My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 162

All five judges gave them the highest score possible.

The emcee announced excitedly, "Congratulations, Class 18! The highest score tonight goes to you!"

The entire Class 18 cheered. Lily's classmates, who had just danced with her, remained dazed even after they went down the stage.

After a very long time, Ian looked at Lily emotionally. "Lily, you… you… Is there anything you can't do?"

Lily merely responded with a casual glance. "There are many other things that I can't do."

Ian was in awe. "You could dance so well! Why didn't you join us? Class 18 should have just sent you to perform. You would have crushed everyone else!"

"I'm not interested," Lily replied coolly.

In recent years, Lily had many things to deal with. She had not managed to find the cure for the poison that afflicted Belinda. On top of that, she devoted a lot of energy to studying acupuncture. Extending her underground influence from Aeston to Bridgeport was an immensely difficult task too.

When she was busy, she would even work non-stop for a month. Previously, she had to investigate Jason's death and attend school. She had too much on her plate, and the pressure was overwhelming. Of course, she couldn't care less about a trivial event like the school's art festival.

"Fine." Ian knew Lily's temperament and didn't press her any further. "Anyway, if our class wins this round, it's all thanks to you."

Lily checked the time and said, "I have something to do. I'll be leaving."

Loid didn't come to pick her up from school that day. The Laurier family was hosting a banquet, so he had to stay home and handle the arrangements. Lily hadn't told him when she would return. She intended to go to the library to look for some medical books.

As she reached the school gate, someone called out to her. "Ms. Brooks?"

Lily turned around and nodded at the person. "Mr. Lane."

"I saw you dancing earlier. You've become even more impressive since I last saw you," Maxwell praised amiably.

He had come to Ember Creek High School for some business. As he was leaving, he passed by the school's field and saw Lily dancing. He stayed for a while to watch her.

"You flatter me," Lily replied humbly.
