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

Chapter 76 

“Fuck off.” Lily didn’t want to talk to the idiot that was lan. 

Anya stared at her phone in silence for a while. Then, she put her phone back in her pocket and looked at Lily. “Shall we go have lunch?” 

Lily raised her eyebrows. “You don’t want to go to the concert?” 

Anya laughed bitterly. “I want to, but I can’t.” 

“Why not?” Lily stuck her hands in her pocket as she followed Anya out of the classroom. 

lan followed them. 

“I don’t have the money,” Anya said. 

She was from a poor village. Her parents worked very hard just to send her to school. She didn’t want to use their money for a concert. 

Lily glanced at her, pursing her lips without saying anything. 

They arrived at the cafeteria and sat down to eat. Halfway through their meal, Jack approached them with his tray. He stood beside Lily somewhat reverently. “May I sit with you, Ms, Brooks?” 

From the moment Jack approached Lily, everyone’s eyes were on them. They didn’t know that Jack’s leg had healed, so they were all surprised to see him up and about. Some of them thought that Jack was trying to make trouble for Lily again. 

After all, they all knew that an arrogant scion like Jack would never apologize to anyone of his own accord, especially not to someone who had humiliated him and crippled his leg. He wouldn’t rest until he got his revenge. 

They thought that he’d been forced to apologize to Lily that day. Now, they were all waiting for a show. 

However, when they saw Jack just standing respectfully beside Lily with no sign of getting angry, they were all shocked. Lily looked up and saw Anya slightly curling up into herself from fear. She frowned. “Go sit over there. You’re scaring my friend.“. 

“Oh, okay.” Jack did as he was told obediently. 

lan watched all this happen dazedly. Then, he gave Lily a thumbs–up. “Good job!” 

There were only so many people who could make Jack so meek. Seeing this, the other students lowered their heads, too scared to meet Lily’s eyes. 

She was terrifying. They didn’t want to cross her. 

After lunch, Lily and her friends left the cafeteria. Jack followed them out hurriedly. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

This time, he went up to Anya and lowered his head deferentially. “Anya, I’m sorry for everything I’ve done to you in the past. I hope you can forgive me.” 

“Huh?” Anya had not expected this, so she was confused. 

Lily and lan stood beside her silently. 

Jack glanced at Lily before continuing, “I’m willing to compensate you for any physical or mental harm that I’ve done to you. Or you can treat me the way I used to treat you if you want. I won’t retaliate.” 

Anya finally came back to her senses, but she still didn’t dare to meet Jack’s gaze. “There’s no need for any compensation. I’ll forgive you.” 

Jack breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you.” 

Lily did not say anything. She just pulled Anya along with her and left. 

lan followed them. “Lily, why is Jack so scared of you?” he asked in a low voice. 

Lily looked up and smiled coldly. “Probably because I’m not a good person.” 

Anya stopped. “You are a good person!” she said earnestly. 

Lily laughed and patted Anya on the head. “You’re dumb.” 

Anya was confused. 

Was she dumb? 

Lily was a good person. She wasn’t wrong. Before she could say anything else, Lily walked away.
