A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 88

Caitlin had never been acknowledged by the Brooks family because of her identity. She was the daughter of a mistress. Furthermore, her father was only an adopted son of the Brooks family. 

Therefore, her position in the Brooks family had never been acknowledged by Louis. She never had the chance to step into the Brooks Mansion. After that incident, Louis had driven Caitlin's father out of the Brooks family as well.

For the past few years, she had been thinking of ways to prove herself, hoping to get her grandfather's approval.

Now, she was Lucas's official girlfriend. As the young master of the Scott Family, they would make a fitting couple if Caitlin could be recognised as a daughter of the Brooks. 

In addition, Lucas's influence was likely to rise in the Scott Family. Logically thinking, as the oldest grandson of the Scott Family, he should be in charge of the family's decisions in the future. Lucas would have higher odds of becoming the president and taking over Scott Group.

Therefore, after hesitating for a while, they finally walked into the garden. 

When Wilson saw Lucas and Caitlin in the garden, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his lips. It was not that he didn't care about their brotherhood, but any familial affection had long since been cut off due to the awful things that they had done to him. A broken mirror could never be pieced together as before. 

Just maintaining a cordial demeanour on the surface was stretching Wilson's limits.

He wiped away the smile on his lips and initiated a greeting. "Lucas!"

"Wilson! Oh, Miss Alina is here too?" Lucas plastered on a fake smile. 

Alina nodded and greeted Lucas with a smile. "Hi, Lucas!"

Lucas laughed and said in a sarcastic tone, "Alina, you seem to be getting ahead of yourself. Do you think that just anyone could be a member of the Scott Family?" 

When Wilson heard this, his eyes turned cold as he warned, "Lucas, mind your language!" 

When Lucas saw that Wilson was angered, he pretended to smooth things over with a smile. "I'm sorry, Wilson. It was just a slip of the tongue. As long as you like her, it doesn't matter al all what kind of family she's from!"  

Lucas was deliberately making things difficult for Wilson. How was it possible for Grandfather to accept a plain, ordinary girl like Alina into the family? Furthermore, Wilson was only the second eldest grandson. How could Wilson usurp the position as president, which rightly belongs to him?

Lucas knew that he couldn't cause Wilson any harm with his current abilities, but it was always possible to create havoc. He was pleased whenever he managed to stir up trouble for Wilson. 

"Grandfather, I'll show Alina elsewhere!" Wilson ignored Lucas's words and turned to Lincoln.

Originally, he brought Alina here to introduce her to Louis and Davian. Now that he had introduced her, it was time to go.

"Okay, go ahead!" Lincoln nodded.

Wilson grabbed Alina's hand and left.

When they walked by Lucas, Wilson stopped in his tracks. With a smirk, he lowered his voice and whispered in Lucas's ear, "Lucas, Uncle Louis mentioned just now that he would never acknowledge Caitlin as a member of the Brooks Family! It is news to me that Caitlin is a daughter of a mistress, furthermore, her father is only an adopted child! No one could have known that her identity was so complicated. You should know more about this than me, right? You have to be careful so that you won't be played as a fool!"

After that, he sneered and left with Alina.

Lucas was shocked that Wilson knew about Caitlin's background. Hearing this, he became extremely anxious. As Wilson and Alina walked away, Lucas couldn't help but gnash his teeth with anger. 

Initially, he planned to make trouble for Wilson, but now he just shot himself in the foot.  

What made him even more embarrassed was that they were here to fight for Caitlin's position in the Brooks Family. After hearing Wilson's words, Lucas was not sure if he should continue to press on. 

If what Wilson said was true, they would definitely humiliate themselves if they insisted on getting an answer from Louis. Caitlin might never get the chance to prove herself to be worthy of the Brooks family name. In addition, they might even provoke her grandfather's anger. Wouldn't the situation be worse?

If Wilson lied to them, they should proceed with their original plan to appeal regarding Caitlin's status. 

Lucas didn't dare to leave it up to chance since Wilson had left. Wilson had always been cold-hearted and ruthless. Who knew if Wilson's words were true or not? 

Seeing that Caitlin was about to call out to Louis, Lucas immediately pulled her aside. He greeted Louis with a smile. "Uncle Louis, I'm here with Caitlin to present our gift." After that, he turned to Lincoln and continued, "Grandfather, this is our gift for you. We wish for you to have a long life on this auspicious day." 

In the end, Lucas decided not to gamble. What if Wilson was speaking the truth?

Over the years, Lucas had fallen for his tricks numerous times. Once, his company was almost closed down because of Wilson. 

"Thank you. You can hand over the gift to the housekeeper," Lincoln said with a smile.

How could Lincoln not know what his grandson was thinking? He knew that Lucas and Caitlin came to curry favour with him, hoping that he would put in a good word in front of Louis so that Caitlin may be accepted as a legitimate granddaughter.  

To be honest, Lincoln did not object to Caitlin trying to gain a position within the Brooks family. After all, it wasn't her fault that she was born out of wedlock. However, how could he get involved in the Brooks family's private matter?
