Chapter 1229: Chapter 1232: Thinking They've Won (Extra 2) Chapter 1229: Chapter 1232: Thinking They've Won (Extra 2) “Ethan, it's not true, tell him it's not… none of this is real…” Tania Scott clutched Nolan Lucas's arm, wanting to hear his affirmative answer.
But the familiar warmth and smile were no longer on Nolan Lucas's face.
Since he could no longer maintain the pretense, he might as well tear off the facade completely.
Nolan Lucas had nothing to fear, for Tania Scott was already his, meaning the Scott family would stand by him.
Frank Chamberlain was their ally, and Hannah Coldwell's identity signified the support of Charles Coldwell.
Add to that Theodore Lucas's original network of influence, even if he were to confront Aidan Lucas directly, he would not flinch in the slightest.
“Enough, Tania. How can you still not see the reality at this point?” Nolan Lucas pulled away the hand Tania had placed in his arm, his lip's curl transforming into a sneer.
“He made it very clear. He is Aidan Lucas, and I am Nolan Lucas. I am the true eldest son of the Lucas family, while he is merely the second son. Trust me, siding with me is definitely more promising than following Aidan Lucas.”
“But… why did you deceive me? You clearly aren't Aidan Lucas, so why did you lie to me saying you were?!”
Tania Scott was stubborn, spoiled by the Scott parents since childhood, paying no heed to the occasion, place, or the people present, nor whether it was appropriate to ask such a question.
Now, all she could see and care about was Nolan Lucas.
If her feelings before were deep love, now, in addition to that love, there was an indissoluble doubt and confusion.
With Tania Scott's emotional intelligence, she truly couldn't understand why Nolan Lucas would deceive her!
“Deceive you, have I ever done that?” Nolan Lucas's lips curved into a smile, a once scholarly expression that now appeared almost cruel.
“Have I ever told you that I was Aidan Lucas? From beginning to end, I only ever said that I was Mr. Lucas. Could even that be a mistake?”
“But you… you never denied it…”
“Of course, I wouldn't deny it. One day, I will become the head of the Lucas family, and one day, I will be called Mr. Lucas. All the glory that Aidan Lucas possesses should have been mine. If it weren't for him currying favor with our grandparents, how could these things that rightfully belonged to me end up with him!”
Nolan Lucas's words left Tania Scott speechless.
With her intelligence, she couldn't find any flaws in his argument.
“Mr. Lucas, even if Tania was mistaken, you knew she could misunderstand, so why didn't you clarify with all of us? You may not have lied, but there was a significant risk of misleading. Our two families intended to unite, not to become enemies. This kind of deception is dishonorable, and our Scott family will not let this go!”
At the critical moment, it was Mr. Scott who spoke up.
He had seen through it all; the Lucas family was in the midst of infighting, and now they were trying to drag their Scott family into their disputes.
Recalling the “great-grandson-in-law Aidan Lucas” displayed earlier, Mr. Scott thought he had grasped the truth.
It must have been that Aidan Lucas had fallen for Tania too, and to prevent him from wooing the Scott family, Nolan Lucas acted preemptively by deceiving Tania with some scheme.
And the real Aidan Lucas had specifically arranged this birthday feast to ingratiate himself with Mr. Scott and seek an alliance through marriage.
One must admit, the old man had quite the imagination.
“Mr. Scott, today is your birthday, and I don't want to spoil your mood, but I suggest you think carefully before you speak. After all, some things have already happened, and if faces are to be torn, the one who might get hurt may not be me but Tania.”
Nolan Lucas had truly reached the pinnacle of shamelessness, his expression unchanging as he uttered these threatening words, ensuring that no one could misunderstand his intention.
In the end, he even cast a mocking look at Aidan Lucas, saying, “Little brother, it's a shame you won't be making it as the great-grandson-in-law this time. Sorry, but your older brother has beaten you to it.”
