My Substitute Wife Is a Bigwig (Lily Brooks and Loid Laurier)
Chapter 142

Chapter 142

These killings literally meant nothing to Lily. In fact, she rarely got into trouble as long as others didn’t provoke her. The Maynards had crossed the line though. They had to pay the price.

The door suddenly flung open just as she reached the door. One of her men entered, and he went up to her swiftly

“Reese, there are two people outside who want to meet you.”

“Who are they?” Lily was slightly surprised. Not many people could replace her here.

“I have no idea. One of them was severely injured and unconscious. They wanted to seek your help. Apparently, it seems like people have been going after them, so they fled to Lagersfield”

Lily fell silent for a moment. “Take them under our wing since they’re in Lagersfield errory now. Get some people to send them to the hospital, and also make sure they get home safely.”

“Noted, Sean said. He took his leave promptly

Lily also didn’t linger on any longer. She took the elevator with Sean, intending to leave for the ground Door

However, she saw an anxious Neil the moment she turned up at the door. She frowned, planning to ignore him in the end, she still approached him nonetheless, knowing that he was Loid’s subordinate.

“Why are you here?”

“Ms. Brooks?” Lold gaped at Lily “Why are you here?”

“I’m here on some business,” she replied nonchalantly.

Just then, Sean hurried over and cast a quizzical look at Nell. “Reese, they’re the ones who wanted to meet you.”

Loid was in the car, so Lily didn’t spot him. He narrowed his eyes upon hearing Sean’s remark. Looking at Nell, he questioned, “What’s going on?”

Neil was spiraling in turmoil. The way Sean addressed Lily let him gobsmacked. He froze, completely unaware of what Lily said

Reese? How could it be? Could he have misheard? How could Lily possibly be Reese? Reese was the king of the underground forces of Aeston and Lagersted City. How could Reese possibly be a 19–year–old?

This was absurd. He must’ve gotten it wrong.

“M–Ms. Brooks, what did he call you earlier? Nell asked. Eager to be reassured, he seemed to have forgotten about Loid, who was severely injured.

Lily’s expression turned sullen. “Answer my question! What happened? Don’t test my patience!” she snapped impatiently.

The chill in her voice seeped in to Neil’s bones, sending shivers down his spine. He sheddered and immediately replied, “Loid was poisoned, and he was also shot..”

Lily’s expression changed drastically. She yanked the door open before Nell even finished his sentence.

Loid’s breathing was labored, and his face had been drained of color. Lily reached out to take his pulse, and her expression turned grim. Damn it! He was literally hanging on by his last breath

Using her silver needles to stabilize his pulse, she glanced over at Neil shortly after.

“How did he get shot?”

“Um…” Neil hesitated, wondering whether he should tell Lily the truth. He nearly pissed his pants when he saw her expression.

Petrified, he blurted out, “We went to Aeston for business, but we bumped into our enemies when we were on our way back, Lold’s poison took effect just then, and we were no match for them. Loid also got shot to protect us!”

“Where’s Shaun?”

Three of them had gone, but only two of them came back. Where was Shaun?

Lily’s stance shifted. Although Sham could be slightly annoying at certain times, she’d already considered him one of her own. She would destroy anyone who dared to lay a finger on her people!

“He’s at the city pate. Dur enemies caught up to us…”
