Chapter 1234: Chapter 1237: Never heard of the Redington family, but you must have heard of the Reddington family, right? Chapter 1234: Chapter 1237: Never heard of the Redington family, but you must have heard of the Reddington family, right? Nolan Lucas's eyes, somewhat resembling Aidan Lucas's narrow ones, flashed with schadenfreude and contempt.
Aidan Lucas, is merely like this after all.
Obsessed with trivial love and affection, he ended up falling in love with an adoptive daughter of the Scott family.
Many who disapproved of an illegitimate child quietly worried for Aidan Lucas.
Especially Sofia Mitchell, who, had her status allowed it, would have loved nothing more than to slap Nolan across the face.
Too arrogant, too shameless!
Although Mr. Lucas was formidable, if Tania Scott truly married Nolan, the dynamics within the Lucas family might undergo an earth-shattering change.
“Not fit for high society, is it?” Just as the atmosphere grew tense, Lily took a step forward and suddenly emerged from Aidan Lucas's protection.
She was never one to just take insults lying down.
Seeing Nolan so arrogant instantly set her temper rising.
Lily raised an eyebrow at Nolan, her beautiful almond eyes glimmering with charm.
“However, even you, an illegitimate child, can shamelessly show your face in public and spout nonsense here without feeling embarrassed. So, what's wrong with being an adoptive daughter? An adoptive daughter, no matter how low her status, is still better than a despicable illegitimate child, right?”
“You–” Nolan was once again stepped on his sore spot.
And by this adoptive daughter that he didn't take seriously, one who he regarded as nothing more than a vase.
Enraged, he almost lost his composure fit for a gentleman of his standing.
Just as he wanted to teach Lily a lesson, he saw the woman he underestimated smiling brightly with a curve of her lips, “Furthermore, I am not just any adoptive daughter. My name is Lily Redington, the bona fide young lady of the Redington family.”
“Hmph…” Although Lily's sudden smile dazzled Nolan, he still remembered their hostile standing.
He sneered disdainfully, “The Redington family? I've never heard of them.”
But Lily wasn't angered, she simply stated, “If you haven't heard of the surname 'Redington,' then you must surely know of the Redington family. Besides my Chinese Name, Lily Redington, I also have a foreign name–Alice Redington. That's me.”
“Redington… to be from the Redington family!”
“What the hell is going on? Did someone from the previous generation of the Scott family marry into the Redington family? But how come I've never heard of this? If that's true, why haven't there been any interactions between the Scott and Redington families?!”
“Well, come to think of it, I have indeed heard a rumor. The intricacies involved are quite deep. Let's watch the drama first, then discuss after!”
The guests were thoroughly shocked.
The Redington family, that's an old aristocracy of Europe, almost mythical in stature.
Tonight's birthday banquet was truly climax after climax, one shocking truth after another leaving everyone overwhelmed.
After Lily finished speaking, she naturally looked at Nolan and, before she could throw a few more taunts, the hand on her waist tightened.
In an instant, she was pulled back into the man's embrace, even tighter than before.
Lily gave him an annoyed glance.
What a domineering and jealous man; he didn't even need to say anything for her to smell the vinegar just because she had spoken a few more words to Nolan.
“So what if you're from the Redington family!” At that moment, Tania Scott suddenly interjected, “Even if your last name is Redington, you are still an adoptive daughter. Even if you were lucky enough to have your name on the civil registry, you're still just an adoptive daughter, one that can't make it to the public stage!”
