Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love - Chapter 715

Chapter 715: Chapter 718: A Big Incident Happened

Larry Scott’s stormy strike caught everyone off guard.

Lily Gray had just returned home from the Gray family, changing her shoes in the foyer and preparing to enter the living room.

Emily Taylor’s frightened voice came from the living room.

“What, Ethan’s in trouble?!”

Upon hearing this sentence, Lily Gray almost stumbled.

She reached out to the wall, and Ellie, worried, held her other arm, “Young Lady, are you okay?”

“I’m fine, Ellie. Let’s go… let’s go in.”

Lily Gray told herself not to be afraid and not to worry.

Nothing would happen, absolutely nothing.

Upon entering the living room, she saw Emily Taylor frowning on the sofa, answering a phone call.

Whoever was on the other end of the line was talking.

Yet Emily Taylor’s face grew paler by inches.

Finally, she could not control herself any longer, her eyes reddening.

Lily Gray anxiously watched Emily’s expression, fearing that the news from the other end of the phone had caused her great shock.

Lily Gray tiptoed over and sat next to Emily. Although extremely eager, she had no choice but to wait for Emily to finish the call.

If it were under normal circumstances, Emily would have nodded to her in acknowledgment even if she were in the middle of a call.

But now, sitting in place, holding her cell phone, her attention was completely on the call and she did not even notice Lily approaching.

Lily Gray even found Emily’s hand clutching the phone was trembling slightly.

Her heart dropped to the bottom of her chest.

Lily Gray was both anxious and nervous, but there was nothing she could do, only waiting for Emily to finish her call.

Moments later, the call finally ended.

“Mom, what happened to Ethan? What’s going on?” Lily Gray asked anxiously.

Emily Taylor lost her wits at the news from the phone call.

Lily had to shake her twice to rouse her.

She looked up, her face lost.

“Lily, just now Mr. Wellington called and said that Ethan was arrested by the military, forcibly taken away!”

“What, on what grounds can they do that?!”

Ethan Wilson was not an ordinary person, even the military had no right to arrest him at will.

“Treason, the military says Ethan is suspected of treason… Hurry, Ellie, go upstairs and call Madam Lucas…” Emily tried to tell herself not to panic, not to rush, but now she didn’t even have the strength to stand up.

As Emily gave orders to Ellie, Lily Gray acted even quicker.

“I’ll go get grandma. Mom, don’t worry… nothing will happen to Ethan. The charge of treason is not something they can easily pin on him!”

Lily Gray was actually scared too.

Her legs were so weak that the sound of her rapid heartbeat seemed to be right in her ears.

But she knew she couldn’t be weak at this moment.

Lily Gray stood up, resisting the weakness in her legs, and ran upstairs to find Madam Lucas.

At this time, if Madam Lucas were home, she was usually in the nursery with Ben Lucas.

Lily Gray ran upstairs, opened the door to the nursery, and sure enough, saw Madam Lucas’s figure.

“Grandma…” she called, and Madam Lucas turned around.

The afterglow of the setting sun, filtered through the floor-to-ceiling window, spread from outside to inside.

It settled on Madam Lucas’s face, coating her aged face with a layer of gold.

For some reason, seeing this scene, the words Lily Gray wanted to say suddenly got stuck in her throat, like they were caught.

“What’s the matter, Lily?” Madam Lucas lowered her voice and put her index finger to her lips.

She pointed with her eyes to the baby bed, indicating that Ben had just fallen asleep, and motioned for Lily not to make any noise.

Lily Gray couldn’t say anything, she nodded and waited for Madam Lucas outside the door.

Madam Lucas smiled at Ben in the crib, adjusted his quilt, glanced at the little boy once more, and then came out.

Closing the door, she asked, “What happened?”

“Grandma…” Lily Gray took a deep breath, trying to keep her voice calm, “Ethan’s in trouble. He was arrested by the military on charges of treason.”
