Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love-Chapter 859 - 862: When Aidan Lucas Was Drugged (3)
Chapter 859: Chapter 862: When Aidan Lucas Was Drugged (3)
For this reason, he had always tolerated Mrs. and Miss Gray.
Not only did he refrain from driving the noisy Grays away, but given their knowledge of Lily Gray’s personal matters, he pretended not to be aware of the true intentions behind their drunken demeanor.
Aidan Lucas did the same.
Unable to communicate with his son, he could only use Milly Gray to help him out.
Even though he was aware that Milly’s gaze toward him was impure, that the greed in Rowena’s eyes and Henry King’s expectations were no different from those of the woman named Tara Hammond back then.
But for Ben Lucas’s sake, he turned a blind eye.
...
And Milly, she precisely exploited the misunderstandings and the lack of knowledge between father and son.
She maneuvered skillfully between them, effortlessly gaining the benefits she desired.
What’s more ironic is that the reason Aidan Lucas tolerated Milly
was not only to have her act as a bridge between himself and his son but also because he always thought that his son liked Milly very much and really listened to her.
In fact, what Milly said could persuade Ben to come back was nothing but a deceit towards Aidan Lucas.
No matter how capable she was, she could only wave the banner of the late Lily Gray.
She herself had never won the recognition or affection of Ben Lucas.
To make Ben listen to her was easier said than done.
What she said about persuading Ben to come back during the summer holidays and meet with Aidan Lucas was nothing more than her little tricks.
This was a tactic that had never failed her.
As long as she told Ben that she had found more relics of Lily Gray at the Gray family old house,
for that reason, Ben would surely return.
And Aidan Lucas was unaware of the actual relationship between Milly and Ben Lucas, which turned out to be like this.
He responded to Milly with a cold attitude, sipping on red wine a few times but barely touching the cutlery.
He didn’t like Milly, nor did he trust her.
He wouldn’t touch these dishes.
The only thing he was willing to touch was the red wine that the waiter had opened in front of him.

In the private room opposite, Sadie, who had left in a flurry, returned just as hurriedly.
The moment she entered the private room, she excitedly closed the door.
“Alice, OMG! Guess what I just found out when I went over there!!!”
Lily responded with lackluster interest, “What did you find?”
Knowing that Aidan Lucas had left work early just to meet with another woman,
she no longer had any interest in hearing whatever news Sadie had gathered.
“I found out that there’s something wrong with the waitstaff here, the cutlery in the opposite private room has been tampered with!”
“Tampered with, is Ethan in danger?!”
Despite saying she would give up and stop clinging to him, hearing about his danger still made Lily unconsciously concerned.
“Hehe, what’s this, you just said you wouldn’t chase after him anymore, and now you can’t help but be concerned, right?”
Sadie winked and teased her, “But don’t worry, what those people used wasn’t anything lethal. It’s just a bit of ‘blue poison’, you see—”
Sadie raised her left hand to show Lily the ring on her little finger.
A diamond was originally set in the promise ring on her pinky finger.
But now, the transparent diamond emitted a faint blue shimmer.
“You know, we’ve been trained since we were little to recognize most poisons and aphrodisiacs. But this blue poison is an aphrodisiac that was newly developed in recent years. The organization was worried we girls might be affected while on missions, so each of us was equipped with a crystal that can identify these new types of aphrodisiacs.
