My Substitute Wife Is a Bigwig (Lily and Loid)

remarry after Loid’s death. A few years later, she could still choose to remarry. But she had let the opportunity go. Shannon lowered her head, unwilling to look at the necklace. The more she looked at it, the more it pained her. Lily glanced at the necklace before closing the box under the envious gaze of others. Her expression remained calm as she looked at Loid. “Do you expect a gift in return?” The Martinez family was so infuriated by Lily’s indifference that they almost choked. It seemed she didn’t understand what was in her hands. Even if she didn’t, she should’ve heard from their loud exclamations, right? Why was she still so calm? From the moment Lily accepted the gift box, Loid had been watching her expressions. She showed no reaction at all. Was it because she didn’t know the necklace’s value or because she didn’t care about it? At this thought, Loid’s cold lips barely curled into a smile. He found her very interesting. “According to tradition, yes,” Loid said, looking down at Lily. “If you don’t have anything prepared, it’s fine.” “Is that so?” Lily’s stroked her chin thoughtfully. She didn’t have anything suitable to give as a gift. After some thought, Lily pulled out a small ceramic bottle from her pocket and shook out a tiny brown pill-like object. “Here, take this.” It seemed rather stingy to give only one. Loid stared at the unknown little pill and was unable to suppress his lips from twitching. This was truly unexpected. Seeing him hesitate, Lily raised an eyebrow. “You don’t like it?” With a cough, Loid took the item from her hand. “It’s quite nice.” Lily said, “My gifts are never subpar. Don’t be fooled by its size. This thing is quite valuable.” Lily thought for a moment and added seriously, “It’s worth more than your necklace.” The Martinez family was stunned when they saw Lily give Loid an unknown item. They stood there dumbfounded. Even Liam, who was usually patient with Lily, looked slightly bewildered. The Martinez family could have prepared one if she hadn’t prepared a gift for Loid. But what was she thinking, giving such a useless item to him? Did she even know what she was doing? “Lily!” Susan snapped out of her shock, unable to hold back her anger. “How much longer are you going to embarrass me? How could you give Loid this as a gift?” What the hell was that? Susan felt like she was about to be driven mad by Lily. Shelby, who already disliked Lily, couldn’t help but sneer. “A country bump—” But before finishing her sentence, she noticed Loid’s glare and stopped just in time. She quickly corrected herself, “Do you know how much this necklace costs?” Lily glanced at her indifferently. “Didn’t you just say it’s two billion dollars?” “Since you know that, why would you give Loid this in return? Is this thing worth two billion dollars? Lily, it’s not like the Martinez family can’t afford a proper gift. You can’t give such a shabby thing to embarrass Loid, right?” Shelby gloated. It would be best if Loid got offended and refused to marry Lily. Then, Lily would have no right to act arrogantly toward the Martinez family. Julia was also furious but managed to suppress her anger.
