(Extra 5) “Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends and family, thank you all for honoring me with your presence at my birthday banquet,” Christopher Scott said as he stood up, his face flushed with a beaming smile, holding a microphone in his hand.
After expressing several courteous words of thanks, he smoothly changed the subject.
“However, today is doubly joyous for the Scott family. My great-granddaughter Tania and the head of the Lucas family, Mr. Lucas, have taken a liking to each other, and they will soon be joined in marriage,” he announced.
As he spoke, Mr. Scott gestured for the couple to stand up, “Since everyone is here today, I'd like to share this news with you all, so you can share in my joy!”
The old man's intentions couldn't be clearer; he was also afraid that the Lucas family might back out, so he seized the day to finalize the marriage between 'Aidan Lucas' and the young lady Tania.
Tania Scott stood up beside Nolan Lucas.
One was strikingly handsome, and the other, gracefully beautiful — indeed, a perfect match made in heaven.
The guests showered them with praise and congratulations.
Only Larry Scott, who glanced up briefly before lowering his gaze again.
Ha, the insatiable greed of men is like a snake swallowing an elephant.
He had no desire to deal with the Scott family affairs any longer. Let them embarrass themselves and play the fool if they wished.
At that moment, a sharp exclamation interrupted the lively atmosphere in the banquet hall.
“No, he's not Mr. Lucas!”
Bella Scott suddenly stood up from her seat and pointed at Nolan Lucas, “Grandpa, he's not Mr. Lucas, you've been deceived by him!”
“What nonsense are you talking about!” Not expecting Bella Scott to cause a scene at this time, Mr. Scott's face showed his anger, “You've just come back from M Country and don't know anything. Don't make a fool of yourself here!”
Mason Scott and Isla Poem saw Mr. Scott's anger and desperately tried to signal Bella with their eyes.
They understood why Bella was so indignant.
After all, Hannah Ford was nearly married to Aidan Lucas. Seeing him suddenly marrying Tania Scott, naturally, she would feel disgruntled and jealous.
“He really isn't, Grandpa–I…”
Mr. Scott, known for his volatile temper, saw the whispering among the guests and even Nolan Lucas's displeasure, and he didn't give Bella the chance to keep talking.
Pointing out sternly, “I know what you're jealous of, Bella. Hold back your petty thoughts. Hannah is now the fiancee of the President himself. Everyone has their own fortune, and there's no need for you to seek fairness here!”
Mr. Scott, of course, like Mason and his wife, thought Bella was defending Hannah.
Hmph, if 'Aidan Lucas' were indeed an impostor, Hannah was right there–why didn't she say anything!
Hearing Mr. Scott's words, Bella realized for the first time that Hannah Ford was seated at the main table.
She had been so captivated by the woman who looked strikingly like Lily Gray upon her entrance that she hadn't noticed her beloved Hannah at first glance.
Hannah Ford discreetly gave Bella a look, signaling her not to continue on the topic.
Bella had always listened to Hannah, so she meekly apologized, “I'm sorry, I was mistaken,” before hesitantly sitting down.
Just as she sat down, a cold snort from Noah Ford sounded beside her.
Bella wasn't the only person in the room who had seen the real Aidan Lucas.
The other members of the Ford family had seen him, too.
Sophia Ford dared not speak up, but Noah Ford did, although he chose to remain silent.
The Scott family's attitude humiliated him, being seated in a less distinguished place while the impostor sat at the main table, so naturally, he did not feel inclined to tip off the Scott family.
Only Bella, the foolish woman, would be so inappropriate as to reveal it publicly.
“Lily, no wonder you had the look of someone enjoying the drama; turns out an impostor 'Aidan Lucas' has appeared. What, isn't your man going to come out and set things straight?” Oliver Ford asked in a hushed tone next to Lily.
Upon hearing this, Lily flashed a radiant smile, “He asked me to come ahead, saying he'd give me a surprise… I guess the surprise should be about to arrive now.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than the brightly lit banquet hall suddenly plunged into darkness.
