Chapter 402: Chapter 405: Advancing the Kidnapping
With great difficulty, the second heir used her cunning tactics to marry Noah Ford.
Originally, it was thought that from then on, the old lady would have the support of an additional member from the Ford family.
It turned out that all the second heir wanted was love.
After marrying Noah Ford, she never thought of going back to help the old lady.
Afterwards, such a thing happened. Not only did they completely sever ties with the Scott family, but they also offended the young lady’s husband’s family, the Reddington family.
Thinking of this, Uncle Mark’s gaze towards Hannah Ford became even more unfriendly.
Alas, Miss Bright turns out to be just like the second heir. Apart from burdening the old lady, she has no usefulness at all.
If it weren’t for the favor she had received from Mr. Lucas, how could the old lady have intervened on her behalf and dealt with Mr. Lucas’s women?
“Alright, Miss Bright… I’m leaving now. The old lady is still waiting for me to return to Eastonia to report the situation.”
Of course, he wouldn’t tell Hannah Ford that his trip back to Eastonia was to deal with Lily Gray.
“Hold on, Uncle Mark… let me accompany you for a while.”
At this moment, Mrs. Holbrook brought an overcoat downstairs.
Seeing that Hannah was talking to someone from the Scott family, she put the overcoat on her and then retreated to the side.
Uncle Mark felt surprised, but as Miss Bright insisted on accompanying him, he couldn’t refuse.
Fortunately, Hannah Ford left the villa with him.
Outside the villa, there were well-trimmed flower beds and a vast golf course.
The Scott family’s car was parked in the driveway a few hundred meters away.
Hannah accompanied Uncle Mark for a while, and neither of them spoke.
Only when they had walked halfway and there was no one around did Hannah suddenly speak up.
“Uncle Mark… I just overheard my mother saying that she wants to ask my grandmother to intervene and deal with the young lady of the Lucas family. Is that true?”
Uncle Mark’s footsteps paused, and his face showed slight surprise.
But soon, he regained his composure. “Miss Bright, you must have misheard. Our Scott family in B City has always kept to ourselves, not interfering with the Lucas family in A City.”
“Uncle Mark doesn’t need to hide it. 1 know all about it. Uncle Mark must have heard about my relationship with the current head of the Lucas family, Aidan Lucas… My mother wants my grandmother to intervene and remove an obstacle for me,”
While Hannah was saying this, her eyes were cold and clear, completely different from her usual weakness and pity.
Uncle Mark couldn’t help but take this all in. This was the first time he had seen Miss Bright like this.
“Don’t worry, Uncle Mark. I’m not here to stop you. On the contrary, I feel that my mother and grandmother’s arrangements are somewhat inappropriate. I just heard that my grandmother seems to be planning to take action after the banquet. 1 came over to accompany Uncle Mark to convey a message to my grandmother. If she indeed wants to take action, 1 hope she will choose to do it during the banquet itself. If we wait until after the banquet, it may be too late for many things.”
“This… it won’t be so easy to get into the Lucas family’s banquet.” Moreover, arranging it this way, the old lady could minimize suspicion from others towards the Scott and Ford families.
“I know, but Uncle Mark doesn’t need to worry about this. 1 will try to find a way in advance to create opportunities for you. If Uncle Mark feels this method is feasible, once I have arranged it, I will naturally notify you.”
Uncle Mark looked closely at the young lady in front of him, who appeared calm and composed, not joking at all.
Thinking of the old lady fighting alone in the Scott family, he hesitated for a moment.
Perhaps this unassuming Miss Bright could really become the old lady’s help in the future.
If that’s the case, why not agree to her request just this once?
“Alright, this is my business card. Take it.”
Uncle Mark handed Hannah Ford the business card with his phone number, “Once you’re sure that we can get our people into the banquet, give me a call.”
