Chapter 1220: Chapter 1223: As Soon as Lily Appears, She Captures Everyone's Attention (Additional Release 2) Chapter 1220: Chapter 1223: As Soon as Lily Appears, She Captures Everyone's Attention (Additional Release 2) Mr. Scott pondered for a few seconds and finally nodded, “Fine, Miss Lily is aware of the bigger picture, so let's give up the two seats reserved for her.”
“We are still short of one seat. Why not let Isabella Martinez give hers up? She and Aaron Smith haven't arrived yet, so let the guests sit now, and we'll just inform her later.”
Wendy Jenkins was right there, seizing the opportunity.
Lacking three seats, even after giving up the two reserved for Lily Redington, there was still one missing.
The ones who had not yet arrived were only the couples Larry Scott and Bella Scott.
Bella was the apple of Wendy Jenkins's eye, and she certainly could not let her daughter, who had just returned home, sit at a secondary table. So, she suggested that Larry Scott's wife, Isabella Martinez, be displaced.
“What nonsense are you talking!” However, Mr. Scott was not confused.
“Larry Scott is my eldest grandson, and Isabella Martinez is the eldest granddaughter-in-law. They must sit at the main table at such an event!” Even if Mr. Scott was confused, he wouldn't mess up the necessary protocols, “No more discussion, arrange Bella's family at the secondary table. There are many of them in their family; why should they be separated?”
This settled it, and the old man made his decision.
Lily's family along with Bella's family were both arranged at the secondary table.
Meanwhile, other guests gradually took their seats.
Sofia Mitchell sat with her companions at a table not too far away, her eyes glued to Nolan Lucas, unblinking.
“Sofia, let it go… Tania Scott must have some luck for Mr. Lucas to take an interest in her. Even if you harbour any thoughts, better keep them to yourself for now, or else be careful if your dad finds out, he will cause you trouble.”
“Yes, Sofia, with both the Lucas family and Scott family supporting her, we better not provoke Tania,” her friends advised her, each adding their own words of caution.
But Sofia seemed obsessed.
She just couldn't take her eyes off Nolan.
It was only after a long while that she frowned and shook her head, “It sort of looks like him and yet it doesn't. Ah, why didn't I dare to take a closer look back then!”
The time she saw Aidan Lucas, his aura of unapproachability had terrified her.
From a distance that was already quite far, she had only glanced at him hurriedly before lowering her head in fear.
Seeing Nolan now, she felt he subtly resembled the Aidan Lucas she met back then, yet she felt his overall aura was very different.
“What do you mean by it looks like him and yet it doesn't? Clarify, Sofia,” her friends prodded.
Sofia, who never had much restraint in speech, upon being asked by her companion, spilled her suspicions.
“What, you're saying that's not Aidan Lucas?!”
“How could that be… Tania Scott has no reason to boast about such a thing. If exposed, it would be so embarrassing.”
Sofia felt the same, and thus she was hesitant to be sure.
“Anyway, I can't really explain it. It's just that he seems different from the Mr. Lucas I met. Do you think Tania and the others might have mistaken someone else for him?”
The others thought Sofia was just jealous of Tania Scott, and since everyone was friends, they didn't contradict her.
They casually agreed with her a few times but didn't take it seriously.
Just then, sudden noise came from the entrance.
A woman dressed in a wine-red dress, arm-in-arm with a strikingly handsome man, appeared at the banquet hall entrance.
“Wow, who is that?”
“Are they from our industry?”
“I don't think so, I've never seen them. But… she is so beautiful…”
Lily's entrance caused a stir among the crowd.
The satin-textured, floor-length gown enveloped her graceful figure.
A makeup that was just right, further enhanced her naturally radiant and charming face, adding a touch of enchantment.
Her naturally pale skin was strikingly pale against the wine-red dress.
This was a beauty, a true beauty.
Upon appearing, she effortlessly attracted the attention of everyone present.
