Chapter 1235: Chapter 1238: The Rightful Heiress of the Reddington Family Chapter 1235: Chapter 1238: The Rightful Heiress of the Reddington Family Even though Wendy Jenkins was clinging on to Tania Scott, she couldn't help but jump out at this moment.
Miss Scott had always been the center of everyone's attention since she was young, but just a moment ago, she saw all the eyes in the room drawn to Lily Redington.
Even Nolan Lucas had a look of amazement in his eyes.
She would not allow, absolutely not allow an adoptive daughter to steal her thunder!
“Lily Redington, with your background and status, what makes you think you can compete with me? What right do you have to make such grand statements? The capital you brag about, which part of it wasn't charity from my aunt? Let me tell you, an adoptive daughter like you has no right to speak here. If you have any conscience, get out of here right now!”
At this point, Tania Scott had adopted the full demeanor of a Miss Scott.
She couldn't let Lily Redington continue standing there, couldn't let her keep stealing her limelight.
Lily Redington was like a luminous body; whether in appearance, temperament, or speech, she simply didn't resemble a lowly adoptive daughter.
If she were allowed to go on, Tania Scott feared that after today, her title as the number one socialite of B City would be taken by Lily Redington, that lowly adoptive daughter.
“Background and status… In the end, that's what the eldest daughter of the Scott family values. But what can we do? It just so happens that I have the exact background and status that Miss Scott values the most.”
Lily genuinely felt sorry for her uncle.
How could a man like Larry Scott produce such a brainless daughter as Tania Scott?
“You… what do you mean…?” Tania Scott suddenly had a very bad feeling.
Instead of answering directly, Lily chuckled softly, looking at Mr. Scott, who had been silent with a steely face.
She looked at Mr. Scott and said softly, “Great-grandfather, since everyone is here today, why don't you tell them the truth?”
Lily was doing this on purpose, deliberately so.
She was forcing Mr. Scott to take a side.
“I… this…” Mr. Scott had been wavering.
The reason he had been silent was that he was waiting for the final outcome.
It was obvious that the people present had split into two camps.
One side led by Aidan Lucas and Lily Redington, and the other by Nolan Lucas and Tania Scott.
Each side would have people declaring their allegiance, and each would have its own trump cards.
Mr. Scott, crafty even in his old age, naturally would not immediately enter the fray.
He was waiting, waiting for Aidan Lucas and Nolan Lucas to reveal their trump cards in turn, waiting for the situation in the room to stabilize, and then he would commit to the side with the advantage.
But now, Lily was suddenly demanding that he declare his stance.
Forcing him to make clear where he stood.
Mr. Scott glanced at Aidan Lucas and Lily, then at Nolan Lucas and Tania Scott.
He also looked toward Mason Scott and his wife, as well as Larry Scott and his wife.
“Great-grandfather, everyone is waiting,” Lily said with a smirk, the Reddington family stood behind her–not just Aidan Lucas.
Clearly, Mr. Scott understood this as well.
Hearing Lily's urging, he closed his eyes, forcing himself to think calmly.
Right then, Tania Scott's slightly petulant voice rose, “Great-grandfather, why bother being courteous with this adoptive daughter. Even if aunt took her in, that still doesn't overstep your authority. Just have someone throw her out and never let her enter our Scott family's door again.”
Tania Scott's words seemed to be the last straw that broke Mr. Scott's resolve.
In his hesitation, Mr. Scott eventually opened his eyes.
Well then, if Tania Scott still couldn't read the way the wind was blowing and, even if she could be supported to marry into the Lucas family, was likely unable to uphold the Scott family's facade.
Since Tania Scott was unsuitable for the task, then the future of the Scott family would have to be entrusted to Lily Redington.
As long as he stood with Lily today, no matter what, the descendants of the Scott family could count on her care in the future.
Mr. Scott was a man who knew when to advance and when to retreat, and he quickly made his decision.
He lifted his somewhat cloudy but still shrewd eyes, looking between Lily and Tania Scott.
“Listen carefully, Tania my dear, Lily is not an adoptive daughter, she is your cousin, your blood cousin. She is also the biological daughter of your aunt Sylvia Scott and Duke Redington, the rightful Miss of the Reddington family.”
