Chapter 71: Lucas family didn’t approve their relationship
Lucas’s fingers gently rubbed in her palm, as if he wanted her to calm down, causing a ticklish and tingly sensation in the center of her hand, stifling the words she wanted to blurt out back into her stomach.
After all, the Marson family had been kind to her.
Whether it was Lucas or grandfather, they were all benefactors to her.
Even if she was humiliated, she could not show it too obviously.
"Whether she is worthy of being my woman is for me to decide.
No other person has any right to interfere in this matter."
Lucas’s thin lips slightly parted and he responded coldly, his eyes were a deep pool of chilliness, save for his fingertips that exuded a shred of warmth.
Beauty blinked absentmindedly, her lips tightly drawn, her eyes involuntarily looking at Lucas, staying silent.
"As your father, don’t I have the right to interfere in your marital affairs?
Do you want to make me the laughingstock of the entire circle because of a girl like her with unknown origins?"
Williams voice was sharp as a knife, plunging straight into Beauty’s chest, without giving her a chance to breathe.
"You simply just gave birth to me, you weren’t even willing to take care of my mother, what right have you to control me!"
Lucas let out a cold snort from his nose, nearly all the muscles in his body shaking.
These words caused the expressions of the crowd to immediately chill, in particular His father, Mr. Williams Marson, whose burning cheeks felt like they had taken several consecutive slaps.
Grandpa sat silently on the side, his face still displaying the same indifferent expression, with no traces of change whatsoever.
Single-handedly leaning on his dragon head cane, a pair of eagle-like eyes intensely glaring ahead, the gloomy aura circulating around him made it difficult for anyone to breathe.
The grandmother stood up and held Beauty’s other arm, which was trembling slightly due to nervousness and excitement.
With a gentle and kind facial expression, she said, "I, a grandma, really like you, Beauty.
She’s beautiful, has a sweet mouth, and clearly an innocent child, suitable to be our Marson family’s grand-daughter-in-law."
Praised by grandma Marson like this, Beauty’s cheek turned even redder, exposing a slight, obedient smile.
Her eyes curved slightly, revealing a crescent shape.
A tear mole under her eye was faintly discernible.
"Dad, do you think this girl’s background is worthy of our Marson family?
A single man as excellent as Lucas could easily find a woman with a background better than that of Beauty.
What do you think?" Williams said, her words harsh but Beauty had to admit, with Lucas’s status and the influence he holds in the City, all the socialite ladies would want to be with him, and where would that leave her?
Williams knew about Lucas’s stubbornness, just like him, whatever he prevented him from doing, he was more determined to do it.
After all these years, nothing has changed.
Immediately, he turned this hot conversation over to grandpa Marson.
"We are here for You Beauty’s twentieth birthday party, let’s not spoil the mood.
I believe the guests have already arrived in the hall.
It wouldn’t be good to keep a long face.
Let’s put this matter aside, and discuss it after today’s celebration."
Grandpa Marson said, and shot a glance at Lucas as he stood up from the sofa.
An assistant on standby lent a hand to assist.
Grandma Marson, seeing her husband had voiced his thoughts, she also got up to leave with a jubilant expression on her face.
Lucas’s lips curled into a slight smile, barely perceptible.
Turning his face, he looked at Beauty, "Since grandfather has spoken, let’s go together!
Today’s protagonist is You Beauty, she’s bound to be the most dazzling woman today."
A large group of people followed them.
Grandpa Marson and his wife, arm in arm, displayed a loving gesture.
Emily and Williams walked side by side, forcing smiles onto their faces as they confronted the media and flashing cameras.
Finally, under everyone’s expectant gaze, Beauty, arm-in-arm with Lucas, stepped into the spotlight.
The radiant light shining down on her white chiffon dress, sprinkled with rhinestone flowers, dazzling and twinkling, casting a cluster of light spots on the floor.
"Wow!
Mr. Mason is extraordinarily handsome, how can there be such a dashing man?"
"Is that beautiful fair-skinned girl beside him the main character of today’s event?
My goodness!
She’s too lucky!
I heard she was adopted by Marson!"
A cluster of chattering voices carried over, discussing the center of attention, Beauty.
Her skin was as fair and smooth as mutton fat jade, looking impossibly beautiful under the spotlight.
"Beauty looks too gorgeous today!"
Hannah, standing beside Samuel in her pink knee-length skirt, stared dreamily at Beauty and the gloomy man standing next to her.
She was so excited that she nearly had a nosebleed.
Samuel stood elegantly not far from Beauty, with one hand in his pocket and a slight smile on his face.
He held a glass of red wine in his hand, standing quietly like a boy from a manga.
"Hello everyone! I’m Lucas.
I’m delighted that you’ve come to join Ms. Beauty’s twentieth birthday party.
I hope everyone enjoys themselves."
Lucas finished with a slight smile that caused an uproar among the women below.
So much so that they almost blew the roof off this clubhouse.
All she had to do was stand by his side and nod agreeably, maintaining her aura of mystery.
This left ers and media personnel unable to figure out her true identity.
This was her mission for the day, as instructed by Lucas.
To put it bluntly, this grand birthday party was nothing more than a moving billboard for his company, attracting more young consumers.
She was no more than a product of his cultivation.
The clubhouse was bustling with people, filled with laughter and merry conversation.
Everyone was showering Beauty with heartwarming wishes, and there were more than ten staff members responsible for the collection of birthday presents alone.
The array of gifts was a dazzling sight.
Simply looking at the packaging of the presents, she could tell they were items of high value.
However, she has never been interested in these ostentatious tokens of false affection.
"You Beauty, this is the Cassiterite necklace that I carefully picked out for you on my last trip to T-Country.
I believe you’ll like it," Sarah presented a pink gift box, the packaging alone demonstrating the consideration that went into it.
Beauty’s eyes crinkled in delight, her dimples growing deeper with each smile; an image of tender warmth.
She handed the pink box over to the domestic help to store it away.
After all, this was the birthday present meant for her, as opposed to the flashy yet insubstantial items in the warehouse, which seemed to be given more out of a desire to impress Lucas.
With that, she had no interest at all.
After a warm and comforting hug with her dear friend, she slowly let go.
At this moment, Lucas’s figure was lost in the crowd.
Not that she cared to find him.
Standing by his side often attracted too much attention for her liking, something she was not accustomed to.
