Chapter 523: Chapter 526: Start Investigating the Events of That Year (1)

Joan Wellington’s character never changed, unless it was during her time in M Country when she bumped into Hannah Ford and developed what you could call a “friendship”.

She might still act like she did back then.

Bearing resentment towards Hannah Ford.

“In other words, Hannah Ford is blackmailing Lily’s husband with the favor he owes her?” Skye Brown recalled Dylan Wellington’s behavior towards Hannah Ford, which made her even more sure.

“No wonder my brother does not like Hannah Ford. When he said Aidan Lucas doesn’t like Hannah Ford, I thought he was just making excuses for Aidan. Now it seems he was telling the truth…”

“Skye, Hannah probably wouldn’t deliberately blackmail Brother Ethan. From what I heard, it was because she saved Brother Ethan’s life that he owes her.”

“What age do we live in? Who still repays a life-saving grace with their body?”

Getting angry, Skye Brown slaps her hand onto the table, “Lily, you have to clarify this with Aidan. If it is true, you must make him break up with that woman.”

“Skye, Aidan did mention this to me yesterday. He did say that Hannah did him a favor. And I accidentally ran into Aidan and Hannah before. His attitude towards her seemed very intimate, but I always felt something was off.”

Lily Gray remembered the time when Aidan Lucas was offering his arm to Hannah Ford, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed.

“That’s right, I remember now!”

“When I ran into Aidan Lucas and Hannah Ford, they were clearly walking away from each other. But the moment I turned my head, Aidan Lucas suddenly drew very close to Hannah. At that moment… I was just too upset, I didn’t notice something was off.”

“I remember… Hannah Ford’s face, it was a look of surprise as if they were not usually so intimate.”

Upon hearing Lily Gray’s words, Joan Wellington also fervently nods her head.

“Lily, you’re right. While Ethan almost married Hannah, they never had close contact. Ethan hardly ever initiates, Hannah is usually the one softly and weakly offering her arm to Ethan.”

Joan Wellington had once been love rivals with Hannah Ford, so she’s particularly concerned with Hannah’s actions.

“So that’s what it was…” Lily Gray was more certain of the suspicions deep in her heart.

“Why do you think Aidan Lucas would do this? If he really doesn’t like Hannah Ford as he claimed, then why does he deliberately treat her well?”

“That’s easy. He wants to make you jealous.” Skye Brown said.

Joan Wellington also nodded, “Yes, I also think so.”

Lily Gray thought their words made sense, but she also felt something was off.

It was indeed possible that Aidan Lucas wanted to make her jealous.

But he could have straight-up told her about it.

If it is simply a matter of him owing her a life-saving favor, it makes no sense for Aidan Lucas to hide it from her.

Yesterday, at Aidan Lucas’s place, he personally admitted to her that he owed Hannah Ford.

That’s not a secret. There must be something else he’s not saying.

Lily Gray abruptly stood up, “Skye, Joan, I want to see Dylan Wellington!”

*

“If you needed something, sister-in-law, you could have called instead of coming over personally.”

Dylan Wellington rushed home from work, upon seeing Lily Gray he was enthusiastic.

But he was complaining inwardly.

These two spouses quarreled. Last night, he was drinking from dusk till dawn with Aidan Lucas, listening to his troubles.

And now Lily Gray is at his doorstep the very next day.

It was both Skye Brown and Joan Wellington who phoned him to come home.

Sigh, it was truly a predicament. He just hopes that Lily Gray didn’t come to ask about “that person.”

Except for that, he was willing to avow about anything else.
