“Give me the check; you’ve checked it, but I haven’t.” Austin Lucas, enduring the pain, snatched the check directly from Lily Gray’s hand.
Upon opening it, the number representing three million and the three flamboyantly written characters entered his sight.
Austin Lucas couldn’t help but reveal a deep smile. With these three characters of “Aidan Lucas” as a guarantee, there would be absolutely no problem with this check.
“Lily Gray… being a mistress to such a big shot means you’re bound to be kicked out of bed sooner or later. But rest assured, in the name of our previous marriage, 1 might lend you a hand when the time comes.”
Austin Lucas said to her in a tone of charity, filled with superiority in his eyes.
Lily Gray glanced at Austin Lucas before putting the necklace in her bag and leaving.
She was disgusted by Austin Lucas and didn’t want to say a word more than necessary.
Austin Lucas leaned against the corner of the wall, watching Lily Gray’s enchanting figure receding. A cold smile gradually formed on the corner of his mouth.
Hah, Lily Gray… go ahead and be arrogant. It won’t be long before you come crawling back to me!

Lily Gray and four burly men in black cleaned up her belongings. Although Austin Lucas said he hadn’t touched her things, just a glance at the layout of the bedroom told her that her things had been moved.
If it wasn’t Austin Lucas, it was someone else.
The Lucas family had more than one greedy person, whether it was Zara Lucas, Michelle Carter, or even the old lady – none of them were easy to deal with.
Her mother loved her and left her with many pieces of jewelry.
Some of them were kept in the Gray family mansion, while others she brought with her when she married into the Lucas family.
As a result, the jewelry at the Gray family mansion was sold to her grandmother and aunt by the butler.
The jewelry left at the Lucas residence hadn’t been lost entirely, but after Lily counted, she found a very precious glass-type emerald jade token had vanished.
“Young Lady, everything is packed up,” one of the burly men in black came over to report, “please see if anything has been missed. If there is, we’ll help you get it back.”
The man stressed the words “get it back,” and Lily knew that they weren’t just going to ask for it, but snatch it back for her.
“Forget it; I don’t want to stay here any longer. Let’s go.”
Although the glass-type jade token was precious, her main purpose today was to retrieve the citrine necklace.
Now that she had the necklace, she didn’t want to stay here any longer.
The longer she stayed, the more it reminded her of the depressing and humbling times she had here.
“Yes.” Before coming, Mr. Lucas had commanded them to listen to the young lady.
The four men in black didn’t dare delay and immediately led the way.
Austin Lucas disappeared after getting the three million, and no one knew whether he was in a hurry to deposit it in the bank or find someone to reattach his arm.
Neither Austin Lucas nor the butler was present, so Lily was too lazy to deal with the Lucas family and let her subordinates carry the boxes to the car while she stood idly by.
Just as a box had been moved to the trunk, there suddenly came the sound of a car’s brakes screeching behind her.
“Watch out, Young Lady!”
Before Lily could react, one of the burly men in black quickly shielded her.
The other three quickly surrounded them, shielding her behind their towering figures.
Through the human wall, Lily saw a flashy red sports car that barely missed hitting their car’s rear.
It was just inches away from where she had been standing.
If her men hadn’t pulled her away in time, Lily thought, even if she hadn’t been injured, she would have been frightened enough to have complications with her pregnancy.
Thinking of this, her charming eyes narrowed slightly as she coldly eyed the flashy red sports car.
She recognized the car; it belonged to Zara Lucas..
