My Substitute Wife Is a Bigwig (Lily and Loid)

and it caused her great discomfort. Hearing her most beloved daughter expressing regret for Lily made her fly into an uncontrollable rage. Frowning, Liam was about to rebuke Susan when Lily suddenly looked up. Her gaze was mischievous as she stared at Shannon. “Do you really want to go to the same school as me?” “Of course. If we’re at the same school, we can look out for each other,” Shannon replied sweetly. “Then I’ll go to Ember Creek High School,” Lily said. She put down her cutlery and turned to Liam. “You don’t need to worry about the school. I have a recommendation letter from the principal of Ember Creek High School.” Hearing this, Shannon froze, and her expression turned twisted. “Lily, do you even know who the principal of Ember Creek High School is?” She had only wanted to embarrass Lily but hadn’t expected her to brag so shamelessly. A recommendation letter from the principal? What a joke! Had living in the countryside made Lily’s brain dull? Susan also widened her eyes as if she had heard the most unbelievable thing in the world.

People from all over the country strived to get into Ember Creek High School, and many elite families would try to pull strings to get their children admitted. However, Joseph valued the quality of education so much that no one had ever managed to get in by getting special favors. What made Lily think she could get a recommendation letter from Joseph? Even Shannon had to take the exam and meet the requirements to get in. Liam’s expression nearly cracked. He had been accommodating toward Lily, but her current claim was too much to swallow. The atmosphere grew tense. Liam cleared his throat and said, “You might not be aware of the rules at Ember Creek High School. Mr. Woodly has never written a recommendation letter to any student.” He paused, then added, “Eureka High School is quite good too. Many students from there get into prestigious universities each year. If you work hard, you can do well too.” “Thank you, but I think Ember Creek High School is a
