Chapter 1228: Chapter 1231: An illegitimate child also deserves to use the name Aidan Lucas?! (Extra 1) Chapter 1228: Chapter 1231: An illegitimate child also deserves to use the name Aidan Lucas?! (Extra 1) Nolan Lucas's perfect smile instantly cracked.
Words like civil registry and family tree deeply hurt him.
These were the topics he and Evelyn Lucas least wanted to mention in their lifetime.
The archaic and feudal-minded Mr. Lucas and Madam Lucas deserved to die early!
And the contemptuous Lucas family, if not for their obstruction, his and Evelyn's names would have long been written in the civil registry and family tree.
“Brother, you really have a sense of humor. When we were kids, every time we met, it was always 'brother, brother' as you called me. Back then, you were happier than me when I called you 'brother'.”
The young Aidan Lucas, in order to get a nod of approval from Theodore Lucas, didn't hesitate to ingratiate himself with Nolan and Evelyn.
Nolan intentionally said such things not only to let others know that he too carried the Lucas blood and was Aidan's brother, but also to indirectly provoke Aidan, hoping to make him lose his composure.
However, he didn't know.
The Aidan Lucas standing before him was no longer the same as the Aidan Lucas of his childhood.
The more Nolan spoke to provoke, the more he stirred up the underlying hatred in the other's heart.
Aidan Lucas's deep black pupils were suddenly covered with ice, and the way he looked at Nolan was almost like looking at a dead man.
He and the first personality were different; the first could speak officialese and use cunning to scheme against others.
He, however, lacked this patience.
For the second personality, nothing was more useful than force.
And in situations where force couldn't be used, only the simplest and most piercing language was needed, to strike right at the heart.
He looked coldly at Nolan, “You really tell funny jokes. I, Aidan Lucas, am a legitimate child, registered under the Lucas civil registry and family tree, a rightful descendent of the Lucas family. You, Nolan Lucas, are just an illegitimate child raised by a mistress, what right do you have to perform this fraternal charade in front of me.”
Nolan Lucas never expected Aidan to tear off the facade, and he found himself choked up, unable to respond.
The more prominent families there were, the more they cared about face.
In the past, even if both sides had fierce arguments, neither Emily Taylor nor Aidan Lucas would ever discuss this matter in public.
Nolan had been sure of this and that's why he had dared to be so unrestrained just now.
But Nolan didn't know.
The man before him was no longer the man he had dealt with in the past.
This was another Aidan Lucas.
This was the Aidan Lucas who would break Theodore Lucas's leg without a word.
As soon as Aidan uttered these words, a commotion immediately erupted.
Most of the guests present, except for a very few, were not aware of the undercurrents within the Lucas family.
Not to mention, it involved a dispute between legitimate and illegitimate children.
“Aidan Lucas, recognize where you are, don't go crazy here!” Nolan Lucas warned in a lowered voice, with veins throbbing on his forehead.
“Speaking of going crazy, I'm nowhere near as good as you guys,” Aidan retorted without giving Nolan any face, continuing coldly and with piercing clarity in every word.
“As an illegitimate child, who was born a few months before the legitimate child, not only do you not know how to keep a low profile, but you also have the audacity to go around using the legitimate child's photo to deceive others.”
As Aidan spoke, a bloodthirsty cold smile played on his lips as he looked towards Tania Scott.
“He dares to use the three words 'Aidan Lucas'? That's the name personally given by my Grandpa, and this illegitimate child doesn't even have the right to be held in front of my Grandpa, let alone be seen by him. Only a fool like you could be deceived by such a person.”
“No… this can't be… no…” Tania Scott couldn't handle Aidan's bloodthirsty and cold gaze, shaking her head and retreating repeatedly.
She couldn't believe, and dared not believe, that she, the eldest daughter of the Scott family, had been deceived by an illegitimate child!
