Lily Gray and Aidan Lucas’s intimate gestures were all seen by Milly Gray.
The sweeter the interactions between them, the more jealous she felt in her heart!
Why was it that since childhood, Lily Gray has always been able to surpass her, having better things than her?
It was like that when they were children; just as she snatched a doll from her, her uncle would buy her a better one.
Later, after her uncle died, her aunt would dote on her instead.
No matter how hard she tried, Lily Gray always managed to quickly show off something that made her envious and jealous.
They had the same family background and both were the children of the Gray family… Why could Lily Gray always excel more than her!
Milly Gray’s resentful eyes were too obvious, and it was easy for Lily to notice her staring.
In fact, from a very early age, Lily Gray had gotten used to Milly’s envy, showing no surprise when she accidentally caught her jealous gaze.
Milly’s figure was excellent, and although her features weren’t the most beautiful, when she smiled, her eyes curved, and she had two dimples on her face, making her resemble an angel’s face with a devilish figure.
But this seemingly generous and cheerful girl in the eyes of outsiders was actually narrow-minded and jealous in private.
When Lily was a child, she was very friendly with Milly too.
Because her uncle passed away early, her aunt always liked to bring her two children back to the Gray family home.
At that time, Lily didn’t know her aunt’s true nature.
Her grandmother always told her to yield to her cousin, snatching away any good things from her to give to her cousin.
Over time, Lily had even developed the habit of sharing gifts from her parents with Milly first, then keeping some for herself only after Milly had chosen.
If it wasn’t for her mother’s death and subsequent upheaval revealing many things, she might still have the same tolerant attitude towards her aunt’s family as before.
“What’s wrong, are you uncomfortable?” Aidan suddenly whispered into her ear.
Lily shook her head, “No… 1 was just thinking about some past events.”
She secretly glanced at Milly and, as expected, saw a loving expression on her face.
Her gaze fell on Aidan beside her, which revealed not only love but also a strong determination to possess him.
Lily frowned in displeasure as that feeling of being spied on and wanting her possessions returned.
As she was thinking, a heated argument suddenly erupted in the courtroom.
Lily’s thoughts were pulled back to reality, and the judge sternly banged his gavel, ordering both parties to be quiet.
Madam Gray pointed at the lawyer’s nose and scolded, “You heartless lawyer, has your conscience been eaten by dogs?! Go and ask around about me, Sonya Hamilton, and see what kind of person I am! When 1 left the village, everyone there knew 1 was an honest woman who never lied! My son wrote this IOU years ago when the Gray family was in trouble, and it was my son-in-law who lent them money. Unfortunately, my son died young, and my son-in-law followed suit, and this IOU was only found among his relics a few months ago when we were sorting through his things!”
It turned out that the evidence put forward by Madam Gray was an IOU.
The IOU clearly stated that Lily’s father, Ethan Gray, used 20% of the Gray family’s shares as collateral, borrowing sixty million dollars from his brother-in-law Liam Mckinley.
The IOU also stated that if the funds were not repaid, the 20% of shares owned by Ethan Gray would go to Liam Mckinley directly.
Uncle Liam Mckinley had passed away many years ago. If the IOU were genuine, the 20% of shares should have gone to Liam’s spouse, which was Aunt Rowena Gray.
The sudden appearance of this IOU changed the course of the trial that was initially in their favor..
