Chapter 1139: Chapter 1142: He Said He Would Come to Propose Marriage on the Day of the Birthday Banquet (Extra 3) Chapter 1139: Chapter 1142: He Said He Would Come to Propose Marriage on the Day of the Birthday Banquet (Extra 3) Nolan Lucas, since he had dared to use Aidan Lucas' identity to lure Tania Scott out for a meeting,
had naturally made thorough preparations to ensure they wouldn't be discovered.
The people sent out by Larry Scott scoured B City for the entire night, to no avail.
It wasn't until dawn the next day that Tania Scott finally returned home, sluggish.
She dragged her sore and tired body into the Scott family's living room.
Although her body was weary and her back nearly broken, everything that had happened last night had left her heart fluttering with excitement.
She didn't regret giving herself to Aidan Lucas before their marriage one bit.
That man was too perfect, he was definitely a man who could match her.
Just as Tania was thinking about heading upstairs to rest, a shout rang out.
“Tania Scott, you've finally returned. Tell me, where were you last night!”
Larry Scott's expression was cold as he blocked Tania's path.
“Dad, why are you so fierce? You're scaring me!” Tania Scott patted her chest, not the least bit intimidated by Larry's sternness.
“I'm asking you, where were you last night? Answer me now!”
“I'm not one of your soldiers, can't you speak to me in a different tone?”
She was now Aidan Lucas' woman and would soon marry him, so she didn't fear Larry Scott as much anymore.
“I went on a blind date last night.” Though she wasn't afraid of Larry, she still answered honestly.
“Who did you go on a blind date with? What did you do, and why are you returning only now?”
Larry Scott was frustrated with her actions but knew that although his daughter was spoiled, she still had her limits.
Over the years, despite the multitude of dazzling suitors, she had never behaved improperly.
“Dad, I told you about this; you truly don't pay attention to my affairs. Aidan Lucas, I went on a blind date with Aidan Lucas. I spent last night with him…”
“You, what did you just say–”
Larry, furious, was about to reprimand Tania when he heard an excited voice coming from upstairs.
“Excellent– I always knew our Tania wouldn't make a mistake. With you on the job, what kind of man couldn't be easily won over? Tania, what did Mr. Lucas say? Did he mention when he will come over to finalize this matter?”
Mason Scott had been listening to the entire conversation from upstairs, now eagerly making his way down.
Tania Scott blushed slightly at her grandfather's words, and said bashfully, “He said… during great-grandfather's birthday next month, he will come to meet the parents and formally propose then.”
“Good, good, good, it's around the same time I expected. The birthday banquet for your great-grandfather will be attended by influential figures; once this marriage is agreed upon there, it definitely won't change.”
Tania Scott knew Mason Scott was worried Aidan Lucas might back out, so she couldn't help speaking on his behalf.
“Grandpa, don't worry. He… he's good to me; he said he'll take responsibility for me. He originally wanted to come back with me today, but a sudden business trip requisitioned him, and he probably won't return until the birthday banquet next month.”
“Look, this is what he gave me.” Tania Scott said, raising her left hand.
A dazzlingly brilliant diamond ring was sitting on her ring finger.
The enormous and pure diamond was obviously worth a fortune.
If Aidan Lucas wanted to deceive her, there was no need for him to give such an expensive gift.
Mason Scott's anxiety eased when he saw the ring on Tania Scott's left hand.
Larry Scott, however, didn't share Mason's view.
Lily had made it clear to him that Aidan Lucas had been at the Manor last night and hadn't gone anywhere.
Tania Scott was obviously being deceived.
He was about to intercept Tania Scott and question her in detail when he heard a voice, old but with robust energy, coming through.
“Tania, go back to your room and rest. Larry, come to the study room.”
Mr. Scott, unbeknownst to them, had appeared at the study room's door.
His penetrating gaze settled on Larry.
