
Now, Mr. Scott was filled with regret and frustration.
But even with his regret, the old man couldn't directly ask the younger generation for the items back.
He couldn't bring himself to lower his pride.
