Chapter 139 - 139: 142: Sever One of His Arms
He thought that after saying such words, Lily Gray would tremble and then shed her pitiful and disgusting tears as before.
However, the woman who once seemed shy and introverted in his memory, after hearing these words, did not humbly lower her head and sob softly, but instead raised her chin and boldly met his gaze with her bright, beautiful eyes.
“Austin Lucas…” she looked at him, her eyes filled with determination, “you are too full of yourself.”
Lily Gray faced his disgusted, cold gaze, her disdain even greater than his.
“If you really find me so disgusting that you don’t even want to touch my things, then why did you shamelessly snatch away 20% of the Gray family’s shares from me when we divorced? If you really had any backbone, you wouldn’t have married me just to avoid the status of being an illegitimate child! Austin Lucas, don’t claim to be so righteous. You’re not worthy!”
“You—” Austin Lucas was brutally slapped in the face by Lily Gray’s words.
His anger surged, and he raised his right hand to strike Lily Gray’s face.
A tall, dark shadow suddenly flashed from behind Lily Gray, directly grabbing Austin Lucas’s right hand.
In the next moment, Lily Gray heard a horrible scream. Austin Lucas’s right arm was suddenly dislocated by the person Ethan Wilson had sent to help her!
“Lily Gray, you…you actually dare to lay a hand on someone in the Lucas family!”
Large beads of sweat dripped from Austin Lucas’s forehead and his face contorted in pain.
He knew who these people were and was even more afraid of their formidable strength.
Thus, even though they had dislocated his arm, he dared not fight back against them, only venting his anger on Lily Gray.
“Austin Lucas, even your face is given to you by others. If you didn’t want to hit me first, they wouldn’t have done anything to you.” She was no longer the Lily Gray of the past, no longer affected by Austin Lucas’s scowl.
“Fine, you’re ruthless…” Austin Lucas leaned against the wall, realizing that with these four robust men in black guarding her, he would not get anything from Lily Gray today.
Originally, he had planned to humiliate her thoroughly, but now it seemed that he could only get the check and leave as soon as possible.
“If you want to pack up, do it quickly. When you’re done, remember to bring me the thing I want.” Austin Lucas said through gritted teeth, supporting his limp right arm.
Lily Gray didn’t want these four men to know about her private “deal” with Austin Lucas, so she could only ask them to help her pack the things in this room into boxes and give Austin Lucas a meaningful look, telling him to go outside.
With this bedroom being for her alone after they got married, almost everything inside it had been brought over from the Gray family.
“What do you want to do?” Austin Lucas followed her out, supporting his powerless right arm with his left hand. Although he really wanted Lily Gray to ask someone to help him put it back in place, he couldn’t bring himself to ask.
Lily Gray didn’t bother with small talk and directly took out the check from her bag, “Give me the thing you promised.”
Seeing the check, Austin Lucas’s eyes lit up. As he reached out to grab it, Lily Gray pulled her hand back.
“Give me what you promised first.” She believed that Austin Lucas would never leave her mother’s most important relic in the room for her to find.
As expected, Austin Lucas’s eyes dimmed for a moment, and then he took out a small dark blue box from his jacket pocket.
Lily Gray took the small blue box, opened it, and found an exquisitely crafted citrine necklace lying quietly inside.
Seeing the familiar necklace, a layer of tears welled up in her eyes.
Mother….
