Chapter 227 - 230: Waiting for Ethan Wilson to Return
The police officer holding the necklace flipped it over and confirmed that the word “True Love” was engraved on the back.
There was an immediate uproar at the scene.
“The Lucas family is so wealthy, how could they steal someone else’s necklace?”
“What do you know… she’s from a branch of the Lucas family, not the main family. And I heard that this Miss Lucas is actually an illegitimate daughter… she grew up in a place of ill repute!”
“No wonder… but I am impressed by Miss Gray, she’s different from the rumors.”
“I think so too, it was said that she was kicked out of the house for betraying Mr. Lucas, but now it seems… there’s more to this than meets the eye!”
“Yes, that necklace looks very valuable, and it’s a gift from the deceased mother. Even if they haven’t divorced, for Miss Lucas to wear this around her neck… it’s so embarrassing!”
People couldn’t help but criticize the stinginess and meanness of the Lucas family, while some thought Lily Gray was too strong and merciless.
Lily Gray didn’t care what others said and insisted that Zara Lucas was the thief who stole her necklace.
With all the commotion at the door, someone went to notify Dylan Wellington inside.
By the time Dylan came out, the police had already left with Zara Lucas and Lily Gray.
Joan Wellington saw her brother and immediately ran over to him.
“Brother, Brother Ethan’s family branches are so disgraceful! They even stole Lily Gray’s mother’s relics, and they’ve lost all face for the Lucas family! Brother, you must help Lily Gray and not let them use their connections to suppress this.”
“Why should I help?” Dylan asked with a sarcastic smile.
His sister was really amusing.
A moment ago, she hated Lily Gray so much, and now she wanted him to help her.
“Aren’t you… don’t you like Lily Gray? This is your chance to show it, how can you not seize it?!”
Joan wouldn’t admit that she was actually worried about Lily Gray resisting the Lucas family’s power, so she deliberately said this.
“Who said 1 like her?” Dylan replied coldly.
“If you don’t like her, why did you invite her to dance the opening dance?”
“Dancing the opening dance isn’t because I like her.” Dylan curled his lips, a playful look in his eyes, “Don’t you think it would be fun?”
Joan didn’t understand what was fun about it and looked at Dylan puzzledly.
Dylan ruffled his sister’s hair and gave her a wicked smile.
“What do you think Ethan’s reaction will be when he sees the pictures of her dancing with me? Hannah Ford wants him to stay in M Country with her… but I just want to make him come back.”
“Brother, how could you do this!” Joan glared at Dylan angrily.
“Hannah finally found a suitable heart, and you’re going out of your way to… besides, 1 don’t think Ethan would abandon Hannah for Lily Gray!”
“Heh.” Dylan chuckled, “We’ll know when the time comes. Joan, do you dare to bet with me?”

At the police station, not only was Zara Lucas taken away.
Austin Lucas and Michelle Carter were also arrested.
Austin managed to stay calm, but he couldn’t handle Zara and Michelle, his two useless teammates.
They quickly confessed to hiding other stolen items that belonged to Lily Gray.
Although they were all jewelry and luxury brands, the total amount was not small.
If found guilty, even if Austin and Michelle could clear their names, Zara would have to serve at least a few years in prison..
