Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love - Chapter 722

Chapter 722: Chapter 725: I think I understand why David Redington likes you

Larry Scott obviously didn’t expect that in such a situation, Lily Gray would dare to talk back.

On the other end of the phone, Lily’s voice was fierce but carried a hint of the girl’s unique petulance.

She continued to scold, “Larry Scott, if you have the guts, come at me! If you mess with the Lucas family, I’ll just think you’re a coward!”

“Coward?” Heh, the curvature of Larry’s lips deepened.

“Yes.” Lily Gray knew what she was saying, she wanted to provoke Larry, to make him come after her, “The ones you want revenge on are my mother and me, not Aidan Lucas and the others. You kidnapped Ethan, and threatened Madam Lucas; what kind of man are you!?”

Lily Gray thought that by saying this, she would definitely infuriate Larry.

Who would have expected that a few seconds later, a faint laugh came from the other end of the phone.

“Heh… hahaha…”

Larry’s lips curved up, barely concealing the appreciation in his eyes.

He had to admit, he found this girl to his liking.

“I’m starting to understand why David Redington likes you.” He said, the appreciation in his eyes gradually fading away, “It’s a pity that in the end, you’re still Bella Scott’s daughter…”

Changing the subject, Larry said fiercely: “So, no matter how you try to provoke me, I won’t let Ethan Wilson go. If you want me to back off, it’s simple. Divorce Aidan Lucas, leave the Lucas family, and I’ll let him go.”

“It’s impossible.” Lily Gray refused without hesitation.

But Larry continued on his own, “Furthermore, you can’t take your child with you. If you do these two things, not only will I stop suppressing the Lucas family, but I can also help them fight the Presidential Palace together.”

“Are you crazy!?” Lily Gray cried out, “I told you, if you want revenge, come at me. You want me to divorce and leave my baby, Larry Scott… I really don’t understand why you have to do this?”

To Lily Gray, revenge was understandable, but she couldn’t understand why revenge had to involve innocent people.

She was being forced to separate from Aidan Lucas and leave Ben Lucas.

Ben was still so young, she would never, ever leave him at Larry’s insistence!

“Don’t understand? Heh, don’t you think that ‘parting in life’ is a more painful torment than ‘parting in death’? ”

Thinking of the past, his dark eyes grew even colder.

“Back then, Bella Scott made Sylvia experience both ‘life and death’ partings. What I’m doing now is just repaying her in kind. Lily Gray, my patience is limited, so you’d better do as you’re told, or else… ”

“Then you might as well come at me!” Although she knew he could not see her, her eyes flashed with determination as she spoke.

“I won’t compromise, and I absolutely will never bow to someone like you!”

Madam Lucas’s teachings and her dignity as a Lucas family daughter-in-law would not allow her to bow to Larry Scott.

Moreover, she couldn’t bear to part with Aidan Lucas or Ben Lucas.

She would rather share their hardships than enjoy a life without them.

“Fine, very well…” Larry stared blankly for half a second, then laughed wildly with anger, “Lily Gray, since it’s like this, don’t blame me for being ruthless. I hope you don’t regret what you said today.”

After leaving these harsh words, Larry hung up the phone.

Lily Gray held the cell phone, listening to the “beeping” sound coming from the earpiece, and didn’t react for a long time.

After a while, her right hand gripping the phone slowly fell at her side.

Despite the ample air conditioning in the office, her back was now covered with a layer of cold sweat.

Larry Scott’s words deeply unsettled Lily Gray.

But she couldn’t back down, nor did she know how to back down.

Even if she was scared and worried, she could only grit her teeth and keep going.
