Chapter 1221: Chapter 1224: She's Just an Adoptive Daughter, Don't Be So Nice to Her (Add More 3) Chapter 1221: Chapter 1224: She's Just an Adoptive Daughter, Don't Be So Nice to Her (Add More 3) “Who is that, she looks somehow familiar. Do you think she resembles that popular actress recently?” a girl next to Sofia Mitchell asked.
“Not at all,” another girl shook her head, “that actress just oozes cheapness. Look at this one, standing there she seems to radiate light, she's nothing like those rising stars.”
“Wait, now that you mention it, I remember. Are you talking about Lily Gray? I read some gossip online, and it seems she's having an affair with Mr. Lucas.”
“Pfft–”
This time, even Sofia Mitchell, who had been preoccupied, burst out laughing, “That kind of rising star and connections with Mr. Lucas? You must have been dumbfounded by the gossip to believe anything.”
Sofia's table was not the only one enjoying their conversation; the other guests at different tables were also whispering among themselves.
The presence of the suddenly appeared couple was too strong to ignore.
Everyone was eager to know the identity of these two people.
Lily, arm in arm with the man next to her, walked towards the main table.
Meanwhile, the group seated at the main table, watching her approach, each bore a different expression on their faces.
Mr. Scott, the patriarch, looked calm and composed as ever.
Mason Scott's eyes showed disgust, Wendy Jenkins's gaze fell on the man next to Lily, filled with puzzlement.
Tania Scott watched Lily with a guarded face, frequently checking Nolan Lucas's reaction.
Frank Chamberlain and Nolan Lucas both flashed looks of astonishment in their eyes, admiring Lily with an appreciation they themselves hadn't realized.
It was only Hannah Ford.
At the sight of Lily appearing, her body shuddered visibly, that obvious trembling even caught the attention of Frank Chamberlain next to her.
“What's wrong?” Frank Chamberlain asked in a low voice, showing his concern.
“Nothing, nothing. Maybe the air conditioning is set too low, I… I'm a bit cold…”
Hannah Ford's teeth were chattering from fright.
She did not know the identity of this woman resembling Lily Gray, but a woman who could summon over fifty sturdy men with just a phone call was indeed someone to be wary of.
Moreover, she knew Richard Coldwell!
Hannah Ford would never forget what Richard Coldwell had said over that phone call.
“Any bastard claiming to represent the Coldwell family will be disowned, dead or alive!”
Without Richard Coldwell's consent, she dared not get too close to Charles Coldwell using tricks, in case Charles couldn't protect her…
Hannah couldn't bear to think about it and didn't dare to. She quickly lowered her head to diminish her presence.
Before Lily could get close, Mason Scott confronted her.
“How come you two are together?” Mason looked at the man next to her, a face full of disapproval.
Lily raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and did not even call out “grandfather.”
It was the man next to her who smiled and said, “Grandfather, long time no see, how have you been? Lily and I ran into each other outside, my parents are bringing Albert on the road, they'll be here soon.”
It turned out, the man who came in with Lily was Oliver Ford.
When he met Lily outside, as one of the few people who knew Lily wasn't dead and that Lily Redington was the same as Lily Gray, Oliver Ford immediately indulged her and pulled her into his embrace.
After all, he loved his sister dearly, even if she had changed from a sister to a cousin, it was all the same for him.
Mason Scott, hearing Oliver Ford's affectionate address to Lily, turned even sourer.
He didn't know their past, scoffed and said, “Just an adoptive daughter, why are you so nice to her?”
He was afraid his grandson, seeing this beautiful woman, would start to harbor protective feelings for her.
“Adoptive daughter? How can that be, Lily…”
Before he could finish, a small hand pinched him on the waist.
