Actually, it wasn’t surprising that Michelle Carter thought that way. The blame lies on Zara Lucas for not clarifying the situation when she got home.
Previously at Seven-star King’s Palace, Zara Lucas had lost face and was pinned down by security with a rag stuffed in her mouth.
Having suffered such humiliation, she didn’t dare to tell her family.
The reason she didn’t dare to tell her family wasn’t because she felt guilty, but because she was afraid that everyone would find out that the female lead in the popular online video was her, Zara Lucas.
It was a coincidence that on that day in the hotel, a passer-by happened to catch her antics on video, including her struggle with the security guard who had pinned her down and stuffed a rag in her mouth.
The video’s title was “Seven-star King’s Palace Says ‘No’ to the Nouveau Riche!”
The incident went viral online, with people picking apart everything from her jewelry and clothes to her atrocious behavior and disheveled appearance.
Fortunately, Zara Lucas had struggled violently, so her hair and makeup were a mess, and the angle of the video didn’t capture her face directly.
As long as she didn’t say anything, even Michelle Carter might not be able to recognize her as the female lead in the video.
Therefore, for the sake of her socialite appearance, Zara Lucas naturally didn’t dare to tell anyone what had happened that day.
As a result, Michelle Carter didn’t know that Lily Gray was already married, and thought that those rumors were true.
Michelle Carter had been sarcastic and teasing behind Lily Gray for a while, and when Lily didn’t respond, she thought Lily was feeling guilty.
Michelle Carter was used to scolding Lily Gray and went on a verbal rampage, even pointing a finger at Lily’s head and cussing at her.
Austin Lucas watched his mother’s tirade against Lily Gray with a cold, indifferent expression and didn’t even blink.
If it weren’t for the fact that the time and place were different, this scene seemed just like the one before their divorce.
In Austin Lucas’ mansion, Michelle Carter would treat Lily Gray like this, while Austin would just coldly watch from the sidelines.
Michelle Carter was so used to bossing around Lily Gray that she didn’t realize when she crossed the line, and when Lily didn’t respond, she aggressively pinched Lily Gray’s arm.
“All– ”
Lily Gray could no longer endure it and instinctively shook off Michelle’s hand, causing Michelle, who was wearing high heels, to stumble backward.
Lily Gray turned around and said coldly to Michelle Carter, “Lady, I’m doing you a favor by not getting angry because of your age, but don’t push me!”
Originally, Austin Lucas, who had been standing in the elevator with no presence, suddenly stepped in.
With his left hand, he caught Michelle as she stumbled backward, and with his right hand, he reached forward to grab the wrist of Lily Gray, who had just shaken off Michelle’s hand.
“Lily Gray, don’t go too far!”
As he said this, his back teeth were clenched, as if he would have punched her in the face if she were not a woman.
Lily Gray scoffed, “Ha, I’m going too far? Austin Lucas, are you deaf or blind to not know who’s crossing the line here?!”
“So what if my mom scolded you a few times? She’s your elder… Besides, if you don’t want to be criticized, then watch your own actions. You’ve done so many disgusting and filthy things…”
At this point, he suddenly stopped speaking and looked down at his own right hand.
That right hand was tightly gripping Lily Gray’s right wrist.
“You… a woman like you… disgust me.” After saying this, he actually let go of Lily Gray’s wrist.
However, her wrist was already bruised from his grip.
Lily Gray stared at Austin Lucas and suddenly let out a cold laugh..
