Chapter 27: Chapter 30: Letting Her Taste Hardship

Translator: 549690339

She finally realized that the “Mr. Chen” she thought she knew was all a big misunderstanding. He was the “Mr. Cooper” that people spoke of, the “Mr. Lucas” that the Lucas family referred to.

He was the absolute ruler of the Lucas family, and a man controlling billions of wealth and power.

Yet, in the end, she turned down his proposal once again.

She wanted a divorce, but not for him.

There was no reason to jump out of the frying pan and into the fire. Besides, compared to Austin Lucas and his family, Ethan Wilson was a tyrant who would ruthallessly exploit others without a second thought.

Outside the Gray family mansion, Lily Gray stood in front of the villa and rang the doorbell. Not far away, a black luxury car was parked.

In the car, Samuel Mckinley was making a call.

“Mr. Lucas, I have brought the person here… and those people are in the Gray mansion too.”

Reports arrived early this morning that Mrs. Gray and her daughter had returned to A city. By now, they were probably waiting at the Gray mansion for Lily Gray to come home.

All the relatives of the Gray family were carefully selected assets by Austin Lucas. Confrontation first, causing trouble later, his strategies to deal with Lily Gray were continually changing. freewebn(o)vel.com

From the other side of the call, Ethan Wilson’s cold voice came through, “Let them make a fuss. 1’11 intervene when it’s necessary.”

The woman had never seen how cruel the world could be; she rejected the safe haven he offered her. In that case, he wouldn’t shield her from the beastly horde anymore. He wanted her to witness the harsh reality, to show her how difficult life would be without him.

“Yes, Mr. Lucas.” Samuel Mckinley hung up the call, and looked at Lily Gray standing outside the villa through the car window.

The villa’s gate opened.

“Miss, you’re back? Weren’t you with…” A servant from the Gray family opened the door and seemed surprised to see Lily.

“Wasn’t I what?” Lily Gray raised an eyebrow and asked.

Panic flashed on the servant’s face: “No, nothing… as long as you’re back, Miss, that’s all that matters. Madam Gray and madam aunt have just arrived.”

Lily’s brows furrowed involuntarily, “Granny and Aunt returned?”

“Yes, and Miss Gray came back too. And there’s also…” The servant realized he had said too much and quickly shut his mouth. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝓌𝑒𝒷𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝑜𝓂

Lily Gray’s attention was on the first half of what the servant said, and she didn’t notice anything unusual.

“I understand. Go upstairs and get my glasses.” Lily felt insecure without her glasses. As she stepped into the foyer to change her shoes, the glasses were quickly brought down by the servant.

Wearing the black-framed glasses not only sharpened Lily’s vision but also covered her gorgeous face. She sat on the bench changing her shoes, took several deep breaths, and only after calming herself did she go inside the villa.

The hall was vacant, and she couldn’t hear Mrs. Gray’s characteristic loud voice. Lily found this quite odd.

She called over the servant who had opened the door and asked, “Where are Granny and Aunt?”

The servant looked at Lily, stammered for a long time before finally saying, “Study…study room…”

Lily’s expression shifted, and she immediately strode forward to the second-floor study. It was unusual for the two women to retreat to the study immediately after they arrived. There definitely had to be some kind of scheme happening.

Just as she approached the study, she could hear Mrs. Gray’s distinctive loud voice from inside.

“When is that loser coming back! Is everything ready? Is it all here?”

After a while, the butler’s trembling voice was heard, “Mrs. Gray, all documents are here. Madam instructed Miss Gray to keep them safe before her hospitalization. 1 secretly noted all that down according to your instructions. As for Miss, she would probably return later..”
