Swept by the caras at the auction site, Vivian Walters imdiately flashed a triumphant smile toward the lens.
Her heart was elated, excited beyond control.
Because this was the first ti since her plastic surgery that she had truly defeated Lily Redington.
Such a victory was worth commorating.
Vivian shot Lily a provocative glance in her direction.
And this look was captured entirely by the caras, instantly appearing on the big screens to the left and right of the exhibition stand.
The guests and reporters present all saw ’Lily Gray’ defeat Lily Redington, looking triumphantly pleased with herself.
So even whispered, "I thought the Reddington family was loaded, but they can’t even outbid Lily Gray."
"Yeah, you can’t judge a book by its cover. Lily Gray was Mr. Lucas’s ex-wife; she might have gotten quite a bit of money from him in the past."
"Tsk tsk, Miss Redington is not up to it; she can’t even outdo an old fla. Alas, she gave up on the bidding so quickly; it’s not satisfying enough."
Although these sounds were spoken softly, they more or less reached the front rows.
Noticing Lily’s lips slightly pouting, apparently upset, Aidan Lucas imdiately soothed her in a low voice.
"Lily, don’t be angry... That jade ornant wasn’t worth that much, it was right not to bid. As for what others say, let it go in one ear and out the other, don’t take it to heart."
"Who says I’m angry because of them?"
Lily glared at him irritably, "I’m angry with you, it has nothing to do with them!"
"Angry with ..." Aidan Lucas’s gaze flickered, helplessly ruffling her hair, "Are you still holding a grudge because I didn’t tell you the answer?"
"Yes, I’m still holding a grudge," Lily admitted frankly, "But what makes angrier is another matter."
"Oh, where else have I offended Lily?" Aidan Lucas asked.
Lily glared at him annoyed and tilted her head to one side, unwilling to look at him.
Her lips protruded even more.
She felt so irritated just thinking about how her spendthrift behavior had inadvertently turned into making money.
Annoying Aidan Lucas, she certainly didn’t want to admit it to make him feel smug!
Unfortunately, though Lily was reluctant to say it, a certain inscrutable big bad wolf guessed what was on Lily’s mind straight away.
Looking at the delicate profile of the little woman, Aidan Lucas affectionately drew her into his embrace.
"There, there, Lily darling, let’s not be angry anymore. Lily is my lucky star, really brings good fortune, you should be happy for helping your husband make a fortune on your first try, right?"
Lily braced her hands against the man’s firm chest, trying to push him away.
But Aidan Lucas held her securely, and she couldn’t move him at all.
Lily imdiately beca annoyed, not caring about their surroundings, and started punching his chest with her little fists.
"Who is your lucky star? Who brings good fortune? I’m single now, don’t flatter yourself."
"Moreover, I didn’t want to make money for you; I wanted to spend your money. It’s just your luck that Vivian Walters, that fake, happened to co along. With such a rare opportunity, if I didn’t take advantage of it to fleece her, I’d be too foolish... anyway, I wasn’t deliberately letting you off easy, it just so happened."
Lily pouted arrogantly, refusing to admit that she had, in fact, felt a little reluctance just now.
"Lily, how can you be so adorable?" Lily’s words had no effect, only making the man hold her tighter.
He tilted her chin up and couldn’t help but kiss her soft lips, speaking in a husky voice.
"You still say you’re not good fortune, not my lucky star, hmm? That jade ornant cost three million seven hundred fifty thousand to acquire, and you just turned around and had Vivian Walters spend thirty-seven point five million on it. Lily darling, you’re really too good to your husband..."
