“Alright…”

At this moment, Mr. Scott, who had not engaged in the dispute between the two, finally spoke up.

“I’ve called all of you here today to announce something important. Since Miss Lily has started, then I’ll continue where she left off,”
Mr. Scott lifted his eyelids and looked at Hannah Ford.

“Hannah, you’re no longer a Ford, and since you’re now part of the Coldwell’s family, I can’t do anything about you. Take off the jade token I gave you and step outside.”

If Hannah had not already changed her last name to Coldwell, he would have let her stay until all was explained and then have her apologize to Miss Lily alongside Bella Scott.

But now…

Considering that Charles Coldwell and Richard Coldwell were not ones he could afford to provoke, the old man decided to compromise the promise he had made to Lily earlier and let Hannah leave first.

However, Hannah was not appreciative.

She was originally very wary of Lily, especially after being taken away and taught a lesson by the mercenaries, she wanted to stay as far away from Lily as possible.

But after learning of Lily’s identity last night and returning to the Presidential Palace, Frank Chamberlain made a special trip to find her and instructed her to return to the Scott family and find a way to ruin the relationship between Lily Redington and Aidan Lucas.

Hannah found it strange, but Frank did not tell her the reason, only stating that he had a backup plan and ordered her to just follow his instructions.

Hannah had no choice but to go back to Bella Scott and, in a pitiful tone, explained her situation, swiftly gaining Bella’s sympathy.

Although facing Lily Redington still made Hannah tremble with fear, she told herself there was no need to be afraid.

Behind her now stood not just the Presidential Palace but also Charles Coldwell.

Even if Lily Redington was indeed the young miss of the Reddington family, they couldn’t lay a finger on her!

Remembering Frank Chamberlain’s instructions, Hannah softly said, “There’s no need for that, great-grandfather. Although I’ve found my biological father, my mother raised me since I was a child, and I cannot disregard her kindness.”

“And you… I still regard you as my great-grandfather. As for the jade token, I don’t have it with me; I’ll bring it to you another time.”

For her to have to hand over the jade token that had been with her as she grew up, especially to give it to Lily Redington, was something she was utterly unwilling to do.

Moreover, Hannah had already detected something.

Lily Redington was very likely not lying; she was most likely Lily Gray.

Lily Gray was actually alive!

This was certainly the worst, yet the most important news she had heard.

“Since that’s the case, then I’ll continue,”
The old man took a slightly deeper breath and his gaze towards Bella Scott suddenly sharpened into a penetrating light.

“Unfilial child, kneel down!”

“Grandpa…” Bella hesitated, not understanding why Grandpa had suddenly turned so hostile.

“I said kneel!!!” Mr. Scott’s powerful voice thundered, frightening Bella Scott into kneeling in front of him on the spot.

Christopher Scott had long established his authority within the Scott family, and when he was truly enraged, no one dared to confront him.

At this time, Lily stood beside the old man.

Bella’s kneeling was, in effect, also kneeling in front of Lily.

However, the old man gave her no quarter, nor did he allow Lily to step aside.

“Bella Scott, Miss Lily is right. If you truly cared for her, how could you not recognize her as your own daughter? Two children who share the same name and look identical appear before you, why haven’t you ever doubted that your daughter might still be alive?”

The old man believed he had seen through Bella Scott.

The reason Bella Scott was indifferent to Lily was that she had personally swapped the children all those years ago. Therefore, she had known early on that Lily was not her daughter.

And that was why she could be so cruel to Lily.

Unfortunately, Mr. Scott was mistaken and had overestimated Bella Scott.

Bella did not know about the child swap.

Her cruelty towards Lily was simply because she was a mother who was both biased and selfish.

“My daughter… is still alive?”

Bella was stunned and turned to look up at Lily, who towered above her, “Are you… my Lilith?”

“No, I am not,” Lily replied coldly with a smirk, “Your Lilith died over twenty years ago.”
