Chapter 1577: Chapter 1580: Emily Taylor’s Annoyance and Regret (Additional Chapter 2)

Sebastian Lucas VII took his subordinates and ’escorted’ the eight fallen bodyguards to the hospital.

They had to ensure that although these eight people were in excruciating pain, they would all be safe and sound.

Only in this way could they prevent Mr. Lucas from using this incident as an excuse to attack the Lucas family.

As for Winston, his attitude was different now compared to the casual indifference he displayed just a moment ago.

He hurried towards Lily, taking the tie from her hand to wipe his hands.

"Miss, now that the matter is resolved, I’ll be heading back first," said Winston, his ice-blue eyes filled with urgency.

He had promised to buy snacks for Joan on his way out and was a bit delayed; he would have to make a detour to get them now.

Lily twinged slightly at her temple, knowing full well that this "devoted husband" must be eager to leave for Joan’s sake.

Lily didn’t insist on keeping Winston, only asking him to pass a message to Joan Wellington, saying she would visit her and the newborn baby as soon as she was free.

As everyone else left, the vast living room finally seemed a bit emptier.

This was Ellie’s first reunion with Lily after more than four years.

The moment she saw Lily, her eyes filled with tears, and upon seeing the two adorable kids, the tears began to shimmer even more.

Lily, of course, also longed to catch up with Ellie, but there were too many things happening right now, and she simply had no time to sit down for small talk.

"Ellie, please take Abbie, Lulu, and Paul Davidson downstairs. I have something to discuss with Lily and Sebastian Lucas VII."

Emily Taylor noticed Lily’s urgency; though she yearned to see her grandson, her son’s affairs took precedence now.

...

After the kids and the troublemaker were taken away by Ellie, only Lily, Emily Taylor, and Sebastian Lucas VII were left in the living room.

Sebastian Lucas VII was the first to speak: "Madam, Young Lady, I apologize for the shock you experienced just now. They also had people lying in ambush outside, and it took me and Benjamin Lucas IX a little extra time to take care of them after we parked the car. I’m sorry."

"Sebastian, this isn’t your fault."

Emily Taylor, consumed by extreme regret, confessed her inner guilt to Lily and Sebastian.

"This matter, in fact, was all caused by me. As you know, after my big brother was expelled from The Taylors because of that scandal, he still had a lot of support and influence in the board of directors, even though he was ousted from the family."

"Recently, he sent Paul Davidson to stay with me, claiming that Milly Gray wasn’t home, and Rowena Gray had... had passed away. He said he, as a man, couldn’t take good care of the kid, and the conflict between adults should not involve the child. Thinking it over, I agreed, since Paul Davidson indeed is the sole heir of the Taylor Group. So, I relented and agreed to take care of the child for him."

"Who would have known... After a while, he suddenly told me Milly Gray had returned and wanted to take the child back. I... out of selfishness, I felt that Milly wasn’t a suitable woman and didn’t want to hand Paul Davidson over to her, so I kept him with me against his will."

At this point, Emily Taylor showed a hint of annoyance.

"I was afraid they would come to me to take the child back, and I didn’t want them to disturb you all at the Manor in B City, so I purposely told Ethan Wilson that I took Paul Davidson back to A City to visit relatives. In fact, I knew he and Milly were in B City, so I wanted to avoid them."

"But somehow they learned of my whereabouts and knew I had returned to A City. Milly Gray started coming over often, wanting to take Paul Davidson back."

"At first, I refused, not even allowing them to enter the Lucas family mansion. But a few days ago, my big brother called me, saying Milly Gray missed her son so much, and he convinced me to just let Milly see him, without taking him away."

"He also told me that Milly’s status was awkward, and it would be better not to let too many people know her real relationship with Paul Davidson. I thought it made sense since we, The Taylors, had such a scandal, indeed it should not be made public, so..."

At this point, Emily Taylor couldn’t lift her head with the weight of her guilt.

"So, Mom, you followed Simon Taylor’s advice and withdrew most of the security from the Courtyard?" Lily sighed softly to herself, hardly believing that today’s drama was caused by such a ruckus.
