Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 682: Chapter 685: Ben Lucas persuades the old lady to change her mind

Madam Lucas was helped to sit on the sofa.

The old lady moved slowly, making people worry about her.

A trace of sadness flashed through the eyes of Lily Gray and Emily Taylor.

“Emily, where’s Ethan?” Madam Lucas asked.

Since Madam Lucas wanted to see Ben, Lily naturally held the child and sat next to her.

Even though Lily was sitting closer, Madam Lucas still turned to Emily across the room and asked about Ethan’s whereabouts.

For some reason, Lily suddenly felt a not-so-good premonition in her heart.

But on second thought, she felt that she might be overthinking.

Madam Lucas had always been good to her and loved her very much.

It was absolutely impossible to say that the old lady was biased against her.

Just as she was thinking, she heard Emily answer softly, “Ethan is still at the company. I heard there’s a project going on, and he seems quite busy.”

Emily’s lips carried a smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes.

She secretly glanced at Lily and, seeing that she had no suspicions, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Royal Palace Group’s recent situation actually wasn’t good.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Emily didn’t know about the news from outside before. It was Simon Taylor who asked her privately that she finally learned about the pressure Ethan was under now.

Shenzhen family, which has always had a good relationship with Lucas family, unexpectedly joined forces with the Presidential Palace. In addition, Theodore Lucas was helping from behind the scenes.

The Shenzhen family had the power of the military department, the Stone family reached the top of the Presidential Palace, and together with Theodore Lucas… Ethan was able to hold on until now without showing signs of weakness, which was really surprising.

Fortunately, Ethan also had the support of the Taylors and the Wellington family.

However, no one knew how long this competition would last.

After all, the Shenzhen family’s style was not from an ordinary business background. The eldest daughter of the Shenzhen family was married to the Reddington family. If it really came down to the wire, it was still unknown who would win.

The only thing Emily found puzzling was that although the Shenzhen family and the Lucas family weren’t extremely close, their relationship had always been tolerable.

She didn’t understand why the Shenzhen family would strike against the Lucas family at this time.

Emily couldn’t help but secretly observe Madam Lucas.

Could it be that Madam Lucas had returned at this time because she had also received the news?

As expected, the next second, she saw Madam Lucas close her eyes and sigh softly, “Ethan has been working hard.”

Lily, unsuspectingly, echoed, “Yes, Ethan has been so busy lately. I’m really worried that it will wear him out.”

If it weren’t for Ben, she would have wanted to go to Ethan’s company to help.

As for the Gray family, she entrusted Lena Hammond and Skye Brown to help out, and her brother was preparing for the new company.

During this time, apart from occasionally taking the time to have video conferences with them, Lily had devoted all her other time to Ben.

It seemed like the time she spent with Ethan had indeed decreased.

“You know he’s wearing himself out, but you won’t help him with his worries, you all…” Madam Lucas was saying, but suddenly stopped.

Her gaze was attracted by the little great-grandson in Lily’s arms.

Perhaps sensing Madam Lucas’s tone was off, the close to Lily, being held by her, little Ben gently reached out and grabbed his grandmother’s left hand.

Her heart, which had been hardened, instantly softened.

She had come back intending to directly ask Lily to leave.

But now…

Forget it, she would just wait and see. Some things didn’t have to be taken to such extremes.

Madam Lucas told herself.

She gave a weak smile to little Ben, then raised her eyes to look at Lily.

“Lily, come upstairs with me, I have something to tell you.” After speaking, the old lady tried to stand up.

Mr. Mckinley, who had come back with her, immediately went forward to help her up.
