“Um…” Madam Gray showed hesitation, she was genuinely afraid of the domineering man.
Mr. Holbrook, who was waiting at the door for the three generations of Grays, overheard their conversation and almost laughed his teeth off.
These three really had grand ambitions.
Mr. Lucas hadn’t even shown an interest in Miss Milly Gray yet, but they were already struggling with whether to accept him or not.
It was like Mr. Lucas was already head over heels for Miss Milly Gray.
It had to be said that the three generations of Grays were extraordinarily daring in their thoughts.
“Mother, grandmother, please support me! If a woman like Lily Gray can be kept by Mr. Lucas, then why wouldn’t he like me? You guys said it too, I’m way prettier than Lily Gray!”
Thinking of that man, Milly couldn’t help but blush.
Ever since she was a child, as long as she liked something, her mother and grandmother would help her snatch it away from Lily Gray.
That man, she really liked him too, now.
“Milly is right.”
It seemed that Rowena Gray could see wealth and fortune in her daughter’s words, “Mother, we must support Milly this time. Our Milly has such good conditions, as long as Mr. Lucas isn’t blind, he will definitely choose our Milly.”
Madam Gray nodded too, “Alright, since Milly likes it, I’ll listen to you guys…”

The first court hearing finally began.
Mr. Fenton had prepared a lot of materials for their side, and coupled with his outstanding eloquence in court, Mr. Holbrook, who represented the Gray Family, had no chance to fight back after a few exchanges.
Mr. Holbrook took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, regretting that he shouldn’t have been blinded by money.
In such an obvious lawsuit, the empire Mr. Gray built would naturally be inherited by Lily Gray as his daughter. Even if Madam Gray could get some shares, it wouldn’t make sense for her to take everything.
Not only was Mr. Holbrook cursing himself, but so was the judge.
He really didn’t understand, why on earth the three Grays, especially the aunt who was the plaintiff, had the nerve to try to snatch the family property from their niece.
“The plaintiff’s side has finished speaking, is there anything the defendants would like to add?”
The judge had just listened to Lily Gray’s testimony and turned to ask Madam Gray.
Madam Gray opened her mouth, she hadn’t felt scared when entering the courtroom, but upon seeing the judge and the solemn atmosphere inside, she suddenly couldn’t speak now because of her nerves.
Seeing that Madam Gray was frozen, Rowena Gray had no choice but to step up.
“Your Honor, we have new evidence to provide!” Rowena Gray nudged Madam Gray with her elbow, and Madam Gray immediately snapped back to her senses.
“Yes, Your Honor, we have new evidence here.”
Mr. Holbrook didn’t know beforehand that the Grays had prepared new evidence. As he got closer to take a look, his face changed.
My goodness, it turned out that the Grays were holding onto this trump card.
If they had presented it earlier, he wouldn’t have been so completely unable to fight back against Mr. Fenton!
The evidence was submitted, and Lily Gray saw the smug look in the Gray family’s eyes and the solemn expression on the judge’s face, her heart tightened involuntarily.
Aidan Lucas was holding her gently, noticing that her body had stiffened momentarily, he tilted his head and kissed her forehead, “Don’t be afraid, I told you, I’ll help you get back the Gray family property.”
Thinking of this man’s status and means, Lily Gray’s wavering heart finally calmed down a bit. But she couldn’t help but snuggle closer to him.
She seemed to have become especially delicate.
She hadn’t relied on him so much in the past, but now, she couldn’t help but want to depend on him.
Could she really just walk away from him effortlessly a year from now?
