Chapter 415: Chapter 418: Do You Know the Scott Family and Ford Family?
“David… You called me here, what did you want to say?”
Lily Gray felt that David’s expression was indescribably strange.
It seemed like he was smiling, but also like…
In short, it was a feeling that couldn’t be put into words.
Just looking at him like this made her feel suffocated and anxious.
“Hmm… You don’t look very well… Is there something you want me to help with?”
David heard the concern in Lily Gray’s tone and smiled with relief.
“It’s nothing. I just wanted to tell you… you’re doing well now. In the future, when you go out, bring more bodyguards. After the Lucas family’s banquet tomorrow night, your identity as Aidan Lucas’ wife will probably be made public.”
In the end, he was still shaken.
He clearly knew that even if the old man sent someone to catch her, nothing would happen to her.
But seeing dainty and frail Lily Gray, he couldn’t help but want to remind her to bring more people along with her.
When Lily Gray heard what David said, she mistakenly thought he was worried about unnecessary troubles that might arise from her identity being exposed con this translationcidentally used “Ethan.”
Although she felt that David was being overly cautious, she still thanked him, “Thank you for the reminder, don’t worry… I’ll be careful.”
Seeing that she had finished speaking and seemed about to leave, David couldn’t help but call out to her, “Wait…”
“What? Is there something else?”
“I…” David hesitated, not wanting to say what he shouldn’t remind her of.
But the girl in front of him who tilted her head to look at him made him feel an innate sense of affinity.
Unable to help himself, he clenched his fists and spoke softly, “Have you ever heard of the Scott family in B City?”
David suddenly changed the topic, and Lily Gray frowned, thought about it, and nodded, “I’ve heard of them. The Scott family is also a very prestigious family.” A City and B City are both the largest economic centers in Eastonia.
It could be said that almost all of the top privileged families in Eastonia come from A City and B City.
“Right.” David nodded.
“The Scott family in B City started out with smuggling and black market dealings a hundred years ago, then went legitimate during the war and entered the military for development. Now the Scott family, although they still have a military background on the surface, they still retain some of their past underworld methods.”
Lily Gray listened carefully but didn’t understand why David was telling her this.
What did the Scott family have to do with her?
Seeing that Lily Gray blinked her peach blossom eyes, looking quite confused, David knew that she hadn’t figured out the point of his impromptu hint.
“Are you mentioning the Scott family because they’ll be sending someone to the banquet tomorrow night?”
Lily Gray thought about it, and this seemed to be the biggest reason why David would suddenly mention the Scott family.
“The Scott family probably won’t come… I heard that this time the banquet only invited the prestigious families in A City.”
“Oh…” Lily Gray nodded.
If that was the case, why did David suddenly mention the Scott family?
She was about to ask when David preempted her, “By the way, have you heard of the Ford family?”
Lily Gray furrowed her brows even more tightly.
She felt that there was something off about David today.
“The Ford family… Which Ford family?”
David looked down at her, and his beautiful blue eyes were filled with deeper meaning, “The Ford family that initially made their fortune in international trade in A City.”
“If you haven’t heard of it, it’s not surprising… After they made their wealth, they moved their main base of operations overseas. Now they mainly do international trade and shipping, and in recent years, they have also started to enter the financial field.”
Lily Gray didn’t really know about this Ford family that had made a fortune in international trade.
She knew of two Ford families, one in A City that did real estate, and one in B City that did software development.
However, she thought that David couldn’t possibly be mentioning another family she didn’t know about without any reason.
So, she asked.
“So you mentioned the Ford family because they’re also coming to the banquet tomorrow night?”
