Chapter 727: Chapter 730: Collapse (Extra 2)
Madam Lucas is dead?
Madam Lucas is dead!
Lily Gray couldn’t believe it. The old lady, who she had always regarded as a role model and the main pillar, was gone just like that.
She took two steps back, her vision blurring, almost fainting.
“Young Lady, you must hold on.” Sebastian Lucas VII quickly supported her.
If it were someone else, they might have cried out in grief and said something heartbreaking to Lily Gray.
But Sebastian Lucas VII was different.
He held Lily’s arm with one hand, his eyes filled with sadness and determination.
“Young Lady, you mustn’t fall at this time. Madam Lucas has suddenly passed away, and there are many things that need you to do. Madam is too gentle; Mr. Lucas is not here, and Madam Lucas is gone. The main family can’t be without a pillar. Young Lady, you must be strong. It’s all up to you now.”
Upon hearing this, Lily Gray looked bewildered, “Ethan…Yes, there’s Ethan. Notify Ethan quickly, Samuel Mckinley told me that Ethan’s only in there as a temporary measure, and he can come out…”
“It’s no use.” Sebastian shook his head, “Mr. Lucas was afraid that you would worry, so he had us say that. Young Lady, although Mr. Lucas is fine in there, it’s not that easy to get him out.”
Larry Scott may have left, but the people under him still report to him.
They didn’t know when a new officer would be assigned from the military department, then release Mr. Lucas.
“How can…Does that mean if Larry Scott doesn’t open his mouth, Ethan won’t be able to return?”
Sebastian Lucas VII lowered his eyes, “Mr. Lucas will come out, but it won’t be that fast.”
“What should we do for Madam Lucas’s seventh-day mourning?”
Sebastian was silent.
“What should the Lucas family do?”
At Lily Gray’s words, Sebastian’s expression grew even darker.
Seeing his reaction, the last bit of light in Lily Gray’s eyes was finally swallowed up by darkness, bit by bit.
After a long while, she said.
“I understand. You go take care of Madam Lucas’s affairs first, and I’ll contact you later.”
Sebastian nodded, although he felt something was off about the young lady.
But right now, there were still many things waiting for him to handle outside, so he didn’t have time to think too much about it.
“Young lady, please tell Madam to restrain her grief and take care of her health. We will handle Madam Lucas’s affairs.”
Lily Gray nodded numbly and sent Sebastian away.
She didn’t go to Emily Taylor but returned to her room directly.

The teachings of the old lady were still vivid in her memory.
Such a vibrant life had just vanished like that.
“Larry Scott…” Lily Gray sat on the bed, holding her cell phone with her right hand shaking uncontrollably.
She couldn’t imagine that a soldier could do such a thing.
It was her fault for underestimating her enemy.
It was all her fault. Madam Gray was right; perhaps she was indeed a harbinger of disaster.
She had caused the death of Mr. and Mrs. Gray, and now, she was bringing disaster to the Lucas family.
It was all because of her…
Tears rolled down her cheeks, and Lily Gray struggled with her thoughts.
Never before had she felt her faith collapse as it did now.
Even when Madam Gray scolded her, she never doubted herself.
But now…
What did Larry Scott do to Madam Lucas, who was so kind and charitable? She was merely defending herself!
Lily Gray went crazy and angry. However, she painfully discovered that she was powerless to fight back against Larry Scott.
Larry Scott was right. She was dragging the Lucas family down. She was a burden to them.
If it weren’t for her, Ethan Wilson wouldn’t have any problems. Madam Lucas wouldn’t have any issues. If she continued like this, maybe Emily Taylor and Ben Lucas…
No, Ben Lucas mustn’t be harmed!
[Author’s Note] That’s it for today, plus two more chapters. Because writing this part is tough, my state of mind isn’t right. This part is essential, and I don’t want to deal with it carelessly. I’ll continue tomorrow. All right, goodnight, mwah~ (Spoiler alert, Larry Scott is the good guy, no need to be scared)
