Chapter 469: Sowing Discord

Indeed, upon sight of his granddaughter Nikki walking toward him to greet him, he immediately said to her, “Quick, Nikki.

This is Edmund.

Hurry up and greet him.”

“Hello, Mr.

Cole!” Nikki immediately greeted obediently with a sweet smile on her face.

She had always been good at socializing, and she naturally knew that the elderly who belonged to the same generation as her grandfather all liked obedient and sensible juniors.

Thus, she behaved very well.

Unfortunately, Edmund didnt even look at her and simply turned a deaf ear to her greeting as if he didnt see her at all.

Thinking that Edmund merely didnt hear her, Robert introduced again, “Edmund, this is my granddaughter, Nikki.

She…”

“Robert, cut it out!” Sam hurriedly pulled Roberts arm and whispered to him to hint him to stop talking.

At this moment, Robert finally noticed that Edmund seemed extremely displeased.

It wasnt that he hadnt heard Edmund, but rather, he was ignoring him on purpose.

His heart tensed up, and he finally realized that Edmund wasnt an ordinary person but the helmsman of the Cole family, who had a noble and prestigious status and was not someone that ordinary people could get acquainted with.

Yesterday afternoon, Robert had managed to speak to Edmund for quite a bit, thanks to his friendship with Sam.

So he unknowingly thought he was considered close friends with Edmund now and tried to recommend his family members to him.

Seeing that Edmund wasnt buying it at all and that his face was sullen, only then did Robert realize that he had been too presumptuous, so he hurriedly kept quiet.

Nikki suddenly winced in pain and clutched her stomach with a grimace on her face before clenching her jaw and pretending to be alright.

But her cry of pain had already attracted the attention of several people around her.

Only then did Robert notice that there seemed to be something wrong with his granddaughter.

Not only was she clutching her stomach with her hands, but she seemed to be in pain, and even her clothes were stained with filth.

There seemed to be traces of dust and water stains on her clothes, as if she had rolled around on the floor before this.

It was definitely not the appearance that someone should have when meeting guests.

Roberts face immediately darkened, and he frantically asked, “Nikki, whats wrong with you Did someone bully you”

Nikki deliberately pretended to be aggrieved and gritted her teeth while her eyes turned red and watery, as if she was on the verge of tears.

Pointing at Lucas, she said, “Grandpa, it was him.

He just kicked me hard in the gut and caused me to be unable to stand up for a long time.

My stomach really hurts now…”

She was a woman, and she was deliberately making herself look pitiful like she had been bullied.

Those who didnt know would definitely think that she had been bullied.

After all, no matter what happened, hitting a woman and kicking her in the gut was really quite horrid.

Nikki really hated Lucas.

She initially felt extremely dejected when she saw that Edmund knew Lucas and was even standing on his side.

She was full of resentment toward Lucas.

But now, tables had turned, and she was surprised to find that her grandfather turned out to actually know Edmund too and had even come over with him.

She thought that they were obviously close to each other.

She thought that since Robert had already asked her to come over and greet Edmund, they were obviously closer to the Coles than Lucas was.

So she naturally wouldnt let go of this opportunity, and she thought that she had to complain about Lucas to Edmund so that the latter would know who exactly Lucas was and then do her justice!

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a peculiar silence around her.

Robert widened his eyes in disbelief.

“What did you say Did… did Lucas Gray bully you”

An ominous premonition arose in his heart.

After what happened just now, he had already gotten quite a clear idea of the situation, so he didnt have a sense of superiority like Nikki did.

He didnt think that Edmund valued his family much either.

In fact, if not for his friendship with Sam, Edmund wouldnt have known him at all, nor would he have had any dealings with the Herons.

However, Lucas had saved Edmunds life!

Robert could easily figure out who was more important to Edmund.

How could he allow his granddaughter to get into a conflict with the Cole family Robert suddenly felt really troubled.

Justin hurriedly chimed in, “Yes, Dad! Lucas Gray is really vile! You missed what happened earlier.

That punk is so arrogant that he not only beat up Nikki, but he even got someone to kick me.

Dad, look.

His footprints are on my body!”

Then Justin showed the footprints on his body left by Ethans kicks.

“…”

Edmund didnt say a single word nor show any emotion on his face.

Robert felt really embarrassed that his middle-aged son, who was already in his late forties, was still complaining about someone much younger than him.

Besides, he still wasnt entirely certain of what Edmunds attitude toward Lucas was like and thus didnt dare to be too firm about his stand.

He merely glowered at his son and rebuked, “What nonsense are you spouting Lucas is Edmunds life savior.

Hurry up and keep your mouth shut.”

Justin said indignantly, “What life savior That punk is just a penniless live-in son-in-law.

With his abilities, how could he have possibly saved Uncle Edmund I bet hes just a conman who claimed credit for someone elses effort, right”

Nikki also hurriedly said, “Yes, Lucas Gray likes deceiving others.

Thats how he managed to trick my cousin back then.

Yesterday, he even lied to the scions of the Parkers and Bensons that he was the grandson of a prestigious family.

He totally had us fooled.

Thats why Mr.

Parker and Mr.

Benson are here today to confront him!”

She looked at Edmund again and said with a sincere expression, “Mr.

Cole, your status is prestigious.

Lucas Gray must have gotten information from some source and deliberately impersonated the person who saved your life.

Hes trying to lie to you and make you think that hes your savior.

Dont fall for his trick!”

She let her tongue run.

Not only did she allude to the reason for Matthew and Damons arrival here and said that Lucas deserved it for being a liar, but she even tried hard to slander Lucas in front of Edmund, making him out to be an unscrupulous villain who was full of lies.

Lucas sneered and said nothing.

Cheyenne was enraged.

Just as she was about to defend Lucas, someone suddenly rebuked furiously.

“Stop spouting nonsense, you vicious and stupid wench!” The one who rebuked her was none other than Alexis, who looked just as repulsed and furious.
