Chapter 1282: Chapter 1285: Lily is Going to Bully Someone Again Chapter 1282: Chapter 1285: Lily is Going to Bully Someone Again “Charles Coldwell, this old man… he’s really going too far!” Nolan Lucas watched Charles Coldwell’s receding figure, his chilly eyes filled with resentment.

He couldn’t understand why Charles Coldwell, who could organize a banquet to introduce Hannah Coldwell’s identity, looked down on him.

That Hannah Coldwell, she’s an illegitimate daughter too!

“Forget it, Nolan, just bear with it for now. We can’t touch him yet. When the entire Lucas family falls into our hands in the future, we’ll settle the score with him.”

The two of them had unexpectedly hit a wall with Charles Coldwell, and when they returned to the Presidential Palace, their moods were sour.

Theodore Lucas hid the altercation that had occurred with Charles Coldwell and reported the content of the meeting to Frank Chamberlain; he also shared the good news that Charles Coldwell was going to hold a banquet to prove Hannah Ford’s identity.

Upon hearing this, Frank Chamberlain’s face lit up with joy.

However, thinking about the troubles in Europe, his brows furrowed again.

“The direction of online public opinion is very unfavorable right now. Aidan Lucas has spent a large sum of money promoting that so-called ‘real video,’ which has garnered many differing voices. The people I arranged to influence the narrative online are also finding it difficult. If we continue like this, even if we can withstand the pressure from Europe and prevent Wendy Jenkins from apologizing, I’m afraid we ultimately won’t be able to withstand the pressure from the public.”

“Hmph, they’re all fools. They believe whatever they see; don’t have a brain in their heads,” Nolan Lucas, upset, spoke without his usual graceful demeanor, instead displaying a sharp and bitter edge.

Theodore Lucas was more rational and experienced than Nolan Lucas. Knowing his son was upset by Charles Coldwell’s words, he was even more anxious to prove his identity.

Theodore Lucas knew there was only one way to raise Nolan Lucas higher.

That was to bring down Aidan Lucas, strip him of all his trump cards, and take possession of the Lucas family for themselves.

Then, he would be the rightful head of the Lucas family, whether he wanted to add Nolan Lucas to the family tree or appoint him as the successor.

Thinking of this, Theodore Lucas said with knitted brows, “With things having escalated this far, we can’t go on without strong measures. There’s no need to continue the verbal dispute with Aidan Lucas. Let the hospital announce that Mason Scott is critically ill, then have Wendy Jenkins find a few media outlets to plead her case. Remember… this time we can only accept interviews from our own people.”

“Then have Vivian Walters submit a divorce application to the court, aiming for a direct split of that bastard’s family property. Also, send someone to convey a message to Simon Taylor. We’ll need his help at the crucial moment, so tell him to be ready.”

Theodore Lucas was indeed shrewd, as his plans quickly took effect.

Even though Mason Scott caused a ‘pregnancy termination’ laughable incident, the undeniable fact was that he was now lying in the ICU room, hovering between life and death.

Wendy Jenkins, especially skilled in acting, sobbed before the cameras, thus garnering even more sympathy.

For a time, the internet even buzzed with the topics “Isla Poem hold on, Isla Poem don’t cry, don’t apologize.”

After watching the latest interview video online, Lily immediately called Jacob.

“Doctor Richardson, are you free? It’s nothing serious–just saw my grandfather’s ‘tragic state’ online and thought of visiting him at the hospital. Would that be convenient?”

“Sure, since that’s the case, I’ll head over now. Please wait for me at the hospital, Doctor Richardson!”

After hanging up, Lily called Sadie, and together with a team, they grandly headed toward First City Hospital.

*
Outside the VIP floor of First City Hospital, a large group of reporters was squeezed together.

They had all been staking out here, hoping to interview Wendy Jenkins or other members of the Scott family.

But during these few days, aside from a few media outlets that were let in, nobody else really had access.

It wasn’t that Wendy Jenkins tactfully rejected them; rather, they were blocked by the hospital.
