Chapter 1004: Chapter 1007: The Taylors' Surprising Decision (Extra 3) Chapter 1004: Chapter 1007: The Taylors' Surprising Decision (Extra 3) Indeed, no sooner had the thought formed in her mind than she saw the man raise an eyebrow, conjuring a wicked smirk.
“Because he went back to B City early yesterday morning. I enrolled him in the Royal Military Academy's summer camp.”
“You–how could you…”
Lily was certain that Aidan Lucas had done it on purpose.
She had asked Ben Lucas before; Aidan Lucas hardly ever managed his study or life.
Ben Lucas was a child with a strong will and good organization; he could arrange his own affairs and did not like Aidan Lucas meddling.
“I'm his father; it's my responsibility to arrange his collective life.” The man's expression was cold as he spoke nonsense with a straight face.
“If you want to have a say in Ben's education and life, you can marry me and become Mrs. Lucas. As soon as you become Mrs. Lucas, legally, you are Ben's guardian and can exercise your rights as a mother.”
Hmm, Aidan Lucas's suggestion was tempting indeed.
However, Lily couldn't agree to it just yet; she had her own considerations.
“Hmm… let's talk about this later; I'm not ready yet.”
The woman once again avoided the question, but the man was not in a hurry; he held her, trapping her in his embrace.
After all, she could only be his.
He didn't believe she could extract herself from his grasp.
“By the way… what about The Taylors? How are things with The Taylors? Has your uncle made arrangements for Milly Gray and Rowena Gray?”
So much time had passed; there must be a result from The Taylors by now.
Aidan Lucas frowned slightly, disliking discussing such disheartening matters in bed.
Yet, since the woman wanted to know, he patiently told her.
It turned out that the old lady had fallen ill and never recovered after being rushed to the hospital that night.
The rest of The Taylors were dispersed, not allowed to wait outside the ward.
Only Simon Taylor, Dominic Taylor, and Emily Taylor, the core members of The Taylors, remained to discuss and come to a decision.
“I've already returned Rowena Gray to them, and I heard… she will die of her illness soon.”
“Die of illness? Are they…” silencing someone permanently.
Lily could guess that the outcome for Rowena Gray and Milly Gray might not be good, but she hadn't expected it to be so direct.
“Yes.” The man nodded. Even when speaking of death, his icy eyes didn't show the slightest ripple of emotion.
“However, Milly Gray will not die of illness. In eight months, she will marry my uncle.”
“Marry… Simon Taylor?” Lily's eyes widened in disbelief.
What was The Taylors thinking, to accept Milly Gray at this time?
And with this move, Simon Taylor was marrying the daughter of his ex-wife after her death. What was he trying to do?
Even if he concealed the truth well, outsiders would still gossip about The Taylors.
Moreover, Milly Gray was not foolish.
If they killed Rowena Gray, would Milly Gray willingly watch them kill her own mother?
Aidan Lucas saw right through her thoughts, the corners of his lips curling with a hint of coldness.
“Lily, don't underestimate human greed. What of mother and daughter? You might not know, but this proposal was actually Milly Gray's idea.”
In order to protect herself, Milly Gray had to eliminate Rowena Gray.
If Rowena Gray were around, she would always be the product of an incestuous relationship, always be the stepdaughter of Simon Taylor.
But if Rowena Gray were no longer there…
Originally, Simon Taylor only wanted to send Rowena Gray away, but because Milly Gray said that only the dead can keep a secret forever, Simon Taylor was persuaded.
“Milly Gray… it was actually her idea.”
Terrifying, truly terrifying.
