Chapter 1015: Chapter 1018: I Want You to Give Up the Gray Family! Chapter 1015: Chapter 1018: I Want You to Give Up the Gray Family! Lily had oversimplified her perception of Aidan Lucas.
Aidan Lucas did indeed feel a tinge of jealousy.
After all, Lily was his woman, and even if she had bought half of the shares from Oliver Ford, it was clear that Oliver Ford was giving Lily an advantage.
Being a man of extremely strong possessiveness, it was inevitable for Aidan Lucas to be jealous.
But he was also indirectly probing.
When he guessed and confirmed that Lily Redington was indeed Lily Gray, he already knew about the connection between the Gray family and Lily.
However, just like Emily Taylor and others, Aidan Lucas only knew that Lily was a child of the Ford family who refused to acknowledge her due to her being an illegitimate daughter.
He was unaware of the experiences Lily encountered after her arrival in Europe.
Today, he had deliberately mentioned it twice, once as 'Lily Gray' and once as 'the Ford family's eldest young master'.
Aidan Lucas knew that Lily was intentionally concealing her identity.
He wouldn't force her, he only hoped she would volunteer the truth to him.
But how could Lily dare to speak up?
She could only skirt around the topic, “What favors to return, our dealings are strictly business. I don't care, I have shares in Bastion, and also in the Gray family. Now that you helm Bastion, I can just comfortably wait for the year-end dividends. But with Rowena Gray causing chaos in the Gray family, it must rely on the big ship of Bastion to reach the shore safely.”
Originally, Oliver Ford established Bastion to protect and assist the Gray family.
In Eastonia, although the Gray family was not a small enterprise, it wasn't considered a large company either.
After their foundation was weakened in the past, it has taken four years for them to start showing some improvement.
But in the end, the scale was still too small.
Especially after Aidan Lucas acquired Bastion, the Gray family's external support significantly diminished, and with Rowena Gray undermining it from within, it looked set to face a crisis like the one before.
Fortunately, Lily had returned at this time and had taken over the Gray family again.
With the powerful backing of Redington Group's funds, the Gray family no longer feared the danger of a broken capital chain. However, having money was not enough, in Eastonia's entertainment circle, success required strong industry resources.
Therefore, she needed to find Aidan Lucas and reveal her identity as a shareholder in Bastion.
“You want to cut a share for the Gray family from Bastion?” The man hooked her chin with his fingertip as he leaned down.
This time, his thin lips were pressed against hers.
Such an intimate distance paradoxically made Lily feel that danger was drawing closer and closer.
With a bold heart, she said, “Mhm, it was like that in the past. Is that not possible?”
The depth in the man's eyes darkened.
The foolish woman had revealed her trump card without even knowing it.
Talking about doing business with Oliver Ford as if it was strictly business — if it were really just business, how could Oliver Ford be willing to use the big ship of Bastion to tow the small boat of the Gray family?
Clearly, Oliver Ford was deliberately helping her.
It seemed that the Ford family was not entirely without merit.
Although he didn't like other men being good to Lily, Oliver Ford, as a brother, was at least qualify.
Barely concealing his jealousy, he coldly said, “No. A small enterprise like the Gray family is nothing but a burden. Lily if you like, I can give you many other better companies. But as for the Gray family, you should let it go as soon as possible.”
“What? You want me to give up the Gray family!” Lily instantly tried to sit up from the table.
But Aidan Lucas's entire body was pressing down on her, making it impossible for her to get up.
Annoyed, she pushed at him with both hands, “Get off, what gives you the right to tell me to give up the Gray family?”
The somewhat amorous atmosphere from just moments ago was thus shattered.
Lily, filled with confusion and anger, glared at him with widened eyes!
