Chapter 17

“Madam Lucas, Miss Gray is here,” the servant gently reminded Madam Lucas. At her arrival, everyone, no matter how unwilling, grudgingly made way for her.

Everyone knew that the late CEO of the Gray family had, for some reason, caught Madam Lucas’s attention. If it wasn’t for Madam Lucas helping the Grays over the years, their business would have already fallen into others’ hands.

Now that their CEO had passed away, her daughter was married off to one of the branches of the Lucases under Madam Lucas’s arrangement.

It’s a pity there were a lot of gossip spread about Miss Gray these days.

People could not help but feel smugly, waiting for the chance to confront Lily Gray later.

“Madam Lucas, sorry for being late… Lily wishes you a happy birthday, with fortune as vast as the East Sea and longevity exceeding the southern mountain pines.”

A delicate and sweet voice came from the crowd, and everyone turned to look, revealing astonished faces at the sight.

This…Is she that ‘bumpkin’ from the Gray family!

“Oh, it’s Lily… Come over here sweetheart, you’ve grown up so much, and you’ve become much more beautiful.”

On seeing Lily Gray, Madam Lucas finally showed her first genuine smile of the night. She pulled Lily to her side, patting her hand while appreciating her charming beauty.

The usual glasses hiding her pretty eyes were taken off. Tonight, Lily was wearing a white trailing mermaid gown, studded with fragments of crystals and pearls, sparkling under the brilliant light with every step.

Her long hair was casually tied back, lazily looking sensual. Her long, fair neck was fully exposed. The porcelain-like skin, under the embellishment of pearly earrings and necklace of the same hue, appeared even more delicate.

“Well done, you are improving… since you got married, I’ve rarely seen you. Without this banquet, I suppose you would have continued doting on your in-laws instead of visiting myself!”

Madam Lucas was apparently oblivious to the real situation of Lily’s marriage into Austin Lucas’s family. One could not blame her, however, for the past pains made her feel guilt and thus she had consciously hidden the truth. But, now…

Madam Lucas held Lily’s hand, talking to her for a while, feeling somewhat regretful in her heart. If only her eldest grandson was worthy, she would have surely married off Lily to him.

While the two of them were engrossed in their conversation, the top-level socialites of A City had been reduced to mere spectators. Michelle Carter, standing at the outermost of the crowd, felt both anxious and jealous looking at Lily.

She knew Madam Lucas favored Lily Gray, but she never expected it to be this much.

When Lily felt that the conversation was winding down, she prepared to share her problems regarding Austin Lucas with Madam Lucas.

But before she could utter a word, she was interrupted.

“Lily, that’s great… Turns out you’re here,” a voice broke in.

The towering figure of Austin Lucas appeared amongst the crowd. Other than Madam Lucas, the guests had already been informed about the fallout between Lily Gray and the Lucas family.

Upon Austin’s arrival, the crowd voluntarily parted, all waiting to see the drama unfold.

Upon hearing the shout, Lily turned around to see Austin Lucas, emanating an exceptional charm in his tailored white suit.

The lady by his side was dressed in a revealing black lace dress.

The dress was almost transparent, not only that, it was reinforced at the bust with a corset, creating a rather provocative visual impact..
