My Substitute Wife Is a Bigwig (Lily Brooks and Loid Laurier)

Chapter 51 

Casually, Loid took Lilly’s satchel and her hand. His voice was gentle as he asked, “Are you hungry? 

He said nothing about what had just happened. 

“A little,” Lily answered nonchalantly. It was as if the incident earlier had never occurred. 

“Let’s go get some food.” 

Liby nodded in silence and followed Lold into the car. 

Behind her, lan was completely stunned. 

While in the car, Shaun had a lot of questions he was itching to ask Lily. However, he did not know if he should. 

The withering looks Lily had given him scared him. It felt as if he was actually becoming dumber with each stupid question he asked. 

It was quiet in the ear, and no one spoke. Loid did not ask Lily about the incident earlier either. 

the car moved for a while, Lily suddenly looked up at Loid solemnly. “Do you know anyone who’s on the verge of death or terminally ill?” 

Loid raised his brow and replied, “Yes.” 

Hearing that, Shaun asked curiously. “Why are you asking 

Lily leaned languidly against the car window. She gave an impassive response. “I want to make money” 

“Make money?” “Shaun’s voice grew louder. “You have at least a few billion dollars on your black card, don’t you? Why do you want to make more?! 

Lily slightly lifted her gaze. Her lashes were long, and her clear eyes gave the impression that she could see through a person 

The comer of her mouth moved, and she said languidly, “I don’t have enough.” 

For some reason, Shaun had always found it difficult to look her in the eye. He shifted his gaze, “You have a net worth of a couple of billion dollars, but you still don’t have enough money?” 

Lily glanced at him wordlessly. 

Shaun fixed her with a quizzical look. “What do you need the money for?” 

“To buy stuff” Lily hung her head. She was not in high spirits, perhaps because of the suited men. 

“So that’s why.” Shaun pulled out a card from his pocket. “I’ve got money. Use this for now.” 

Once he finished speaking, he received an icy look. Then, he heard Loid’s cold voice. “Do you think I don’t have enough?” 

Startled, Shaun smiled sheepishly and put his card away. “It slipped my mind that she’s your wife.” 

Then, he looked at Lilly and sad, “If you need money, just tell Loid. I’m sure he has more than enough!” 

Load had personal assets worth over tens of billions of dollars. Shaun assumed Lily wouldn’t need too much. He was pretty sure Loid had enough to support her for the rest of her 

However, Shaun was proven wrong the next second. He heard Lily ask in an unhurried manner, “Do you have 70 billion dollars?” 

After giving it some thought, Lily decided that it would be best for her to prepare more money. That way, even if the price reached tens of billions of dollars during the auction, she would have enough. 

shaun was stunned into silence. 

He thought, “Are you planning to eat the money? How long will it take for you to finish yo billion dollars?” 

Shaun pulled in a deep breath and asked tentatively, “What is it that’s so expensive?” 

He felt that being near Lily was bad for his heart. Every time she spoke, she would say something shocking. 

Lily pressed two fingers against her temples. “A plant.” 

“The bell?” Shaun was almost certain he had misheard. A plant worth 70 billion dollars was mindblowing 

Lold turned his head, giving Lily a sidelong glance. She lacked her edge and appeared listless. Her expression was somewhat glam. 

It was rare for Loid to see her worried. His gaze darkened. 

He surmised that the plant she mentioned was not typical.
