Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love - Chapter 416
Chapter 416: Chapter 419: Raising Doubts
” “No.” David Redington smiled faintly, shaking his head, “I just wanted to confirm, are you really unaware of the Ford family?”
His deep eyes focused on Lily Gray, trying to discern if the doubt and confusion in her eyes were genuine.
After a few seconds, David sighed internally.
It seemed that the Lily Gray in front of him was truly like a blank sheet of paper.
She genuinely didn’t know her own background.
“Of course, I’ve heard of them, but… not the Ford family you mentioned. There are several families in Eastonia with the surname Ford, and I’m familiar with the others but not the one you mentioned.”
“So, David…” Lily Gray looked at him with serious eyes, “What exactly are you trying to tell me after all this?”
The woman in front of him was beautiful, with fair skin and pretty, slightly upturned peach blossom eyes intently staring at him.
Such an expression and serene demeanor almost made people unable to bear disrupting her.
A breeze blew by, and a strand of hair by her ear fell.
Almost instinctively, if not for David’s timely reaction, he almost wanted to reach out and help her brush away the messy strand of hair.
David fiercely suppressed the urge to get close to her.
His right hand clenched into a fist, standing still.
This woman was not someone he should approach.
He needed to stay away from her!
David’s calm, deep blue eyes were wrinkled by the wind.
He frowned, his tone carrying a hint of melancholy that even he didn’t notice, “It’s nothing… I was just bored and wanted to see how much you knew about Eastonia’s upper-class circle. Never mind, I can tell from your appearance that you don’t know much about these matters. I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”
It seemed David was genuinely angry, and when he left, there was even a trace of coldness on his face.
“How strange…” Lily Gray watched David Redington’s retreating figure, unable to help but mutter.
But what David said just now was even stranger.
She didn’t think David was the kind of man who was so bored that he needed to test her to kill time.
Suddenly asking her about the Scott and Ford families… could it be…
Were there really issues with these two families?
Sebastian Lucas VII, who was standing far away, saw David leave and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Young Lady might not know, but he was well aware of David’s prowess.
The Reddington family was a famous European noble family that later absorbed the European mafia; although all of the Lucas family’s subordinates were well- trained, he wasn’t confident that he could stop David if he really wanted to forcibly take someone away.
Fortunately, David seemed interested in the Young Lady but didn’t plan to force his way through.
“Young Lady, Mr. Lucas’s car will arrive at the filming site in twenty minutes, it’s about time.”
Upon hearing Sebastian’s words, Lily Gray finally remembered that Aidan Lucas had already made arrangements for them to have dinner together tonight.
“Alright, I’m done here… let’s go. Oh, by the way…”
Lily Gray suddenly stopped.
Sebastian asked very respectfully, “Is there something, Young Lady?”
“Um… for tomorrow night’s banquet, will there be guests from the Scott and Ford families coming?”
Although David had said those two families wouldn’t come tomorrow night,
she felt that David wouldn’t mention those two families without reason.
“This… such matters have never been my responsibility, so I don’t know.” As soon as Sebastian heard Lily Gray’s question, his pupils contracted sharply.
However, he was always a person with little facial expression.
After the initial surprise, he immediately concealed all subtle changes on his face.
