My Substitute Wife Is a Bigwig (Lily Brooks and Loid Laurier)
Chapter 234

There was only one person in the world who had managed to create a Poison Pill. However, that person had been missing for years. Apparently, they used a Stargaza to create the Poison Pill. Previously, Jaiden guessed that Lily was skilled in medicine. However, that assumption was never verified. Now, Augustus basically confirmed that Lily was highly skilled in medicine.

If Lily was indeed skilled, Jaiden wouldn't risk becoming enemies with her.

That was why he helped Loid.

Besides, when he was talking to Lily earlier on, he swiftly pricked his right arm and flung a droplet of his blood on her. She immediately dodged, and her expression turned serious. Just from that, he was certain that Lily was skilled in medicine.

However, he had already offended Lily with his actions. She was asking for his right arm and the entire assets of the Quinn family as payment.

Things became more troublesome.

"I don't have time to wait for your reply." Lily looked at Jaiden indifferently before boarding the car.

Loid followed after her.

On the other hand, Shaun quickly arrived with his subordinates. They changed the car tire, and the vehicle started moving again.

Once they were in the car, Shaun turned around and told Loid, "The Zucchas and the Wagners also participated in the attack apart from the other three families. However, they were subdued by me before they had the chance to make a move.

"The other families didn't do anything. They're probably waiting to see how the situation unfolds.

"We should return to Lagersfield City and use the Redushil soon. Otherwise, we won't be able to defeat all the Hidden Families if they choose to attack us together.

"Also, Ken told me that it's been pretty chaotic in Freeqa recently. The International Police have been causing trouble for them rather frequently. This might be the fault of those in Emerald Delta."

Loid rolled down the window and lit a cigarette. But after seeing Lily frown, he extinguished the flame and closed the window.

He paused for a while before looking at Lily. "How many days do you need to finish your work?"

Since the Redushil had been auctioned off and was with them, it was dangerous for them to stay in Bridgeport. Loid wouldn't be worried if he were by himself, but he had to ensure the safety of Lily as well. Though Lily was stubborn and refused his help, he still didn't want her to remain in Bridgeport.

Besides, Belinda needed the Redushil, so they had to return home soon.

However, ever since Lily arrived at Bridgeport, she had been busy working. She still had to meet Qillian the next day. And if the Quinns were willing to give her all their assets, she had to help them too.

A lot of time would be wasted because of that.

At the same time, since they weren't in Lagersfield City, those from the Hidden Families would send their subordinates there. Something bad would certainly happen in the hospital.

Lily thought for a while and replied, "We'll return to Lagersfield City tomorrow. I'll contact the Weiss family and tell them that I'll be heading over now."

At first, she planned to stay in Bridgeport for a few more days because she had important things to do. However, she had to return to Lagersfield City as soon as possible.

Loid and her were worried about Belinda even though Elijah was guarding her because the hospital wasn't perfectly safe.

Previously, Lily hadn't interacted with the Hidden Families before, so she didn't know how powerful they were. After the auction, she realized that they were much wealthier and more capable than the underground forces.

Elijah and the other subordinates were personally trained by Lily and were her trump cards. Initially, she thought that they were powerful enough. However, she realized that they weren't strong enough to help her take over all the underground forces in the country.

She had to go back quickly and treat Belinda. After that, she would figure out her next step.

"Okay." Loid held her hand and gave some instructions to Daniel.
