Whispers and murmurs of discussion began to circulate around them.
Lily Gray couldn’t help but glance at the middle-aged man in front of her. As expected of a top lawyer, his words hit Michelle Carter and Austin Lucas right where it hurt.
“So, she was the mistress who took over, huh?”
“An illegitimate child no less, all this time 1 thought he was Mr. Lucas’s son with his late wife.”
Mr. Carter chuckled as he watched Austin Lucas and Michelle Carter lose face in front of everyone. He then said to the security captain, “I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take Mrs. Lucas inside now. Please send the surveillance record of this elevator to my office later. Since Mrs. Lucas is preparing to sue, it is only natural for me, as her lawyer, to help her handle everything properly.”
In his words, he always defended Lily Gray.
These remarks also changed how people looked at Lily Gray.
“Wait…wait a minute…Mr. Fenton, did you get something wrong?” Austin Lucas had never been humiliated like this before, so he couldn’t help but call out to Mr. Fenton.
Even when he was the Lucas family’s illegitimate child in the past, he had never been treated with such contempt.
“Mr. Fenton, you say she’s Mrs. Lucas…but we have already divorced.” He looked at Lily Gray with disdain and contempt.
As if he desperately wanted to sever any connection with her, he couldn’t bear to look at Lily Gray for even a second longer.
Lily Gray and Mr. Fenton had almost walked through the door of the law firm when they heard his words and stopped in their tracks.
Just as Mr. Fenton was about to respond, Lily Gray stopped him.
She turned to face Austin Lucas, her slightly raised chin showing disdain and arrogance, as if he was the one not worth a second glance.
“We have indeed divorced, but do you think there’s only one person in this world with the last name Lucas? Mr. Lucas, instead of worrying about others, you should worry more about your mother. After all, Mr. Fenton’s reputation as my attorney isn’t false.”
At this moment, Austin Lucas finally remembered what Mr. Fenton had said before.
He would sue them on behalf of Lily Gray after obtaining the video.
Josua Fenton’s “Undefeated General” title was well known in the judiciary circle, and before Austin Lucas could say a few more words, Mr. Fenton and Lily Gray’s figures had already disappeared.
“Oh, my chest hurts so much…Austin, quickly call my personal doctor, 1 can’t stand it any longer…It hurts so much!”
Michelle Carter might not be the brightest, but she was still able to see the changing atmosphere and adapt. She immediately sat down on the ground and burst into loud sobs.
Seeing her like this, the security personnel naturally couldn’t press her further to call the police. They not only dreaded the Lucas family’s status, but also feared that the noble lady might be playing a trick on them.
Although they had seen many old ladies play such tricks, they had never seen a noble lady do it before. But the world was full of surprises, and perhaps this noble lady was one who didn’t care about appearances.
Finally, Austin Lucas left with Michelle Carter, their heads hanging in shame. Seeing the amount of money he had stuffed into their hands, the security team agreed to give an edited version of the video to Mr. Fenton.
Lily Gray, who went back to the office with Mr. Fenton, didn’t even care about the video.
She had merely mentioned it as an offhand comment, to prevent Michelle Carter from brazenly accusing others. She had more important things to do now and couldn’t spare the time to deal with Austin Lucas and his mother.
“Mrs. Lucas, please have a seat.” The normally aloof and arrogant Mr. Fenton was unusually attentive when dealing with Lily Gray.
“Mrs. Lucas, these are the three plans 1 prepared overnight at Mr. Lucas’s instruction. Please take a look and see which one you prefer, and we’ll proceed with that one.”
Mr. Fenton owed a great debt of gratitude to Aidan Lucas for saving his life, and even with his current status, he never delegated tasks assigned by Aidan Lucas to others, handling everything personally.
Lily Gray took the three documents and began to read through them, soon furrowing her brow.
Each one was more ruthless than the last, as if they were meant to completely destroy her grandmother, Mrs.. Gray, and her aunt, Rowena Gray!
