Chapter 1242: Chapter 1245: The First Accident Chapter 1242: Chapter 1245: The First Accident “Aidan Lucas's Lady-in-waiting has long been dead, a fact known to all. You rashly come out and tell me that Aidan Lucas still has a family, what am I to believe? If you had revealed your identity back then, the situation would have been different, at least Miss Redington's words would have drawn enough of my attention.”
“Ultimately… Lily Redington, it was you who doomed me!”
“Nonsense.” Lily retorted Tania Scott's conclusion without any politeness.
“You blame me for not revealing my identity, why don't you blame your own insatiable greed? What does it matter that I'm an adoptive daughter? Even if I am, had you not harbored hopes that your family background and beauty could captivate Aidan Lucas, you wouldn't have ended up where you are now. Ultimately, your current plight stems from your own greed and bringing it upon yourself.”
“I… I didn't…”
“Don't hurry to deny. Tania Scott, ask your conscience, did you truly not know about Aidan Lucas's family back then, or did you harbor the thought of becoming the other woman just to rise to the top?”
She had told Tania Scott more than once, clearly, that Aidan Lucas had a wife and children.
If Tania Scott had even a bit of moral integrity, she wouldn't have pursued a blind date.
If Tania Scott were just foolish, she might not have ended up like this.
But she was not just foolish, she was also greedy.
A person who is both foolish and greedy is bound to be deceived.
“I… I…” Tania Scott tried to speak several times, but the words “I didn't” simply couldn't come out.
Lily ruthlessly exposed her thoughts under the sunlight for all to see.
Everyone is not a fool.
Her little schemes and tricks, how could they fool anyone?
Tania Scott had to admit.
This time she lost, thoroughly defeated, so beaten that even if she wanted to shift the blame onto others, she couldn't.
The anger on Tania Scott's face gradually faded, she lowered her once haughty chin, bowing her always raised head.
Tania Scott, as if drained of all strength, stopped struggling, leaned against the wall, and slowly slid down.
Her entire person seemed to have collapsed, squatting there, curling up.
In that instant, she lost all vitality.
If it were in the past, seeing Tania Scott like this, Lily would definitely feel a surge of sympathy.
But after all her experiences, seeing such a result, she couldn't muster a sliver of pity.
A person must pay the price for everything they do.
If it wasn't for Aidan Lucas's complete devotion to her, if it wasn't because Simon Taylor had just fallen out with the Lucas family, perhaps Tania Scott would have already climbed into Aidan Lucas's bed through Simon Taylor.
By then, who would have come to pity her and the three babies?
“Ugh…” Just then, Tania Scott squatting on the ground suddenly started to retch.
She seemed very uncomfortable, retched a couple of times, then used the wall to stand up, staggering toward the bathroom.
This condition was all too familiar to Lily.
She turned and looked at Sadie.
“Should I go check on her?” Sadie asked Lily with a shrug, clearly dissatisfied with Tania Scott.
Still single, Sadie failed to see the signs, only feeling that Tania Scott was feigning to garner sympathy.
Lily thought about it and handed Ben Lucas over to Sadie.
“Never mind, I'll go take a look.” She was all too familiar with that reaction.
Tania Scott was most likely pregnant with Nolan Lucas's child.
Although she didn't have much affection for Tania Scott, she was still Larry Scott's daughter.
If she were Tania Scott, she would choose to terminate the pregnancy before everything blew up.
Nolan Lucas is not to be trusted, and if he found out about the child, Tania Scott would never be able to escape!

Lily followed Tania Scott into the women's bathroom.
Inside, she saw Tania Scott leaning over the sink, retching.
The faucet was on, and even though the sound of running water masked most of the noise, her violently shuddering shoulders revealed that Tania Scott was not only vomiting, but also silently sobbing.
