My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 187

Liam looked at Lily as he fell deep into thought.

After a while, he said, "So, everything you've done before the Martinez family is just an act?"

Lily smiled as she patted Liam's shoulder. "Stay here and keep him company for a bit. We'll be leaving now."

She didn't answer Liam's question. She didn't need to.

…

In a luxurious villa in Bridgeport, a man in a suit was standing before the window. He was looking at the flowers blooming in the garden outside.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Someone walked in and said politely, "Sir."

"How goes the investigation?" the man asked as he looked at the sky. His gaze was cold and unfeeling.

"The guy we sent has committed suicide. One thing I can confirm is that Melanie has stopped breathing. I don't know how she was resurrected. The hospital kept that information a secret."

The man's subordinate paused for a moment before saying, "It must be as you guessed, sir. Loid's fiancée must be responsible for that feat. Melanie was revived after she went to the hospital. Rumors say that she passed out for three days after that."

The man smiled. "That should be the case. Loid is such a lucky man to have a fiancée with such amazing medical skills."

"Should I head to Lagersfield and capture Loid's fiancée?"

The man turned over and adjusted his collar nonchalantly. "Have you done a background check on her?"

"I did. Her name is Lily Brooks. She lived in the countryside with her grandmother since she was young. Her father went missing before she was born. Her mother abandoned her to marry a rich guy."

The subordinate paused for a moment before adding, "Her mother is the daughter-in-law of the Martinez family in Lagersfield. Lily was brought to Lagersfield to be married off in Shannon Martinez's stead.

"Shannon was the one who caught Loid Laurier's eye. But there were rumors about Loid being disfigured and not having long to live. So, Shannon was unwilling to marry him. So, Lily took her place."
