Chapter 1214: Chapter 1217: The Birthday Banquet Begins (Extra 3) Chapter 1214: Chapter 1217: The Birthday Banquet Begins (Extra 3) Larry Scott grabbed Isabella Martinez's hand and headed outside, deciding not to return to the Scott family for the next few days.
These people think they're getting a windfall from heaven, but they never consider that such good fortune doesn't just fall out of the sky.
The so-called statement by Mr. Lucas is to be the great-grandson-in-law to the old man.
Without asking, Larry knew there must have been a misunderstanding by Mr. Scott and the others.
The difference between “great-grandson-in-law” and “outside great-grandson-in-law” is just one word.
It could be that they misheard, or perhaps Aidan Lucas's people deliberately omitted the word “outside.”
It's not about setting a trap for the Scott family.
Perhaps they deliberately chose not to emphasize the word “outside” to appear more affectionate.
After all, Aidan Lucas's subordinates could not have predicted that Miss Scott was also coveting Mr. Lucas.

A week went by swiftly, and today marked the 88th birthday of Mr. Scott.
In the most bustling area downtown, the hundred-story Seven-star King's Palace Hotel was crowded with people outside.
All of B City's political dignitaries, military senior executives, and billionaire elites gathered here today.
It was heard that even the President himself would make an appearance.
After all, it's the Scott family we're talking about, and even if Mason Scott's generation has not risen, the combined presence of Mr. Scott and Larry is enough to sustain the family's honor.
Before the banquet began, as the eldest daughter of the Scott family, Tania Scott had already been accompanying Wendy Jenkins and circulating among the guests.
Tania looked exceptionally beautiful tonight in a high-end custom white dress, her long hair elegantly coiled at the back of her head, revealing her delicate earlobes and fair neck.
A striking pear-shaped yellow sapphire necklace hanging at her chest complemented the massive pear-shaped diamond ring on her left ring finger.
The ring's brilliance sparkled under the crystal lights, making it hard not to notice.
“Tania, that necklace is so pretty, it must be worth a fortune!” a few girls close to Tania said as they surrounded her, barely able to hide their envy.
They were all heiresses and ladies from prestigious families, yet Tania has always been the most dazzling and the most doted upon among them.
“I don't know if it's worth a fortune, this was given to me by my great-grandfather as a celebration of my happy occasion…” Tania said before she immediately covered her mouth.
She appeared to be thoroughly vexed by her slip of the tongue.
“What happy occasion? What are you talking about?” someone from the group of girls quickly chimed in.
Although Tania acted as if she had made a mistake, clearly, she wasn't really upset.
Sure enough, as soon as someone asked, with a little encouragement from the other girls, she 'gave in'.
“Alright, alright, you've worn me down… I'll tell you. See, this is it.”
With that, she lifted her left hand, flashing the diamond ring on her ring finger.
“Wow, that's a huge diamond ring!”
“I noticed it earlier… I've wanted to ask about it…”
“Me too, I thought at first it was a costume ring. But taking a closer look, the fire and clarity are all top-grade. Tania, this diamond ring is real, isn't it? Did Mr. Scott give it to you?”
“Of course, it's real.” Tania caressed the diamond ring on her left ring finger with her right hand, nodding slightly with a hint of shyness.
“Look, look, her face is turning red! This ring definitely isn't from Grandpa, nor did Tania buy it herself, it must be a gift from a boyfriend!”
“Wow, Tania, you're in a relationship and you didn't tell us, that's not cool of you!”
The young girls teased and joked with one another, each one talking over the other, and soon they got Tania to come clean.
“Okay, okay, you win. Let me tell you the truth, this… this is my engagement ring. Um… I'm engaged.”
“Engaged to whom?”
“Yeah, how come we haven't heard anything about it!?” The girls all showed expressions of surprise and curiosity.
Tania bit her lower lip, facing persistent questioning, she finally relented and said unwillingly, “It's not… not someone very impressive. It's Aidan Lucas, the head of the Lucas family…”
[Author's Note] My lovelies, I can only update up to this point today, I will make up for it tomorrow. Since I jumped a plot point and went straight to the birthday banquet, I need to think carefully about how the main character should make an entrance in the next chapter.
