My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 136

Lily did not press further. Daniel then drove her back to Anmer Heights. The journey took some time, so Lily closed her eyes for a moment.

After a while, the car suddenly jerked to a stop. Taken by surprise, Lily jolted forward, almost hitting the seat in front of her. Thankfully, she regained her balance quickly.

She frowned. But before she could say anything, Daniel said gravely, "We ran into some trouble, Ms. Brooks. Stay in the car. Don't come out."

Only then did Lily notice that the car was surrounded by a group of people who were all holding metal pipes. She narrowed her eyes but stayed put as Daniel had told her to.

Even though she'd never seen Daniel fight before, she knew that he wasn't weak. He should be able to stand his ground against these ruffians.

From the car, she watched as Daniel exchanged a few words with the group before the fighting started.

Daniel was good. However… Not far away, several vans sped over. Suddenly, another bigger group of ruffians rushed toward them.

Daniel's expression changed. He retreated to the car and said in a panic, "Ms. Brooks, take the car and leave now. I'll take care of these people."

Lily drummed her fingers against the chair for a few moments. Then, she opened the door and got out of the car.

Daniel panicked. "Ms. Brooks, what are you doing? Just leave! We can't fight all of these people!"

He knew Lily could fight better than him. But, even so, she was only one person. They wouldn't be able to fight so many people at once.

Lily shot him a cold look. "Get back."

Daniel refused to listen to her. He stood in front of her, shielding her as best as he could.

The large group of men soon arrived. Their leader stared at Lily for a few moments. Once he was sure that he had the right person, he smiled. "You weren't easy to corner, you know."

Before this, Loid was always by Lily's side, so they couldn't do anything to her. When their spy told them that Loid was absent today, they took the opportunity and sent out everyone.

It was a little bit extra to send so many people after a high schooler, but they couldn't defy orders.
