Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

The Lucas family naturally tried to use their connections to exert pressure, but Mr. Fenton was no pushover. The people at the police station knew who was backing him up, even if others didn’t.

In comparison, although it seemed strange, no one was willing to offend the main Lucas family for the sake of their branch family.

“Lily Gray, what will it take for you to drop the case?”

Austin Lucas, who had been bailed out by his lawyer, blocked Lily Gray’s way at the entrance of the police station.

Zara Lucas and Michelle Carter, who were proven to have worn the stolen items on multiple occasions, were detained by the police and not granted bail.

“I don’t want anything. 1 just want some people to get their just desserts. Evil begets evil.” Lily Gray raised her head, not backing down.

“You—” Austin Lucas’s face darkened, his handsome eyes filled with viciousness.

Lily Gray stared at him fearlessly: “What about me? This is the entrance of the police station. If Mr. Lucas wants to go back in right after coming out, you can feel free to teach me a lesson right here.”

Her attitude drove Austin to the brink of fury, but he had to admit that he really couldn’t do anything to her here.

“You…” Austin’s icy face could almost drip water. “Withdraw the case and 1’11 return your mother’s necklace to you.”

Originally, he had planned to keep the necklace as leverage to threaten Lily Gray in the future.

But now, he had no choice but to break it out in advance.

Lily Gray pretended not to understand and frowned. “Which necklace?”

“The citrine necklace. The one I returned to you last time.Jt was a fake.”

In order not to let others hear his actions, Austin lowered his voice and took a few steps closer to Lily Gray.

The distance between the two shortened, and he caught a whiff of the infuriating woman’s sweet scent.

Austin Lucas’s footsteps paused, and he unexpectedly found the fragrance on this woman’s body extremely pleasant.

It was much more comfortable than the perfume scent on Vivian Walters, which he was used to.

“Austin Lucas, 1 never thought you’d be so despicable!” Lily Gray stared at the approaching man, not hiding the contempt in her eyes.

That kind of look made Austin Lucas very unhappy.

Once upon a time, when Lily Gray looked at him, her eyes were filled with admiration and flattery.

But now, after removing her glasses and revealing her beautiful peach blossom eyes, she was no longer the same as in his memories.

When facing him, her eyes were filled with nothing but intense hatred and estrangement.

Austin was not a man driven by emotion. He quickly suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.

“Lily Gray, enough with the nonsense… Do you want the necklace or not? If you do, go and withdraw the case immediately, release my mother and Zara, if not…”

“If not, what?” Lily Gray snorted coldly, her peach blossom eyes glistening.

“Austin Lucas, you’d better figure out who’s asking who for a favor here. Since you switched my mother’s necklace, how can I be sure the one you give me this time is genuine? Besides, although the necklace is precious, the person is gone. 1 believe my mother wouldn’t want me to be blackmailed for a necklace. If you push me too far, 1’11 just give it up!”

Lily Gray tried her best to maintain her composure, even though her heart couldn’t let go of that necklace, she appeared extremely calm.

“But you’re different from me. Your mother and sister are both locked up right now. As long as 1 don’t drop the case, they’ll be locked up and may even be sentenced. At that point, not only will they be tortured, but your Lucas family’s reputation will also be completely tarnished. Austin Lucas, if you’re going to ask for help, at least show some sincerity. How can I trust you if 1 can’t see it?”

Lily Gray crossed her arms in front of her chest, her expression resolute as she waited for Austin to surrender.

Even if he was extremely heartless, and could disregard his sister and mother, he still couldn’t ignore his own reputation and the Lucas family’s.

“You…” Austin Lucas squinted his eyes, wishing he could bore a hole through Lily Gray’s body. “Apologize…to…”

“What did you say?” Lily Gray’s mouth curled into a smile. “The wind is too strong. 1 can’t hear you clearly..”
