Chapter 89 - 92: She Won’t Embarrass Aidan Lucas
In the photo, Angelina Shaw was now wearing the sapphire blue mermaid dress.
If it wasn’t mentioned, perhaps under the dim dance floor lights, people might think that Angelina was the woman in the photo.
Lily Gray lowered her eyes and stopped looking at Angelina Shaw.
If she had only been on guard against Emily Taylor and Emma Shaw before, now she was 100% certain that they were up to something at the banquet tonight.
Unexpectedly, her noble mother-in-law, in order to replace her daughter-in-law with someone more to her liking, was even capable of doing such a despicable thing.
The car soon stopped outside a manor where a private dinner party was being held tonight.
Lily Gray didn’t plan to do much, nor did she intend to inform Aidan Lucas about the situation. After all, when Aidan saw Angelina, he, being so smart, would naturally understand everything.
She could tell that Angelina liked Aidan very much, otherwise she wouldn’t have cooperated with the two noble ladies, degrading herself by being part of this play.
However, if Aidan hadn’t married her before, he naturally wouldn’t marry her in the future.
The fact that he chose Lily Gray showed that he didn’t care for Angelina at all.
With her mind preoccupied, Lily walked into the villa’s main hall with Emily Taylor and was immediately surrounded by several elegantly dressed socialites.
“Mrs. Lucas, you finally arrived… We’ve all been waiting for you!”
“Yeah, we were just saying that without Mrs. Lucas, this party would be so dull. Gosh, Mrs. Lucas, are you wearing a custom-made dress from Gardner’s latest season? I knew it! Only you could wear the latest dress from Gardner’s new season. Others would have to wait for half a year to wear it, but you can wear it in just a few days.”
Following Emily Taylor, Lily Gray found that Emily was the center of attention at the entire banquet.
Even the Master and Madam of the banquet seemed inferior when compared to her.
At this time, someone finally noticed Lily Gray standing next to Emily Taylor.
A noble lady noticed the dress Lily was wearing. Although the style was a bit outdated, the quality and craftsmanship were clearly from Garnder.
That lady naturally thought that Lily was a younger relative of Emily’s and kindly wanted to praise her: “Mrs. Lucas, you rarely bring young girls with you. This lady is quite well-behaved, always accompanying you by your side, so sensible… 1 wonder which family she’s from?”
“Oh, her…” Emily Taylor’s gaze flickered, seemingly unwilling to mention Lily Gray.
She had brought Lily Gray here at the suggestion of Emma Shaw.
One reason was to let Lily see the true upper class and let her feel ashamed enough to leave Aidan voluntarily.
The second reason was to arrange for the upcoming event.
Emma had already taken Angelina to the entrance to intercept people and as long as Aidan made a mistake and danced with Angelina, Lily, who came from a humble background, would definitely cause a scene in dissatisfaction.
By then, maybe because of this, Aidan would be annoyed and divorce her.
Of course, all this was privately discussed between Emma Shaw and Emily Taylor. At that time, Emily felt that it was a feasible plan but now… she suddenly regretted it.
Lily Gray was dressed so shabbily. When others asked about her identity, how should she explain it?
If she directly said that Lily was the daughter-in-law of the Lucas family, Emily felt that she would lose face.
Who would have thought that before she could figure out how to answer, a clear and pleasant voice came from beside her.
“Auntie, hello, I’m Aidan’s wife… Today, 1 came here to learn from my mother, and I didn’t expect to be so lucky to meet so many outstanding and beautiful ladies on my first visit. It’s truly my honor.”
Lily Gray’s back was straight, and her face was adorned with a well-placed smile as she interacted with the noble ladies and socialite ladies.
Like this, her original temperament was not affected by the outdated dress. On the contrary, the conservative and old-fashioned style made her originally somewhat charming face seem even more elegant and noble..
