Chapter 26 Unexpected Humiliation

Chapter 26 Unexpected Humiliation

Stepdaughter?

Those three words were like thunder that shocked people at present.

Lincoln and Allison were stunned.

Colleen was also jealous.

Even the Hudson family couldn't compare with the Cooper family, let alone the Scott family

If Florence really became the stepdaughter of Andrew, then the her status would be higher than Colleen and she would be able to look down upon her.

Colleen was so jealous that she was about to go crazy. How could she bear that Florence might stay in a higher status than her?

And Florence was also surprised by Andrew's proposal.

Her biological father abandoned her, but a more powerful man wanted to accept her as a stepdaughter. Andrew's proposal was undoubtedly a surprise for her.

Andrew was very serious about it. He didn't look like he was joking, But Florence still felt it unreal.

"Mr. Cooper, are you serious?" Florence swallowed her saliva and calmed down, "Why do you want to recognize me as your stepdaughter?"

Andrew said with a loving smile on his face, "I will never go back on my word. Now that I hit it off with you, Ms. Scott, maybe this is the fate, as long as you are willing to take my proposal, then you will be my only daughter, and I will treat you as my biological daughter."

Biological daughter?

That was, even if Florence had no rights to inherit the Cooper family's property, the family would absolutely treat her well.

The offer was tempting.

Colleen longed for being the stepdaughter of the Cooper family. Why didn’t such a good thing come to her?

As a businessman, Andrew wouldn't do business at a loss. Now he recognized Florence as his stepdaughter all because he was gambling that Florence would become the hostess of the Logan family.

If he won, it would be good for the Cooper family.

"Sis," Zachary also felt excited and said, "What do you hesitate for? Just say yes. It's the best thing in the world now. If we have the Cooper family backing up for us, nobody can bully us anymore.

Zachary was telling the truth.

Lincoln's face turned red and he was ashamed.

Allison avoided looking into Florence's eyes.

Florence was not a fool. There would be only traps rather than pies to fall from the sky in the world.

However, the identity of the Cooper family's stepdaughter could really help her to humiliate these people.

Didn't Lincoln want to cut off relationship with her?

Wasn’t he afraid that she would get the Scott family in trouble?

Didn't Colleen want to bully her at any time?

Then she must take Andrew's proposal to be the stepdaughter of the Cooper family.

She wanted nothing more than the title of the Cooper family's stepdaughter.

"Good." Florence agreed. She looked at Lincoln and others and responded to Andrew with a smile, "I also feel very congenial with you, Mr. Cooper. And I just have a sense of inexplicable affinity."

Everyone knew how to talk nonsense. So did Florence. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"Well, I will prepare the ceremony of identifying you as my stepdaughter and let everyone know that you are my stepdaughter. I have a daughter now."

Florence had not expected there would be a ceremony.

So grand?

It seemed to be very important to Andrew.

Colleen's eyes were red with jealousy.

Allison was also jealous and angry, and she hit Lincoln hard.

Lincoln came to the front with a big smile on his face and totally changed his attitude, "Mr. Cooper, my daughter can hit it off with you. What a blessing for her..."

"Mr. Scott, didn't you just say that Florence was no longer your daughter?"Andrew interrupted Lincoln and pretended to be surprised, "Did you have such a poor memory and forget what you just said?"

That embarrassed Lincoln, and the smile on Florence's face deepened, but there was no warmth in it.

Zachary sarcastically said, "Now my sister is going to be the stepdaughter of the Cooper family. You change your attitude and come to suck up to her. Aren't you making a fool of yourself? Aren't you ashamed"

What he said was very soothing.

Lincoln had a complicated look on his face

Florence smiled indifferently and said, "Mr. Scott, this is the last time for me to step into the Scott family. When I step out of this door, I will have nothing to do with the Scott family. Please remember what you said just now."

Zachary sneered, "Don't be too realistic when it comes to being a human being. After all, sometimes people just slap their face too quickly. I tell you, it's too late to suck up to my sister now. You didn't hesitate when cutting off relationship with her just now. So please don't bother her any more."

With a glance at Lincoln, Andrew said to Florence, "The car just stops at the gate, let's go and discuss the ceremony. If you have any requirements, just tell me."

This place, Florence did not want to stay anymore.

Holding the mahogany box in her arms, Florence endured the pain in her waist and walked out from the Scott family.

Lincoln was about to say something but he stopped. He was too ashamed to talk to Florence.

As soon as Andrew and Florence left, Colleen couldn't bear the jealousy in her heart anymore. Deep envy came across her eyes, "Why is Florence so lucky that Andrew is willing to take her as

his stepdaughter? If she becomes the stepdaughter of the Cooper family, she will bully me."

"Does Andrew have a problem with his brain, Why is Florence, the mean girl?" Allison also couldn't figure it out, "Coley is one hundred times better than Florence. Even if he wants to recognize a stepdaughter, it should be Coley."

"It's you two who are out of your mind." Lincoln's inner rage came out with remorse. "How could I have listened to you two and cut off my relationship with Florence? That's the Cooper family. If we can get along well with the Cooper family, the Scott family will be able to get into the upper class in the city. Our social status will be different."

Lincoln deeply regretted his decision.

With the help of the Cooper family, what problem couldn't be solved?

Now he has missed the opportunity to go into a higher social status. Moreover, he probably had offended the Cooper family. That was why Lincoln regretted.

Seeing that Lincoln was furious, Colleen also knew how regretful and angry Lincoln was now. She hurriedly pacified him, "Dad, it's nothing to miss the opportunity and we can still build a good relationship with the Cooper family. I'm now the daughter-in-law of the Hudson family now. Moreover, Mr. Tucker will help us."

Colleen almost said that out, but she reacted quickly.

Allison clenched her teeth and said with hatred, "Now we have offended Florence, that means we have offended the Cooper family. We can't get along well with the Cooper family but we have the Cooper family backing up for us. Besides, I don't believe Andrew will recognize Florence as his stepdaughter. He just talked about it."

What was done was done. Lincoln could only rely on the Cooper family.

How could he be betrayed for nothing?

...

After Florence left the Scott family, she gave the mahogany box to Zachary and asked him t go back to the hospital.

She had something to talk with Andrew.

They found a quiet place and the stopped the car.

Florence was puzzled and asked, "Mr. Cooper, are you sure you will let go of what happened last night and take me as your stepdaughter?"

"Yes, what happened last night is not entirely your responsibility, my son, I know him well, I I warned him last time but he didn't take the lesson. This time I came to apologize to you in person, and I hope you can forgive his rudeness."

Florence didn't see insincerity in Andrew's eyes.

She knew there was more than what he said, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Was it true as Alexander said that the Cooper family would not seek revenge on her for no reason?

It was Nicholas that started the fight last night.

Anyway, as long as the Cooper family didn't seek revenge on her, she and Alexander would be fine.

Florence felt relieved, "Mr. Cooper, can you tell me the truth? Why do you want to recognize me as your stepdaughter? You have seen that I have no relation with the Scott family any more. A person with no family background like me cannot help the Cooper family. But as a businessman, you won't do business at loss."

When Florence finished, Andrew smiled and looked at Florence with some appreciation.

"Ms. Scott, you’re clever. It is a pity that you are not my daughter. If I really have a clever and beautiful daughter like you, it will be perfect."

"Mr. Cooper. Thank you for your appreciation." Florence smiled and said, "I prefer the truth to official pleasantries."

Andrew laughed, "Ms. Scott, I like your frank personality, then we will go to the point directly. My son have a crush on you, but you don't want to marry him, then I can only let you be a stepdaughter of the Cooper family so that my son can give up. And the second reason is I that also really think I hit it off with you, Ms. Scott."

These two points were true.

Florence frowned, "And the third reason?"

"Nothing can hide from you, Ms. Scott. There is a third reason, but it is not the time to tell you now. When the time comes, you will understand it. But you can rest assured that I do not mean to hurt you, I sincerely want to recognize you as my stepdaughter."

Andrew was honest and put everything on the table. Florence really couldn't pick out any false.

"Actually, Ms. Scott, the title of the Cooper family's stepdaughter also benefits you. We are just taking what we want. I will never treat you badly if you become my stepdaughter. Just now I saw your younger brother's poor health. I can invite the best doctor to help him."

Florence was thinking about something and then smiled, "It's really a good deal. I can do it."

Among other things, at the thought of the jealous faces of Allison and Colleen, she was happy.

"Ms. Scott, you’re really frank. Then I will call you Florrie from now and I will ask people to prepare for the ceremony and select an auspicious day."

"Ok."

Florence was cheerful. She had nothing to lose anyway.

After the talk, Florence got off at the gate of the company. She only asked for half a day's leave, so she had to endure the pain in her waist and came to work.

What just happened was like a dream for her.

Whether it was true or not, the issue was settled and Florence felt at ease.

Florence walked toward the gate of the company. She took out her mobile phone, wanting to call Alexander. But before she dialed out, suddenly a noble woman came toward her with great enthusiasm.

"You must be Florence Scott. You are beautiful. You have a beautiful face. My son really has a good taste." Courtney looked at Florence with satisfaction.

Florence was confused, "Excuse me, who are you?"

Courtney blurted out, "I am your future mother-in-law."

As soon as she finished, Courtney hurriedly covered her mouth. "Oh, my god. I blurted it out. Would I ruin my son's plan?" Courtney thought.

Florence was even more puzzled.

"Madame, I think you have the wrong person."

"No. It's you." Courtney waved her hand. Anyway, she said, "Are you and my son in a relationship?"

Florence opened her eyes wide and asked, "Are you Alexander's mother?"

"Yeah, yeah." Courtney nodded and smiled, "Florrie, this is a gift from me. Take it. If my son bullies you in the future, you can bully him back. Don't be afraid. I will always stand by your side."

As soon as Courtney finished the words, she took out a jewelry box. There was a imperial green jade bracelets worth tens of millions inside.
