YM778.TV Chapter 461 - Final Decision!
They could sense that something bad was supposed to occur and..it will be making them stand in the losses. However, the only people who still held the hope of excitement were Jack, Jennifer, and Hannah.
Clutching their hands, everyone\'s lips went dry, anticipating the next wordings of the grandfather Smith, which will ultimately draw a decision for the mess which is created.
Meanwhile, grandfather Smith, who sat in the middle, stood on his legs. He fiercely stared at the pregnant lady, not even glancing at anyone else\'s gaze. "You are carrying the child of my grandson, Lucas Smith. As the heir, do you know he has responsibilities to hold?"
"I..I..Do.."
"So you must be aware that he can\'t marry any simple local. You don\'t have any background knowledge. A mere actress... I don\'t accept any actress to be the daughter-in-law of my house. Meanwhile, Lucas is already engaged with Jennifer Taylor. It is Miss Taylor, who is known as his fiance and how she had been brought back from Johnson\'s land after much struggle" Grandfather Smith laid down the information in front of everyone with much clarity.
But the same calmness didn\'t crawl under anyone else\'s sin. They were panicking, to the next extent of holding their breath to not let their guards be let down.
In return, Seren didn\'t move from her place even an inch. She appeared strict, with her eyes burning with the undefined mist, "I understand what you are saying to me, Elder master Smith. But..this child is of Lucas. I swear on my life."
"Even if the child in your womb belongs to my grandchild, but that doesn\'t mean that you can obtain any title just in case you have a little life growing inside you who is..attached with Lucas." Grandfather Smith didn\'t budge from what he earlier meant.
His words were given the same meaning and expressions to the ones who were present at this time. In their eyes, grandfather Smith\'s decision was supposed to be the last one, which filled them with beads of sweat.
Meanwhile, Jennifer held the same aloof expressions, but at the same time, her brows had already lifted upwards. She was looking forward to what Elder Master Smith can actually do?
Never could she imagine in her wildest dream to bear such circumstances. However, now since they are in front of their eyes, Jennifer had played the trick to let Seren appear in the vicinity.,
Why? Simply because the decision doesn\'t lie in her hand. It was all in the elder\'s wish, either to accept Seren or not. Moreover, knowing the temperament of Grandfather Smith too well, it seemed easier to convince him.
\'For how long will you be able to actually not pay attention to this lady, who is carrying the child..the heir of your family, Elder Master Smith?\' Jennifer\'s smirk only widened.
Especially after knowing his nature from Jack himself, it was very easily guessed by her that no matter what, Seren is at the advantage of no matter what she holds or says.
But at his stage, Jennifer was too keenly looking forward to witnessing what they have to say right away.
Whereas, grandfather Smith\'s eyes didn\'t tear from the lady who stood in front of his eyes. A reluctant gaze had spreaded all over his face already. He was annoyed, frustrated but it was not in his hands. "Seren.... I shall clear this in front of you, Ms. Taylor will remain to be Lucas\'s fiance."
"Lucas made a mistake, and I will not disregard you for this. You have the child of my family, Smiths\' family. Since you are carrying it in your worm, you should be grateful to God. However, when it comes to the title of the Smith\'s daughter-in-law, this title is of high prestige and..I will never let you have this!"
He was direct in his words, which in turn made Seren\'s eyes turn cold. Her hands curled into a fist, but she held her expression too well. "W-what do you want to say, Mr. Smith?"
"No! Father! Don\'t commit a mistake.." It was none other than Amara who let out a soft cry. She faced Elder master Smith, with her pleading face, round eyes soaked in tears."Sh-She....isn\'t worthy of your sympathy..
"But she has a child, Amara. Are you not willing to see your grandchild too?" Grandfather Smith\'s single sentence threw a cold water bucket over her head. She had words to reply but no courage in her heart
There was absolute emptiness in her way where she found it hard to blink her eyes even once. Moving her head down, Amara swallowed her words on her own, but there was a trace of hesitation.
Yet, Veronica\'s eyes were still not able to overcome what she had witnessed till now. "She is an actress, an outsider. Elder master Smith is showing at least a bit of mercy on a lady like her. Seems like you have learned the lesson from the past very well, Am I right Mr. Smith?" She didn\'t leave any stone unturned to pass out the taunt on his way.
But Veronica\'s words were entirely neglected by the elder master Smith for now on. His attention was stagnant at the girl who stood just in front of his eyes before he muttered again in his next stern voice, making everyone filed with mixed emotions.
"You are allowed to live with us, under the Smith mansion\'s roof...."
Hearing this, while Seren\'s lips turned into a bright smile, while Lucas\'s face crumbled badly. But on the next wordings of the Grandfather Smith, everyone\'s breathe halted.
"But with this, I have conditions for you too."
