Chapter 1215: Chapter 1218: Mr. Lucas Has Arrived Chapter 1215: Chapter 1218: Mr. Lucas Has Arrived “Head of the Lucas family!”
“Mr. Lucas!”
A burst of exclamations erupted among the girls, some surprised, but even more shocked and envious.
“Tania, Mr. Lucas proposed to you? Come on, spill the beans, what exactly happened, how did you two meet?”
“Yeah, yeah, you've been keeping this a secret from us for so long. When did you meet Mr. Lucas, and how come there's been no hint of it? Tania, you really know how to keep a secret!”
“It's not that I've been keeping it a secret, it's just that he is, well, a bit low-key…” Recalling her fiance's strikingly handsome appearance and his noble and gentle demeanor, Tania Scott couldn't help blushing.
Such a wonderful man, and he happens to be her fiance.
He gave her a diamond ring as large as a pigeon's egg; he was not only good to her but to her family as well.
Even for Grandpa's birthday banquet, he had specially arranged for an entire floor of the hotel banquet hall for their use.
It was not that the Scott family couldn't afford the hotel charges.
But it wasn't about the money.
It showed that Aidan Lucas really cared for her, for he took care of her family as well.
Thinking of this, the smile at the corner of Tania's lips deepened.
Among the girls, there were those who were friends with Tania, and naturally, there were those who seemed amicable on the surface but were inwardly striving to outdo her.
One of the girls was surnamed Mitchell, named Sofia Mitchell, a daughter of The Mitchells.
She believed she was no less than Tania in terms of family background or appearance, yet in high society, she was always overshadowed by Tania.
Hearing Tania's words, Sofia couldn't help snorting, “Mr. Lucas is nothing special, it's only a second marriage anyway. Tania, I advise you to think it over, Mr. Lucas might not be as good as you think. If you really marry him, watch out–you might end up being someone's stepmother!”
The death of Aidan Lucas's late wife in the bombings was no secret in the high society of Eastonia.
That he had a son was also well known.
Sofia Mitchell was bothered by Tania Scott and even more jealous that she could marry Aidan Lucas.
Even though she knew Aidan Lucas's status would attract people even if it were his second, third, or fourth marriage, she still couldn't resist making barbed comments.
Of course, Tania wouldn't allow her heartthrob to be maligned by others and, angered and embarrassed, retorted, “Whether Mr. Lucas is good or not, I clearly know better than you. Some people can't eat the grapes and say they are sour, when in reality, they are just jealous.”
“What did you say… Who's jealous of you!”
Stepping on Sofia's sore spot, Tania raised her voice, “Tania Scott, don't think too highly of yourself. All this talk about Mr. Lucas and an engagement is just you spouting nonsense. If he really valued you, then why isn't he here for your great-grandfather's big birthday celebration today!?”
Just as the words left her mouth, a commotion arose from the entrance of the banquet hall.
“It's the President… The President has arrived! And Mr. Lucas, too!”
Hearing the words of the people in front, Tania turned around, giving Sofia a faint smile.
While appearing calm and composed, her smile was filled with the triumphant scorn of a victor towards the defeated.
“Alright, my fiance is here, I'll go over to him first. Ladies, please excuse me for a moment, and enjoy yourselves tonight.”
Tania Scott lifted her chin slightly, and amidst the enviably jealous glances of the other girls, she picked up her dress and slowly walked toward the crowd bustling at the grand entrance of the banquet hall.
The other girls, wary of the President and Aidan Lucas's statuses, dared not approach too closely, but they followed Tania, wanting to catch a glimpse of the President and the constantly elusive Mr. Lucas.
But Sofia Mitchell stood her ground, refusing to step forward.
“Come on, Sofia, let's go have a look. I've seen the President on the television before, but as for the head of the Lucas family, I haven't had the chance yet!” A few girls who were close friends with Sofia Mitchell had refrained from going because they were considering her feelings.
“Hmph, what's there to see! I've seen Aidan Lucas before, no matter how handsome he is, it's just another pair of eyes and a mouth.”
The head of the Lucas family has always been a mystery and rarely seen by outsiders.
Especially here in B City, there were very few who had ever seen him.
Sofia had caught just a distant glimpse of him a long time ago, while accompanying her father.
