My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 152

Lily didn't deny Shaun's statement. She admitted that she was cruel, indeed. Having lived through dire circumstances since she was 15, she was well aware that her survival depended on cruelty. If she lacked brutality, others would only be more cruel to her.

The only good thing about her was that she still hadn't lost all sense of humanity. Her ruthlessness was only targeted at those who were wicked.

After sending Lily back to Anmer Heights, Shaun and Daniel left for the hospital promptly. Stefan and Melanie took their leave upon their arrival. Soon, only Loid, Shaun, and Daniel remained in the ward.

Shaun pulled up a chair and sat by Loid's bedside. Overwhelmed with elation, he began, "Loid, I've got some big news!"

Loid arched his brows, and his expression turned sullen. How could Shaun have the nerve to focus on the news when he'd been badly injured?

Shaun gave no heed to him, nonetheless. He continued in haste, "Lily is the legendary Reese! And she's exceptionally skilled. She could even immobilize people with her needles—she literally immobilized 500 people in a few moves!"

He sprang up excitedly and rambled on, "Immobilizing people! Can you imagine that? She sealed their acupoints, just like what you see in movies. Those people couldn't even budge an inch! She incapacitated them on her own and had them deported back to their separate cities.

"Also, the Maynards took on Lily today. They tried to assassinate Madam Hutchinson, but they were thrown into the dogfighting pit instead. She wanted them to live the rest of their lives in despair."

As Shaun spoke, he became incoherent with excitement. He thought Loid was already a genius. Having joined the troop at the age of 16 and established a business empire when he was 19, Loid remained a big shot in several countries. No one dared to mess with him except for the Hidden Families.

Yet, Lily blew Shaun's mind. At the age of only 19, she amazed him with her superb medical skills and exceptional combat skills. She was also the ruler of the underground forces of two cities. At this point, her growth rivaled Loid's.

Shaun once boasted that he could beat Lily. Now, he figured he'd probably be disabled before he even made a move in their fight. Patting his chest in perpetual fear, he was thankful that Lily wasn't his foe. Otherwise, she'd be an extremely formidable opponent, even more so than the Hidden Families.

Loid narrowed his eyes. But soon, a smirk flashed across his face.
