Martinez family. So, the schooling issue had to be handled by the Martinez family themselves. At this thought, Susan internally cursed Lily several times over. Lily wasn’t exceptionally talented, but she insisted on attending a prestigious school like Ember Creek High School. Lily had no self-awareness, which drove Susan mad. Susan thought she must’ve been crazy to suggest that Lily marry Loid instead of Shannon. The plan worked, but it left her anxious and frustrated every day. “Yes, we won’t trouble you with this, Mr. Laurier. I’ll find a way for Lily to attend school,” Liam agreed with Susan. After all, Loid and Lily were only engaged. It wouldn’t be proper to bother the Laurier family over such a trivial matter. The Martinez family’s reputation was already falling. It would get worse if word got out that they relied on the Laurier family for their children’s education. Liam glanced at Lily, feeling a headache. He had already reached out to every possible contact within his capabilities, but no one was willing to accept Lily. Getting her into Ember Creek High School was proving to be quite troublesome. “Alright.” Loid didn’t say more. He turned to Lily and asked, “Are your things packed?” “Yes,” Lily said, pointing to a single suitcase behind her. “Just that one?” Loid seemed genuinely surprised. He expected at least four suitcases. Even if Lily herself didn’t have much, he thought the Martinez family would have bought her more stuff. The sight of just one suitcase made his expression darken. He couldn’t believe his fiancée barely had any possessions. Lily said lazily while adjusting her baseball cap, “Yeah, I’m poor.” Susan felt a surge of anger, but she swallowed it down after seeing Loid’s stern expression. She had bought a lot of new clothes and various daily necessities for Lily, but Lily had simply thrown them out. It was hard to tell where Lily had picked up her stubborn and tough attitude. “Can we go now?” Lily asked nonchalantly while looking down. Loid lifted his gaze, glanced at Susan and the others briefly, and then looked away indifferently. “Daniel.” Daniel responded. He picked up Lily’s suitcase and headed out. Lily only addressed Liam as they left while ignoring Susan and Shannon. … Anmer Heights was a luxurious villa residence in Lagersfield. It took about half an hour to get there from Summerskye Villa. Once in the car, Lily fell asleep and used her baseball cap to cover her face. The Martinez family had many rules, including waking up at 8:00 am sharp, which had disrupted her sleep since arriving in Lagersfield. She had always had trouble sleeping and had been relying on medication for years. With no one to disturb her now, she slept peacefully. Loid sat beside her, looking at her. Her face was hidden under the cap. She seemed quite peaceful now that she wasn’t on guard around the Martinez family. When a passing car honked, she squirmed a little. Even though her face was covered, Loid could sense her irritation. “Loid, your fiancée is quite interesting!” Shaun glanced at the backseat through the rearview mirror. Seeing Lily asleep, he spoke with a playful tone. “A girl from the countryside who looks like she’s never seen the world but seems to know everything. She didn’t even blink at that two billion dollar necklace.” Shaun clicked his tongue. “Either she’s really naïve of the world or she’s faking it. I believe it’s the latter.” Loid leaned back in his seat. He had an ambiguous look in his eyes. He lifted his long fingers to remove the mask on his face and rested his arm on the car window, tapping it gently. After a long while, his thin lips curved slightly. “Indeed, she’s quite interesting.” “But there’s something I’m curious about.” Shaun turned around, propping his hands on the seat. “She said Joseph gave her a recommendation letter for Ember Creek High School. Is that true?” Shaun glanced at the still-sleeping Lily. “This girl doesn’t look like someone who lies.” He had been around many pretentious people, so he had a knack for seeing through them. However, he couldn’t get a read on Lily. He had met Lily twice. Sometimes, she was lazy; sometimes, she was cold.
