Chapter 1237: Chapter 1240: What Virtues and Abilities Does She Have to Be Deeply Loved by Such a Man in Her Lifetime (Extra 2) Chapter 1237: Chapter 1240: What Virtues and Abilities Does She Have to Be Deeply Loved by Such a Man in Her Lifetime (Extra 2) Lily was the first to react at the scene.
She immediately ran over and hugged Aidan Lucas from behind.
“Don't hit him, it's not worth it…” She felt the man's tense body gradually soften the moment she embraced him, and Lily quickly told him, “There are too many people here, don't lash out in front of them all. Even if you want to teach him a lesson, we can do it in private.”
She was no saint; even if Mason Scott was her grandfather, she, Lily Redington, wouldn't let him off for humiliating Sylvia Scott, for humiliating her.
But no matter how angry she was, she couldn't resort to violence in front of everyone.
Aidan Lucas's action, though satisfying, was too much.
Mason Scott was, after all, an elder; any accident would be bad for Aidan Lucas.
He wasn't worth Aidan Lucas's reputation.
The leather shoe that had been pressing on Mason Scott's hand finally lifted slowly.
Aidan Lucas turned around and embraced his treasure, and his bloodshot eyes gradually faded, “Fool, as your man, how could I stay calm and watch him insult you. Even if he's your grandfather, it's not allowed. Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, he won't die.”
After gently coaxing her, Aidan Lucas looked around arrogantly.
The eyes that were initially soft instantly filled with a cold warning.
He said indifferently to everyone present, “Lily is not only the daughter of Duke Redington, but also Mrs. Wilson. Anyone who dares to insult or slander her is not only opposing the Reddington family but also opposing me, Aidan Lucas.”
Having said that, he nonchalantly kicked the unconscious Mason Scott, “He is an example.”
“Aidan Lucas, you're too arrogant!” Tania Scott and Wendy Jenkins were livid with rage but dared not approach because Aidan Lucas was standing right beside Mason Scott.
Aidan Lucas gave them a glance, his lips curving with a chillingly cold smile, “Also, I don't have a habit of not hitting women.”
Tania Scott, who was about to continue her tirade, immediately shrank into Wendy Jenkins's embrace.
“You… you really… why did it have to turn out like this…” Although Lily said this, the hand wrapped around Aidan Lucas's waist tightened even more.
She knew very well that such actions from Aidan Lucas were irrational, yet her heart swelled with a warm current.
She clung tightly to Aidan Lucas, burying her head deep in his embrace, struggling to hold back the sourness in her nose.
This man was domineering and ruthless, but he was forever devoted to her.
He would always put her first; despite knowing that hitting Mason Scott was not the rational thing to do, despite knowing such behavior would impact his own reputation, he still did it.
Because that's just the kind of person he was.
The second persona of Aidan Lucas, simple yet dominating in his love.
How had she, Lily Redington, ever deserved to be deeply loved by such a man in this lifetime.
*
Because of this unexpected incident, Mr. Scott's birthday banquet was thoroughly ruined.
A group hurriedly took Mason Scott to the hospital.
Aidan Lucas and Lily, of course, did not go; although Mason Scott was unconscious, she trusted Aidan Lucas's judgment.
If he said the man wouldn't die, then he really wouldn't die.
Moreover, it was too late, and Lily was anxious to return home, not wanting to leave the three babies alone.
But a few hours later, news came from Larry Scott, telling them that Mason Scott was in critical condition, had been issued a critical illness notice, and had been sent to the ICU room, now barely clinging to life, possibly passing away at any moment.
Now, Wendy Jenkins and the others were causing a commotion, planning to make a big deal out of the truth, hoping at best to get rid of his position as Speaker, to have him arrested.
