It wasn’t until this mont that Lily Gray realized that the gorgeous noble lady in front of her was none other than Aidan Lucas’ mother.
Aidan Lucas’ mother was a stunning beauty, boasting a more sophisticated and elegant appearance than any other noble lady present. She effortlessly exuded an air of refinent that radiated from her very being, eclipsing everyone around her.
In comparison, the other ladies present paled in appearance and deanor.
After Aidan Lucas introduced Lily Gray, she quickly acknowledged with a polite and respectful tone, “Hello, mother. My na is Lily Gray.”
Her voice was soft and gentle, her attitude respectful and slightly shy, making her seem both approachable and demure.
Lily Gray always took pride in her ability to behave appropriately and gracefully in front of her elders, thanks to her mother’s teachings.
However, “good” behavior is always relative to one’s audience.
Just like Austin Lucas’ mother and sister, they had disliked her from the beginning. No matter how well she behaved, they’d always find fault with her.
Lily Gray had no idea how the noble lady in front of her viewed her, and could only await her response.
But instead of receiving Aidan Lucas’ mother’s response, she heard another sharp and sarcastic voice.
“What mother? You sound so sweet, but we Emily cannot bear such a title.”
The speaker was a noble lady seated next to Aidan Lucas’ mother. The Emily she ntioned was Aidan Lucas’ mother’s na. Her full na was Emily Taylor.
“Miss Gray, you really have a way with people, managing to charm Aidan into marrying you without us knowing… Ah, with your skills, why even bother seeking acknowledgnt from us elders? You could just stay in Blue Bay Estates and be Mrs. Lucas, after all, in your eyes, we elders are just worthless old fellows.”
“I didn’t…”
Lily Gray tried to explain, but Aidan Lucas stepped in.
“Aunt, I arranged this matter, and Lily has nothing to do with it.”
Aidan Lucas’ clearly biased attitude left the woman who was deliberately picking a fight feeling embarrassed.
Although she was Aidan Lucas’ aunt, she felt sowhat weak in front of her nephew. Whenever Aidan Lucas showed even a hint of coldness, she dared not speak up anymore.
However, today, Emma Shaw was determined to stir things up no matter what.
Her nephew had been the first person she had spotted and planned to arrange a marriage for with a cousin from her maternal family.
But just a few days after ntioning it to her sister-in-law Emily, news ca from Blue Bay Estates that not only had the nephew who had always resisted marriage brought back a woman, but that woman had also assud the position of mistress.
Emma Shaw had already investigated Lily Gray’s background, and it was she who had manipulated Emily Taylor to have a negative impression of Lily Gray.
Anyway, she was determined to make Emily Taylor dislike this daughter-in-law and have Aidan Lucas kick her out sooner rather than later.
“Tsk tsk… Emily, just look, as soon as your son Aidan gets married, he no longer regards even us elders. In no ti, you and the old lady will be overshadowed by this new wife!”
“Enough, Emma! Your mouth really has no filter, twisting the truth further and further… it’s ridiculous to bring the old lady into this.”
Although Emily Taylor chastised Emma Shaw, the look in her eyes revealed that it was rely for show.
As the wife of the Lucas family and Aidan Lucas’ mother, she had felt a fleeting joy when she first heard that her son was finally willing to get married.
From then on, however, she had been steeped in a mood of frustration and regret.
Aidan Lucas, with his exceptional status, could have easily married a foreign princess.
So why did he marry a woman who had already been married and was thrown out for infidelity?
What was so good about Lily Gray? Not only was she on her second marriage, but her family background was also incredibly ordinary.. Marrying her was not just an elevation in status, it was a downright waste of resources!
