Chapter 1204: Chapter 1207: The Suddenly Appearing Child (Extra 1) Chapter 1204: Chapter 1207: The Suddenly Appearing Child (Extra 1) “Who's the substitute?”
Evelyn Lucas narrowed her eyes slightly, surprised that someone could think faster and further ahead than them.
“Unclear, but it's obvious that Aidan Lucas has been charmed by the other party. If Vivian Walters is planning to play the sympathy card to get back into Aidan Lucas's life, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.”
“Brother, I've said it before, Vivian doesn't have the capability. If you ask me, we shouldn't beat around the bush. We should just build up our momentum and then hit Aidan Lucas with a divorce lawsuit directly. Take half of his fortune, and if it doesn't kill him, it'll at least skin him. Once we have half of the Lucas family's assets in our hands and then team up with Frank Chamberlain to attack the Royal Palace, Aidan Lucas won't be able to hold on to the last of his fortune,” Evelyn Lucas said as she turned her head to Frank Chamberlain with a smile, “Frank, don't you agree?”
“Yes, Evelyn's right,” he replied.
The smile that played on Evelyn's lips nearly made him lose his focus.
Nolan Lucas certainly noticed Frank Chamberlain's reaction and thought to himself that his little sister had boundless charm. With a crooked smile, he said, “Since the President himself is willing to help, this will be much simpler. Since everyone of importance in B City will be at Mr. Scott's birthday banquet, let's just make Vivian… no, let's make Lily Gray cause a huge scene.”
As long as he could secure his engagement to Tania Scott, why would he care if Mr. Scott's birthday banquet got ruined afterward?

While Theodore Lucas and others were conspiring, Lily had already returned to the Manor.
As soon as she entered the main gate, she could hear the sound of children crying.
“Wah wah wah, aunt… they're bullying me, they're ganging up on me…”
“Wah wah wah… I want my Mom, I want my sister, I want my Dad…”
A somewhat familiar sound of a boy crying came from the Main Hall.
Following that, Lulu's voice whined in complaint, “No no… it was him who made fun of Lulu. He said Lulu's hands look like pig's trotters, and Andrew only kicked him to stand up for Lulu.”
“It's not true, aunt, wah wah… it's them bullying me, they want to push Paul away!”
At first, Lily couldn't make out clearly, but when she heard the word 'Paul', she immediately guessed who was crying.
Charles Taylor!?
With Simon Taylor having already fallen out with Emily Taylor, why would Charles Taylor be here?
Lily's heart raced with anxiety as she hurried inside, her mind flashing with all kinds of dreadful thoughts.
Milly Gray had confessed, and now Simon Taylor was on Theodore Lucas's side. If Charles Taylor was here, could it mean that Simon Taylor had also come?
In her rush, she walked into the side hall and just happened to see Emily Taylor in a state of distress, softly consoling Lulu.
And Charles Taylor was sitting all alone on the floor, weeping bitterly.
Lily had initially worried that Emily Taylor would show favoritism towards Charles Taylor.
Turns out she had been concerned for nothing.
In front of her own grandchildren, even Charles Taylor, the only heir of the Taylors, wasn't given such importance after all.
“Mom, I'm back…” Lily spoke up as she approached Emily Taylor.
“What's all this about? How did this happen? That's Paul; how did he end up here?” she asked.
Upon hearing Lily's question, Emily Taylor's look of difficulty deepened.
“Mommy… you're finally back, Lulu wants Mommy's hug…” As soon as Lulu saw her mother, she broke away from her grandmother's grasp and flung herself into her Mom's arms.
Her hand, wrapped in gauze because the doctor feared she might rub off the medication applied for a burn wound, now looked quite comical.
Emily Taylor held Lulu's hand, which suddenly became free.
And she could only watch as her granddaughter rushed into her mother's embrace.
“There, there, why are you crying again over such a small thing?” Lily, not noticing the awkwardness on Emily Taylor's face, took Lulu into her arms.
The silent Andrew also moved closer to his mother.
He looked aside, a flush of embarrassment on his face, “Mommy, I admit… it was me who hit first.”
