Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love - Chapter 440
Chapter 440: Chapter 443: Direct Spray
Emma Shaw stood up abruptly and pointed at Rowena Gray on the other side of the table and cursed her.
“You Grays are getting too arrogant! Just because your family produced Lily Gray, doesn’t mean you can overstep your bounds! 1 tell you, I am Ethan Wilson’s aunt, and our relationship is closer than any of you in the Gray family!”
Emma’s sudden outburst attracted the attention of those around her.
No one expected this kind of dispute to happen at the Lucas family banquet.
Rowena Gray was also taken aback.
She was accustomed to sarcasm and innuendo, speaking in ambiguity.
Just like earlier, she hid her barbs within sentences that seemed innocuous.
However, under these circumstances, with all the distinguished people around her and even Simon Taylor sitting beside her, she would never be like Emma and openly curse.
Just as she was taken aback, a louder and more aggressive scolding voice came from the person sitting nearby.
The elderly Mrs. Gray, Sonya Hamilton, slapped the table and stood up.
“You’re just talking nonsense! We came here because of Mrs. Lucas’s invitation, which has nothing to do with that ungrateful girl Lily Gray! 1’11 tell you, our family has already severed ties with her! If you want to curse, curse her! Don’t associate us with that ungrateful girl!”
Madam Gray deeply hated Lily Gray for “stealing” the Gray family name.
“Heh, it’s laughable… if it wasn’t for Lily Gray, could you three even be sitting here?” Emma was almost amused by Madam Gray’s words.
She was completely misunderstanding the situation; she didn’t know that the Gray family was genuinely unaware that Lily Gray had married Aidan Lucas.
When they heard that they could come because of an invitation from ‘Mrs. Lucas’.
Naturally, they thought that this “Mrs. Lucas” was Emily Taylor.
Emily was Lily’s mother-in-law, so her invitation was not inappropriate.
Hearing the Gray family mention Emily Taylor,
Emma couldn’t help but think of her recent situation.
She had been treated coldly by Emily, and even the Taylors were somewhat dismissive of her.
But these Grays took the opportunity to cozy up to Emily.
For a moment, Emma’s discontent boiled over.
Just as she was planning to berate them again, Simon Taylor, who had been silent all this time, raised his finger and tapped on the table firmly.
“Enough! Are you not embarrassed enough? Sit down!”
“Uncle…” Emma didn’t expect Simon to speak up at this time.
When Rowena Gray just indirectly cursed her, she didn’t see him say anything.
“I said sit down, did you hear me?” Simon Taylor’s entire face sank, and his dark gaze fell on Emma’s face.
Emma, intimidated by Simon’s glare, lost all her anger.
She shrank her neck and sat down with a feeling of grievance.
Dominic Taylor, who was sitting beside her, sneered after she sat down.
Humph, Emma Shaw was always so overconfident and loved to cause trouble.
If it weren’t for the sake of their children, he would have wanted to divorce her long ago.
After scolding Emma, Simon Taylor’s gaze towards Madam Gray was much softer, “Alright, we are all family, Madam, don’t be angry. Everyone sit down, the banquet is about to start.”
Hearing the phrase “family”, Madam Gray and Rowena Gray exchanged glances, and their hearts blossomed with joy.
Madam Gray sat down cheerfully.
Meanwhile, Rowena Gray was constantly planning how to continue connecting with Simon after the banquet.
Clearly, he should also have that sort of intention towards her.
Otherwise, in such a public setting,
Why wouldn’t he side with his own relatives?
Instead, he turned around and helped these outsiders?
