Chapter 1195: Chapter 1198: Receiving Important News Chapter 1195: Chapter 1198: Receiving Important News “Yes. Milly Gray explained that her husband, Simon Taylor, is now allied with Theodore Lucas and is currently handling matters for him.”
Erina shared the results of her interrogation with Lily.
It was only then that Lily realized the reason Mason Scott had been tricked was precisely because Simon Taylor had been acting as the intermediary, arranging things on behalf of Nolan Lucas.
The uncle of Aidan Lucas, such a prestigious business card.
Had it been anyone else, they likely would have been similarly deceived.
However, Lily could never have imagined that Simon Taylor, as Emily Taylor's own brother and Aidan Lucas's uncle, once a man who had cursed Theodore Lucas to his face, had now turned coat and joined Theodore's side.
“No wonder this has happened… Erina, I also have some important information on my side, which when combined with what Hannah Ford confessed, becomes very significant. Thank you, Erina, you've been a huge help to me.”
Theodore Lucas, Frank Chamberlain, and Simon Taylor had somehow formed an alliance behind the scenes without anyone realizing it.
Lily knew this was extremely important news for Aidan Lucas.
She needed to tell Aidan Lucas immediately.
“And that's not all.” Erina had more to say, “Besides that matter, Milly Gray couldn't withstand the interrogation and confessed something else.”
“Lily, you should really look it up online. A female celebrity called Lily Gray has become very popular online recently, and that woman seems to be Aidan Lucas's wife.”
Erina was particularly concerned about Lily's affair; Lily had helped her in the past and had disclosed her own identity to her.
She feared Lily might get hurt but also worried that keeping Lily in the dark could lead to even greater harm, so after careful consideration, she had decided to reveal the truth to her.
“Lily Gray…?” Lily was taken aback for a moment, suddenly recalling the woman she had bumped into at the Royal Academy.
“Yes, Lily Gray.”
Unaware of Lily's former name, Erina continued on her own terms, “Milly said that she is Aidan Lucas's wife. I checked, and it's true. Moreover, in the past few days, there has been a sudden surge of speculation about her identity online, and some have even reported her relationship with Aidan Lucas.”
“Lily, I have seen her, and that woman… she looks a lot like you. I… I think you should ask Aidan Lucas about it, just to be cautious…”
Martha Barnes did not relay Milly Gray's words verbatim; in fact, Milly originally said, 'Lily Redington is just a substitute. The woman Aidan Lucas truly loves is Lily Gray. Once Lily Gray returns, Lily Redington will have to step aside.'
Though Erina didn't spell it out, Lily understood clearly.
She smiled, “Thank you, Erina, I've got it. Don't worry, I know what to do.”
If she were only Lily Redington, perhaps she would indeed be anxious and flustered at this moment.
But she was not just Lily Redington; she was also Lily Gray, so there was no need to fear anyone.
As for the woman who looked like her…
Lily thought it was about time to have someone investigate the woman's identity.

After ending the call, Lily first tried to contact Aidan Lucas.
But Aidan Lucas had turned off his phone.
It was now just past four o'clock in the afternoon, and a few hours had passed since they parted at the Royal Academy.
Where had Aidan Lucas gone, and why had he turned off his phone?
A faint sense of concern crept into Lily's heart, but after a brief reflection, she felt she might be overthinking it.
He was Aidan Lucas; how could anything happen to him?
Such needless worry.
With that thought, Lily decided to call Larry Scott.
Upon learning he was at home, Lily resolved to make a visit in person to tell Larry Scott about Tania Scott's situation.
Those words weren't suitable for discussion over the phone.
