My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily)

Chapter 65

As more students gathered to watch, almost all of them started nitpicking and gossiping about Lily.

only a few students truly admired Lily for removing Jack, the troublemaker, from Ember Creek. Those people chose not to participate in the gossip.

"Everyone shut the hell up!" lan yelled angrily. "Whoever dares to talk nonsense again, I'll rip their mouths of!"

The noisy crowd instantly fell silent.

Jan stared icily at the crowd before him and asked, "Who spoke ill of Lily just now?"

Several timid girls with modest family backgrounds glanced at each other and quickly lowered their heads.

When Jack was around, people weren't very afraid of tan. Now that Jack was out of the picture, lan had become the top dog at Ember Creek, and these people feared lan's retaliation However, some weren't afraid of an, such as Shelby

"lan, you're a member of the Fletcher family, after all. How could you acknowledge a country girl as your boss? Do you not care about the reputation of the Fletcher family at all? shelby scoffed and remarked, "Right, lan. With your notorious reputation as a spoiled brat echoing throughout Lagersfield and your bottom-ranking academic performance, you've long disgraced the Fletcher family."

Instead of getting angry, lan responded to Shelby with a smile, "Shelby, you really have the audacity to show off your elite status in front of me, huh? You're just Shannon's sidekick at best. You're so clueless that if she ever sold you out, you'd still thank her for it. I can't be bothered to deal with you!"

A displeased look crossed Shannon's face as she demanded, "Jam, what do you mean by that?”

Jan sneered and looked at Shannon with a mocking gaze. "We're all born and raised in Lagersfield We know each other inside out, so drop the act

"You always portray yourself like a noble lady. Deep down, you're viler than anyone else, and only someone as brainless as Shelby would let you manipulate them.""

"Who are you calling brainless!" Shelby stepped forward and glared at lan with wide eyes.

As a member of the esteemed Martinez family, nobody had ever dared to speak to her in this way.

"With your ordinary appearance, you have the audacity to fantasize about becoming fack's girlfriend? quit dreaming. In Jack's eyes, you're not even worthy enough to be his fallback option."

"You 1. I didn't fantasize!" shelby felt embarrassed as if she had been exposed.

"You didn't?" lan scoffed. "Then I must have misunderstood. Aren't you here to give Lily a hard time because she ruined jack's life?"

"I.." Shelby was at a loss for words. She couldn't hide the embarrassment and anger on her face, yet she couldn't refute lan because everything he said was true.

She was indeed angry that Lily ruined Jack's life, and that was why she wanted to give Lily a hard time. She felt she had hidden her thoughts well, so how did an find out? Shannon glanced at Lily, who stood lazily at the side without saying anything. She acted as if everything happening before her had nothing to do with her.

A cold glean flashed in Shannon's eyes as her fair, slender fingers tightly clenched into fists

She withdrew her gaze and addressed Tan, "lan, it's just a little spat between sisters. Why do you have to make it sound so harsh?"

She slightly pursed her lips, her eyes misting with tears, "Shelby is just feeling sorry for me. I'm not angry at Lily. Even if she has gotten together with my fiancé, I don't blame her. That's something my mom and lowe her.

"I understand you want to defend Lily, but that doesn't give you the right to speak ill of Shelby like this."

Lily, who had been silent all along, suddenly lifted her head. She fixed her cold gaze on Shannon's face and smiled.

Her smile was like a blooming flower, captivating and soul-penetrating

After a long silence, she said indifferently, "You and your mother are cut from the same cloth."

As soon as Lily finished speaking, she turned around and walked away.

lan and Anya hastened to keep up with Lily.

After walking a distance, can turned back and said, "Listen, Lily is my boss in this school. If anyone danes to stir up trouble and spread rumors behind her back, I guarantee they won't be staying in Ember Creek for long. Don't believe me? Feel free to try."

Lily walked quickly. Anya and tan jogged alongside but still couldn't keep up with her.

After a while, Anya suddenly stopped and grabbed lan. She told him, "Stop following her she probably doesn't want to be bothered right now.

"Damian angrily kicked a stone on the roadside and exclaimed, "Lily is a good person. Why can't those Martinez family people appreciate her?" Chapter 66
