“Impossible, my daddy would never sign that kind of I.O.U.!” Lily Gray unconsciously grabbed Aidan Lucas’s hand, her emotions running high.
Aidan pulled her head into his chest, gently soothing her, “Don’t worry, they won’t get away with it.”
His cold eyes swept over the self-satisfied Gray family members, the corner of his mouth revealing a hint of chilliness.
Lily had seen few of these tactics, but he had seen many in the business world.
Originally, he had no plans to interfere in the Gray family’s affairs. At most, he would only help Lily retrieve the rightful family property they had agreed upon.
But now…
After sweeping his icy gaze over the three people sitting opposite, the man suddenly changed his mind.
Since they wanted to play, he would personally step in and play big with them.
Aidan suddenly stood up and picked up the little woman sitting next to him in a horizontal hold.
“Aidan… what are you… doing…” Lily was startled, instinctively hooking her arms around his neck to prevent falling.
Carrying her, he ignored the others in the room and walked toward the door. No one dared to stop him, not even the high-ranking judge, who didn’t dare utter a word after seeing his face.
“Taking you home,” he said flatly.
“What home? We’re still in court…”
Lily was almost in tears, certain that the I.O.U. her grandmother had presented was a forgery. Her father valued the Gray family’s business too much; even in difficult times, he would never have used 20% of the Gray’s shares as collateral.
“Behave, follow your husband home,” Aidan didn’t give her a chance to speak, striding out with her in his arms.
“But…”
“Don’t worry, this lawsuit has lost its meaning. Since they want to play, let’s play big with them.” Aidan looked down at her, his face full of indulgence, “Just listen, your husband guarantees to help you get back the Gray’s shares.”
Lily Gray:”…”
Although she didn’t want to admit it, she seemed to be electrified by Aidan’s tender gaze and gentle words.
Lily couldn’t understand what Aidan was thinking, but at this moment, she inexplicably trusted him.
She stopped making a fuss and obediently snuggled in his embrace.
Both hands wrapped around his neck, nuzzling her face into his neck.
The sweet atmosphere between the two was strikingly discordant in the solemn courtroom.
Seeing Mr. Lucas carrying his charming wife away, Mr. Fenton sighed.
Having followed Mr. Lucas for many years, he easily understood his tactics.
Looking at the self-satisfied Gray family members opposite, his heart suddenly felt a touch of pity.
Alas, what a pitiful bunch!
They probably didn’t know that a dozing lion was not the most terrifying.
Rather, a lion with aroused interest was the truly frightening predator.

After the end of the first trial, the Gray family thought that even with decisive “evidence,” it would take months to win the lawsuit.
Who would have guessed that after the first trial, Lily would withdraw.
Madam Gray and Rowena Gray were all smiles, thinking they had won the lawsuit so easily. On the way back, they kept making fun of Lily.
On the other hand, Milly Gray’s heart was tied to Aidan Lucas, sitting in the back seat, sullen and unhappy.
In the end, Madam Gray and Rowena Gray’s jubilation didn’t last until they returned home. A phone call broke their happiness.
“What? The company’s stock price has plummeted, and now it has dropped 20%?!”
