Chapter 190

Loid turned around and happened to see Lily’s texts. His eyes darkened a little as he said hoarsely, “You can use my money.”

She smiled at him and said, “I’ll feel better if I use my own money.”

Loid felt like there was a lump in his throat. He looked at her with an aggrieved expression. “I’m your fiancé.”

“Yeah. You’re just my fiancé,” Lily said with a faint smile.

Loid was at a loss for words. He didn’t feel like talking to her anymore.

The car arrived outside the courtyard of the Laurier Residence after four hours.

The Laurier Residence is the most expensive private residential building in Bridgeport. It consisted of several different villas, and the design was akin to a palace. It was grand and

luxurious.

Loid held Lily’s hand as she stepped out of the car. Shaun stayed in the car. He still needed to replace Venom’s whereabouts.

Lord stopped at the entrance and looked at Lily. “When you’re inside, do not reveal your medical skills under any circumstances.”

Lily raised an eyebrow and looked at him with an amused expression. “Mr. Laurier, is your home a very dangerous place?”

Loid frowned. “Pretty much. Anyway, you have to hide your medical skills. Neil will be here soon. If anything happens, just let him take care of it.”

After pausing for a while, he said solemnly, “Do not reveal your skills even if I’m the one who’s injured.”

Lily narrowed her eyes as her demeanor became cold. She looked at Loid and then withdrew her gaze expressionlessly. “Let’s head in.”

Daniel pressed the doorbell, and a middle–aged woman soon opened the door.

The woman smiled when she saw Loid. “You’re back, Mr. Loid. Please come in. Mr. Laurier Senior, your uncles, and aunts have been waiting for you since they learned that you were coming home.”

The Laurier family was massive. Arthur Laurier had five sons and two daughters. Stefan was Arthur’s third son, while Loid was his seventh grandchild. The maids in the

household addressed Loid as Mr. Loid.

“Hi, Ms. Evans,” Loid greeted Darla Evans calmly. Then, he led Lily into the house.

It was very lively in the living room of the Laurier Residence,

Some people were making small talk, and some were talking about business. There was even someone playing the piano. It was very noisy.

Lily frowned as soon as she walked in. She didn’t like noisy places.

The room went silent the moment Loid and Lily entered.

A middle–aged woman walked over and held Loid’s hand. She said sweetly, “Loid, you’re really cured! That’s great! We’ve all been so anxious since you fell sick. Can you tell us who the miracle doctor who healed you was?”

As soon as the woman said that, she briefly shifted her gaze toward Lily before looking away again.

Loid quietly withdrew his hand from her grasp. He sneered and said, “‘Aunt Nora, are you really glad that I’m healed?”

The woman was Loid’s aunt, Nora Laurier. She was 45 years old and was married to the Albott family’s heir, one of the Hidden Families.

Backed by the Albott family’s immense wealth, Nora became extremely arrogant and thought everyone else was inferior to her.

A few years ago, the Albott family helped her son become the mayor of Hearthdale. That only made her look down on the rest of the Laurier family even more.

Every time she returned home, she would boast about the Albott family and her son.

Nora’s expression stiffened for a while when she heard what Loid said. “What are you saying? Of course, I’m happy to see that you’re healed.”

“Really?” Loid said with narrowed eyes. A glint flashed in his eyes before he withdrew his gaze.

“Loid, you’re finally home!” a slender woman suddenly rushed over to hug Loid. Her voice was soft and sweet.

Lily narrowed her eyes immediately. She turned to look at Loid and saw him spreading his arms with a stiff expression. He was clearly trying to keep his distance from that woman.

Lily smiled impishly. She grabbed the woman by the collar and pulled her away.

“I’m sorry, but he is a clean freak. He doesn’t like physical contact with others.”
