Milly Gray, upon seeing this, not only felt no pity but actually took great delight.
"Hmph, even if you are a lady of the Reddington family, you have no right to ddle in my family’s affairs!" Milly Gray halted her action, and, relying on the nurous supporters behind her, provocatively looked toward Lily.
"You are mistaken," Lily said, helping Emily Taylor to stand up, "this is not just your family’s matter, but also The Taylors’. Charles Taylor bears the Taylor surna, and so does my mother-in-law. You are abusing her nephew in front of her; tell , does this not count as our family’s affair?"
"Pfft... I thought you were going to say sothing of substance." Milly Gray scoffed with disdain, "Emily Taylor, what significance does she hold? Do you think Emily Taylor is still Mrs. Lucas? Ha... I just told you, you should ask Orlando Lucas what she really is now."
Lily frowned slightly, turning her gaze towards Orlando Lucas.
Orlando Lucas, standing aside, explained with a cold voice, "Young Lady, Miss Taylor is no longer Mrs. Lucas, nor is she your mother-in-law anymore. The current Mrs. Lucas is Tara Hammond, and she is now Mr. Lucas’ legal wife."
"Tara Hammond..." Lily’s eyes paused, the na sounding familiar.
Soon, she rembered; she had heard this woman’s na from Madam Lucas.
She is the so-called true love of Theodore Lucas from those years past.
Theodore Lucas abandoned his wife willingly, all for this mistress.
"Pah, Orlando Lucas, I warn you, shut your dog mouth!" Emily Taylor trembled with rage, her hand holding onto Lily shaking as she fiercely cursed out at Orlando Lucas.
She had conducted herself with elegance her whole life; this was the first ti Lily had ever seen her swear in anger.
"You’ve got so nerve, who gave you the right to let that woman beco Mrs. Lucas?! I am the daughter-in-law recognized by the old man and the old lady, no one can strip of my title, not even Theodore Lucas!"
Confronted with Emily Taylor’s rebuke, Orlando Lucas replied calmly: "Originally, it was the old man who announced Sir’s death to the public, hence your na remained on the family tree. But now, with Sir ’returning from the dead’ and rejoining the Lucas family, his remarriage and his new wife are, of course, to be recorded in the family tree."
With that, a flicker of pity passed through the cold black pupils of Orlando Lucas.
"Madam, let go. If it’s not yours, why cling to it?"
"No, I refuse to let go!" Emily Taylor retorted without a second thought. "My place was given by the old man and the old lady, and no one can take it from ."
"Hmph, that mistress thinks by currying favor with Theodore Lucas, she can usurp my place? Thinks that by taking her seat as the principal wife, she can legitimize that illegitimate child? You go back and tell her, even if Emily Taylor dies, she won’t benefit from it, so she’d better abandon this idea early on!"
Emily Taylor wasn’t just trying to scare them, she truly ant every word she said.
If Theodore Lucas ultimately resorts to drastic asures to force her to relinquish her position, she would without any hesitation die as Mrs. Lucas.
Upon her death, even if Tara Hammond were to enter the household, she would only ever be the second wife.
The deceased cannot be erased from the family tree.
As long as she dies in the position of Mrs. Lucas, her son will forever be the legitimate first-born grandson.
"Mom, what are you saying... Don’t talk of death so casually, you won’t have any problems, none of us will. Besides, Ethan Wilson and I only acknowledge you as our mother, and Ben Lucas and the others only recognize one grandmother - you. We do not recognize anybody else!"
Lily already clearly understood the aning behind Emily Taylor’s words.
