Chapter 460: Chapter 463: Joan Wellington Wants to Tell Her Secret

Sebastian Lucas VII didn’t dare to follow Lily Gray into the elevator, so he could only use the intercom to call his subordinates on the floor below to follow behind her.

Lily Gray was led by Joan Wellington to the first-floor hall.

She seemed to be in a daze, as the conversation she had just eavesdropped on kept replaying in her mind.

Joan Wellington appeared to be saying something by her ear.

But Lily Gray didn’t hear a single word.

“Where should we have the video call?” Joan Wellington looked around with Lily Gray in tow.

She had originally wanted to take Lily Gray to a corner of the first-floor coffee shop, but when they got there, she found that it wasn’t very secluded either.

She craned her neck, looking back and forth, just hoping to finish the task Hannah Ford had given her as soon as possible.

As long as Hannah could successfully video call with Lily, her involvement in their conflicts would be over.

And it could be considered as compensation for the harm she had once inflicted on Hannah.

“Or should we go to the back garden? There are fewer people there…”

Joan Wellington asked Lily again, and, seeing that she didn’t object, took it as an agreement.

Joan led Lily through the hotel lobby and towards the porch leading to the back garden.

Just as they reached the porch, they were stopped by someone.

“Miss Wellington, the Seventh Master has ordered us not to let the young lady wander around.”

Joan Wellington frowned at the bodyguards in black blocking her way, “We’re not wandering around, just walking in the garden. We want to have a heart-to-heart talk. Is that not allowed?”

“Well…” the other party hesitated, “Sorry, Miss Wellington, please don’t make it difficult for us.”

Joan knew that the Lucas family’s servants would never listen to outsiders.

She could only turn to Lily for help, leaning close to her ear and speaking softly, “Lily, I just want to find a place where there are no people to tell you a secret. Can you ask the Lucas family’s bodyguards to let us go?”

Lily, who was still in a daze, suddenly sobered up when she heard the words ‘Lucas family.’

She looked at the bodyguards standing in front of them, feeling a surge of disgust.

“Let us pass… Miss Wellington and I have something to discuss.”

“Young Lady, we…”

“What? Am I invisible to you? Is my word completely powerless in the Lucas family!?”

Lily Gray rarely became angry at the servants.

But now, at this moment.

She was suppressing the pain of betrayal and the anger of knowing the truth.

Now, she didn’t even want to see a single member of the Lucas family!

The burly men in black guarding the porch exchanged glances, not daring to say a word.

When Lily ordered them to move, they could only comply.

Seeing this, Joan quickly led Lily out of the porch.

Two bodyguards were about to follow them into the garden,

But just as they took a step, they heard Lily’s cold voice, “If you still consider me your lady, none of you are to follow!”

The burly men in black looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Then, they had no choice but to quietly retreat.

After all, the young lady had spoken such harsh words.

The rules of the Lucas family demanded absolute obedience.

So they had no choice but to give up.

Joan led Lily into the garden.

They deliberately found a secluded corner to sit down on a wooden chair together.

Before Joan sat down, she hesitated for a moment.

But, thinking of Hannah, she gritted her teeth and said, “Lily, thank you for being willing to talk with me. I know I can be obstinate and capricious, not very likable. But ever since you got together with Brother Ethan, I’ve seen the change in him.
