“Lily… you mean…”
“Yes.” Lily Gray nodded, “Vivian Walters was totally fine when my grandmother was in charge of the Gray family. But when it was my turn to take over, she started causing troubles.”
“Lately, isn’t she creating public opinion, intending to stand against the Gray family? My grandmother came over today, bringing along a large group of reporters, among which some happen to have a close relationship with Vivian Walters. Tell me, how many coincidences can there be in this world?”
After hearing Lily Gray’s words, Lena Hammond also agreed with her reasoning.
“You’re right, but… I still don’t understand, why do you think Vivian Walters sabotaged your marriage with Austin Lucas based on this?”
Lily Gray did not state it explicitly, but Lena is a smart person, with just one sentence, she knew who Lily was suspecting.
“It’s simple.” Lily Gray led Lena into the office.
While they were walking, she couldn’t help but sigh.
How naive she was back then, never suspecting her best friend.
“Actually, Vivian Walters’ actions were not clean, it’s just that I have never thought about it before. Lena… do you know? Before Austin Lucas and 1 got engaged, every time he came to the Gray family, if Milly Gray was also there, after a while, Vivian Walters would just happen to come and visit me.”
At that time, just before their engagement, her mother’s health had already started to decline.
Most of the time, Mrs. Gray was at home resting.
At that time, the Gray family did not dare to completely break with them, and Milly Gray often came to visit her aunt.
Austin Lucas was in urgent need of Mrs. Gray speaking up for him in front of Madam Lucas.
So, he visited quite often.
At that time, Lily Gray had never thought about it from other perspectives.
But now, every time Austin Lucas came, if Milly Gray happened to be there, Vivian Walters would just come to visit her soon.
How many coincidences can there be in the world?
If no one was leaking information, why did Vivian Walters happen to run into Austin Lucas every time she came?
Especially a few times when it rained, Austin Lucas even kindly offered to give Milly Gray and Vivian Walters a ride home.
It’s funny how she was only wary of Milly Gray who had always tried to snatch her things.
She even had Vivian Walters watch out for Milly for her.
But she forgot to keep an eye on her closest friend.
“That makes sense.” Lena nodded in realization, “No wonder when the decision-making power of the Gray family was snatched by Madam Gray, Vivian Walters, as your friend, not only wasn’t oppressed, but also received the best resources from the Gray family during that period. Even when I proposed Vivian Walters for ‘The Tale of The Beloved Mistress’, Madam Gray and Rowena Gray, who are usually picky, did not stop her.”
After hearing Lena’s words, the coldness in Lily Gray’s eyes deepened.
“Lena, you have a wide network in the industry… there is something I would like to ask for your help.”
Lily Gray leaned closer to Lena’s ear and whispered her idea to her.

Not long after Lena left, Lily Gray received an unexpected call.
“Lily, surprise! 1 bet you’re surprised, I’m back!” A long-missed voice full of energy came from the other end of the phone.
“Is that… Skye?!”
“Yes, it’s me! Lily, I’m back, aren’t you excited? Are you free tonight? Let’s hang out!”
Skye Brown, her best friend, had lost contact since she went abroad to study. Now that she suddenly came back, Lily Gray naturally agreed to meet her without a second thought.
“Oh, and do you want to invite Vivian? I changed my cell phone and don’t have her number. If you want to invite her, can you let her know, Lily?”
After Skye went abroad, she changed her cell phone, and the only number she remembered was Lily Gray’s.
Upon hearing Vivian’s name, Lily Gray hesitated for a moment, “No need, she’s been busy recently.”
Not wanting to bring bad vibes by mentioning Vivian Walters when her best friend just came back, Lily Gray didn’t say anything in the end.
She just made a plan with Skye, to meet at 7 o’clock in the evening at the most famous hotpot restaurant in A City..
