Did she have scales over her eyes before, otherwise how would she have taken a fancy to such a person like Austin Lucas.
A sense of self-pity suddenly sprang from the bottom of her heart, for her past self.
Lily Gray looked at Austin Lucas, was this man before her, the one she once wholeheartedly wanted to marry?
For him, she was willing to be trapped in that oppressive mansion, worn down by the treacherous old lady of the Lucas family, the shrewish mother-in-law, and the ever-hostile sister-in-law.
The cold smile at the corner of her lips gradually widened, and Lily Gray slowly broke into laughter. Without the cover of her black-framed glasses, her alluring features sketched out a bright and beautiful attractiveness in front of Austin Lucas.
“This gentleman…” she looked at Austin Lucas, articulating each word.
“Before you detest others being filthy, please take a look at yourself. No matter how dirty I am, 1 would never bring another man back to the newlywed’s bedroom and do such disgusting things on the wedding bed that my other half hasn’t even slept on. I would never, to shake off the tragic and dark label of being an illegitimate child, deliberately approach and manipulate a girl so that her marriage is ruined. Austin Lucas…”
Her peach blossom eyes landed on him, her bright features concealing disdain and arrogance.
This was the first time Austin Lucas saw such an expression on Lily Gray’s face.
“Austin Lucas… I look down on you!”
“Ptui—you shameless wench, who are you to insult our Austin Lucas!? I’ll make you pay!!!”
Austin Lucas was Michelle Carter’s pride, her life, the most important face, and bargaining chip for her to climb the social ladder to the position of a wealthy madam.
No one, absolutely no one, could tarnish her pride and her reliance in front of her.
While Austin Lucas was stupefied by Lily Gray’s words, Michelle Carter suddenly lunged at Lily Gray.
Michelle Carter was already used to spats and confrontations from the lower class, swearing and throwing tantrums came naturally to her.
Although Lily Gray was on guard, she still got knocked into the elevator wall by the sudden body slam from Michelle Carter.
Before she could recover, she looked up to see Michelle Carter lunging at her again, apparently aiming to pull her hair. Without a second thought, Lily Gray lifted her leg and kicked at Michelle Carter’s shin.
The shin had little flesh on it, so a kick there was most painful.
With a cry of “Ouch,” Michelle Carter sat on the floor, clutching her leg.
Only now did Austin Lucas react to what was happening. Seeing his mother getting hit, he unthinkingly raised his hand, ready to slap Lily Gray in the face.
Any principle of not hitting women was entirely thrown out the window at this moment.
As his right hand was raised high, and his face twisted, Lily Gray was taken aback.
Oh my, she had been playing this game only because she saw the elevator was nearing the 88th floor. But the elevator didn’t stop, had she gone too far today!
Just then, with a “ding dong”, they finally arrived at the 88th floor and the elevator door opened automatically.
Outside the elevator, there were several people standing, seemingly waiting for the elevator as well.
As soon as the elevator opened, all showed a flabbergasted expression.
“What… what are you doing… quickly, call security!”
Just at that moment, a wailing cry came from inside the elevator. A woman who looked like a noble lady was sitting on the ground, wailing and crying like a shrew, holding her leg.
“All, someone come and save me… I am almost being beaten to death by this woman!”
“She’s really heartless, hitting even her elders… Son, come help me look, is my leg broken? Oh, oh… my chest is in so much pain…. am I going to die!”
