My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 149

At the Maynard residence, Anthony had been anticipating his subordinates' return for the entire night. He wasn't anxious at first, but his anxiety grew the longer he waited for them.

However, when no news came back when the clock struck midnight, he finally lost his cool.

He called his men right away. "Go find out what's going on over there! Why haven't we received any updates? Does it take this long to deal with a high school student?"

Before he ended his call, he heard a deafening noise from outside.

"Damn it!" Anthony hung up and went downstairs. "Who the heck is that in the middle of the night?"

Also startled by the noise, Heather followed him downstairs. She was shocked to discover a huge crowd downstairs.

Equally dumbfounded, Anthony realized that they weren't his men. He was no match if someone were to attack him now.

"Scott!" he thundered. "Take Heather away first."

Before Scott could respond, a crisp voice came from the door.

"No one is leaving tonight." The crowd dispersed, and a petite girl ambled in. She was dressed in a black hoodie and a black cap with the brim pressed low, making it hard for others to discern her features.

Heather's expression instantly darkened. She wasn't dead! Having never met Lily, Anthony scowled at her for a long time.

"Who are you? Why are you causing a scene at my house?"

He wasn't a fool. Judging by the drastic difference in numbers now, he couldn't guarantee their escape. The most he could do was to stall and wait for his men to return.
