Chapter 851: Chapter 854: Hosting a Matchmaking Banquet for Aidan Lucas
Indeed, ti did not betray her efforts, for Lily Gray had died in an explosion before she could enjoy her good fortune.
When she heard the news, she almost cried tears of joy.
She knew that Ethan was hers… he was hers!
“Dad.” Milly Gray suddenly spoke up.
Her sweet call to Simon Taylor instantly drew his attention.
“Milly, what’s wrong? Do you have sothing you want to tell Dad?” Simon Taylor’s attitude toward Milly was countless tis better than toward Rowena Gray.
...
Feigning innocence, Milly nodded, “Yes, dad, I think mother is right. That woman deliberately using the na Lily Redington and undergoing surgery to look like Lily Gray, it’s very likely that she’s been sent by Theodore Lucas.”
Upon hearing Milly ntion Theodore Lucas, Simon Taylor’s eyes narrowed, as if he were persuaded.
Seeing this, Milly pressed her advantage.
“Also, she has the ability to check the bank’s records and knows about the loan. And in her hand, she holds Gray family shares. Dad, don’t you think all these things add up to too much of a coincidence?”
“I feel that her targeting mother is actually just a way to target you and the Lucas family. Besides, trusting my woman’s intuition, I believe that woman definitely has feelings for Ethan.”
“Milly, what you’re saying is, that woman nad Lily Redington is sent by Theodore Lucas? And it’s very likely she’s using her charms on purpose?”
“Yes,” she affird.
Milly nodded emphatically, looking at Simon Taylor with eyes full of concern and worry.
“Dad, I think she’ll definitely make a move. Deliberately targeting mother to stir up discord within your camp and then getting hold of the Gray family. Her next step… she might go after Ethan.”
Already partial to Milly, Simon Taylor found her analysis to be reasonable.
Simon Taylor snorted coldly, “Hmph, she won’t succeed. Rowena, don’t concern yourself with this any longer, since she has such skills, the forces behind her must be no simple matter. I’ll send soone to investigate!”
“Theodore thinks too simply, as if by finding soone with a face and a na like Lily Gray, he could entice Ethan? Heh, I won’t let him get his wish. Once I’m done with what I’m handling, I’ll arrange a matchmaking banquet for Ethan.”
Upon hearing Simon Taylor talk about arranging a matchmaking banquet for Aidan Lucas, Rowena’s eyes imdiately began to dart around.
“Simon, sumr vacation is approaching, and young master Ben Lucas should be returning. Since you’re planning a matchmaking banquet for Aidan Lucas, that would be perfect…”
“Perfect for what? Out with it, what do you really want to do?”
Bringing up Ben Lucas out of the blue, Simon Taylor didn’t believe Rowena had no ulterior motive.
Although Simon Taylor was middle-aged, he maintained his appearance well.
With an aura of composed gravity, his slightly furrowed brows radiated an imposing presence without anger, which made Rowena sowhat nervous.
She couldn’t help but make a aningful glance at Milly.
Receiving Rowena’s signal, Milly started shedding tears silently.
“Sob… Sob sob…” Her sobs turned into intermittent low crying, imdiately catching Simon Taylor’s attention.
“Milly, what… what’s with the tears? You were fine a mont ago, why are you crying?” The stern expression Simon Taylor had on just a mont before was suddenly replaced by nothing but heartache and pity.
Those close to Simon Taylor knew that since he had married Rowena Gray, he had always treated her two children exceptionally well.
Especially Milly, sensible, sweet-talking, and a charr.
Therefore, Simon Taylor doted on her as if she were his own cherished daughter.
No, not just like his own daughter.
Simon Taylor treated Milly better than his own daughter born to him and his late wife.
