Chapter 1133: Chapter 1136: Current Situation of the Scott Family (1) Chapter 1133: Chapter 1136: Current Situation of the Scott Family (1) “Dad, I've already arranged everything properly, and the Lucas family is also very satisfied with our Tania. Wait until tonight, once the two young people have met, Ethan Wilson might just bring a gift for your birthday celebration,”
Mason Scott spoke while squeezing past Larry Scott and accompanying Grandpa toward the restaurant.
Larry Scott felt a chill down his spine; if Mason Scott weren't his own father, he really would have smacked him hard.
“Uncle, are you alright?” Lily asked with concern.
“I'm fine, but you… I'm sorry you had to see this farce,” he replied.
With Mr. Scott present, Larry Scott couldn't be too harsh on Mason Scott.
Lily smiled and shook her head, “I said just now, they are them, and you are you; you don't have to pay for their words and actions. However, later on, if my grandfather brings up this matter again, I still should explain it to my great-grandfather. To prevent them from thinking that I'm deliberately enjoying their embarrassment in the future.”
The Scott family members were scheming against her man right in front of her.
She would say what needed to be said, and if they still didn't heed the warning, she could only watch as they made a fool of themselves.
Lily now saw things clearly.
Mr. Scott valued lineage above all else, followed by the interests of the family.
Beyond that, he was somewhat soft-hearted.
Perhaps he was decisive and strong-willed in his youth, but now in his old age, he preferred a life surrounded by his children and grandchildren.
Mason Scott had pinpointed this exact quality, and as an only son, though he was incompetent, he had an advantage over the less articulate and less flattering Larry Scott in front of the old man.
Of course, although Mr. Scott was soft-hearted, he wasn't completely oblivious.
He knew that for the Scott family to continue standing among the top families, they would need Larry Scott.
Therefore, he had been protecting Larry Scott for a very long time.
In short, for Mr. Scott, both Mason Scott and Larry Scott were dear to him.
The four entered the restaurant together, and Lily saw a well-maintained, gentle-looking woman coming to greet them.
She had seen her before and knew she was Wendy Jenkins, also known as Bella Scott's mother.
Unlike Mason Scott, after greeting Mr. Scott warmly, Wendy Jenkins enthusiastically approached and took Lily's hand.
“So you're Lily, I'm your grandmother. From now on, when you come here, treat it like your own home, and don't be formal with your grandmother at all. What a lovely and beautiful girl you are, no wonder Sylvia likes you. Those eyes, they're as if you and Sylvia were cast from the same mold.”
“Tsk… could they not be similar,” Mason Scott scoffed disdainfully, “Would Sylvia bring her home if they weren't alike? It's just a pity that while her appearance is decent, she lacks the temperament of a lady from a distinguished family.”
“Mason Scott, watch your mouth!”
Mr. Scott was frustrated by his inability to live up to expectations; although they could not reveal Lily's true identity yet, to prevent Bella Scott and Noah Ford from hiding away in M Country and daring not to return,
even if Lily really were an adoptive daughter, Mason Scott should not speak to her this way.
Lacking even superficial skills, who knows how many people he would offend in the outside world.
“Dad… I, I'm not telling any lies. Besides, I'm her grandfather, what's wrong with saying a few words to the younger generation?”
Mason Scott looked back and glared at Lily fiercely.
“Lily Redington, I was just speaking the truth earlier. As your elder, I'm worried you're so fixated on climbing up the social ladder that you forget your own identity, so I felt the need to remind you. You wouldn't resent your grandfather for that, would you?”
His inquiry seemed casual, but his eyes bore a threatening severity, and his tone was nasty. It was clear he was threatening Lily.
Lily just smiled, “Of course not.”
She wasn't actually an adopted daughter; why would she be angry?
Let whoever is an adopted daughter be angry.
