My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 216

Daniel and Shaun had made their way to the auction hall, but Lily did not ask questions. They returned right as she had wrapped up a mobile game round.

Daniel went up to Loid and whispered, "Mr. Quinn is in the neighboring box."

Freezing up, Loid had a gleam in his eyes, and his expression shifted. Lily picked up on his discomfort and frowned. "What's wrong?"

They were interrupted by a knock on the door.

Daniel turned to Loid to seek his approval. He opened the door after receiving a nod from Loid.

When the door opened, Lily saw a good-looking man standing out there. He had a charm about him, especially in his bedazzling eyes.

Resting her head in her hand, she stole a few glances at him before turning away. He might be hot, but he exuded hostility. He was without a doubt a Venom Man. Men like him did not interest her at all.

Loid observed her response and quietly smirked. Soon, he wiped away the look on his face and casually greeted the visitor, "It's been a while, Mr. Quinn."

Turning to Lily, Loid introduced Jaiden to her, "This is Jaiden Quinn, the heir of the Quinn family."

Lily grunted coolly. She glanced at Jaiden before staring down at the message on her phone: "Fuck! Why didn't you tell me you were in Bridgeport? That's too much."

She texted a reply without much emotion: "I'll leave after I settle some affairs. Aren't you in Emerald Delta, still?"

"You're not the only one who can return to Bridgeport, you know?"

Stunned, she immediately got the hint and irritably put her cap back on her head. She then hissed at him. "Don't look at me!"

Jaiden, taken aback by the annoyance in her tone, shifted his focus to Loid. "Mr. Laurier, I heard you were in Box No. 1, and I thought of dropping by to say hi." A pause later, he prodded, "Mr. Laurier, are you bidding for the Redushil?"

Loid slowly tapped his fingers on the tabletop as he fixed an amused expression on Jaiden. "Mr. Quinn, you're here for the Redushil too, aren't you?"

Jaiden stiffened before pursing his lips. He pleaded, "Mr. Laurier, could you consider letting me have it? It's very important to me. I'll owe you a favor."

"That's not possible!" Lily interjected in a cold and hostile voice before Loid could reply to Jaiden.
