My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88 

Loid, who was fond of Lily, not only helped her to enroll in Ember Creek but also showered her with money. Melanie, too, seemed to like Lily a lot despite her flaws. Melanie seemed to have set her mind that Lily was her future daughter–in–law 

Now, even the Class 15 students were fond of Lily. Shannon was driven crazy as she slowly lost all her possessions to Lily. She wouldn’t tolerate that. 

Hence, she bit the bullet and held Lily’s hand. Smiling, she remarked, “Lily, we’re family. Our family will be upset if they learn that we got into trouble at school. You’ve just gotten engaged to Loid, right? 

“He’ll be unhappy to learn about this conflict too. Ladmit that Shelby is in the wrong here. I’ll make her apologize to you. How does that sound?” 

Lily shook off Shannon’s hand with hostility. She questioned, “And how would you know what’s going on in Loid’s head?” 

Then, she added with a sarcastic smile, “Oh, right. He used to be your fiance, but I took him from you.” 

“Lily, that’s not what I meant I never said anything of that sort,” Shannon argued. 

Despite her resentment, she had to take a kind persona 

“That doesn’t matter” Lily spun around and stated into Shannon’s eyes. Putting her hands in her pockets, she towered over Shannon like a queen 

“This isn’t the first time I’ve seen the true colors of the Martinez family. Accusing me of stealing your fance? That’s nothing. I should count my blessings for not being accused of murder by your family” 

The look in Shannon’s eyes darkened. Suddenly, tears started falling down her cheeks. She wept pitifully “You harbor some serious misunderstandings toward our family” “What misunderstandings? chuckling, Lily revealed, “Your family came to beg my grandma in the hospital to send you to live with the Lauriers. Was that a misunderstanding too? 

Are you going to say that you have feelings for Loid, but I pulled some tricks and stole him from you?” 

Shannon gritted her teeth, feeling humiliated for being called out in public. 

Meanwhile, Lily fixed her unfeeling gaze on Shannon. “Do you need me to remind you that it was your mom who came to the countryside and begged me to marry Loid Laurier? “My biological mother, who abandoned me after birth, made me marry told in your place so that you wouldn’t have to marry a dying man. That happened fairly recently. Don’t you remember?” 

Shannon lifted her head and glowered at Lily. She thought, “Why does she have to air our duty laundry in front of our classmates? Is she trying to win their sympathy?” 

Lily continued, “Tm used to living an easy life. It’s uncharacteristic of me to fight for anything. I’m only wasting my time on you today because I need you to pass a message to your family–1, Lily Brooks, am in no way related to the Martinez family. I will bankrupt whoever tries to visit my grandma in the hospital ” 

Then, her eyes glimmered with a threatening look. “Don’t take my words lightly. I never joke around people I’m not close with. My grandma did suggest that you move to the Lauriers‘ place, though. If you want to move in with us, go ahead.” 

Shannon’s eyes lit up with delight. Julia’s idea seemed pretty effective. She advised Shannon to speak to Belinda, a surefire way of making Shannon move into Anmer Heights.
