Chapter 1180: Chapter 1183: Abbie's Downcast Eyes (Extra 1) Chapter 1180: Chapter 1183: Abbie's Downcast Eyes (Extra 1) The performance report ended predictably with Jordan Lancaster's child taking first place.
After personally seeing his wife and child into the car, Aidan Lucas hastily left.
Larry Scott, on the other hand, hurried off to the military department. He did not disclose the specifics to Lily, only mentioning he had to interrogate a prisoner.
“Ah, I wanted to invite your father and uncle for a grand meal to celebrate, but alas…”
Lily was massaging her three little purses, genuinely baffled by the career-driven nature of men.
What could be more important than your child's growth?
Moreover, she had wanted to use this opportunity to have Aidan Lucas and Larry Scott sit down together.
Because she always felt that Larry Scott's gaze towards Aidan Lucas seemed somewhat dissatisfied.
“Mommy, can we still have our big meal? Lulu wants to eat… no, Lulu wants to celebrate for Brother Charlie! Brother Charlie is awesome!”
“Really, Lulu just wants to celebrate for brother?”
Her own daughter, with a twirl of her round eyes, she knew exactly what was on her mind.
“Yes, Lulu wants to celebrate for brother…”
Abbie casually said, “Since it's a celebration, celebrating anywhere is the same, we might as well go home.”
“Eek!” Lulu let out a strange cry, clearly hurt by Abbie's damning comment.
She was tired of the Michelin-star chef at home; she wanted to go out for a fancy meal!
“Abbie, don't bully Lulu.”
At that moment, it was Charlie showing off his big brother demeanor, “Dad and uncle aren't here, but the four of us going out for a big meal is just as good.”
Lily smiled, “Okay, today we celebrate for Charlie, we'll do whatever Charlie says.”
In fact, she had made that decision originally, just now Lulu was being too silly and almost cried because of Abbie's remark.
“Oh yeah, that's great, we get to have a big meal! Mommy, where are we going for the big meal?” Little Lulu's eyes quickly dried, as if the chubby bun who was about to cry a moment ago wasn't her at all.
Lulu and Charlie both snuggled up to their mother, laughing and chatting, but they didn't notice Abbie's eyes drooping in sadness.

Meanwhile, Larry Scott was the first to return to the military department.
“Commander, that person refuses to tell the truth, claiming her vendetta against Mr. Lucas is due to her disdain for the wealthy,”
His subordinate, the homeroom teacher, had been brought in for interrogation before Larry Scott's return.
“Disdain for the wealthy? Ha, the students at the Royal Military Academy are all either rich or noble. If she despises the wealthy, she should just go volunteer in poverty alleviation instead of working at the academy.”
“Yes. So, we're continuing the interrogation, but…”
“But what?” Larry Scott put his military cap on the table, his piercing gaze fixing on his subordinate.
“Commander, although she won't confess, we found out she's from a Chamberlain family branch. Moreover, her husband also works in the military department.”
“Then perfect, just have her husband come over. I want to know who's behind this, whether it's the Chamberlain family or anyone else.”
To others, this might seem trivial, but Larry Scott's keen intuition told him there was a conspiracy lurking behind it.
Who would target a five-year-old child and even reach into the academy to do so?
Is it the Chamberlain family?
However, the Chamberlain family had always remained neutral, so, who could it be?
As his subordinate was about to leave, he suddenly recalled something.
“Report, Commander, there's something else. Brigadier General Coldwell came looking for you yesterday, saying it was urgent and she needed to see you in person. However, you weren't there at the time; she said she would come again.”
Larry Scott frowned slightly; Erina Coldwell was looking for him?
“Have her come now, I'm available.”
“Uh… Brigadier General Coldwell mentioned she isn't available today.”
Larry Scott glanced at the calendar on the desk, almost forgetting that today was the day Richard Coldwell routinely returned to the military department for meetings.
Erina Coldwell, of course, wouldn't stay at the military department waiting for a chance encounter.
