/ Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love Chapter 1225
Chapter 1225: Chapter 1228: His Arrival, As If a King Overlooking the World Chapter 1225: Chapter 1228: His Arrival, As If a King Overlooking the World Just as Mr. Scott was holding the microphone, frequently expressing his satisfaction with his great-grandson-in-law,
the golden characters that had been floating mid-air suddenly disappeared.
The entire banquet hall was plunged into darkness once again.
A silver beam of light struck directly onto the stage of the banquet hall.
All eyes followed the beam of light.
Mr. Scott, who had been facing away from the stage, now turned around as if he sensed something.
On stage, a tall and striking figure appeared before everyone's eyes.
The man in the black suit stood onstage, bathed in the silver light, his handsome face as if carved by the hands of a deity.
More than his delicate and stunning features, it was the sharp aura emanating from the man that captured everyone's attention.
He walked from the deepest part of the stage, step by step toward the front.
Finally, the people below the stage could clearly see the look in his eyes at that moment.
They were sharp, with an air of nonchalance as he surveyed the crowd below, like a king looking down upon his realm.
And when that gaze settled on a particular spot in the audience, it suddenly softened.
“He… He's the real Aidan Lucas! The one I've seen… he's the real Mr. Lucas!”
Suddenly, an exclamation shot through the guests.
Sofia Mitchell finally realized what was wrong!
The man escorting Tania Scott did indeed bear some resemblance to the Mr. Lucas in her memory, but the aura of the two men was entirely different.
And now, the man standing onstage was the Mr. Lucas from her memory!
Not only Sofia, but there were also others present who had seen Aidan Lucas before.
Even some who hadn't seen him personally had glimpsed his photo on the rare finance magazine covers.
The reason they had not noticed anything amiss earlier was because Nolan Lucas did bear some similarity to Aidan Lucas, coupled with Mr. Scott's insistent praise.
No one would ever imagine that the illustrious Scott family could make such a mistake!
“Right, this man is Mr. Lucas, I've seen him too!”
“And me… I've seen him too, the eldest daughter of the Scott family's fiance is not Mr. Lucas, this man is!”
Confirmations rose one after another in the crowd.
Some people actually had no opportunity to have met Aidan Lucas, but to avoid appearing as 'visionless' as the Scott family, they too voiced their agreement.
As everyone had their say, Mr. Scott, who had been feeling triumphant just moments ago, suddenly showed a look of embarrassment on his aging face.
Had it not been for his ability to maintain composure in the face of adversity, knowing he could not show any sign of weakness now, he would have probably already lost his seat.
He looked straight at the man on the stage, wondering what he was going to do.
At the same time, the eyes of Aidan Lucas and Lily met in the air.
Lily's eyes hid a smile; so this was the “surprise” he had spoken of.
To her, it was indeed quite a surprise.
But for Mr. Scott and the others, it was all shock and no delight.
Aidan Lucas withdrew his gaze, his cold and sharp eyes softening a bit more than before.
He stood onstage, clapped his hands, and the lights suddenly turned on, the banquet hall once again ablaze with illumination.
The abrupt lighting revealed the awkwardness on the faces of the Scott family, leaving them nowhere to hide.
Mr. Scott remained calm, unfazed.
Larry Scott frowned slightly.
Isabella Martinez's face showed hints of anxiety.
The expressions on Mason Scott and Wendy Jenkins's faces were much more complex, a mix of embarrassment, concern, horror, disbelief, and a variety of other emotions intermingling.
Only Tania Scott, still nestled in Nolan Lucas's arms, looked up at the man onstage with a hint of confusion, but even more so with indignant displeasure.
Aidan Lucas looked down at the audience and curled his thin lips into a smile, walking toward the main table.
“Mr. Scott, your great-grandson-in-law is here to pay tribute on your birthday, and this is the congratulatory gift I have for you.”
