Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Lily Gray couldn’t help but suppress a giggle as she was being driven to the lawyer’s office.

Who could have thought that Ethan Wilson, who always seemed cold and distant, would be so agreeable when appeased properly?

Thinking back to the time when she was acting cute while nuzzling his neck and gently calling him “husband,” coupled with his subtly pleased response…she couldn’t help but feel like she had accidentally discovered how to win Ethan’s heart.

With a smile yet to fade from her face, Lily, dressed neatly in a Chanel dress and sporting seven-inch high heels, sprinted towards the elevator doors that were about to close.

Phew, she just made it in time.

Mr. Fenton’s law firm was on the 88th floor of this building, and there were only two elevators that could reach the top floors above the 8oth floor. The last time Ethan came with her, they had to wait for an awfully long time.

As she made it onto the elevator, she was filled with a sense of relief.

However, upon recognizing the faces of the other two passengers in the elevator, she instantly felt regret. She didn’t expect that the people who had entered the elevator before her were Austin Lucas and Michelle Carter.

If she had known that she would bump into these two in the elevator, she would have rather waited for ten more elevators before getting in.

But now that she was in, whoever stepped out first would be admitting defeat.

Lily Gray didn’t want to back down. Thus, she turned her back towards Austin and Michelle, treating them as if they were thin air.

Just when the elevator doors were closing, she reached out to press the button for her floor.

The light for the 88th floor that she wanted to press had already been lit.

Pulling back her hand, Lily couldn’t help but feel a little surprised that these two were also headed to the same floor.

There weren’t many businesses on that floor – she hoped she wouldn’t share the same path with them later.

While she was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly heard Michelle’s snide voice from behind her.

“Hmph, truly shameless. Even if you knew our Austin was coming here today, was there a need to follow him? Austin, beware of these crafty women, don’t fall for their tricks!”

Even though Michelle didn’t mention anyone, by her words alone, Lily knew she was talking about her.

Wasn’t she just indirectly targeting her? Michelle was always the best at making veiled attacks and distorting facts.

However, today, she decided to ignore the vulgar woman behind her.

From the moment she divorced Austin, she was utterly unrelated to him and his family.

Such a nauseating family could be taken by whoever liked them – she didn’t even want to affiliate with them or lay eyes on them if she didn’t have to.

Michelle taunted Lily a number of times, but since Lily didn’t respond, she became even more unbridled.

Everyone in their industry was saying how this woman was being kept by an old man since her divorce from Austin. No one knew whom she had latched onto, but she was spotted numerous times in luxurious cars.

Originally, if she had snagged an old man after her divorce, it would have been none of Michelle’s business.

However, a few days ago, she heard from someone that Lily was planning on spending a huge sum on plastic surgery. She wanted to create a new face for herself to get closer to Austin.

Upon hearing this news, Michelle was definitely not pleased.

Austin was very outstanding and had a lot of admirers.

Furthermore, he was no longer an illegitimate child but the heir to the wealthy Lucas family. He could have the opportunity to choose a more illustrious bride from a wealthy family.

What right did a woman like Lily – who had been driven out of the Gray family – have to meddle with her son?

Even if she just entertained the thought, it was unacceptable.

Michelle herself had climbed up using her feminine charm and naturally understood the power of a woman who was divorced. There were hundreds of chances that she might still be in touch with her ex-husband if she played it right.

To prevent Lily from coming after her son, whenever Austin went out alone, she made sure to follow him.

Today, she just so happened to run into Lily right after she’d stepped out.

What were the chances of such a coincidence? Michelle quickly linked all the hints together and immediately believed the rumors to be true..
