Chapter 1134: Chapter 1137: Current Situation of the Scott Family (2) Chapter 1134: Chapter 1137: Current Situation of the Scott Family (2) Mason Scott softened his attitude when he saw how tactful Lily was and even took the initiative to arrange for everyone to sit down for dinner.
After the dishes were served and they had eaten for a while, he suddenly spoke up, “By the way, Dad, during these days, not only the Lucas family but also several other families have expressed their desire to form alliances through marriage with Tania. If Tania's matter with Aidan Lucas is settled, you might need to personally reject those families.”
Those who could form marital alliances with the Scott family were either wealthy or noble.
Mason Scott was worried he couldn't suppress his emotions and didn't want to ask Larry Scott, so he turned to the old man.
He also deliberately said this for Lily Redington to hear.
He wanted this so-called granddaughter, who didn't regard him highly, to understand the vast gap between her and Tania, the legitimate eldest daughter of the Scott family.
It was because Lily Redington did not give him face on her first visit!
The old man naturally understood the stakes; other families couldn't be offended. He nodded and said, “Alright, once the matter between Tania and Aidan Lucas is settled, I will personally respond to those families.”
“Great-grandfather, it would be best to put off the rejections for now,” Lily suddenly spoke up.
Mr. Scott asked, “Why?”
“Because an alliance between my cousin Tania and Aidan Lucas is impossible,” Lily stated clearly, looking straight at the old man, with clear and unwavering eyes.
“What–you said what!” Mason Scott exclaimed, standing up in anger.
“Have the courage to repeat what you just said! Little girl, if you dare curse Tania again, believe it or not, I…”
Mason Scott hadn't finished speaking when Lily spoke again.
“There's nothing I'm afraid to say, cousin Tania and Aidan Lucas's marriage alliance will not succeed. Grandfather, you should consider other plans and stop pursuing Aidan Lucas,” she said.
“You–”
Mason Scott, flustered with embarrassment, took several steps forward and even raised his hand.
Although he was like any other rich young man, because he had often laid hands on Larry Scott and Sylvia Scott since childhood, he naturally felt empowered to act the same with Sylvia Scott's daughter now.
However, this time.
No sooner had Mason Scott taken two steps, than a tall, upright figure stood in his way.
“Dad, if I were you, I wouldn't take another step forward,” Larry said.
Larry Scott's pitch-black pupils coldly settled on Mason Scott's face.
The inscrutable black pupils, severe and imposing.
He stood in front of Mason Scott like a tall, unshakable tree.
In comparison to Mason Scott, Larry Scott, who spent many years in the military, had a robust, well-muscled body, far beyond what Mason could compare to.
He was no longer the boy from Mason's memory who protected his sister by taking beatings with a belt.
The eyes, hidden behind tufted hair in his memories, always dark and resentful, was now calm and steady as they fixed on Mason Scott.
Unlike the younger Larry, who was always quick to show his hatred,
the current Larry was as deep as the ocean, forever concealing his true thoughts in the depths of his heart.
“You… you…”
Mason Scott was intimidated by Larry Scott's oppressive presence.
His knees buckled, and he fell back into his seat.
“Unworthy son, I–I am your father!”
Larry scoffed, “If you weren't my father, you'd be facing worse than just this right now.”
After saying this, he sat back down.
He knew that with the old man present, he couldn't really harm Mason Scott.
Mr. Scott watched the entire scene, unobstructed.
Such confrontations, since Larry grew up and could fight back, occurred almost routinely within the Scott family.
As long as the two didn't really cause a commotion or come to blows, the old man would just turn a blind eye.
