Chapter 798: Chapter 801 The Old Clam Produces a Pearl (Add more 3)
“Go and accept your punishment,” Aidan Lucas gave him a fleeting glance, then refocused on the documents, “Next time, don’t let me hear you speaking ill of her again.”
Even though he had decided to keep a close watch on the woman who could inexplicably disturb his peace of mind.
He still couldn’t tolerate others speaking badly of her.
Benjamin Lucas IX left with his head hung in dejection, feeling like he had narrowly escaped disaster.
It wasn’t until he had walked out of the office that he suddenly realized something.
Holy shit, no way!
...
The ‘her’ Mr. Lucas was talking about, could it be that woman named Alice?
Mr. Lucas actually has a protective streak for a woman?
Oh my god…
The skies of the Lucas family are really about to change!
*
Two days later.
Lily was bored to death, waiting in the hotel room.
After coming back, she had been waiting for two days, thinking that Aidan Lucas would surely contact her soon.
Instead, aside from calls from her parents and David Redington, her cell phone didn’t ring once.
She regretted giving out her private number all for nothing!
Lily was slightly annoyed, if she had known this would happen, she wouldn’t have left so easily that day.
Mr. Lucas was not someone easily seen, especially now when they had no official relationship whatsoever.
“Miss, here is the information you asked me to research. And these, these are the financial reports of the Gray family for the last quarter. However, these are only the public figures, the actual situation is known only to the insiders at Gray family,” Witherspoon’s assistant entered, accompanied by Blake, after knocking on the door.
“Mm.”
Lily took the documents and started to review them.
Blake chimed in from the side, feeding her tidbits he knew.
“Miss, the current helm of the Gray family is your former aunt, Rowena Gray. She has been quite the success story these past few years, transforming from a penniless person to a guest of honor at gatherings of noble ladies. If you ask me, it’s not about how well a woman does her job, but how well she marries. If Rowena Gray hadn’t married a good husband, she would never have such a blessed life!”
“Married well? Who did she marry?”
A hint of annoyance flashed in Blake’s eyes; his mouth really needed disciplining.
How could he forget the relationship between that family and the miss here?
“It’s okay Blake, go ahead. Tell me everything you know. If I intend to take back Gray family, naturally, I need to know who is behind her.”
Seeing that there was no way out, Blake continued reluctantly.
“Rowena Gray really struck luck. Four years ago, the Gray family had fallen into decline. The only thing Rowena Gray could Count on was the dividend you give to Madam Gray every year. But who could have imagined that suddenly, Rowena would get involved with the head of The Taylors? That’s Simon Taylor, Mr. Cooper’s mother’s older brother.”
“Uncle?!” Lily was genuinely taken aback. Simon Taylor and Rowena Gray were two people who seemed to be worlds apart.
How could they have had a chance to meet?
She still maintained the habit of addressing people from the days she was with Aidan Lucas.
“How could an uncle like that be interested in Rowena Gray?”
Her impression of Simon Taylor was quite favorable; he seemed to her a wise, modest, and respectful elder.
A woman like Rowena Gray was simply not his match.
“Exactly, everyone thought so at first. If there really was something going on, they’d assume Simon was just toying with Rowena. After all, she came with a daughter and a son; The Taylors would never accept her.”
“But who would have thought, that Rowena Gray is not a simple woman. She actually managed to conceive Simon’s child! Not only did Simon marry her, but now they have a son who is three years old!”
A three-year-old child, the same age as Abbie and Lulu. @@novelbin@@
But the child’s parents were Aidan’s uncle and her once-aunt.
Lily was speechless, these two were truly…
[Author’s Note] Some readers say they can’t wait, so I will first post the 3 chapters I’ve written. There’s another update, I’ll continue writing.
