My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 188

"Go ahead." John glanced at Lily and hesitated for a moment, but he didn't reject her request.

She was the one that brought Class 18 to the top. He didn't have a reason not to let her take the call. That was a privilege she rightfully deserved.

Lily went to the washroom. She turned on a voice changer before she took the call. "Speak."

"The Weiss family will be auctioning the Crimson Leaf on Saturday. When are you coming to Bridgeport? I'll go get you." Elliot's voice was a little cold.

Lily frowned. "Why so sudden?"

Saturday? That was in two more days.

"This is the latest information. A while ago, someone went to the Weiss Residence and tried to take the Crimson Leaf from them. They didn't want to hold on to it anymore, so they decided to auction it off."

"Understood. I'll head to Bridgeport tomorrow."

Lily hung up and went to the principal's office.

"Mr. Woodley." Lily walked into the office and greeted Joseph politely.

Joseph got up frantically and said, "Come. Take a seat."

Lily nodded and sat down across from Joseph.

"Why have you come to me at this hour? Is something wrong?" Joseph asked gently as he poured out a glass of water for Lily.

Lily had been a student of Ember Creek High School for over two months. Before that, she had only come to the principal's office once, which was during the first day of school.

"I want to take a few days off school," Lily said slowly.

"You only need to speak to your homeroom teacher about it. There's no need to talk to me about that, right?" Joseph asked in confusion.

"There's another thing I want to talk about." Lily pursed her lips in hesitation.
