Chapter 1486: Chapter 1489: Things That Can’t Be Shown Publicly are Indeed Embarrassing

Frank Chamberlain had always heard that Charles Coldwell’s country was not only formidable in warfare but even superior in manipulating people’s hearts compared to ordinary officials.

He hadn’t felt it before, but now, he deeply did.

"I... am not..."

Frank Chamberlain wanted to tell Charles Coldwell’s country that he would not marry Hannah Ford, and he and Hannah Ford were not in the kind of relationship everyone thought.

But now, everyone looked at him with a mix of admiration and reverence, and the words on the tip of his tongue simply could not be spoken.

The guests present almost included the majority of Eastonia’s elites and dignitaries.

If he didn’t want to lose their support, if he didn’t want to disappoint them, he couldn’t tell them that everything just now was an act, that he didn’t love Hannah Ford at all.

"Fine... I understand. I thank Marshal Coldwell for his generosity; I will take Hannah away now." Frank Chamberlain gritted his teeth and swallowed this humiliation.

But in his heart, he thought that he must severely torment Hannah Ford once they returned.

He helped Hannah Ford up and quickly left under the escort of guards.

As he was leaving, passing by Theodore Lucas and Nolan Lucas, Theodore Lucas clearly wanted to speak to him, but was coldly ignored by Frank Chamberlain.

"Mr. Lucas." Charles Coldwell called out to stop Theodore Lucas, who wanted to leave with Frank Chamberlain.

"My Coldwell family does not welcome any illegitimate child who cannot show their face in public. If Mr. Lucas wishes to visit the Coldwell family again, remember to not bring those disgraceful things."

"Marshal Coldwell worries too much; I, Theodore Lucas, will never visit again in the future," Theodore Lucas straightened his back, showing more backbone than Charles Coldwell had anticipated.

Not using a cane, the old injury in his right leg was subtly painful.

Still, he stood firmly.

Nolan Lucas, who had been released by the soldiers by now and standing beside the upright Theodore, almost had his head sunk into his chest, far from the confident aristocratic presence he usually had.

Degeneration from generation to generation, compared to the heir of the Lucas family personally raised by Mr. Lucas.

Nolan Lucas was beyond just a notch below Theodore Lucas and Aidan Lucas.

"Pathetic things that cannot show their face in public, indeed shameful," Charles Coldwell’s indifferent comment elicited an adversarial look from Theodore Lucas.

Even at this moment, Theodore Lucas still treated the illegitimate child like a treasure.

"Nolan, let’s go," he supported his son, trying to make him hold his head high.

But Nolan Lucas, who had grown up smoothly under the path laid out by Theodore Lucas, had already broken down inside.

For the first time in public, being directly exposed as an illegitimate child.

For the first time, being trampled underfoot by someone of higher status, becoming the laughing stock of others.

Such a blow was too great and overwhelming for him.

He wasn’t mentally prepared at all.

"Dad, let’s go, quickly," Nolan Lucas said, refusing to raise his head, and quickly walked away with his head lowered.

Watching his son hurry away.

Theodore Lucas silently sighed.

Before leaving, he turned back and took a deep look at Aidan Lucas and the woman he held in his embrace.

Good, very good.

He would make this disobedient son and his beloved woman understand what kind of consequences angering him could bring.

The next day, Aidan Lucas’s appointment as Speaker was finally officially confirmed.

Even though previously entangled in negativity, after a period of strategizing, the deep-rooted influence of the Lucas family allowed Aidan Lucas to achieve a landslide victory in the final voting.

The temporary investigation concluded, and Aidan Lucas could finally take office officially.

"Mr. Lucas, congratulations on your successful appointment. Now that you have successfully taken office as Speaker, do you have anything you would like to say?"
