Chapter 1196: Chapter 1199: The Only Bit of Compassion, Also Gone (Extra 1) Chapter 1196: Chapter 1199: The Only Bit of Compassion, Also Gone (Extra 1) “Lily, it’s almost time for dinner, why are you leaving now?” Emily Taylor called out to her with concern as she saw Lily heading out.

“I’m just going to my uncle’s house. Mom, you can start dinner with the three kids. Don’t wait for me.”

“That won’t do, we will wait for you to eat together,” Emily Taylor insisted, feeling like she had returned to the old days in her recent interactions with Lily.

After all, she wasn’t a heartless mother-in-law. In the past, she had regarded Lily as her own, and their time together lately allowed her to gradually emerge from the misunderstandings of the past.

Towards Lily, she was even better than before.

“Really, Mom, there’s no need. You guys go ahead and eat. I usually eat less in the evening anyway, or you can just save some dishes for me,” Lily replied, declining Emily Taylor’s kindness as she hurried out the door.

Yet she didn’t expect that as soon as she left, a modest black luxury car drove into the Lucas Manor.

Upon arriving at the Scott family, just as a servant was about to lead her to the study room, Lily accidentally came face to face with Tania Scott in the corridor.

The haughty eldest daughter of the Scott family, upon seeing the ‘adoptive daughter’ Lily Redington, lifted her neck, which was already as proud as a swan’s, even higher.

“What’s this? The adoptive daughter has come to our house to mooch a meal and drink again? Right, it’s almost mealtime. You can take this opportunity to eat more of the good food that you don’t usually get when you’re out,” she taunted.

Although the corridor was quite spacious, the eldest daughter of the Scott family insisted on blocking Lily’s path.

She would never forget how resounding the two slaps on her face from the adoptive daughter, Lily, had been.

“A good dog doesn’t block the way; move aside,” Lily said, glancing at Tania with a cold tone.

Any sympathy Lily might have felt for Tania, the victim, evaporated the instant she saw her own pettiness.

“Lily Redington, who are you calling a dog!”

“Whoever blocks the way is the dog,” Lily replied, without batting an eyelid.

“You…” Tania, being very spoiled, was after all a wealthy lady raised with great care.

Even if she wanted to curse, the words would falter on her lips, finding herself unable to utter many swear words.

“Don’t be so smug!” Tania’s face reddened with frustration, then, as if struck by an idea, her eyes brightened and she raised her left hand, displaying her ring finger.

A massive diamond ring adorned her slender, pale finger.

“Lily Redington, take a good look at this! See it? This is the token of affection Aidan Lucas has given me! Soon, he will propose to me in front of everyone. Humph, it’s good that I didn’t listen to you that day. Lily Redington, I know you’re just jealous, jealous that I’m going to marry into a top-tier wealthy family.”

“Humph, such a shallow adoptive daughter. You think, just because I don’t marry Aidan Lucas, you’ll have a chance? You should take a look at where you come from,” she scoffed.

“Let me tell you, once I marry Aidan Lucas, not even Dad will be able to protect you. By that time, I, Tania Scott, will definitely come to you to settle the score for those two slaps!”

Having said her piece, Tania walked past Lily with her chin held high in pride.

With that, the last bit of pity Lily had felt for her disappeared.

Heaven’s wrath is forgivable, self-inflicted disaster is not.

If Tania Scott was determined to jump into a cesspit, no one could stop her.

Entering the study room, Lily encountered Larry Scott.

“Uncle, I’m sorry to have to bring this up, but I must inform you of some bad news,” she said.

Larry Scott’s brow furrowed slightly.

What kind of day was this? He had just learned of one piece of bad news, and now, a second piece was knocking on his door.

“Go on, what is it?” he thought it couldn’t possibly be worse than the news he’d just received.

His youngest son, Alexander Scott, had just been suspended from military service and was under investigation for abuse of power and for issuing false orders from his superiors.

And the person who investigated and told him about this was Erina Coldwell.
