Chapter 1131: Chapter 1134: Officially Introducing Lily at the Birthday Banquet Chapter 1131: Chapter 1134: Officially Introducing Lily at the Birthday Banquet Larry Scott's eyes quickly flashed a hint of joy.
For many years, he had wanted to act against Bella Scott, but it was only because Grandpa had always protected her that it was delayed until today.
He picked up his cell phone, about to send out notifications, but the old man stopped him.
“No, this isn't right.”
“Grandpa… even now, you still want to protect them?”
Disappointment flashed through Larry's deep black pupils.
“Bella Scott had sought the high monk's help years ago to harm Sylvia's unborn child. Back then, it was you who stopped me from seeking revenge. This incident hurt Sylvia, and all these years have passed; she never once stepped foot in Eastonia.”
“On the surface, Bella cut ties with the Scott family just like Sylvia had, but in reality, you should know. She always had the care of her father and Wendy Jenkins–they never truly cut off relations. The only one who was truly alone and suffering outside was Sylvia! She was the victim, what has she done wrong, and why should she suffer all this?”
“Aaron, when Grandpa stopped you back then, it was all for the prosperity of the Scott family. Your father was the only son, and in your generation, there was only one boy. If Bella truly sought redemption, then it would just be you and Sylvia left in this generation.”
All these years, Mr. Scott had always been playing the peacemaker.
When Wendy Jenkins wanted to act against Larry and Sylvia Scott back then, Mr. Scott had protected them.
When Larry wanted to act against Bella Scott, Mr. Scott had protected Bella.
In short, what Mr. Scott valued was family prosperity.
Because he had only one son, Mason Scott, who almost ruined the Scott family, this made Mr. Scott acutely aware of the flaw of having too few family members.
“Grandpa, if you talk about family bloodlines and prosperity, then let me say this,”
Larry's face grew stern, his expression solemn and commanding.
“They switched Sylvia's child and used Hannah Ford instead, is that not confusing the bloodline? They had someone kidnap Lily, is that not endangering the Scott family? If Lily hadn't been so lucky to live until now and by some twist of fate met David Redington, our Scott family's bloodline would have been muddled by those with ulterior motives!”
Larry's last remark finally moved Mr. Scott.
Nothing was more important than a clear lineage.
Mr. Scott had no choice but to nod, “You're right, they must pay for what they've done. But you don't need to rush things; next month, Grandpa is celebrating his 88th birthday, and at that time, I will settle this matter for you.”
“Grandpa, are you going to…?”
Mr. Scott's change in attitude was so swift that Larry found it hard to believe his own guess.
“Yes.” Mr. Scott nodded, his eyes on Lily with a smile.
Compared to the smile from before, Mr. Scott's smile now was even more affectionate.
The earlier smile was one of familial bonds from a distance, mainly to persuade Lily to urge Sylvia to return.
But now, it was a smile of genuine heartfelt warmth.
Lily Redington was indeed his own great-granddaughter.
“Lily, next month, your great-grandfather is arranging a birthday celebration. It was originally going to be a small gathering, but now… your great-grandfather has decided to host a proper event in B City. At that time, you will officially be introduced to relatives and friends in B City.”
Lily graciously agreed, not minding this at all.
Compared to this, she was more concerned about another matter.
“Then Noah Ford and Bella Scott–what are you planning to do about them, great-grandfather?”
She had said she didn't want revenge.
But that didn't mean she didn't need the Scott family to give her a satisfactory answer.
If Mr. Scott continued solely to protect them, Lily wouldn't mind being like her mother, acting as if she had no relatives here.
“Don't worry, I will call them both back. Before that, let's not let anyone else know about this matter,”
Mr. Scott looked at Larry, “Don't let your parents know either, to prevent them from informing Sylvia and her husband in advance.”
Mr. Scott had decided, under the guise of celebrating his birthday, to allow Bella Scott to return to the country.
At that time, he would personally make sure they gave Lily and Sylvia an explanation.
“All right, we've talked enough for now. Let's go, it's Lily's first time back, let her stay for lunch.”
