“You… you unfilial thing, just like your mother who brought bad luck. She killed my poor son, and now you’re here to curse me. You just want me to die, both you and your mother…”
Upon hearing Sonya Hamilton insulting her mother again, Lily Gray’s face turned cold, “Madam, I don’t have time to listen to your drama. If there’s nothing important to discuss, I’m hanging up.”
“You… wait!”
Sonya Hamilton called out to her viciously, “You must drop the lawsuit right now. If you can do it, then I might consider recognizing you as my granddaughter.”
She knew how much Lily Gray craved her approval.
“No way.” Lily Gray said decisively.
“Madam Gray, I’ll be blunt with you because of your age. The lawsuit won’t be dropped, whether it’s about the shares or the Gray family old house, 1 won’t let go of anything that should be mine. Instead of lecturing me here, you should discuss strategies with your beloved daughter and lawyer. See you at the courtroom tomorrow.”
After speaking, Lily Gray hung up the phone directly.
Sonya Hamilton called several more times afterward, but Lily Gray ignored them all.

At the Gray family mansion, Sonya Hamilton sat in the living room, so angry that her hand holding the phone was shaking.
“Mom, that damn girl has gone too far this time. My lawyer just called me and said not only does she want to take back the 20% of the shares but she also wants us to give up this mansion. Mom, you must find a way to deal with her!”
Sonya Hamilton’s daughter, Lily Gray’s aunt Rowena Gray, stormed in from outside.
“I don’t need you to tell me to find a solution.” Madam Gray patted her chest, having been so angered by Lily Gray that she almost couldn’t catch her breath.
“Before, people told me that she was being kept by a rich old man, and 1 didn’t believe it. Now it seems true; otherwise, where would she get the money for the lawsuit?”
“Mom, it’s not the time to investigate where her money comes from. We should think about what to do when we go to court. After all, those shares originally belonged to that damn girl, and we had someone forge her signature and used connections to transfer the shares. If it’s exposed, wee’ll be going to jail!”
Upon hearing the word “jail,” Madam Gray became more panicked.
“No, absolutely not going to jail.” She was already old, and going to jail would ruin her twilight years.
“Rowena, rest assured, I am still her grandmother after all. If she dares to turn against her own family, we will find reporters and expose her unfilial and unrighteous acts, and see who the judge will help then!”
Sonya Hamilton still had the mindset of a rural old lady, thinking that in the courtroom, whoever gains more sympathy will win the judge’s favor.
It wasn’t her fault that she thought this way. The Hamilton’s were originally from the countryside, and it was only because during the war, Lily Gray’s great-grandfather was saved by the Hamiltons. To show gratitude, he arranged a marriage between his son and a woman from the Hamilton family.
Because of this, a wealthy family like the Grays married a rural woman like Sonya Hamilton as their wife and Madam.
“Mom, this time, everything depends on you! As you know, I have no way out now. Rudolf and Milly have changed their surname to Gray and no longer have ties with their father.”
Rowena Gray’s husband died when she was young, leaving her with two children.
Her elder daughter, Milly Gray, and her youngest son, Rudolf Gray.
Originally, both children had the surname Lee, but after the death of Lily Gray’s parents, Rowena Gray changed their surnames to Gray to seize the family property and to please Madam Gray.
Madam Gray nodded, “I know, 1 know, the company will belong to Rudolf and Milly in the future. Don’t worry… I will never let Lily Gray, that losing-money-girl, take away the family property belonging to Rudolf and Milly..”
