People around were whispering and pointing at the female in black.

Everyone thought that Austin Lucas was bold enough to bring his new lover to Madam Lucas’ birthday banquet. Upon closer inspection, they realized that the person was actually his sister, Zara Lucas.

Dressed so seductive, Zara wore an exposed black dress that third-rate actresses often used to grab attention. This made people around shake their heads.

Is this woman sick, wearing this to Madam Lucas’ birthday banquet? Does she think this is one of those murky places outside?

“Today is Madam Lucas’ birthday, of course 1 have to come early.” Lily Gray sneered at Zara Lucas and then responded to Austin Lucas with a faint smile.

Even if she was upset, she would not confront Austin Lucas in public. It wasn’t that she didn’t dare, but she didn’t want to. This was Madam Lucas’ birthday banquet, and she couldn’t ruin her mood because of her own feelings.

If there was something to say, she would tell Madam Lucas after the banquet was over.

Austin Lucas laughed upon hearing this: “I knew you would be the most filial one and come early. Grandma… today is your birthday, and Lily and I have come to wish you a happy one. Oh right, this is my sister Zara, this is my mother… After the brief meeting at the wedding of Lily and me last time, they have been eager to see you again to admire your grace. They are truly fortunate to see you again.”

Austin Lucas did not feel any embarrassment in uttering these flattering words and took advantage of Lily Gray’s presence to bring the scantily clad Zara Lucas and the vulgar Michelle Carter to Madam Lucas.

Although Madam Lucas had a good impression of Austin Lucas, she had no regard for the annoying mother and daughter.

This time, Madam Lucas only uttered a few words for Lily Gray’s sake. As soon as other people came to wish her a happy birthday, she dismissed them all.

Lily Gray wanted to say more with Madam Lucas, but Austin Lucas seized her wrist. No matter how she tried to break free, she couldn’t.

She couldn’t afford to confront Austin Lucas in front of Madam Lucas and had to bear it temporarily. She would wait for an opportunity in the latter part of the banquet.

At this moment, she was led out of the circle of people by Austin Lucas. As soon as she was out of the crowd, she forcibly pulled her almost red wrist back from Austin Lucas’ hand.

“Lily Gray, 1 didn’t expect… with your glasses removed, you actually look quite decent.” The two were standing in a corner of the banquet hall, while Michelle Carter and Zara Lucas were mingling with the other socialite ladies and didn’t care about them.

“Whether I look decent or not is none of Mr. Lucas’ concern.” Lily Gray didn’t want to waste words on an unfaithful man like Austin Lucas.

“Austin Lucas, let me make it clear now. Either we break up peacefully and go through a normal divorce procedure. That way, even if Madam Lucas finds out later, 1 will only say that our personalities did not match and leave it at that. Or, after the birthday banquet, I will go to Madam Lucas and lay everything out. By then, you and your greedy mother want to take the Gray family shares in my hands, you’ll have to see if Madam Lucas agrees or not.”

She was weak and powerless, but she had Madam Lucas’ love.

Now being driven to the edge of a cliff by Austin Lucas and his family, she had to use Madam Lucas to save herself.

“You… don’t be impulsive.” Austin Lucas’ face showed a panicked expression; “Let me think about it..”
