Chapter 25 Eaten up by Regrets
No one expected the Cooper family to come so early.
Florence was standing in place holding the red wooden box. There were only a few steps left before she went downstairs. Lincoln followed her behind. He got panicked and quickly said nervously, "Just leave through the back door, don't get us involved."
Lincoln pulled Florence fiercely, with great strength, and the attitude of eagerness to throw her away was vividly expressed.
Florence couldn't stand firmly for a while. She almost fell off the steps, she quickly supported herself by holding the railing, but her waist still slammed into the carving next to her. She sucked in pain, and tears were almost coming out of her eyes.
Florence felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar at the time, and her whole heart was cold.
Her father's coldness, she clearly realized it once again.
"Sis." Zachary hurried to support Florence, and shouted at Lincoln, "You dare to hurtl my sister."
When Zachary was talking, he rolled up his sleeves and tried to do something to Lincoln.
"Zachary." Florence endured the pain in her waist, stopped Zachary, and looked at Lincoln's emotionless and frosty eyes, "Mr. Scott, don't worry, I will never get you involved."
She was Lincoln's biological daughter, even though she was angry and disappointed, she couldn't do anything to Lincoln.
When Lincoln saw Florence's cold eyes, he was a little guilty, and a trace of guilt flashed across his face, but when he saw Andrew who walked in, the guilt disappeared, and he had only resentment towards Florence.
It was too late to go now.
"Welcome, Mr. Cooper." Lincoln smiled and greeted him.
Allison and Colleen glanced at each other, their eyes full of pride and excitement.
"Mr. Scott." Andrew cut the crap and got to the point, "I come today for the matter between your eldest daughter Florence and my son last night."
Upon hearing this, Lincoln paled, thinking that Andrew came to make a punitive expedition against him. Before Andrew said anything, he said in a hurry, "Mr. Cooper, you are mistaken. I only have one daughter, Colleen, and I don't have any eldest daughter Florence. I heard a little bit about what happened last night, Mr. Cooper. Whatever you want to do with Florence has nothing to do with the Scott family, and I have no complaints."
Andrew didn't even know about Lincoln breaking off his father-daughter relationship with Florence on the Internet. But he was also a smart man. He knew what Lincoln meant as soon as he heard Lincoln’s words.
Allison echoed from the side, "Yes, Mr. Cooper, it's Florence who beat your son. It has nothing to do with the Scott family. Florence is here. If you want to deal with the matter, you can go to her."
Allison pointed to Florence.
Andrew looked at Florence.and a touch of surprise flashed through his eyes.
Andrew had met a lot of people, and he also heard from his son that Florence was a great beauty, but when he saw her with his own eyes, he was still amazed by her beauty.
What amazed Andrew was not only Florence's appearance, but also her temperament, she was like a deep valley orchid, quietly blooming, elegant and dignified, with the demeanor of the hostess of the house.
Andrew was even more convinced that Alexander, the head of the Logan family, was more than just liking Florence' beauty.
Florence would be the future hostess of Logan family.
Seeing that Andrew was staring at Florence, Colleen thought that Florence would definitely be over this time, and her heart was full of pride.
Florence stepped forward and said in a calm tone, "Mr. Cooper, I am Florence. I feel sorry for what happened last night. I am extremely sorry for your son's injury."
She also knew that she would not be able to escape today. So she was psychologically prepared for whatever happened to her next.
When Florence did this, she just didn't want to get Alexander involved. Because Nicholas would seek revenge for the smallest grievance, if the Cooper family went to Alexander, then Alexander might not be able to stay in the city.
Colleen actually regretted it after she blurted out these words, but she couldn't take it back anymore. She was so frightened when she met Andrew's dangerous eyes. She was scared. Trembling, she couldn't help hiding behind Allison.
Florence was not blamed, but now Colleen was in trouble.
Colleen was too scared to say anything. Lincoln had always loved his little daughter Colleen, but at this moment, he wished to have no relationship with Colleen as if he didn't know her at all.
Lincoln said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Cooper, she is just a little girl knowing nothing, please forgive her and don't take her nonsense to your heart."
Andrew coldly snorted, "Mr. Scott, I heard that your little girl should have been married into the Logan family, but now she has become a daughter-in-law of the Hudson family. She has a pretty face. But she’s too ‘smart’."
Putting the Logan family which was much better aside but choosing the Hudson family, Wasn't that stupid?
"What you said is true." Lincoln was muddleheaded. He agreed with everything Andrew said and didn't try to figure out the real meaning of his words.
Seeing that Lincoln was also a fool, Andrew didn't want to waste time anymore.
Lincoln was stupid to mistake a pearl for fish.
Andrew stared at Lincoln, "I heard your words just now. Florence is not your daughter anymore?"
Lincoln was too late to regret it now. The news about the severance of father-daughter relationship with Florence had been announced.
Lincoln could only bite the bullet and said emotionally, "Maybe we don’t have the fate, and I have severed father-daughter relationship with Florence."
Upon hearing this, Andrew clapped his hands happily and couldn't help saying, "Good."
The sound made everyone stunned.
When everyone was at a loss, Andrew walked to Florence and said sincerely, "Ms. Scott, I have no daughter and I only have one son. I always wanted a daughter. When I saw you, I I felt an inexplicable kindness in my heart. Would you mind being my stepdaughter?"
