Chapter 694 - 697: Mr. Cooper, please divorce the Young Lady (Extra 1)
Chapter 694: Chapter 697: Mr. Cooper, please divorce the Young Lady (Extra 1)
Lily Gray went upstairs to wash her face, using a wet towel to cool her slightly red eyes.
She chose a set of simple and elegant clothes to wear, unaware of where Madam Lucas would take her or whom she would meet.
But she had a faint premonition in her heart.
The upcoming meeting might be a tough battle.
As expected, when she came downstairs to the living room, Madam Lucas was already waiting for her in the hall.
Emily Taylor, who was playing with the child just a moment ago, was nowhere to be found.
“I asked Emily to take Ben upstairs. Let’s go, accompany me to the company.” n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Lily was slightly taken aback and cautiously asked, “Are we going to the Royal Palace Headquarters?”
“Yes.” The old lady nodded, “Come on, Lily, it’s time for others to know the Lucas family’s determination. Don’t worry, your grandma will stand behind you.”

In the conference room at the top floor of Royal Palace Headquarters.
The top ten shareholders of the Royal Palace Group, and the heads of the nine branches of the Lucas family, were sitting around the long conference table, waiting for Aidan Lucas’s answer.
Aidan sat at the head of the table, his lips slightly downturned, his cold and handsome features exuding a chilly temperature.
Just half a minute ago, someone among the shareholders suddenly brought up that they had privately contacted the Scott family.
The Scott family proposed that as long as Aidan agreed to divorce his current wife, they would withdraw from their attack on the Royal Palace Group.
“Mr. Cooper, the Royal Palace Group is not just the hard work of the Lucas family, but also the efforts of all of us. Larry Scott’s condition is simple, he said that Mrs. Lucas offended the Scott family, as long as Mr. Cooper is willing to divorce Mrs. Lucas, this matter would be easily resolved. The Scott family has already taken a clear stand on this issue. Mr. Cooper, women are like clothes, you can always buy more if you lose them. You should consider whether you want to…”
These words made the other shareholders and the heads of the Lucas family branches see hope.
The alliance of Theodore Lucas and the Presidential Palace, coupled with several other families with grudges against the Lucas family, had already put tremendous pressure on the Lucas family.
Larry Scott’s sudden intervention was something no one expected.
Now, whichever side he leaned towards would have a clear advantage.
Outsiders did not know about the private grudge between Bella Scott and her brother, Larry Scott.
They just wanted to quickly resolve this troublesome issue.
Upon hearing those words, Aidan Lucas’s originally dark and deep eyes suddenly became even more profound like an ocean.
He raised his eyelids and looked coldly at the shareholder who suggested the proposal.
His entire demeanor was shrouded in a solemn and majestic atmosphere.
“This proposal is excellent,” he said coldly.
The faint sarcasm still lingered on his lips, “However, Aidan Lucas has never used women as a means to an end. There’s no need to mention this again, I don’t agree.”
“Mr. Cooper, you can’t be impulsive!” The shareholder said excitedly.
A clear shortcut was placed right in front of their eyes, but he didn’t understand Aidan’s stubbornness.
Moreover, what’s so good about Lily Gray, an ordinary woman with a common background?
And on top of that, she was previously married…
Thinking of this, the shareholder suddenly looked up at the diagonally opposite side of the room.
There, as the fourth-ranking head of the Lucas family branches, Austin Lucas and Brandon Lucas were also present at this meeting.
“Austin, you should persuade Mr. Cooper. Mrs. Lucas was once your wife, and a woman isn’t worth making the entire Lucas family and Royal Palace go down with her!”
The shareholder said this on purpose.
Since Lily Gray used to be Austin Lucas’s wife, mentioning it now was an intentional provocation to Aidan Lucas.
Perhaps it would get Aidan to entertain the idea of divorcing her.
Austin Lucas, who had been silent, finally raised his head upon being called out.
