Chapter 15 - 15: The Main Lucas Family is the Key
Chapter 15
Vivian Walters has a charm that not only makes her irresistible but also gives off an indescribable allure when she acts coquettishly.
If Lily Gray had half the charm of Vivian, there would have been no need for him to find another woman.
When he thought of Lily Gray, who looked rigid and uninteresting with her black-framed glasses, Austin Lucas felt nothing but frustration. If it weren’t for obtaining Lily’s mother’s support, why would he marry such a wooden woman, putting himself in an awkward situation?
“Don’t worry, she won’t be able to do anything…that day, I’ll prepare a generous gift for her!”
*
A week had passed, and the relationship between Lily Gray and Austin Lucas had reached a deadlock.
The Lucas family adamantly refused to admit Austin’s affair. Lily had always felt somewhat guilty towards Austin, thinking that she only married him for her mother’s sake, so she never had any guard up against him.
Without evidence of his infidelity, she had no reliable relatives to rely on, and the servants in the family seemed to have their own agendas. To be honest, Lily also admitted that when compared to the Lucas family, she held all the losing cards.
On the other hand, the massive Lucas family had a much more solid foundation in A City than the Gray family.
Furthermore, Austin Lucas was very good at socializing. Although he occasionally had social engagements, he didn’t have a disreputable reputation. Michelle Carter and Zara Lucas, the mother and daughter, were no easy targets either. These days, they had been badmouthing Lily in various wife and socialite groups.
Ever since the two came out of the psychiatric hospital, their hatred towards her had deepened.
Lily had received several messages from friends, mentioning how the mother and daughter have been spreading rumors and slandering her.
“Miss Gray, from a legal perspective, divorcing Mr. Lucas only requires calculating and dividing the couple’s joint property and pre-marital property. However, as you know, the Lucas family is a prominent family in A City. If they refuse to let you go or want to divide most of your family property before letting you go, it would be a difficult situation,”
The person analyzing the current situation for Lily was Theodore, a lawyer who had worked with Lily’s mother for many years.
When he referred to the Lucas family, he actually meant not the Lucas branch headed by Brandon Lucas, Austin’s father, but the main Lucas family who could control the nation’s economy and fortunes.
The Lucas family he referred to owned the mansion on Royal Serenity Avenue. That old manor belonged solely to the head of the main Lucas family
“I understand, Theodore. I will consider your advice,”
Lily hurriedly left the lawyer’s office and directly asked the driver to take her to the familiar private club.
Since everyone did not have much faith in her divorce due to the influence of the main Lucas family, she would take advantage of Madam Lucas’s birthday banquet tonight to ask for her help again, for her mother’s sake.
She had already prepared the dress for the birthday banquet. In order not to be impolite, Lily went to a private club for a head-to-toe spa, then had her hair done and put on makeup and the dress with the help of a stylist.
The driver started the car and headed towards Royal Serenity Avenue.
There was the mansion of the main Lucas family..
