Chapter 1213: Chapter 1216: Waiting for Them to Be Beaten Back to Their Original Form (Additional 2) Chapter 1213: Chapter 1216: Waiting for Them to Be Beaten Back to Their Original Form (Additional 2) “Tania, that Lucas boy is commendable. He knows how to show respect and arranged everything perfectly for the banquet. I approve of this great-grandson-in-law. After you marry into the Lucas family, you must be knowledgeable and reasonable, gentle and virtuous, and must not disgrace our Scott family.”
Mr. Scott's words made Mason Scott, Wendy Jenkins, and Thea Scott smile.
Blushing, Tania Scott put on a coy, shy demeanor.
“Great-grandfather, what are you talking about? Nothing's settled yet. Besides, his filial piety is aimed at you, what does that have to do with me? And… didn't Dad say I'm foolish, stupid, and sightless–that I've been deceived? I think, great-grandfather, you should also be careful not to be fooled by others!”
The smugness in Tania Scott's eyes was almost too much to contain. She deliberately spoke this way, casting a reproachful glance at Larry Scott.
At the dining table, everyone seemed to be having a great time, except for two people who remained silent.
Larry Scott, who sat there without a word, looking perfectly composed.
Besides him, there was Isabella Martinez–the biological mother of Tania and Thea, and Larry's wife–who sat with her head down, glancing at Tania repeatedly, as if she wanted to speak but dared not.
While Tania Scott had intended to provoke Larry, seeing him not taking the bait naturally shifted her gaze toward Isabella.
Her biological mother, of humble origins, cautious and unambitious, had always been looked down upon by Tania since she was young.
That was why Tania preferred to stay close to Wendy Jenkins, who was born into a distinguished family and was adept at socializing.
“Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you really think the old man is so easily deceived?” Mason Scott pretended to scold Tania, but his tone was gentle and had no trace of anger.
Even Mr. Scott didn't get angry considering that Tania was about to marry into the Lucas family and that she would elevate the Scott family's status.
“Silly girl, today you met the Executive General Manager who oversees the King's Palace Hotel Group under Royal Palace, a 100% Lucas family direct descendant. Such people won't just come if it's not personally arranged by Aidan Lucas. I guess you guys were right this time. An old man like myself isn't worth such a grand gesture; it must be that he's planning to propose to you at the banquet.”
“That day, remember to dress up beautifully. Dignified and virtuous–you must bring honor to the Scott family.”
Hearing this, Tania Scott also got excited and started planning her outfit for that day.
Her gaze swept over Isabella, then suddenly paused, “Wait a minute…”
“Mom, better not go that day. With your appearance…” that's not fit to show up.
“If Mr. Lucas sees you there, I'm afraid he might think poorly of me… Grandpa, am I right? Shouldn't we keep mom from going?” Tania deliberately asked Mason Scott.
Isabella had married Larry Scott out of good fortune, but there was another story behind it.
Therefore, her status did not match Larry's, and other than Mr. Scott and Larry himself, everyone in the Scott family treated her as someone not fit for high society.
“Tania Scott, do you have the guts to repeat what you just said!”
Before Mason could reply, Larry banged his dishes and cutlery down on the table.
“Larry, let it be, I'm okay…”
Being gentle by nature, Isabella immediately tried to mediate for Tania.
Tania used this opportunity to hide behind the old man.
Her status was on the rise now, and of course, the old man would protect her.
Larry swept his gaze fiercely across Mason, Wendy, Thea, and Tania, and then slightly softened his glare as he looked at the old man.
“Grandpa, please continue, we're full.”
In the end, Larry still didn't say a word.
He had given up on trying to reason.
If the Scott family wanted to continue their foolish antics, let them be. In the end, everything would revert to the truth at the banquet.
