Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 449: Chapter 452 Unmasking the True Face of the Gray Family (1)

“Apologies for any embarrassment… Mrs. Lucas is a bit shy.”

A rare humorous comment from Aidan Lucas caused a suppressed chuckle among the guests.

“Some of my previous comments may have raised a few questions. So let me reiterate.”

His gaze suddenly became serious, and his voice deep and grave.

“The woman in my arms, Lily Gray, is my wife, my legally wedded spouse, the lady of the Lucas family. We got our marriage certificate three months ago. Due to various reasons, we initially chose a secret marriage.”

At this point, Aidan Lucas paused.

He tilted his head, his deep dark eyes cast in the direction of the second table.

“During this period of secret marriage, my wife and I saw the true colors of many people that we hadn’t seen clearly before.”

Aidan Lucas suddenly pointed in the direction of the second table.

“Let me introduce you to the distinguished guests at the second table. My wife’s maternal relatives — her grandmother Sonya Hamilton, her aunt Rowena Gray, and her cousin Milly Gray.”

As soon as his words fell, the men guarding the Gray family behind them, including Sebastian Lucas VII, stood up to restrain them.

“Mommy, why…”

Milly stood unsteadily, a look of injustice pooling in her eyes.

She came to replace Lily Gray, but the situation was nothing like her mother had told her.

Not only had Lily Gray not lost favor, but she had even become Mr. Lucas’s secret wife of three months.

If this is really the case, then what should she do next!?

“Don’t worry, let’s wait and see.”

Rowena Gray stood up with an unconcerned look, having already recovered from the initial shock.

Hearing Aidan Lucas introduce their identities, she felt not only uneasy but also somewhat smug deep down.

Heh…

So what if Lily became Mrs. Lucas, she still had to care about public opinion and evaluation.

Especially if she was the lady of a prominent family, like the Lucas family.

How could it be possible to allow a woman with no familial support, and at odds with her own grandmother and aunt, to take on such a position!

Hmph, she’s Lily’s aunt, and in the future, she’ll also be Aidan Lucas’s aunt.

Thinking of this, the smile on Rowena’s lips deepened.

“Sebastian, bring Madam Gray and her party over here.”

Aidan Lucas’s actions left Lily Gray confused.

She looked up at him, and Aidan Lucas gently patted her head, giving her a reassuring look.

With just one glance, she felt at ease again.

She nestled back into his arms and remained silent.

A moment later, Sebastian ushered Madam Gray, Rowena Gray, and Milly Gray into the center of the dance floor.

Under the public gaze, all three generations of the Gray family unwittingly raised their chins.

Especially Madam Gray, she seemed to have finally understood.

Her waste of a granddaughter had married Aidan Lucas.

In the future, no matter how much she detested herself, she would have to act obedient before others.

She, Sonya Hamilton, the grandmother of the waste granddaughter, was akin to being the grandmother of the lady of the Lucas family.

Even if Aidan Lucas was as dreadfully fearsome as he was, from now on, when he saw her, he would have to be respectful and filial.

Thinking of this, Madam Gray inadvertently showed a smug look.

Sadly, the smile on her lips hadn’t fully spread before the cold voice of Aidan Lucas punctured her bubble, echoing through the microphone.

“Let me introduce you all, this is Madam Gray, my wife’s biological grandmother. Under the circumstances where both of my wife’s parents passed away and she was alone and helpless, it was this Madam Gray, who drove my wife out of the Gray residence personally.”

“I… didn’t…,” the smile on Madam Gray’s lips froze.
