After Divorce: Remarried to a Tycoon with Twin Babies-Chapter 117: Lillian Rivers and Her Lover, Scheming Against Each Other
Lillian Rivers pushed him away with a cold look of disgust.
"Don’t come over!"
"And don’t call me that, it’s sickening!"
"Dylan Drexler, don’t forget, this is your debt to me and Gia, don’t think doing a few things for me will make me bow to you."
Dylan Drexler’s fingers, eager as they were, never touched the face that had once haunted his dreams.
He just leaned in, staring at the woman before him with eyes full of aggression.
"But don’t forget, you promised me... that you would let me experience the madness and ecstasy of that night again."
"All these years, I’ve never forgotten..."
Saying this, Dylan Drexler leaned close to Lillian Rivers’s hair, deeply inhaling her scent.
"I’ve had many women over the years, but none have been as unforgettable as you."
"Tell me, what kind of potion did you give me?"
Lillian Rivers couldn’t help but recoil, "Stop saying such shameless nonsense!"
"If I hadn’t been drunk back then, would I have let you take advantage of me?"
Dylan Drexler laughed twice, "Yes. Back then, you were the most beautiful, unattainable lady in all of Ardis, and me? I was a nobody not worth a glance."
"Otherwise, if I had the power I have today back then, I would’ve stirred up enough trouble to not let anyone in The Grant Family have any peace!"
"Unless you marry me, I won’t let you go!"
"But you, you were so heartless, blaming my child on your husband, making me miss the truth for twenty years!"
"I know you look down on me."
"This time, if it weren’t for me threatening the Spencer Family to stand up for our daughter, you wouldn’t have come to me in desperation and revealed Gia’s true parentage."
"But at least it’s not too late, we’re still young... there are plenty of good days to come."
"Don’t you agree?"
As Dylan Drexler spoke, he picked up a curl of Lillian Rivers’s hair and kissed it lightly.
But in Lillian Rivers’s heart, she couldn’t help but shrink back.
He still wants a future with her?
Dream on!
Lillian Rivers now regretted deeply in her heart.
Initially, she left The Grant Family angrily just to stand up for Gia, wanting to handle it personally as Mrs. Grant, forcing The Spencer Family to accept Gia.
After all, how could Trey Spencer take advantage of Gia and get away with it?
With Gia’s reputation ruined, The Spencer Family was the best choice and outcome.
Theodore thought it was shameful and just wanted to send their daughter abroad.
Lillian Rivers couldn’t bear to let Gia Grant suffer or swallow her pride.
However, the situation spiraled out of control.
The Spencer Family actually refused!
With no other choice, she bit the bullet and sought out Dylan Drexler, now well-connected and powerful in Ardis, hoping he’d intervene with The Spencer Family.
Yet, this step turned out to be a grave mistake.
Her past scandals were exposed in The Grant Family.
The secret of her daughter’s paternity, hidden for twenty years, was also revealed...
And she still had to keep playing along with Dylan Drexler, that despicable man...
Once she gets the things from the old woman, she must quickly sever ties with him.
Otherwise, what future would there be?
Lillian Rivers, from the bottom of her heart, looked down on someone like Dylan Drexler, of humble beginnings. There’s no way she’ll entangle with him for long.
She kept a cold face, suppressing her irritation as she pulled back her hair, "Let’s talk about the future later."
"For now, did you handle that thing for me?"
Dylan Drexler: "Why the rush?"
"Your daughter-in-law, crafty and elusive as she is, wasn’t she still caught by my men?"
"And The Thorne Family hasn’t come, have they..."
"I think the commotion at Phoenixia back then was all for show, Julian Thorne didn’t really care about her, otherwise he would have stormed that abandoned spot long ago."
Lillian Rivers: "What are you talking about?"
"What Thorne Family, Julian Thorne?"
"How is this related to The Thorne Family again?"
Dylan Drexler couldn’t help but sigh.
His beauty hadn’t faded, yet her mind was still as easy to deceive as back then.
Just a pure, foolish beauty!
No progress over the years.
Especially fleeing from The Grant Family this time and rushing straight to Phoenixia to find him, was she afraid the whole of Ardis wouldn’t know she was tangled up with someone of bad repute like him?
But it doesn’t matter.
Anyway, The Grant Family will never take her back.
Without The Grant Family, and The Rivers Family long past its prime, who else could she turn to?
If she gets the item from that old woman, wouldn’t it be as good as his?
A clever calculation flashed in Dylan Drexler’s eyes.
He wanted both the woman and the item!
Once he made up his mind, he pulled Lillian Rivers by the waist, domineeringly enveloping her in his arms, "Then tell me, how would you like me to address you?"
"Should I call you Mrs. Grant in bed?"
"I can’t do that."
"Since you’re my daughter’s mom, you’re my woman. Or would you prefer... to be called darling?"
Lillian Rivers almost gagged.
She and Theodore Grant had never been so cheesy in their lifetime.
Theodore Grant’s tenderness didn’t belong to her.
And she was not the kind of woman who liked clinginess either.
"Alright, the time has come. I need to see how miserable those two women from The Grant Family who once humiliated me to the point I couldn’t lift my head are now."
"It’s time they kneel at my feet, holding onto my feet, begging me humbly!"
Saying this, Lillian Rivers forcefully broke free from Dylan Drexler’s embrace.
Then she arrogantly lifted her chin slightly, stepping out in her sky-high heels.
When she arrived at Gia Grant’s room, Gia was throwing a tantrum and refused to eat.
Seeing Lillian Rivers come in, Gia quickly stepped forward and pleaded, "Mom, let’s go home."
"I don’t want to be here; I don’t want to be this person’s daughter!"
"Boo hoo... Mom, I miss Dad, I miss my brother, I even miss Grandma..."
Lillian Rivers saw her like this, and her face turned livid with rage.
She reached out with her long finger and forcefully poked Gia’s forehead: "You useless thing, do you think they still want you now?"
"If they wanted you, they wouldn’t have sent you abroad and now pay no attention to you!"
"Especially your dad, he must hate you so much now; give up on that idea!"
Gia cried, "What about my brother?"
"At least he’s still my real brother, isn’t he..."
Mentioning her son, Lillian Rivers’ face turned even darker: "He’s even more heartless!"
"That day in the hospital, when you and I were humiliated like that, he just watched on apathetically. We are the closest people to him; even if we were somewhat wrong, shouldn’t he stand by our side and support us?"
"Now your dad has brought an illegitimate son back; where does he fit in that home?"
"For The Grant Family, he has chilled my heart."
Lillian Rivers was a bit heartbroken.
But she understood that Austin Grant had to fight for it.
So she only complained a few words but didn’t truly resent her son.
Gia, however, thought it was real.
She couldn’t accept it and shouted, "Why must I bear the mistakes you adults made? Why did your betrayal to Dad cause me to fall into hell—"
"I have nothing left."
"I became an illegitimate daughter, the daughter of someone insignificant and lowly—"
"I hate you, boo hoo—"
Lillian Rivers angrily slapped her.
"I am your mother!"
"Without this mistake, would you even exist?"
"Really stupid!"
She was furious, her chest heaving, watching Gia cry sadly with her face in her hands, unable to bear it.
Seems like she needed to let her witness some cruel things.
"Take her with us!"
Lillian Rivers took Gia with her, slipping out into the night, accompanied personally by Dylan Drexler, to the abandoned construction site.
Just as they were halfway there, an employee called Dylan Drexler: "Boss, we’ve captured the young master from The Grants!"
"Should we take him to the construction site too?"
This young master from The Grants was, of course, Austin Grant.
Dylan Drexler had long wanted to capture him as well, but his men hadn’t found a good opportunity.
Now it was all coming together.
Dylan Drexler glanced at the two women in the back seat, a smile forming on his lips: "Bring him along."
Lillian Rivers and Gia were still unaware, and when they arrived at the construction site, both looked around disdainfully at the surroundings.
Especially Gia, who didn’t want to take another step inside.
But Lillian Rivers said, "Don’t you hate Vivian Sinclair the most? Tonight, you can deal with her as you please."
"She’s right inside; whether you go in or not is up to you!"
With that, Lillian Rivers took the lead, following Dylan Drexler inside.
Dylan Drexler looked back at Gia, a teasing smile at the corners of his mouth: "Raised into a greenhouse flower by The Grants."
"If you grew up by my side, you certainly wouldn’t be so fragile."
Fragile?
A greenhouse flower?
She absolutely wasn’t!
Dad always taught her to be strong and brave.
Her brother cherished and protected her. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
It was her own failure; she definitely wouldn’t disgrace The Grant Family!
Gia bit her lip and followed: "Who says?"
"I didn’t grow up by your side because I am a Grant!"
"What does that have to do with you?"
Saying this, she marched ahead angrily.
Dylan Drexler snorted, and Lillian Rivers said nothing.
The three of them went upstairs, and just as they were about to reach the third floor, Dylan Drexler suddenly stopped them.
"Wait."
He waved his hand, and three masks were immediately presented.
"This will make it more fun."
