My Substitute Wife Is a Bigwig (Lily and Loid)

Loid’s voice rose slightly. It was just one word and then he fell silent. His eyes, hidden behind the mask, moved slightly. He looked at Julia, seemingly waiting for an explanation. Julia’s heart skipped a beat. “Please don’t misunderstand. Lily may not be related to the Martinez family by blood, but she’s the adopted daughter of our family. She’s just a part of the Martinez family as Shannon.” Shaun, who had been silent, suddenly laughed. It sounded somewhat mocking. “Is that so? How could an adopted daughter compare to an actual daughter of the Martinez? I think you know that Loid’s disfigured and only has two years to live, so you’re simply sending someone to fill that position.” With that, Shaun abruptly stopped laughing. His expression turned cold. “You have some nerve to try to trick us.” As soon as he said this, the Martinez family members were shocked and flustered. They quickly stood up. “We dare not trick you, Mr. Laurier.” Julia’s hands trembled, and her voice couldn’t stop shaking. “It’s just that we don’t have a daughter that’s of age, so we have no choice but to let Lily marry. If the Laurier family insists on Shannon marrying over, we’ll…” Julia glanced at Shannon and struggled to continue, “We’ll wait until Shannon turns 18 before letting her get engaged to you.” Deep down, Julia didn’t want Shannon to marry Loid. After all, Shannon was the best daughter in the Martinez family. Over the years, only Shannon could bring honor to the Martinez family besides Jason. With Jason gone, the future of the Martinez family would be dark without Shannon. However, the Laurier family specifically asked for Shannon, so Julia had no choice but to agree. Later, Susan suggested that Lily could replace Shannon. Julia thought it was a good solution, but unexpectedly, it angered Loid. “Hey! If you’re going to die, don’t bring trouble to the girl. Can’t you see she doesn’t want to become a widow?” Just as the Martinez family was in a state of panic, Lily, who had been sitting in her chair playing with her phone, suddenly looked up and said to Loid in a provocative tone. She sounded like she wanted to challenge him with her words. The Martinez family members were shocked by her words. Susan clenched her fists, furious. She scolded her, “What nonsense are you talking about? Who allowed you to speak? Get out!” Julia was also furious, but because Loid was there, she swallowed her anger. However, Shelby couldn’t hold back and pointed at Lily, reprimanding, “You country bumpkin, you just want to humiliate our family, don’t you? Get out of here right now. We don’t welcome you in the Martinez family.” At this point, the Martinez family could see that Loid didn’t want to marry Lily. They had been holding back their anger toward Lily, and it all imploded at this moment. All of them began to berate Lily, their words sharp and sarcastic. Loid lazily leaned back in his chair with his hands folded across his chest. There was a glint in his eyes as he stared at Lily, somewhat surprised. This woman hadn’t even glanced at him from the moment he entered. Even though the Martinez family trembled in fear before him, she showed no fear at all and was even playing with her phone the whole time. She was seemingly unaffected by everything happening in the room. Everyone around him was always trying to please
