Chapter 120 - 123:I Hate That Woman Named Lily Gray
Lily Gray deliberately ignored Joan Wellington’s rudeness and reached out her hand to her.
But Joan Wellington blatantly ignored Lily Gray’s extended hand and clung to Aidan Lucas’s arm affectionately.
“Brother Ethan, when did you get married? You didn’t even have a wedding! 1 don’t believe it, such a big event like your marriage, and 1 didn’t know anything about it, and Auntie never mentioned it… You must be lying to me, right!?”
Joan Wellington’s innocent and cute appearance was naturally suited for acting spoiled.
When she clung to Aidan Lucas like this, it didn’t look annoying, but rather, quite charming and naive.
However, Aidan Lucas didn’t seem to be very into her act. His gaze fell on Lily Gray’s small extended palm.
His cold eyes slightly darkened, and then he smoothly pulled out the arm held by Joan Wellington, reaching out to grab Lily Gray’s.
He held her soft, small hand in his.
“Do you think I would joke about something like this? There’s no time for a wedding right now… Lily and I have something to discuss, you wait outside first.”
“No… Brother Ethan, don’t leave me.” Joan Wellington saw Aidan Lucas taking Lily Gray into his office and immediately grabbed his other arm. “Brother Ethan, you promised to spend time with me tonight!”
“Stop causing a commotion; I’ll treat you to dinner after we’re done talking. Just sit with Samuel Mckinley for a while outside, we’ll be quick.” Having said that, he ruffled Joan Wellington’s head and, without giving her any more chances, led Lily Gray into his office.
The office door was shut and locked from the inside.
Joan Wellington, Samuel Mckinley, and Elsa Collins were all isolated outside.
Seeing the door closed, Joan Wellington stomped her foot in anger. “Annoying, annoying… Brother Ethan is as annoying as my brother!”
With Joan Wellington throwing a temper tantrum, Samuel Mckinley and Elsa Collins naturally tried to comfort her.
Both of them knew Joan Wellington’s identity: the daughter of the wealthy Wellington family, and the younger sister of Aidan Lucas’s best friend, Dylan Wellington. The Lucas and Wellington families had been close for generations, maintaining an intimate relationship and frequently conducting business together.
Aidan Lucas had grown up with the Wellington siblings, so treating Joan like a little sister wasn’t an exaggeration.
However, Joan Wellington had been studying abroad recently and hadn’t come back home, so it was a surprise that she had returned today.
“Samuel!” She pouted at Samuel Mckinley. “Tell me the truth… Did Brother Ethan really marry that woman just now?”
Her petite frame and innocent face made it hard for anyone to reject her.
Joan Wellington was a cute and delicate girl with the charm of the girl-next-door.
When she pouted and stared with those big eyes, it was hard for anyone to resist her request.
Samuel Mckinley swallowed and suddenly felt a great deal of pressure.
He knew about the agreement between Mr. Lucas and Miss Gray, but that matter obviously couldn’t be shared with Miss Wellington.
But Miss Wellington’s current expression…
Sigh!
“Miss Wellington, I’m not in a position to comment on Mr. Lucas’s private affairs. Please sit down for a moment, and I’ll get you a drink.” Samuel Mckinley slipped away quickly.
Maggie the secretary had just found out about Lily Gray’s identity and was shocked, needing to return to the secretary’s office to settle herself.
Seeing them both avoiding her, Joan Wellington was even more unhappy.
She angrily sat down on the sofa, determined to drive that woman away today and find an opportunity to ask Brother Ethan alone about this matter.
Thinking about the possibility that Brother Ethan had really married that woman named Lily Gray, a shadow crept into Joan Wellington’s innocent eyes.
Damn woman…
When she first heard the news overseas, she took it as a rumor.
But even if she didn’t believe it, she immediately booked the earliest flight back to her country.
She didn’t expect that the woman named Lily Gray really existed.
Joan Wellington’s naturally upturned lips pressed into a straight line…
She wouldn’t forget how, just a moment ago, Brother Ethan had let go of her hand to hold that woman’s instead.
Annoying, annoying…. She hated that woman named Lily Gray to death!
