Chapter 769: Chapter 772: Three Years Later
Three years later
…
Ever since finding his daughter, Duke Redington had turned over many of his family’s internal businesses to David Redington in order to have more time with his wife, daughter, and two grandchildren.
On one hand, he wanted to have more time for himself.
On the other hand, he felt that David was in the way and would compete for attention with him.
It took Duke Redington great effort to find his precious daughter, and he couldn’t let her brother steal the limelight.
David, who had already taken over half of the family’s businesses, was still elegantly noble.
His experience in the business world had not only given him more insight, but it also added to his charm as a leader.
However, over the years, he had become increasingly busy.
But no matter how busy he was, on a day like today, David would definitely return to the castle, no matter where in the world he was.
Because today was his beloved sister Lily Redington’s 26th birthday.
Since realizing Aidan Lucas’s motives for his actions three years ago, Lily had rarely softened her stance and changed her name.
From then on, as Aidan Lucas had wished, there was no more Lily Gray in the world.
Far away in Europe, however, there was a woman named Lily Redington, or Alice Redington.
“Young Master, the Duke and Duchess are riding with the two little darlings in the back. Miss, she hasn’t returned yet.”
The current butler of the castle was Annabella, who took the gift from the young master’s hand.
It was heavy, and the girl always loved the gifts that the young master brought back from his trips.
This time, it was probably an antique from some country.
“Where is Lily? She is the protagonist of tonight’s banquet, so how could she not be back by now?”
“Miss went to the base. She said the banquet would go on as planned, and she would be back before the birthday party starts.”
David frowned slightly…
It was the base again.
*
Because the Reddington family privately controlled the entire European mafia and were developing military-industrial enterprises, they had always had a special base within the family for cultivating talents.
Lily got up early today and went straight to the base for an hour of physical training.
Then she practiced shooting for another hour, and was now participating in the base’s internal fighting challenge.
After defeating two challengers in a row, in the third round, her opponent was the base’s most powerful female assassin, Sadie.
Sadie was dressed in black, her red-brown hair was neatly tied behind her, accentuating her deep, three-dimensional European and American features.
She was a beautiful woman who could always quickly captivate her target and eliminate her opponent during missions.
Her figure was curvy, but her movements were extremely agile and powerful.
Each dodge and attack was clean and decisive, without any delay or hesitation.
In a sense, she was Lily’s teacher.
“Miss,” Sadie looked at Lily standing opposite her and squinted slightly.
“You know me. Once I enter the challenge, I can’t be lenient. Miss’s opponent is me, and the chances of winning are slim. It’s better to withdraw voluntarily.”
Since coming to the base for training two and a half years ago, all of Lily’s fighting skills were taught by Sadie.
Lily knew she wasn’t lying.
“No need.”
Standing opposite her, dressed in a black tight-fitting suit, Lily Gray smiled slightly.
“Call me Alice, Sadie… you haven’t been back for three months. I advise you, don’t underestimate me.”
The beautiful oriental doll raised her eyebrows slightly, and her charming peach blossom eyes deliberately revealed a hint of provocation.
