“Rowena, I didn’t mishear, did I… Lily has really won over Mr. Lucas!?”
Even though Madam Gray rarely attends banquets and gatherings, she’s aware of the reputation of Aidan Lucas.
Upon hearing this news, Madam Gray’s face turned alternately pale and green.
Rowena’s face was no better than hers at this moment.
“No, it’s impossible!” Just then, Milly, who had been silent all this while, suddenly shrieked.
“That shameless woman, Lily Gray, must have thrown herself at Mr. Lucas to get into his bed. Otherwise, why would a man like Mr. Lucas be interested in a worn-out shoe like her!”
Thinking of Aidan Lucas’s tall and upright figure, his handsome and sharp facial features, Milly couldn’t help but blush.
Outside the courthouse earlier, when his deeply profound eyes filled with reservation and strictness unintentionally swept over her face, her heart nearly leapt out of her chest.
Such a perfect man, seemingly untouchable like a deity, wasn’t meant to be possessed by a cheap woman like Lily Gray.
“Yes, Milly’s right.” Rowena nodded in agreement.
“Mr. Holbrook, Milly makes a valid point. My niece is a divorcee. On what grounds could she attract Mr. Lucas? As you said, Mr. Lucas holds a lot of sway on A City, would you choose a worn-out shoe worn by others if you were in his shoes?!”
Upon hearing Rowena’s words, Mr. Holbrook couldn’t help but frown.
Her words, seemed to make sense…
Even though Mr. Lucas had issued a stern warning to the Gray family at the courthouse entrance, it didn’t necessarily mean that he was protecting Lily Gray.
After all, it was Madam Gray who had offended him first; if Madam Gray hadn’t pointed at Mr. Lucas and cursed him, he probably wouldn’t have had any issues with the Gray family.
Seeing the uncertainty on Mr. Holbrook’s face, Rowena took the opportunity to add more fuel to the fire.
“Mr. Holbrook, I’ll tell you the truth. My niece isn’t as innocent as she seems. The man she first married was a young master from a branch family of the Lucas clan, but she fooled around and was caught by her ex-husband. She had to compensate half of her assets before the Lucas family let her off. Don’t let her association with Mr. Lucas fool you into thinking she has influence. Any day now, if someone gets tired of playing with her, she’ll be discarded. What kind of man would be brave enough to actually marry a woman like her!”
The more Mr. Holbrook heard, the more hesitant he became.
Rowena seized the opportunity to add more money as incentive. Mr. Holbrook was initially apprehensive about Aidan Lucas’s status, but as he was no longer cautious and had the opportunity to make more money, he agreed to continue representing the Gray family in court.
Just before the trial was about to start, Milly whispered a complaint to Rowena and Madam Gray.
“Mummy, grandmother, who do you think is prettier, Lily Gray or me?” Milly puffed up her proud 36E chest, a look of undeniable pride in her eyes.
“Of course our Milly is. That wretched girl can’t compare with you.”
Madam Gray chimed in: “Our beautiful Milly can’t be compared with that money-losing good-for-nothing.”
Milly pouted slightly upon hearing their words, “I thought so too… Mummy, grandmother… 1 have something to tell you.”
The two leaned closer to her, and after hearing Milly’s words, they jumped in surprise.
“What, you… you want to marry Mr. Lucas?!” Rowena, ambitious as she was, was left dumbfounded by her daughter’s words.
Madam Gray also chimed in, “Silly kid, that man even hits women under his command, you can’t marry someone like him.”
“Why not? If Mr. Lucas falls for me, his subordinates would naturally not dare to be rude to us. Mummy, grandmother, please support me…. don’t you want a respectable son-in-law and grandson-in-law?”
