Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 693: Chapter 696: The Lucas Family, Never Gives Up

“Lily, if Grandma wanted you to divorce Ethan, she wouldn’t have shared all of those past events with you,” said Madam Lucas.

Madam Lucas held Lily Gray’s hand tightly. Due to her old age, her hands slightly trembled as she held onto Lily.

“Telling you all these things is not meant to persuade you to divorce Ethan. Yes, Grandma admits, she also had the thought of taking shortcuts in the past. If you choose to retreat because of these difficulties and leave Ethan, the Scott family will not unite with that unfilial son to confront the Lucas family, and the pressure on Ethan will be much reduced,” she continued.

“But my child, you must understand, there is never something for nothing in this world. The Lucas family could grow to what it is today, precisely because each head of the family never feared hardship. These difficulties are just obstacles on the road to success. If we always choose the shortcut and retreat in the face of every obstacle, the Lucas family will just continue to decline,” Madam Lucas explained.

“All this that Grandma’s sharing with you today is to make it clear that as Ethan’s wife and a daughter-in-law of the Lucas family, in these difficult times, anyone can retreat, but you mustn’t. You must stand firmly behind Ethan and be his strongest support.”

“From today onwards, many may oppose you, and some may even pretend to mean well, advising you to yield. But, Lily, remember what Grandma has said today. We, the Lucas family, can only move forward, we cannot back down…. You are Ethan’s choice, you are the Lucas family’s choice. All you need to do is to keep believing in him, standing by him. Got it?”

Lily Gray was moved to tears by Madam Lucas’ words.

She always had a bad feeling.

From the moment Madam Lucas returned and called her upstairs for a private talk… to learning about Ethan’s current predicament, she had felt uneasy.

She thought that Madam Lucas had wanted to share these difficulties with her, so that she would understand the implication and willingly step down.

Logically speaking, Lily could somewhat understand.

If the Lucas family chose to abandon her and have her divorce Ethan…

Even if it was too painful to bear, she would never blame the Lucas famly.

The Lucas family did not owe her anything; on the contrary, they treated her exceptionally well. Rather, it was she who felt indebted to the Lucas family.

Perhaps her life was destined to be filled with sadness and solitude. Maybe what Madam Gray had said before was correct, perhaps she was born under an unlucky star, destined to bring misfortune to the family she married into.

“Lily, what are you thinking about?” Madam Lucas’ husky but firm voice interrupted her thoughts.

“Do you feel guilty? Do you believe that all these problems started because of you? My child, Granny wants to tell you, I don’t want you to think like that.”

“None of this is your fault. The real culprits are those who stirred up the trouble — Ethan’s selfish father and the eldest son of the Scott family who prioritized personal grudges over moral integrity. Lily, all these mistakes aren’t yours, so you shouldn’t be the one to pay for their mistakes!” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lily looked up at Madam Lucas in disbelief, “Grandma….”

“Go on now, child. I came back this time to help you and Ethan clear all obstacles. Go upstairs, wash your face and change your clothes. I will take you somewhere,” Madam Lucas said.

Lily could hardly believe what she was hearing.

Nonetheless, Madam Lucas’ words, firm like a rock, pressed down all her unease and panic.

She looked up at the elderly Madam Lucas.

In the backlight, she seemed just like a frail old woman. But at this moment, she inspired a reverent faith.

This wise old woman, who possesses such a tenacious personality, proud as a member of the Lucas family, had the confidence to shoulder the responsibilities of a family.

For the first time, Lily understood. This was whom she aspired to be.

As Ethan’s wife, she would someday be like Madam Lucas.

Not a liability, not a burden, but a woman who can stand by his side, on equal footing!
