Chapter 201 - 204: Aidan Lucas Wants to Leave
“Lily, how did it go? What did Director Williams say?” Lena Hammond had just hung up the phone on her end.
Due to the recent setbacks of the Gray family, the public relations department didn’t have any reliable personnel at this critical moment.
Lena had just personally called Twitter to request a suppression of the trending topic.
“No use, Director Williams is determined to quit. No one will be willing to take over the project at this crucial moment.”
Lena frowned upon hearing this, “The situation on Twitter is the same. We don’t know who’s behind Vivian Walters. Even if we pay, the trending topic won’t be suppressed.”
“Forget it, Lena. Vivian Walters is clearly well-prepared… Now, the internet is full of sympathy for her. Some people even say she’s courageous. This publicity stunt not only made her famous but also gained her quite a few fans.”
“She’s desperate for fame and treating our company as a stepping stone… Lily, we can’t let her continue to manipulate. The Gray family is gravely hurt right now. This project is crucial for us to turn things around. If this project fails, the Gray family might never recover!”
Following the release of this news, not only did the director flee, but a group of actors led by Vivian Walters also collectively quit the project.
Now, only a few newcomers who are relatively honest and reliable are left in the crew. The male and female leads, as well as several important supporting roles, took advantage of this event to stir up publicity.
Lena even received information that these people were planning a press conference to collectively attack the Gray family.
Vivian Walters would also take the opportunity to leave the Gray family and establish her own agency.
“Lena, please help me watch over the company… As for Vivian Walters’ matter, I’ll find a solution. Don’t worry, 1 won’t let the Gray family collapse.”
Lily Gray was not someone who would give up easily.
She didn’t know why Vivian Walters targeted her, but now was not the time to worry about that.
She had vague ideas in her mind, but she didn’t know if they would be successful.

On the other hand, Aidan Lucas was on his way to the airport.
Lily Gray’s cell phone was busy, and he could only frown and hang up after several attempts.
Since that night, their relationship seemed to have subtly changed.
It seemed to have warmed up, but the woman was clearly feeling shy.
She went to bed early these past two nights, and when he returned to the bedroom after being busy, he would only see the delicate woman nestled in the blanket, sleeping sweetly.
He knew she was avoiding him.
When she was asleep, she wouldn’t be afraid of what he might do.
Thinking of her pitiful bunny-like appearance, Aidan Lucas sitting in the back seat couldn’t help but chuckle lightly.
Samuel Mckinley, sitting in the front seat, naturally assumed that Mr. Lucas’ good mood was because of Miss Ford.
“Mr. Lucas, the experts in M Country have already been contacted. By the time you arrive, everything should be arranged.”
“Hmm, make it quick.” Aidan Lucas nodded coldly.
A trace of doubt crossed Samuel Mckinley’s mind.
In the past, Mr. Lucas would have inquired about Miss Ford’s matters in great detail.
Why was it that this time… he only gave such brief instructions?
Aidan Lucas sat in the back seat, frequently unlocking and re-locking his cell phone.
Samuel Mckinley saw the man’s actions through the rearview mirror but didn’t know he was waiting for Lily Gray’s call back.
He thought that Mr. Lucas was anxious for Miss Ford and was growing impatient.
So, he took the initiative to say, “Mr. Lucas, please rest assured, the private jet has already been arranged. As soon as you arrive at the airport, you can take off immediately. Everything is normal on Miss Ford’s side. The latest news we received is that Miss Ford’s condition is very good, so there is no need for you to worry.”
Aidan Lucas absentmindedly responded with a “Hmmm” as his deep eyes gazed out of the window, lost in thought..
