Chapter 1240: Chapter 1243: Seeing my outcome, are you finally happy? Chapter 1240: Chapter 1243: Seeing my outcome, are you finally happy? Nolan Lucas pushed Tania Scott away and turned toward the other end of the corridor just in time to see Lily Redington leading a little boy upstairs from the staircase.

He frowned slightly, not expecting to encounter Lily Redington here.

But seeing that Lily was standing not too close and appeared natural, he knew his conversation with Tania Scott could not have been overheard, which slightly relaxed his expression.

“Sister-in-law, you’re here,” said Nolan Lucas with a smile, nodding toward Lily.

His gaze landed on the boy’s face, and his smile deepened, becoming more inscrutable, “Is this child… my little nephew?”

Nolan Lucas, with his gentle and cultivated demeanor, looked like a refined gentleman.

But to Lily, this man was nothing short of shameless.

She tightened her grip on her left hand and pulled Ben Lucas behind her, staring back at Nolan Lucas without showing any sign of weakness.

“Mr. Lucas, although you share a surname with my husband, he is an only child with no brothers, much less an older one. I cannot accept being called sister-in-law–Miss Redington will suffice.”

“Ha, I am older than him, so calling you sister-in-law is fitting… however, if you dislike it, I shall call you cousin instead. Once I marry Tania, you should also call me cousin-in-law,” he responded.

Nolan Lucas originally intended to continue taking advantage of Aidan Lucas by calling Lily sister-in-law.

But his sentence was only half-spoken when eight burly men followed by a curvaceous foreign woman suddenly appeared from the staircase, all standing behind Lily with cold expressions.

Nolan Lucas did not need to guess to know that these people were definitely from the Reddington family.

Even though this was Eastonia, thinking of the Reddington family’s power, Nolan Lucas felt some apprehension and reluctantly changed his tone.

“Pfft, what a shameless man!” Sadie, standing behind Lily, asked in French, “Do Eastonians all like to falsely claim relatives? Miss, do you want me to teach him a lesson?”

“No need,” Lily chuckled, shaking her head as she replied in French.

“Not all Eastonians are as shameless as him. Such thick-skinned species are also anomalies among Eastonians. The less you care about such people, the more they boast. After all, ordinary people’s skin is nowhere near as thick as theirs.”

Nolan Lucas knew Eastonian and English, but not French.

He was aware that Lily and the red-haired lady were talking ill of him, but frustratingly, he could not understand a word.

As soon as Sadie and Lily finished speaking, the eight burly men behind them burst into unrestrained laughter.

Despite Nolan Lucas’s deep cunning, faced with the men’s unrestrained and disdainful laughter, he suddenly felt unable to save face.

And Tania Scott, left by the wall and struggling to stand up, felt her face burning hot with embarrassment.

She even regretted having learned French.

Not only was she caught in such a situation by Lily Redington, whom she had always looked down upon, but she could also understand the mocking words.

At that moment, Tania Scott felt profound sadness.

For herself and for seizing such a man who proved to be worthless!

“Cousin, I must leave now for a bit. The old man is in the hospital room, let Tania take you there,” Nolan Lucas, feeling his pride wounded, found an excuse to leave immediately.

He left Tania Scott behind, not caring whether she, facing Lily with eight bodyguards, would be in any trouble.

Watching Nolan Lucas hastily retreat, Tania Scott withdrew her gaze and looked at Lily.

She asked with forced composure, “Humph, you must be happy now seeing what happened to me, aren’t you?”
