Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 767: Chapter 770: News about Aidan Lucas (Additional 4)

“Baby, if you don’t want to deal with the Ford family, how about Daddy helps you deal with Bella Scott and that adoptive daughter separately?”

In order to gain his daughter’s favor, Duke Redington has been doing everything he can lately.

If it were in the past, he would still have to worry about Mr. Scott and Sylvia Scott’s father’s feelings.

Now, since the Ford family has swapped the child and hid it privately, he, Duke Redington, should have a good reason to avenge his daughter.

This time, even if Mason Scott complains to Mr. Scott, he won’t back down.

Lily Gray shook her head after hearing his words.

“No need, I’ve said it before, I have no interest in revenge. Daddy, instead of talking about this with me, tell me about what’s happening in Eastonia. The things I asked you to inquire about Ethan Wilson and Ben Lucas, how have they been lately?”

When she recognized her parents, she clearly knew that she and Aidan Lucas could never go back.

If she wasn’t Duke Redington’s daughter or Larry Scott’s biological niece, maybe she could still turn back.

But now, it’s all too late.

However, even so, she still can’t help but want to know more about Eastonia.

She wants to know more about Ethan Wilson and Ben Lucas.

She hopes they are safe and healthy on the other side of the ocean.

Duke Redington’s expression darkened when he heard her words.

A hint of solemnity crawled into his deep blue eyes.

He wasn’t willing to tell his baby the news, so he just silently signaled David Redington with his eyes.

David, upon receiving his father’s gaze, also lowered his face.

Duke Redington didn’t want to say it, and neither did he.

Lily Gray naturally wouldn’t miss the eye contact between the father and son. She’s no fool. She immediately understood that there must be some bad news from Eastonia.

“David, tell me.” She is not used to calling David “brother” yet, and still calls him by his name for now.

Being called out by Lily, David’s eyes flickered and showed a hint of difficulty.

Duke Redington was relieved to hear Lily’s demanding tone. Thankfully, she didn’t ask him to speak.

“Don’t lie to me; tell the truth!” she warned.

David knew he couldn’t escape, so he took a deep breath, sat next to Lily Gray, and held her in his arms.

“What are you doing?” Lily Gray looked up at him, but was held down by his big hand.

He rubbed her head and pressed her little head onto his shoulder.

“Brother will tell you; something did happen in Eastonia. You… just listen; no need to look up.” David did this for a reason.

Lily Gray didn’t understand, but she was eager to hear the news from Eastonia. So, she obediently nestled in his arm, not raising her head.

David calmed his mind and said in as calm a tone as possible, “A year ago, the Lucas family had a conflict with the Presidential Palace. Later, it involved Aidan Lucas’s birth father, and people outside came to know that Aidan’s father, the previous head of the family, was not dead. Then, Theodore Lucas rallied the old faction’s power within the family and suppressed Aidan Lucas.”

“The two sides fought for a long time. Basically, Aidan Lucas has been at an advantage. Until two weeks ago, President Rodney Rhodes suddenly died at home. His widow accused Aidan Lucas of poisoning him.”

“What? What about Ethan Wilson? ” Lily Gray wanted to raise her head but was pushed back down by David.

He said softly, “Don’t worry. Listen to me.”

“Aidan Lucas didn’t accept the accusations and continued doing whatever he wanted. Until a week ago, Miss Lucas’s car suddenly exploded while traveling. She was killed in the explosion, and even her bones couldn’t be found. At that point, Aidan Lucas bit the bullet and declared that this was the Stone family’s and the President’s widow’s malicious retaliation.”

“At the same time, the forensic report came out, confirming that the President did not die from poisoning. He died because of taking too many aphrodisiacs and indulging in his desires.”

“With this, the whole country was in an uproar, and Aidan Lucas’s victory can be considered beautiful. However, Lily, since then, Aidan Lucas has claimed to the outside world that he is currently… a single widower.”
