Chapter 384 - 387: The Gray Family’s Mother and Daughter Ran Away Crestfallen
Anya was the shopping mall’s executive vice president, so her words carried weight, and the store manager immediately nodded, “Yes, we’ll close the store right away.”
“What? Close the store?” Rowena Gray was suddenly anxious upon hearing this.
“On what grounds are you closing the store? I am a VIP customer of this store! How can you kick me out?”
“Miss Gray, please don’t make it difficult for us. That person is the executive vice president of Windstead Square, and if she orders us to close the store, we must comply. Miss Gray, please leave as soon as possible!”
Taking into account that Rowena Gray was an old customer of the brand, the manager was already doing her a favor by saying this.
“No, I won’t leave! So what if she’s the executive vice president? She’s here with Lily Gray, isn’t she? Lily Gray is my niece, and I’m her biological aunt, so you can’t kick me out!”
“But Miss Gray, Mrs. Lucas said that she is not familiar with you… You’d better not…”
” What do you mean not familiar? No niece treats her aunt like this! Milly, go over there and stop that despicable woman, Lily Gray!”
Rowena Gray was being blocked by the manager and could not get past, so she directed Milly who was standing nearby.
Milly was about to follow her orders and stop Lily Gray when suddenly her collar was grabbed by someone.
The next thing she knew, she was suspended in the air.
In the blink of an eye, she was grabbed by the back of her collar and thrown out.
“Alt-”
A shrill scream rang out in the store.
The jewelry store’s floor was covered in shiny marble tiles.
Milly slid across the marble floor, only coming to a staggering halt after crashing into a row of counters.
“Milly! How dare you… you…”
Rowena Gray screeched, turning around to confront the person responsible.
But as she turned around and saw who was standing behind her – two burly men in black towering over her at over six feet tall – she couldn’t utter a word.
“You… I… We’ll leave right away, right away!”
She recognized these men in black.
After witnessing the gruesome scene of Gray family relatives being injured at the courthouse last time, she, Madam Gray, and Milly could not help but be terrified whenever they saw such burly men in black.
They were absolutely not people they dared to mess with.
Damn, they did not notice them just now.
When on earth had these dreadful figures crept in as well!
Rowena Gray supported a wobbly Milly, and the two of them stumbled away without looking back.
They didn’t dare to curse or make trouble anymore, nor did they dare to seek justice from Lily Gray. They left with their tails between their legs as if there was a ghost chasing them.
The other guests in the store also didn’t dare to linger any longer. After watching the spectacle, they hurriedly left.
It wasn’t until Rowena Gray and Milly were far away that the two burly men in black turned around and emotionlessly looked at the store manager whose legs had gone weak from fright.
“Alright, now close the store.”

Eventually, Lily Gray chose a pair of pearl and diamond earrings worth around four million, as a birthday gift for Ella Reed.
The earrings were placed in an exquisitely packaged gift box.
She even added a small card inside, writing her and Skye Brown’s birthday greetings on it.
After finishing the gift, it was almost time for the appointment, and Lily Gray said goodbye to Anya and had the driver take her to Splendor Garden.
Splendor Garden was a well-known leisure club in A City.
Not many old-moneyed individuals frequented this place, but some nouveau riche and entertainment circle celebrities liked to hold various parties here.
As soon as Lily Gray arrived, Skye Brown, who had received a text message in advance, came to greet her.
