My Substitute Wife Is a Bigwig (Lily Brooks and Loid Laurier)

Chapter 189 

Lily returned to Anmer Heights right after leaving the principal’s office. 

Loid was discussing something with Shaun. He turned around and saw Lily when he heard the sound of the door opening. 

“You’re early today.” 

Lily nodded. She was a little unhappy. “I have something to tend to.” 

She went upstairs right after she said that. 

Loid watched as she left. His expression darkened a little. It seemed like she also received news about the Weiss family’s auction. 

Shaun glanced at Lily. Then, he turned around to look at Loid and said, “Reports from Bridgeport say the prominent families in the city have been gathering information on Lily. 

“Although information about her has been hidden, some people were still able to pick up on something. She’ll be in great danger if they find out she’s Shadowbane.” 

Loid lit a cigarette and took a puff. He exhaled the smoke with a vicious look on his face. 

“Tell all of the members of the Stygian Network to come back.” 

Shaun was stunned. “All of them? What about Freega? Things have been quite chaotic there recently. Ken won’t be able to last much longer. Panther raids our warehouses every other day. If this keeps up, we won’t be able to maintain control of our turf.” 

“Then, let’s keep Panther occupied.” Loid narrowed his eyes. “Haven’t the International Police been looking for him? Have someone leak his whereabouts to Antoine. He probably wants Panther in cuffs pretty badly.” 

Shaun smiled.” That’s a great idea. We’ll deal with Panther after we’ve settled the matters in Bridgeport. But Panther works for Alchos. The Kobra Crew helps him cover his tracks every time. Antoine probably wouldn’t be able to capture him so easily.” 

“That’s not a problem. We just need to keep him busy.” Loid snuffed out his cigarette. 

“Alright. I’ll work on it now.” Shaun nodded. 

Loid nodded and turned to look at the stairs. “Buy one more plane ticket.” 

Shaun was shocked. “You’re bringing Lily to Bridgeport?” 

Loid looked at him and said slowly, “She’ll go either way.” 

He knew Lily’s personality too well. No one could convince her otherwise when she had made up her mind, especially when her grandmother’s and Jason’s lives were concerned. 

No one could stop her from getting to Bridgeport. So, he wouldn’t stop her either. 

“But have you thought about what would happen if she meets with your family? Knowing how she is, it’ll probably…” 

Shaun sighed. “Think carefully. Her angering the Laurier family isn’t even your main concern. What if the Lauriers cross her, and she breaks up with you?” 

Loid narrowed his eyes and stared daggers at Shaun. 

Shaun jumped in fright. He quickly said, “I’m just saying. Don’t take my words to heart.” 

Suddenly, Shaun received a text. He lowered his head to look and looked up again abruptly. 

Loid glanced at him. “What is it?” 

“Venom has arrived in Bridgeport,” Shaun said solemnly. 

Lily, who was walking down the stairs, froze in her tracks when she heard that. A glint appeared in her eyes. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Loid got up and said coldly, “Tell Daniel to bring the car. We’ll head to Bridgeport right away.” 

He turned around and noticed Lily walking down the stairs. He went over to her and pulled her into his arms. “Why don’t we go to Bridgeport today?” 

Lily looked at him in shock. “You’re coming, too?“; 

She only heard Shaun saying that Venom had arrived in Bridgeport. She hadn’t heard what Loid had said before that. 

“Yeah. We’ll go right now.” Loid’s attitude was gentler when he was with Lily. 

Lily nodded without saying anything. 

Daniel soon arrived with the car. Everyone got in, and they set off for Bridgeport. 

While they were on the road, Lily took out her phone and sent Elijah a text. “Take out all the funds and transfer them to me.” She soon received a reply. “Understood. I’ll get it done immediately
