My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 135

"I didn't! I didn't!" Shannon roared.

She'd just… She'd just given Loid some aphrodisiacs. Lily, on the other hand, just got some hallucinogens.

"No?" Loid stood up and approached her slowly. He looked down on her haughtily. "We found traces of poison in the water you served us at dinner earlier. Would you like to see the report?"

Shannon stared at him in disbelief. "How can that be? I just gave you some hallucinogens. It wasn't poison!"

"So you admit that you did try to drug us." Loid's voice dropped a few decibels. At that moment, his anger made him look like the devil incarnated.

Terrified, Shannon scrambled away from him until her mind caught up with her. She scrambled back again and tugged on Loid's trouser leg.

"I'm… I'm sorry. I was wrong. I just love you so much, Loid. I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I wouldn't ever hurt anyone! Please forgive me. I won't do it again."

She now knew that it wasn't Lily who had set her up. It was Loid! How could he be so cruel? He would give her away to another man just so that he wouldn't have to sleep with her!

Was she that undesirable to the point that Loid wanted to ruin her reputation?

Loid kicked her away expressionlessly. "You don't deserve my forgiveness."

Susan couldn't take it anymore. She fell to her knees before Loid. "Loid, it's all my fault. I should have taught her better. I'll take her place in any punishment you dole out to her. Please let her go."

She pulled Shannon into her arms, shielding her with her body, and continued hurriedly, "I promise I will watch her better from now on. I won't let her do anything like this again."

"Your promises mean nothing to me." Loid had no desire to speak to her.

He turned to the rest of the Martinez family. "Show's over, Mrs. Goldberg. Take your granddaughter and leave. Stop polluting the air in my house."
