Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 691: Chapter 694: The One You Should Feel Sorry for is Aidan Lucas

The reason Madam Lucas said this was that she had already looked into the situation.

When Evelyn Lucas married Rodney Rhodes, she didn’t resist out of sadness; instead, she happily went along with it.

It was said that she even actively seduced Rhodes.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Listening to Madam Lucas’s explanation, Lily Gray couldn’t help furrowing her eyebrows, “They’ve done so much because… they’re waiting for an opportunity to deal with Ethan Wilson.”

She involuntarily looked at Madam Lucas.

The old lady’s hair had turned gray, and her face bore the traces of time.

The once hearty laughter was gone, and her back slightly stooped, making her appear both withered and weak.

Lily Gray didn’t have the heart to speak out her thoughts.

Theodore Lucas and his allies had gotten in touch with the President and were frequently active.

The reason they were doing it at this time was that they thought Madam Lucas didn’t have much time left and would soon leave this world.

Madam Lucas would visit Azure Dragon Temple every year for a short stay. Lily had once heard from Ethan Wilson that this was to prove to some people that Madam Lucas was still in good health and alive.

She didn’t understand it then, but now she finally understood the meaning of those words.

It was because of the oath made in front of the Lucas family back then.

As long as the old lady was alive, they couldn’t return to A City.

And now…

Lily Gray couldn’t help but hug Madam Lucas, feeling truly heartbroken and sad.

Theodore Lucas, as Madam Lucas’s own son, learned of her declining health and his first reaction wasn’t to worry about her, but instead to court other families and accumulate strength.

Lily Gray didn’t know what to say to comfort the old lady before her.

“Silly child, you don’t have to feel so bad for the old lady,” Madam Lucas said, seeing Lily’s unspoken thoughts with just a glance.

She bowed slightly, pressing her face to Lily’s head, and spoke in a gentle voice, “What you should feel bad for is Ethan Wilson. You’re a smart child. When the old lady came back, you must have noticed the way she looked at you was different, right?”

Lily sniffed and muttered an agreement.

Recalling Madam Lucas’s gaze now, she still felt chills.

It was so cold and detached, with a hint of scrutiny; she had never seen such an expression in the old lady’s eyes.

Madam Lucas had always been kind and gentle to her.

That cold, scrutinizing appearance was truly abnormal.

Madam Lucas sighed, “Child, it’s not really about you. The old lady was just thinking wrong.”

“You must know that Ethan has been very busy lately. All of you think this busyness is normal because he definitely hasn’t told you the truth. But the reality is that he’s so busy because the Royal Palace Group is currently under siege from all sides.”

“Theodore Lucas joined forces with the Stone family and several other families who want to swallow up the Lucas family, doing their best to suppress Ethan. And the reason Ethan has been coming home late recently is that he’s been dealing with this matter.”

“He didn’t tell me anything!” Lily’s face was full of shock. “Ethan only said it was because of a new project in the company. I thought it was just the usual business…”

Now she finally understood the meaning behind the gaze Madam Lucas gave her when she first came home.

Ethan Wilson was suffering and struggling outside, carrying the family mission on his own.

Yet she was staying comfortably at home, playing with the child every day and not even knowing what her husband was going through.

Lily Gray’s face turned pale. She wasn’t a fragile woman who couldn’t handle a little storm.

The Lucas family was facing a crisis, but Ethan Wilson chose to face it alone.

Hearing Madam Lucas’s words, Lily’s heart was filled with pain.

Lily Gray anxiously spoke up, “Grandma, I want to help Ethan. Please tell me how I can help him… I don’t want to be a burden to him. I want to stand by his side and face the difficulties and crises together.”
