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

Chapter 191 

The woman staggered and almost lost her balance because Lily pulled her by the collar. 

Loid looked at Lily and smiled. Was she jealous? It was a good sign. 

The woman steadied herself and glared at Lily. “Hey? Who do you think you are? Why are you so rude? Do you know who I am?” 

Lily raised an eyebrow and glanced at Loid as if interrogating him about his relationship with the woman. 

Loid shrugged at her with an innocent expression. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Lily accepted that. She turned to look at the woman while her hands were stuffed in her pockets. Then, she said nonchalantly, “I have no idea.” 

Her words angered the woman even more. The woman went up to Loid and tried to hold his hand, but Lily appeared before Loid instantly. 

The woman stomped her leg in frustration when she didn’t get what she wanted. 

“Loid, is this person a bodyguard you’ve just hired? She’s so rude, acting like this in Laurier Residence. Please put her in her place.” 

“I can’t do that. Why don’t you give it a try?” Loid asked with a smile. He seemed very happy because Lily was getting jealous over him. 

Lily glanced at him coldly and walked to the side. “Go ahead and hug her then, Mr. Laurier.” 

Loid’s lips twitched. He had overdone it. Lily was getting angry. 

“Loid…” 

The woman’s face flushed when she noticed that Loid was exchanging glances with Lily. 

Before she could say anything else, someone called out to her, “Yolanda, stop it. Loid just got home. Let him catch his breath.” 

A woman came over and pulled Yolanda Albott away. She glanced at Lily, then shifted her gaze toward Loid. “Please don’t hold it against her. She has been spoiled rotten by me. She also hasn’t seen you in a long time. That’s why she acted out.” 

Loid looked at the woman expressionlessly. 

At that moment, the rest of the Lauriers came over and started to make small talk with Loid. All of them had fake smiles on their faces. Barely any of them actually meant what they said. 

They all noticed Lily, but none talked to her or asked why she was there. They unanimously treated her as a stranger. Some of them also thought she was Loid’s bodyguard. 

Lily stood in place without saying a word. Then, Daniel walked over to her and explained softly, “Ms. Brooks, that woman is the sister–in–law of Loid’s aunt. Her name is Joanne Albott. 

“She is the youngest daughter of the main branch of the Albott family and holds a high status within the family.” 

Lily nodded. She could see that Joanne was a very arrogant woman. She probably looked down on everyone she came across. 

Even Nora had to act submissively before her. 

“That woman is Yolanda Albott. She’s Joanne’s only daughter and the favorite granddaughter of the Albott family,” Daniel said as he pointed at the woman who had tried to hug Loid a moment ago. 

Then, he added, “Ms. Albott used to visit Laurier Residence frequently when she was a child. She spent a lot of time following Loid around. 

“Initially, the Albott family wanted to arrange a marriage between her and Loid. But then they heard that Loid was poisoned and disfigured. So, they called it off.” 

Daniel was afraid that Lily might have a misunderstanding. So, he explained, “But please don’t misunderstand. Loid doesn’t have any feelings for her. 

“It’s just that things are very complicated in the Laurier family. It’s hard to explain everything to you all at once. All you need to know is that Loid’s just playing along on the 

surface.” 

Lily nodded. Then, she looked at Loid. 

He was surrounded by a bunch of people. He had an annoyed expression on his face but was still responding to them expressionlessly.
