BXBX NOVEL Chapter 229 - 232: Seems Like Someone Confessed to Me
“Lily Gray, don’t go too far.”
Austin Lucas has been angered by her until his face turns green with cold fury.
If the sinister glares could materialize, her body would have been slashed with cuts by now.
“Mr. Lucas, since you’re not sincere, let’s forget it. 1’11 have to trouble you to continue keeping my necklace.” Lily Gray didn’t care too much and hooked up the corner of her lips. She took a step and was about to leave.
Austin Lucas quickly grabbed Lily Gray who was walking past him.
“Wait.” He grabbed her left wrist, unconsciously using all his strength.
Lily Gray gasped in pain.
Austin Lucas sensed he was using too much force and quickly loosened his grip-
This was the first time he knew to let go after hurting her.
Lily Gray’s eyes were filled with irony, “Mr. Lucas, any more advice?”
Austin Lucas frowned at her, and the coldness gradually faded from his black pupils.
“Lily…l apologize for my past mistakes. I hope you can let go of my mother and sister. As long as you release them, 1 will have someone deliver the necklace to Gray family tomorrow.”
After hearing Austin Lucas’s words, Lily Gray suddenly laughed.
The touch of laughter at the corner of her mouth made her delicate face even more shining.
“No…”
She said lightly, “I’ll release them when 1 see the necklace.”
Lily Gray’s attitude was tough, Austin Lucas couldn’t argue with her, so he had to let Michelle Carter and Zara Lucas spend a night in the police station.
The necklace was stored in a bank safe deposit box. To get it, the earliest he could do was to wait until the bank opened tomorrow morning.

After leaving the police station, Lily Gray went back to Gray family first to change her dress, then went to a 24-hour supermarket to buy ingredients for cooking noodles, and finally took a taxi back to the entrance of Blue Bay Estates Community.
She had informed David Redington beforehand that she might be late tonight due to some matters.
Unexpectedly, the incident with Zara Lowe occurred. By the time she rushed back to Blue Bay Estates, it was already past eleven o’clock in the evening.
Finally, carrying the shopping bag and walking to the front door of the villa, she had just rung the doorbell when the door was instantly opened.
A tall and slender figure appeared behind the door.
Lily Gray almost couldn’t see the man’s actions clearly.
Seeing silver hair flashed before her eyes, the next second, she fell into a slightly cold embrace.
“1 thought you weren’t coming.” David Redington whispered in her ear.
His voice was cold and magnetic, but with an indescribable sense of loneliness.
Lily Gray was hugged tightly by him, her mind went completely blank.
Seeing that the woman in his arms didn’t respond, he slowly spoke again: “You…you can’t just leave me.”
After saying that, he tightened his arms even more, holding Lily Gray closer.
The cold wind in the winter night blew past, causing Lily Gray to shiver involuntarily, which instantly woke her up.
“David, Wait… let go of me first.”
Lily Gray finally came back to her senses, trying to push him away anxiously.
According to the difference in strength between her and David Redington, if he didn’t want to, pushing him away would not be easy.
But with just a slight push, the man who was holding her let go.
Lily Gray immediately took several steps back, putting a distance between them.
“You…do you know what you’re doing? David, last time 1 forgot to explain to you…although 1 don’t have a boyfriend, I’m already married. You can’t…”
“I know, I know you’ve been married, and 1 know it hasn’t been long since you divorced. Recently, you’ve been involved in some bad rumors, and the situation for both you and the company isn’t good. But, 1 don’t mind any of these.”
David Redington didn’t care about her words at all.
He looked down at her, his calm eyes full of seriousness.
Being watched by such eyes, Lily Gray’s heart trembled involuntarily.
Crap! This is the rhythm of a disaster!
