My Substitute Wife Is a Bigwig (Lily Brooks and Loid Laurier)
Chapter 198

Chapter 198

Loid put one of his hands on the couch. He held Lily’s hand with his other hand and looked at the game on her phone. He pointed to a spot on the screen. Lily dropped a block there and eliminated a row of blocks.

Nora started breathing heavily in anger when she saw that. She glared at Lily before looking away.

She looked at Loid as she tried her best to suppress her anger. “I was just too worried about Dad.”

“If I didn’t call Neil over just now, Grandpa would have died from the poison because you were wasting time by arguing with me.”

Loid glared at Nora and said coldly, “If that had happened, You wouldn’t have the chance to lecture my fiancée now.”

Nora’s heart skipped a beat, “I… I…”

Loid noticed the anxiety in her eyes. He shot her a cold glance before withdrawing his gaze.

Everyone else in the living room witnessed what happened between Loid and Nora, but they chose to remain silent.

Loid looked calm, but everyone knew he was very vicious when he lost his temper.

If that happened, losing their rights to the Laurier family’s assets wouldn’t even be their biggest problem. They could even lose their lives.

They had tested his patience when he returned. So, they stayed put at that moment. No one dared to challenge him anymore.

Lily looked at the silent Lauriers in the living room. She smiled impishly and said, “Impressive, Mr. Laurier.”

Loid’s expression immediately softened when she said that. He patted her head gently and gave her a warm smile.

“You’re more impressive than me, Ms. Brooks. I’ll still be under your care.”

Lily patted him on the shoulder grandly. “No problem!”

Loid was a little speechless. He was just joking.

Lily completed a level of the game she was playing and lost the mood to play. So, she put away her phone. Then, she leaned on Loid’s shoulder and closed her eyes to rest.

The trip to Bridgeport had tired her out.

Loid noticed the fatigue on her face and felt bad for her. He pulled her into his arms and said, “Take a nap if you’re tired. I’ll wake you up later.”

Lily nodded and didn’t say anything else.

Yolanda, who was sitting a short distance from them, clenched her fists when she saw that. The jealousy in her eyes was overflowing.

Lily sensed that someone was glaring at her from behind. She turned around and saw Yolanda’s venomous gaze. She raised an eyebrow, turned around, and continued napping.

Neil came out of Arthur’s room after 20 minutes. His forehead was filled with sweat, and he looked very weak.

The Lauriers quickly went up to him. “How’s Mr. Laurier Senior doing?”

Neil ignored all of them and walked straight to Loid. “Mr. Laurier Senior is safe now. But fighting the poison took a lot out of him. He’ll need to rest for a long time to recover.”

The Lauriers sighed in relief.

Nora looked at Arthur’s room and said, “I’ll go take a look at Dad.”

Neil stopped her before she could enter the room. “Mr. Laurier Senior said he wants to rest. He asked all of you to go home.”

“What is the meaning of this? That’s my dad in there, I can’t leave without making sure he is okay.” Nora was a little agitated.

“That’s right. We have to make sure Dad is fine with our own eyes,” Marvin agreed.
