Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 799: Chapter 802: Unexpectedly Involves Ben Lucas (Added 4 More)

Lily flipped through the documents, her expression growing even colder.

The records showed that since her departure, Madam Gray’s health had been deteriorating.

Before Lily left, despite resenting Madam Gray for her past merciless favoritism, she provided for her out of a sense of duty—not only did she give a monthly living allowance and a share of the company’s year-end dividends, but she also made sure to place her in a nursing home for care.

However, not long after she left, Madam Gray was taken back to the Gray residence.

Rowena claimed that being cared for by her own daughter at home would be more meticulous and tender.

But Lily knew they probably just didn’t want to spend the money.

...

After all, the nursing home she had picked for Madam Gray was the best in A City.

The accommodation fees alone were a significant monthly expense.

Once Lily was gone, naturally, there was no one to foot the bill.

To think that Rowena would part with the company dividends—that was unlikely.

“Miss, it’s quite strange. Madam Gray, despite suffering a stroke and her poor health, had been living well for so many years. However, just last month, she suddenly had a cerebral hemorrhage at home. By the time she was brought to the hospital, it was too late, and she passed away,” Blake said.

“And coincidentally, just before her passing, she had just transferred all her Gray family shares to Rowena Gray.

Blake’s words were clear—he suspected that Rowena had gotten the shares and then had the old lady done away with.

“That’s not right, even if Rowena had malicious intentions, she wouldn’t be able to get the shares,” Lily said with furrowed brows.

“All shares of the Gray family have always been in my possession. When I found out I was not my Daddy and mother’s child, the Gray family came to make a scene. But those shares I bought with my own money, they have no right to demand them. The dividends I gave to Madam Gray were out of a sense of duty; she never held any Gray family shares in her hand.”

“Miss, you might have forgotten…” Blake couldn’t help but remind her, “In name, Lily Gray had already died in an explosion three years ago.”

“You were no longer there, and the Gray family said that the company could not go a day without someone in charge. Later… it was The Taylors who helped them, getting the shares back on their behalf.”

“Got them back, from whom?” Lily had an ominous feeling.

Indeed, she heard Blake say, “They got them… from your eldest son.”

“Ben?!”

Lily had never imagined she would hear such an answer. @@novelbin@@

“Yes, with Lily Gray gone, her inheritance naturally would go to her partner. But Mr. Cooper wouldn’t want those things. So I inquired, and after the nominal Lily Gray was no more, Mr. Cooper entrusted all of her inheritance to the young master.”

“Simon Taylor is the young master’s great-uncle. If he approached the young master to ask for it, the young master would likely not refuse.”

In an instant, Lily’s heart felt bitterly cold.

Even knowing that Ben was Mr. Lucas’s young master, and no one would dare to bully him,

she couldn’t shake off the sensation that her child, unprotected by his mother, was being taken advantage of.

Aidan’s approach consoled her. Even if she was nominally gone, he made sure all her assets went to Ben.

But Simon Taylor… what right did he have to go and ask Ben for Rowena’s sake?

That was her property—even if she was truly gone, it was something Lily Gray left for her son!

“Blake, go find out more about this for me. I want a thorough investigation. I need to know if there’s more to this mess! Whether Ben acted willingly or not, those things are what I left for him, and I absolutely cannot allow others to take them away.”

“Furthermore, the Gray corporate empire is the fruit of my father and mother’s hard work, and there’s no way I’ll let it fall into Rowena’s hands.”

“Yes, Miss. Rest assured, with you back in person, even if they have a great excuse, it can’t outweigh the share certificate in your hands,” Blake assured her, taking the opportunity to throw in a few flattering words.

He wanted to continue, but there was a sudden urgent ring of the doorbell from outside.
