Chapter 251 - 254: Madam Gray is too bullying!
Lily Gray’s questions were met with silence among the reporters.
Not only the reporters, but also the onlookers present, as well as the audience watching the live stream online, couldn’t help but ask themselves.
If they were in her shoes, could they really do what Madam Gray did and carry out such a so-called “righteous act of sacrificing kin”?
Obviously, the answer is no.
Everyone is human, and no one is willing to use the name of “righteousness” to cast out their own children from their homes.
At this moment, a male reporter in the crowd stood up.
He spoke loudly in defense of Madam Gray, “Of course! You did wrong, Madam Gray’s act is righteous! I support her actions!”
That reporter was arranged by someone with ulterior motives, who had taken money and would naturally say anything.
He thought that by raising his voice, he could surely draw support from his peers.
Who knew that after he finished shouting, there was not a single reporter in the hall who stood up to respond to him.
The rest of the people looked at him with disdain and suspicion.
Lily Gray made a mental note of the reporter’s appearance and the credentials hanging on his chest, and said coldly, “If that’s the case, I can only feel sorry for your future children. When they face difficulties outside and return home, they won’t get a word of support from their family and will instead be cast out… What a sad thing.”
“I… That’s not what I meant.”
That reporter tried to explain, but Lily Gray didn’t give him the chance to speak and instead turned to look at Madam Gray.
“Madam Gray, as you can see… among all these people here, up until now, only one reporter stepped forward to support you. Isn’t it clear whether your decision was reasonable or not?”
When the matter came to a head, Sonya Hamilton still remained stubborn.
“Hmph, who knows if these people haven’t taken bribes from you! I, an old woman, have no money or power now, and you, the CEO of the Gray Group, are so prestigious now… Maybe you’ve bought off these reporters to be on your side!”
Madam Gray’s words provoked resentment among some of the reporters present.
Originally, they had come in response to the news, kindly listening to the old woman’s grievances.
Now she had turned the tables on them, no wonder she could even sell her own granddaughter.
Lily Gray sneered, “Hmph, I said, you’ve become more and more muddleheaded as you grow older. Just now, you admitted that you invited these reporters. The people you invited were bribed by me… This kind of argument truly fits your usual tactic of stirring up trouble and confusing black and white.”
“You… You unfilial descendant of the Gray family, how can you talk to your elder like that!”
Sonya Hamilton couldn’t take it anymore, she put both her hands on her hips, once again showing her elder’s authoritative attitude to suppress others.
“Elders… May I ask what kind of elder are you to me?” Lily Gray asked with a slight hook of her lips, not caring much.
She was no longer the Lily Gray of the past.
After spending so much time with Aidan Lucas, she had unconsciously acquired a touch of his coldness and arrogance.
Since Madam Gray brought people here today, it was a good opportunity for her to clarify things in front of so many people.
“Back then, you personally published an announcement in the newspaper, voluntarily severing our relationship. From that moment on, I was no longer your granddaughter.”
“And later, when the Gray Group was in crisis, the stocks you held became worthless, and you mortgaged the Gray family mansion along with the stocks to the bank, owing the bank one hundred fifty million dollars. Madam Gray, can you tell me who helped you pay off that debt?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole scene was in an uproar.
Even the reporters who came to interview were hearing for the first time that there was such a secret hidden in the power transition of the Gray Group.
One hundred fifty million… That was one hundred fifty million dollars!
How many sets of Gray family old houses could be bought with that kind of money!?
Everyone present, as long as they had a brain, immediately understood the reason why Lily Gray took back the Gray family mansion and drove Madam Gray away.
Madam Gray was truly taking things too far!
