Chapter 692: Chapter 695: If I Divorce Aidan Lucas
“How to help him…”
Madam Lucas pondered Lily Gray’s words, her face calm, yet a fierce struggle was taking place within her heart.
Before she returned here, she just had a talk with Larry Scott.
Such a conversation was not the first.
A few years ago, when rumors swirled about Aidan Lucas and Hannah Ford, Larry Scott made such a call.
At that time, Larry Scott stated explicitly that if the Lucas family wanted to marry the Ford family’s daughter, he would not let the matter rest.
At that time, Madam Lucas never liked Hannah Ford, and immediately promised Larry Scott without hesitation.
She even forced Aidan Lucas to send Hannah Ford to M Country, and put pressure on outsiders not to spread rumors about the two of them.
But now, it is entirely different from then.
Lily married Ethan, and they even have a son, Ben.
They knew nothing about Lily’s background then.
Even now, when they know, Lily Gray and Hannah Ford are completely different individuals.
She could immediately agree to Larry Scott’s terms and drive Hannah Ford away.
But she just can’t do it to Lily Gray…
Madam Lucas closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
A few seconds later, she opened her eyes, and gazed at Lily Gray’s clear eyes with her own, which had become blurry due to age, but a flash of determination finally emerged.
“Lily, you want to help Ethan, don’t you? Fine, I’ll tell you now how to do it,” she stated.
Upon hearing those words, Lily Gray’s back straightened and her gaze became serious.
With a leisurely pace, Madam Gray relayed the old grudges between Larry Scott and the Ford family and the conditions proposed by Larry Scott to Lily Gray.
“Your biological mother, Bella Scott, seemingly offended Larry Scott and his sister, Sylvia Scott for some reason. But with Mason Scott looking out for Bella, even if they wanted to retaliate, they have always been restrained due to their father. Over the years, Bella has rarely interacted with the Scott family, apparently due to instructions from Larry and Sylvia.”
“We, as outsiders, do not know what exactly happened. But now, it’s clear that since they could not do anything to Bella, they decided to target you instead.”
“Larry Scott is the eldest son of the Scott family, holding an important position in the military. Theodore Lucas has always lacked support from the military. If Larry Scott helps them, it will definitely be a formidable opponent for Ethan. Even now, the Scott family just slightly favors that unfilial son, Theodore, and Ethan is already feeling the pressure. If they really go all out in their cooperation, even if Ethan wins in the end, I think… the Lucas family will suffer heavy losses.”
Lily Gray initially thought that the Lucas family’s crisis mainly came from that man, Theodore Lucas.
But after listening to Madam Lucas’s words, she realized that the instigator of the crisis facing the Lucas family and the pressure on Aidan Lucas actually originated from her own identity.
“Grandma, if I divorce Ethan, would that help him?” Lily Gray’s voice trembled.
How could she possibly let go of Aidan Lucas, how could she bear to…
But when the old lady explained all these to her, she could not help but wonder if that was what Madam Lucas meant.
If she can know the difficulties and retreat, show her weakness, and satisfy the Scott family, would that help Ethan?
Thinking of the Scott family, Lily Gray’s bright peach blossom eyes dimmed somewhat.
She always thought that finding her family would make her life complete.
But she never imagined that all the tragedies would actually start from finding her family.
The influential military higher-up named Larry Scott.
By relation, he is, in fact, her half-uncle…
