"Zara Lucas, I hope you understand this. I am an adult with an independent personality. Whether I don't come home at night or wherever I go, there is no need for me to report to you."
I no longer feel guilty towards Austin Lucas, nor do I love him, let alone continue to please the Lucas family. Thinking of how I was tormented day and night by Michelle Carter and Zara Lucas for the past six months at the Lucas family's mansion, Lily Gray felt indignant.
Well, if they want to push the envelope, they can't blame me for not being polite.
"Oh dear, Lily Gray, you're a bitch! Are you becoming defiant? You eat and use what we Lucas family owns. You married Austin. You live and die as a member of the Lucas family. Why can't we interrogate about where you go? You mean it's okay if you go out and bring shame to us and cuckold Austin!"
If it comes to street quarrels, only Michelle Carter can take second place. Nobody else on their street dares to claim the first place.
If Michelle Carter didn't strip a layer of flesh from Lily Gray today, she would renounce her surname Gong!
"Mrs. Lucas, I think you are mistaken. First, although I did marry Austin Lucas, he has not appeared at the Lucas family's mansion since the wedding night. And I, without a honeymoon or a newlywed period, have to serve your whole family at the mansion."
As Lily Gray spoke, she walked out. She had no intention of quarrelling with these two in front of her bedroom door. If they wanted to talk, they could go to the living room downstairs.
"Second, from the first day of our marriage, you entrusted me with managing the Lucas family's affairs. Yes, I did. But you have never provided family expenses. All the expenses of the Lucas family over these six months have been paid off from my personal account. You were wrong in what you said earlier. It's not me living off the Lucas family, in fact, it should be your Lucas family living off my Gray family!"
With that, she closed the door promptly and walked downstairs, completely ignoring the two dumbstruck women behind her.
"You... You're already married to our Lucas family, what are you talking about Lucas or Gray family! You are our son's wife, your money is Lucas family's money, even if all of it is used from your account, isn't it equivalent to using our Lucas family's savings!"
Lily Gray didn't bother to pay her any mind. Michelle Carter couldn't use her brain beyond looking pretty.
If she hadn't given birth to such a manipulative son, there was no way that Austin Lucas's father, Brandon Lucas, would have officially acknowledged her.
She couldn't even distinguish between pre-marital and post-marital assets. Lily wondered how on earth this woman became Mrs. Lucas.
Michelle Carter was offended when she realized Lily Gray ignored her words and just sneered at her, walking away. She hadn't expected that Lily Gray would dare to outright ignore her.
Over the last six months at the Lucas household, she had grown accustomed to Lily Gray's subservient and humble behavior.
She had been able to control Lily Gray's every move. If she said right, Lily Gray wouldn't dare go left. If she said east, Lily Gray wouldn't dare head west. She certainly didn't expect Lily Gray to start back-talking now, even daring to ignore her words.
Michelle Carter's glamorous face was filled with impatience. She tugged at Zara Lucas, similarly stunned, "Go, stop her."
Hum, how dare she run!
Once she entered the Lucas family household, even if she wanted to leave, she must leave all of the Gray family's property. Otherwise, she, Lily Gray, would never leave the Lucas family."
Zara Lucas, being tugged by Michelle Carter, anxiously went to stop Lily Gray.
But just as she reached Lily Gray, her foot suddenly slipped. Anticipating a fall, she instinctively reached out to grab hold of something, and ended up pushing at Lily Gray's back.
