Chapter 726: Chapter 729: Bad News Arrives (Extra 1)
“What happened!?”
Lily Gray and Emily Taylor stood up at the same time.
The blast just now seemed not far away, and it sounded like an explosion.
Their nerves, just relaxed moments ago, suddenly tensed up again.
As Ellie was heading towards the door, Lily Gray had a quicker reaction than Emily Taylor. She immediately sent someone to look after the young master.
For some reason, even though Larry Scott had already left, she had an intuition that his unplayed hand was about to come.
“Mom, I want to go out and have a look.” She couldn’t wait any longer, her heart was hanging by a thread, and she was very anxious.
“Wait a little longer. That sound just now… something must have happened outside. It might not be safe for us to go out…”
“Wait a moment, mom… where is grandma?” Lily Gray suddenly remembered that she hadn’t seen Madam Lucas since she went downstairs.
“The old lady went to the company, don’t worry. She’s been gone for a while; she won’t be in any trouble.”
Madam Lucas left 15 minutes ago. The sound just now was neither far nor near. It shoudn’t have anything to do with her.
Just as Lily Gray breathed a sigh of relief, she saw Ellie stumbling in from outside.
“No, not good… The car that the old lady was in exploded!”
“What!” Lily Gray’s face turned pale, “Is it certain that she was in the car?”
“It’s not yet certain. Sebastian Lucas VII is taking people there… but, but…”
Before Ellie could finish her sentence, there was a sudden noise behind her.
Lily Gray turned around and saw Emily Taylor heard the bad news and suddenly collapsed onto the sofa.
“Mom – hurry, hurry, go and call the doctor. Ellie, I’ll watch mom, I’ll go out to have a look…”

Lily Gray, forcing herself to stand on her weak legs, walked out of the mansion.
A thick black smoke was rising in the distance.
It was at the junction of Royal Serenity Avenue and another road.
From here, it would take only five minutes by car to reach that area. Madam Lucas had left 15 minutes ago, how could this…
Lily Gray tried to suppress the doubts in her heart and asked a servant, “Who sent Madam Lucas off today? Was it her usual driver?”
The servant she was asking had a pale face.
She shivered and said, “No, Madam Lucas’s driver suddenly had a stomachache, so Old Liam was put in as a temporary replacement. But Old Liam has been with the family for years, he even drove for Mr. Lucas before.”
Lily Gray knew Old Liam, although he wasn’t Aidan Lucas’s dedicated driver, he’d been with the Lucas family for many years.
No matter Aidan Lucas, Emily Taylor, or even herself had been picked up by Old Liam.
“Alright, I got it.” Lily Gray waved her hand and let the servant leave.
She took a deep breath, stood by the door, and leaned against a pillar at the door.
If she didn’t lean against something soon, she’d faint.
Outside the mansion was chaotic.
The courtyard looked normal, but all the servants of the Lucas family were hurried and looked panic-stricken.
Not far away, a group of burly men in black were guarding the iron gate.
Lily Gray watched all this, her heart sinking deeper and deeper.
On Madam Lucas’s side, unless a miracle happened, the situation was more likely to be grim than optimistic.
But she had to wait.
Even if there was just a slim chance, she had to wait for Sebastian Lucas VII to come back and tell her.
After ten minutes, Sebastian Lucas VII returned.
For the first time, Lily Gray saw grief on that expressionless face.
“Young Lady, it has been confirmed. There were only two bodies in the car, one belonged to Madam Lucas and the other to her bodyguard. Old Liam, the driver, escaped.”
