Chapter 1329: Chapter 1326: He’s Worse Than a Beast

“But once he thought about it, the child in Lily’s womb was, after all, his own.

Even if his second personality had a terrible temper, he probably wouldn’t lay a hand on Lily.

Emily nodded and said, “If that’s the case, it’s better to be safe. But is there anywhere safer than the Lucas family? Ethan, are you confident?”

“I naturally have my connections and methods,” Aidan Lucas responded coldly.

He did not trust Emily with all the facts.

Emily could understand Aidan’s approach, but the three little ones expressed their disagreement.

Ben was the first to object, “I promise I won’t cause trouble, but I can’t not see Mommy for three months. I will behave, Dad, you must take me to see Mommy.”

“Yes, me too, and Abbie won’t cause any trouble either.”

“And Lulu! Daddy, Lulu wants to see Mommy too!”

The three children were vehement in their stance, but Aidan Lucas resolutely opposed it.

“No, your Mommy needs rest now, and taking you there would attract attention.”

In fact, Aidan intended to do more than simply confine Lily for three months.

He would keep her locked away until she gave birth to the child.

“But Daddy, Lulu will miss…”

“Lulu must behave,” Aidan Lucas taught her with a frown. “Dad is doing this for Mom’s safety. Lulu wouldn’t want Mommy to get hurt, right?”

“Um…uh…” Lulu twisted her fingers, eventually bowing her head.

Lulu was easy to fool, but Ben and Abbie were not.

They continued to express their opposition.

Aidan glanced at Lulu and, knowing the following matters were not suitable for her ears, had Benjamin Lucas IX come over and take Lulu and Charles Taylor downstairs.

After the two most naive children were out of the room, Aidan disclosed Mason Scott’s situation to Emily and his two sons.

“What, Mason Scott… how could you be so cruel? That, that was a living person!”

Emily clutched her forehead, nearly fainting.

She knew it, she always knew… No matter how long it had been, the second personality was still the second personality.

He was inhumane, uncompassionate, and failed to judge the situation appropriately.

To target Mason Scott in such a cruel way at this time, had he considered the consequences of his actions?

Aidan Lucas seemed to have expected such a reaction from Emily.

That look given to a monster, that look of disgust and fear, he was all too familiar with.

The man spoke in a chilling, detached tone, “He’s not dead. He was found by a ‘Good Samaritan’ early this morning and taken to the hospital. The rescue was timely, saving his miserable life.”

“But even though he’s not dead, you shouldn’t… shouldn’t… that’s beastly, utterly beastly!”

To think that several horny dogs…

Just the thought of such a scene made Emily feel nauseous, sick, and incessantly trembling.

She fearfully hugged her arms, holding back the urge to vomit, and looked at Aidan Lucas with caution and disgust.

Aidan was too ruthless; she wondered whom he had learned such a hard-heartedness from.

Perhaps, he was the son who truly resembled Theodore Lucas.

Just like Theodore, equally heartless, equally unfeeling.

“What of it being beastly?” Aidan Lucas raised an eyebrow, his disdain clear in his icy gaze, “Mason Scott as a person, is even less than a beast.”

“A beast at least cares for its young, yet he heartlessly pushed Lily down the stairs. Lily is his own flesh and blood, his granddaughter.”

“Not to mention, he did this knowing that Lily was pregnant. He intended to kill both Lily and the child in her womb. What he suffered was merely the result of his own actions.”
