Lily Gray had just returned to Blue Bay Estates when Austin Lucas’ call came in.
Fortunately, Aidan Lucas was in the study room having a video conference at the time, so Lily Gray didn’t hesitate and simply hung up the call.
But Austin Lucas seemed persistent and kept calling non-stop. She was about to block his number when a text message popped up on her cell phone’s screen. [Do you still want your things at the mansion? If you don’t pick them up soon, I’ll throw them out for you.]
Her finger paused as she was about to press down, and in that moment of surprise, the same phone number began to ring again.
She took a deep breath and could only answer the call.
“Hello?” Lily Gray’s voice was cold and calm, as if she was answering a stranger’s call.
On the other end of the phone, Austin Lucas’ voice carried a hint of cynicism. “Lily Gray, you’re something else! Even though we’ve divorced, you still hung up on me nine times in a row?!”
“I don’t want to waste words with you. I’ll pick up my things from your house in a few days.” If she could, she didn’t want to say an extra word to Austin Lucas.
She had originally planned to handle matters at the Gray family first before going to Austin Lucas’ house to collect the things she had left behind.
However, now she had to make a trip there first.
“Wait, I haven’t agreed to let you take your stuff yet.” Austin’s voice was full of disdain over the phone.
“What do you mean, Austin Lucas?!”
Lily Gray felt that Austin Lucas was definitely sick. Since he despised her so much, why wouldn’t he let her take her things away?
“The literal meaning.” His cold voice carried his disgust for her.
“Lily Gray, let me be straightforward with you. I, Austin Lucas, don’t even want to touch your things because they disgust me. If it weren’t for… forget it. Anyway, you can take your things from the mansion, but since we divorced until now, we’ve been storing them for you free of charge in the Lucas family. Don’t you think you should pay a storage fee?”
“Storage fee…” Lily Gray almost thought she had heard wrong.
Austin Lucas’ family really were penny pinchers. When they divorced, they took half of her Gray family shares, and now they wanted to charge her for storage when she went to pick up her things.
Lily Gray couldn’t help but sneer: “Austin Lucas, is your family on the verge of bankruptcy? You, the dignified Mr. Lucas, are actually asking for storage fees from your ex-wife… if this gets out, aren’t you afraid people will laugh their heads off?!”
“Hmph, don’t talk nonsense.” If he wasn’t forced to do so, he wouldn’t be asking Lily Gray for money in such a way.
But every time he thought of the huge sum he’d paid on the black market for Michelle Carter, Austin Lucas could only grit his teeth: “1’11 be waiting for you at the mansion the day after tomorrow afternoon. Bring a three-million check with you when you come. If there’s no money, don’t bother coming.”
“Three million? Austin Lucas, why don’t you go rob a bank?!”
Austin Lucas mocked, “Well, I’m not Miss Gray. If 1 spread my legs, no one would support me and pay for me. To be honest, Lily Gray, I know who’s been taking care of you, and 1 know you’re not short of money now… you can take your things here, or leave them, if I don’t see a check by the day after tomorrow, I’ll dispose of them all for you.”
“You…” Lily Gray’s chest felt tight from anger. She never realized Austin Lucas was such a shameless person before.
“Don’t be angry, I’ve always been ruthless to outsiders. Oh, and let me remind you, I remember that among those things are the relics your mother left you. If you don’t want them, just let me know in advance, I’m just in need of some nice things to give away.”
“Austin Lucas, you dare…!”
“Whether 1 dare or not, you should know better than me. Gotta hang up now, 1 hope you can be on time the day after tomorrow.”
After hanging up the phone with trembling hands, Lily Gray decided to go downstairs and find Aidan Lucas..
