My Substitute Wife Is a Bigwig (Lily and Loid)

designed by the famous designer, Gabriel King. It’s a one-of-a-kind.” Another person added, “Not just that! Two years ago, this necklace was auctioned off for two billion dollars, but no one knew who bought it. Turns out it was Loid.” Someone said bitterly, “Loid gave such a valuable gift to this wild girl. What a waste!” As Shannon listened to the commotion, her expression darkened with jealousy. She felt her heart sink to her stomach. This unique, incredibly precious necklace should have been hers. She had personally delivered this opportunity to Lily. She clenched her fingers tightly and bit her lip. She could feel her heart bleeding. Even if Loid were disfigured and had only two years to live, as long as she was Mrs. Laurier, she would inherit his wealth. Even a tenth of it would be enough for her to live comfortably for several lifetimes. Moreover, the Laurier family had never said that she couldn’t 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
