Lily Gray had just returned to Blue Bay Estates when Austin Lucas' call came in.
Fortunately, Aidan Lucas was in the study room having a video conference at the time, so Lily Gray didn't hesitate and simply hung up the call.
But Austin Lucas seemed persistent and kept calling non-stop. She was about to block his number when a text message popped up on her cell phone's screen.
[Do you still want your things at the mansion? If you don't pick them up soon, I'll throw them out for you.]
Her finger paused as she was about to press down, and in that moment of surprise, the same phone number began to ring again.
She took a deep breath and could only answer the call.
"Hello?" Lily Gray's voice was cold and calm, as if she was answering a stranger's call.
On the other end of the phone, Austin Lucas' voice carried a hint of cynicism. "Lily Gray, you're something else! Even though we've divorced, you still hung up on me nine times in a row?!"
