Chapter 1044: Chapter 1047 Visit the Scott Family Personally (2) Chapter 1044: Chapter 1047 Visit the Scott Family Personally (2) For this matter, Sylvia Scott had tried to persuade.
The Duke had even, for the sake of his wife’s mood, talked with her throughout the late night.
But Lily remained unmoved.
Because of this, she and Larry Scott were like enemies, rather than nephew and aunt.
After acknowledging her parents for so many years, this was still the first time she had taken the initiative to seek out Larry Scott.
Thinking back to three years ago, the scene where the man appeared before her, apologizing with red-rimmed eyes and how she had rejected him, Lily hesitated…
Although they had decided not to interact for the rest of their lives, now, for the sake of Abbie and Lulu, she had no choice but to visit proactively.
Suppressing the resistance within her heart, Lily ascended the stone stairs in front of the Scott family mansion and, in the late night, rang the Scott family’s doorbell.
*
Unlike the Coldwell’s family, which had only two guards keeping watch, the Scott family had servants and a butler on night duty, even at late hours.
The gate was cracked open slightly as an old man showed half of his face.
“Who’s there? Ringing the bell at this hour, don’t you know the rules?”
His expression was stern; the first half of his words carried a somewhat gentle tone.
Upon seeing Lily’s face clearly, however, the latter half of his speech abruptly turned disrespectful.
The villa complex inhabited by the military’s senior executives was not a place where just anyone could come and go as they please.
At such a late hour with someone knocking at the door, the old butler Uncle Mark naturally assumed the visitor was one of the military’s senior executives.
Thus, he lowered his voice unconsciously.
But when he saw clearly from the gap in the door that the woman standing outside possessed an excessively young and beautiful face, his tone unintentionally filled with contempt.
“I’m sorry, I’m Lily Redington. Please pass on a message for me; I have something important to discuss with Commander Scott,” Lily said from outside the door, feeling slightly displeased by the butler’s scornful tone.
However, it was late at night, and she knew her visit was quite presumptuous, so she properly explained her identity and purpose.
“Lily Redington?” Uncle Mark frowned in thought.
On the military side, there didn’t seem to be any high-ranking officers with the surname Redington.
The name ‘Lily,’ however, did sound familiar to him, but he couldn’t recall where he’d heard it at the moment.
“The Commander has gone to bed already. Whatever it is, come back tomorrow.”
Uncle Mark was not in the mood to entertain Lily.
She wasn’t a powerful or influential executive; visiting Larry Scott at this time, he wondered if her mind was right.
Uncle Mark was originally a man of Wendy Jenkins, Larry Scott’s stepmother. It was he who had gone to M Country three years ago to help Bella Scott and Hannah Ford orchestrate Lily’s abduction.
Regarding this woman who had suddenly shown up wanting to see Larry Scott, he was not at all interested in assisting her.
After saying his piece, Uncle Mark began to close the door.
“Wait a moment…” Lily put her hand on the door, urgently saying, “I truly have an urgent matter for Commander Scott, please help me.”
“Go away quickly, who will send a message for you this late at night? The Commander has already gone to sleep; don’t cause trouble!”
Uncle Mark, not being one of Larry’s men, wasn’t afraid that sending her away could mess up Larry’s affairs.
Waking up Larry at this time would do Uncle Mark no good if it was the right thing, and if it was wrong, he could end up on the wrong side of luck, possibly being reprimanded by Larry, which would be more trouble than it’s worth.
For that reason, Uncle Mark didn’t care about Lily’s fingers still clinging to the door.
He was going to close the door ruthlessly.
“Go on… Commander Scott isn’t someone you can just see whenever!”
He was closing the door quickly, giving no time for Lily to react.
It seemed as if he didn’t care if he ended up crushing Lily’s fingers with the door.
At that moment, Lily, of course, realized the old butler’s intentions.
Although she had come to seek Larry Scott’s help, she already had a feeling of resistance inside. She could swallow her pride and actively seek help from Larry for the sake of the two babies, but that didn’t mean she was willing to be mistreated by the Scott family like this.
Moreover, this was just a servant of the Scott family, not a real member of the Scott family.
With this in mind, Lily’s eyes narrowed slightly as she firmly held onto the door panel. To Uncle Mark’s complete surprise, she forcefully pulled the Scott family’s main gate open.
