Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 766: Chapter 769: Not Forgiving Larry Scott (Additional 3)

“This is outrageous, such blatant bullying!”

Duke Redington slammed his palm on the marble table, causing it to tremble slightly due to his anger.

It was evident how much force he had used in that single strike.

“As for the Ford family, not a single person will be let off. I must find out how my daughter’s identity was switched, who is responsible, and get to the bottom of this. I will make them pay for what they’ve done to our Lily!”

Back in Reddington Castle, Duke Redington, the head of the household, was settling the scores with David Redington regarding the years of humiliation and suffering Lily Gray had endured.

“It’s not necessary.” Lily sat in a corner of the sofa, looking somewhat dispirited. “Not everyone in the Ford family is a villain. My brother treated me well. I don’t care if you want to settle old scores, but you don’t need to take revenge on my behalf.”

Now, she hated the words “revenge” deeply.

It was because of revenge that she left Aidan Lucas.

And because of revenge, she lost Ben Lucas.

These were two words she didn’t want to hear in her lifetime.

Her thoughts began to drift far away…

After discovering her true parentage, she had been staying in the castle for over a week.

She could feel the genuine love her family had for her.

This touched Lily, but deep inside, she felt a lingering sense of depression.

Initially, Lily didn’t know why she felt this way.

It wasn’t until three days ago when Larry Scott, who had flown over from Eastonia, appeared before her.

Only then did she finally understand where her feelings of sorrow and melancholy stemmed from.

Before this, Lily had never met Larry.

In her imagination, the high-ranking legion commander should be a fierce and cruel man with a muscular build, utterly terrifying and unreasonable.

But when the real Larry stood in front of her.

She found out that he was not the brutish figure she had imagined.

He stood straight and tall, slender and smartly dressed, exuding the aura of a soldier. When he saw her, his gloomy eyes suddenly reddened.

Larry’s eyes welled up with tears as he looked at her, his voice filled with guilt and regret.

He begged for her forgiveness, explained his difficulties, and was willing to suffer humiliation to clear up the misunderstanding between her and Aidan Lucas.

However, Lily found that she couldn’t forgive him at all…

She couldn’t forgive Larry, and she couldn’t bring herself to ask Aidan Lucas for forgiveness either.

How could she forgive him?

How could she!

Grandma Lucas was dead, leaving Aidan, and their grandson Ben!

She died under Larry’s scheme… in the hands of her own uncle.

Lily fled in panic, refusing to see or talk to Larry.

She hid in her room, refusing to come out or accept Larry’s apology.

The Reddington family was in distress. Having their long-lost daughter return home was already difficult, but now, her resistance toward her uncle was so strong it was unexpected.

Sylvia Scott had no grounds to blame Larry, as he had done those things for her sake.

However, Duke Redington had no fondness for this brother-in-law, failing to realize that he himself had trampled on the Lucas family when he found out about Larry’s plans for revenge.

Seeing Larry waiting for two days while Lily hid away, even refusing to go outside, the Duke finally decided to send him away, ignoring his cold gaze.

With Larry gone, Lily was willing to come out again. @@novelbin@@

This made Sylvia relieved as well as worried.

After all, Larry had done all those things for her sake. Having Lily so resistant to her brother made things difficult for Sylvia.

Sigh, hopefully when enough time has passed, Lily will be able to let go of her resentment.
