Chapter 70 - 73: My Woman Cannot be Branded by Others
Zara Lucas’s voice came from the speaker, and even through the phone, her arrogance was evident.
She didn’t know where her confidence came from, but even now, she still believed that Lily Gray would like her brother.
Lily Gray couldn’t help but scoff, and said to Zara on the other end of the phone, “Miss Lucas, if there’s something wrong with your brain, I suggest you go see a psychiatrist. Oh, your mother has already been to one before, and I heard it’s difficult to completely cure mental issues. So, both you and your mother should make it a habit to regularly check in. Otherwise, it could be your own faces you lose if it happens in public.”
“You, you slut, what did you say?! Lily Gray, let me tell you, don’t try to pretend you don’t like my brother in front of me. If you want to get back with him, get out here now!”
Lily Gray was speechless at Zara’s superiority complex and didn’t want to listen to any more nonsense. Ignoring Ethan Wilson’s order to answer the phone, she reached out her index finger, preparing to swipe the screen to hang up the call.
However, before her finger touched the screen, Ethan Wilson suddenly leaned over.
“Agree to it.” He whispered next to her ear.
Lily Gray looked at him suspiciously, but she forgot how close they were.
Their cherry lips grazed each other’s corners and cheeks, close enough for each other’s breaths to become clear.
“Lily Gray, if you don’t come out and see me, believe it or not, I’ll go home and tell my brother that you’re being kept by an old man! If he knows, there’s no way he’ll remarry you!”
Zara’s scolding continued on the other end of the phone, but Lily Gray and Ethan Wilson were no longer listening to her words.
“Agree to meet her at the Seven-star King’s Palace Hotel first floor coffee shop.” Ethan Wilson lowered his voice, the deep and sexy tone making her ears burn.
Lily Gray didn’t understand what Ethan Wilson was up to, but she could tell from his tone that the man’s mood was very, very… bad.
Well, since Ethan Wilson wanted her to go, she would go.
Lily Gray automatically blocked out Zara’s profanities and said into the receiver, “Seven-star King’s Palace Hotel first-floor coffee shop, half an hour from now. You better not be late, I won’t wait too long.”
After hanging up the phone, Lily Gray asked, puzzled, “Why did you agree to meet her? She must be crazy.”
Ethan Wilson suddenly pulled her closer and gently rubbed the red mark he left on the back of her neck, his deep voice saying, “Even if she is crazy, she can’t be allowed to slander my woman. She says you still want to remarry Austin Lucas, is that true, hmm?”
“Of course not.” Lily Gray denied without hesitation.
Ethan Wilson nodded, his deep eyes looking at her, “In that case, I will go with you. My woman cannot bear the mark of someone else.”
As a result, due to Ethan Wilson’s inexplicable action, Lily Gray had no choice but to accompany him to meet Zara Lucas.

She followed Ethan Wilson into the Seven-star King’s Palace Hotel, and before they reached the hotel lobby, several men wearing black suits with hotel name tags on their chests hurriedly walked up to them.
“Mr. Cooper, hello.”
“Mr. Cooper, hello.”
As they walked further in, the senior executives marked as hotel managers on their name tags kept nodding and bowing to Ethan Wilson.
Ethan Wilson, with his arm around her waist, suddenly stopped.
“Disperse, everyone. I’m just coming in for a coffee today, no need to follow me.”
After he finished speaking, Ethan Wilson continued walking, his arm still wrapped around Lily Gray.
Lily Gray looked back and noticed that after hearing Ethan Wilson’s words, the senior executives all stood in their spots, wiping their sweat as if they had finally been able to breathe a sigh of relief..
