BXBX NOVEL Chapter 38 - 41: Showing Her Authority as Soon as She Marries into the Family
Lily Gray could feel their disdain for her, but she couldn’t quarrel with the servants on her first day.
She could discipline the Gray family’s servants, but she couldn’t throw a tantrum in the Lucas family. If she argued with the servants on her first day, it would only make her look small-minded.
“Alright, I understand.” Not wanting to cause any trouble, Lily Gray entered the bathroom and closed the door.
Seeing Lily go in, one of the servants couldn’t help but scoff.
“Hmph, she’s just a plaything for Mr. Lucas, acting as if she’s some rich young lady!”
“Exactly, 1 thought we wouldn’t encounter such a woman at Blue Bay Estates. Sigh, it’s really bad luck to have to serve this unclean woman.”
The villas at Blue Bay Estates were where Aidan Lucas lived. Both the estate and old manor’s servants were considered veterans of the Lucas family.
These two servants had been working for the Lucas family for years and considered themselves more experienced than the others. In the past, Aidan never brought women back from outside, so they naturally put on a superior attitude towards Lily Gray.
They casually found a set of clothes for Lily according to their usual treatment and returned to her guest room, then went about their own chores unconcernedly.
As for what would happen to Lily afterwards, they didn’t care at all.
In any case, occasionally people sent women to Mr. Lucas. If he was in a good mood, perhaps they would stay for a day or two. If not, he would send them to his subordinates without even giving them a second glance.
In the bathroom, Lily removed her clothes and entered the bathtub filled with water.
Sliding into the warm water, her whole body relaxed. Letting out a deep breath and looking at the ceiling, Lily couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed.
Unexpectedly, her life had changed dramatically in just one day.
Her fair and beautiful hands, smooth as white jade, played in the water for a while. Her black hair slowly spread out, and her watery skin glowed with a crystal luster under the steamy moisture.
After washing away her fatigue in the water, Lily put on a bathrobe and dried her hair before leaving the bathroom.
Seeing that there was no one else in the bedroom and that the two servants who had brought her up were gone, she couldn’t help but sigh in relief.
Given the scorn in the eyes of those two just now, she wouldn’t have been able to calmly get dressed in front of them if they were still in the room.
Walking to the bedside, Lily casually picked up the underwear and pajamas on the bed to put them on.
Her fingertips inadvertently hooked a small piece of fabric, and sensing something was wrong, she adjusted her glasses and took a closer look, almost throwing the little piece of fabric away in shock.
It was a semi-transparent lace nightgown, and in addition, a tiny pair of panties.
How could Aidan Lucas give her something like this to wear!
Lily Gray angrily threw the rags on the bed, swearing that even if she had to sell herself for ane year, she would never wear anything like that!

Aidan Lucas returned to the villa and went straight to his study. He didn’t come out until dinner was ready and the butler knocked on his door.
Sitting down at the table and looking at the exquisite dishes, he frowned.
“Why is there only one set of tableware? Add another set and call Mrs. Barker to join me for dinner.”
The Butler at Blue Bay Estates was Ellie, who belonged to the Lucas family. She hesitated for a moment upon hearing Aidan’s instructions.
As a veteran servant who had seen Aidan grow up, she had always been highly regarded by the Lucas family and worked there even before Aidan’s mother. So she had some status in front of Aidan and Mrs. Barker.
“Young Master, is Mrs. Barker coming for dinner tonight? I didn’t hear about it in advance. If 1 had known earlier, 1 would have prepared some of her favorite dishes..”
