Chapter 542: Chapter 545: Heard About the Gossip of Lily Gray
“Heh…tell me, if Hannah Ford had died back then, who do you think Aidan Lucas would have believed was responsible?”
Framing someone else for murder has always been the best way to defeat a powerful enemy without shedding blood.
Evelyn Lucas’s eyes filled with admiration, “Mom, this plan is brilliant!”
Upon hearing this, Tara Hammond smiled proudly.
“Hmph, of course it is. As long as we do this, we can sit back and watch Skye Brown and Aidan Lucas tear each other apart. By the time they’re finished, the disintegrated Lucas family will be easy pickings for your dad and brother!”

Meanwhile, at another location.
In a luxurious condominium in downtown A City.
“Mom, what should I do… Mr. Brown hasn’t contacted me for a few days now. Do you think he’s lost interest in me?”
Milly Gray, looking distraught, sat down next to Rowena Gray, her face full of anguish and helplessness.
All of her previous admirers had distanced themselves from her after that banquet, fearing reprisal from the Lucas family.
Even her most ardent admirer, Mr. Brown, hadn’t contacted her for several days.
“What’s the use of Mr. Brown liking you if his father is against it?”
Rowena Gray also sighed in frustration. “Any family that wants to stay in A City wouldn’t dare associate with you anymore. Aidan Lucas’s move was really ruthless, cutting off all our resources!”
Not only did Milly’s suitors disappear overnight, but even Rowena’s original connections had severed ties with them after learning they had offended the Lucas family.
Rowena Gray had already experienced investment failures, and now, without her connections, they had almost nothing left other than the condominium.
If they couldn’t find a new way to make money soon, Rowena and Milly, who were used to living in luxury, would have to move to an ordinary neighborhood.
That was definitely not the life they wanted!
“Speaking of which, it’s all that bitch Lily Gray’s fault! If it weren’t for her, how would we have ended up like this!” Rowena Gray complained angrily.
Milly also chimed in: “Yeah, it’s all her fault! Humph, a woman with such a vicious mind like her deserves the retribution she’s getting now! Mom, you haven’t been out recently, so you don’t know… Right now, all of A City is waiting to see Lily Gray’s humiliation!”
Lately, Milly had been racking her brain, trying to ingratiate herself with the circle of rich young men.
As a result, she had heard quite a few rumors about Lily Gray.
“Humiliation…” Rowena Gray frowned. “Milly, what exactly did you hear outside?”
“Mom, let me tell you, it’s like this…”

That day, Lily Gray had just finished her prenatal checkup and was returning from outside.
Skye Brown had specifically taken the day off to accompany her to the checkup.
Their car had just pulled up outside the Gray family villa when they were stopped by two familiar figures.
Upon seeing the people blocking the car, Skye frowned, “Rowena Gray and Milly Gray… How dare they show their faces here?!”
Lily glanced at the figures in front of her and, as expected, didn’t see Madam Gray.
It seemed that ever since Sonya Hamilton had suffered a stroke and been carried away, her health had deteriorated significantly.
Thinking this, Lily lowered her gaze, resting it on her already noticeable, five-month pregnant belly.
“Skye, have someone drive them away… I don’t want to see them.”
She still harbored a shred of familial affection for Madam Gray.
If Madam Gray were to pass away, Lily would make arrangements for her funeral as a member of the Gray family.
But as for Rowena and Milly…
Sorry, their fates had nothing to do with her.
