Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 729: Chapter 732: The Truth Behind the Explosion

“Good, it seems you know your place.”

Larry Scott himself didn’t expect things to go this smoothly.

“You go to the Gray family and wait for me. My people will arrange to take you there. Remember, leave as soon as possible after seeing Aidan Lucas. It’s better for you to hide somewhere so that the Lucas family can’t easily find you. You know, even if I’m not in A City, I’ll also have people keeping an eye on every move the Lucas family makes.”

Lily Gray remained silent.

Of course, she knew. Even Old Liam could be bribed, she didn’t know how many informants Larry Scott had placed in the Lucas family.

After hanging up the phone, she sat on the bed for a while, calming her emotions, before she finally walked to the dressing table and opened the drawer.

A set of documents lay quietly inside.

…

On the other side, Larry Scott hung up the phone and dialed the internal line to his bodyguard captain, ordering him to investigate what happened in the Lucas family.

Larry Scott had just arrived at the military department in B City.

Although he was called back for investigation, his meritorious service and the number of his trusted followers in the military department meant that his actions were not restricted, nor as challenging as outsiders thought.

A moment later, there was a reply from the bodyguard captain.

“Commander, an hour ago, Madam Lucas’s car exploded. I have had people retrieve footage from the roadside surveillance cameras.”

“From the video, the driver suddenly ran out of the car after the car abruptly stopped on the side of the road. Subsequently, it seems that the vehicle’s door couldn’t be opened. The bodyguard in the back seat smashed the window to get out and took Madam Lucas out of the car. However, they had only walked a few steps, not far from the car when it exploded. Here are the photographs taken at the scene for your review.”

Larry Scott took the photos and examined them carefully.

After a while, the bodyguard captain saw a rare look of deep pain on the commander’s face.

Larry Scott finally understood why Lily Gray had reacted and behaved in such a way.

Madam Lucas, had ended up dying from the blast.

This news, not to mention Lily Gray, even Larry Scott had some difficulty accepting it.

Although he didn’t interact much with the Lucas family and even harbored hostility towards them recently, he had to admit that Madam Lucas was indeed an admirable woman.

Seeing Larry Scott remaining silent for a while, the bodyguard captain plucked up some courage to ask, “Commander, in that case, do we still need to…”

“Continue, we can’t let him out.” He was about to succeed, and he wasn’t about to allow himself to get soft now.

“Tell Lily Gray that whenever she leaves A City, that’s when I will let Aidan Lucas out. If she doesn’t want the old lady’s funeral to be without a grandson, she’d better move faster.”

Even though the death of Madam Lucas was shocking and saddening, Larry Scott did not plan to let Lily Gray off the hook.

Let her continue misunderstanding — once drawn, a bow has no turning back. He was past the point of no return.

On the other hand, Lily Gray quickly packed a few essentials and called Oliver Ford to pick her up.

After Emily Taylor fainted, she was resting in her room, while little Ben Lucas was taken by Ellie to Emily’s room to be looked after.

She knew she should bid them goodbye before leaving.

But she didn’t dare.

She couldn’t go.

She was afraid that after one glimpse, she would not bear to leave and would feel an irresistible urge to stay.

But … Larry Scott was insane. He was ruthless, daring to even kill Madam Lucas, let alone Ben and Emily Taylor.

Lily Gray couldn’t gamble anymore.

She had already caused the death of the old madam, she couldn’t continue to endanger her mother and Ben.

She stood in the living room, looking in the direction of Emily’s room for the last time.

Murmuring quietly, “Goodbye, Mom. Goodbye, Ben.”

Without any further delays, Lily Gray picked up a light purse and left Lucas’s house.
