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

Chapter 87 

Shelby collapsed in fear onto the ground when she recalled how Lily had fractured Jack’s leg. She shook her head in a panic. “No, I didn’t lose. These tickets must be counterfeit You must’ve pulled some tricks.” 

Shelby refused to believe that Lily, a poor and powerless country bumpkin, would have the money for Lucas Garcia’s concert tickets. Besides, Loid couldn’t have possibly offered her tens of thousands to splurge on tickets. Therefore, she concluded that Lily was a fraud. 

Lily took a step forward, Staring down at Shelby, she announced, “If you refuse to fulfill the bet, we can switch things ep.” 

Glaring at her emotionlessly, Lily remarked, “Since you have a filthy mouth, let’s sew it shut. Ian Fletcher, dare you do it?” 

“Of course!” fan seemed more confidentever since he aligned himself with Lily. “I’ll get someone to grab some needles and thread. Let’s sew her mouth shut.” 

He’d never spare anyone who tried to walk back on their promises to Lily 

Jumping in shock, Shelby scrambled up from the floor and dashed into the classroom. “No, you can’t do that to me. I’m a Martinez. What can you do to me! 

“Shannon! Shannon! Help me- 

Shelby started stuttering from fear as she ran to Shannon for cover. Shannon, who had been a spectator up until now, had no choice but to speak up for Shelby. She secretly cussed Shelby out for being a good–for–nothing. 

Then, she approached Lily with a smile. “Lily, forgive Shelby We’re family, aren’t we? She’s just fooling around with your classmates.” 

“I don’t think she’s just fooling around” Lily retorted flath 

“L.. I was fooling around. It was a joke.” Shelby poked her head out from behind Shannon and argued in a shaking voice. 

Smiling, Shannon explained, “Shelby has always been quite temperamental. She might be stubborn and sharp–tongued, but she means no harm. Lily, please don’t take it to heart. 

Shannon’s smile was as bright as the sun, charming the guys at school. Some of her male classmates instantly defended her, “Lily Brooks, we don’t care if you like to fight, but you shouldn’t bully the wrak. 

“Class I might be academically gifted and less aggressive than Class 18, but we’re no doormats. If you lay a tinger on Shannon, we’ll report you to the teachers and get you kicked out of Ember Creek” 

Their words infuriated the Class 18 students. They argued, “Nonsense! Shelby Martinez started it by humiliating Anya and Emma. She even tried to come between Lily and the girls. How could she be the bully and play the victim at the same time? Do you take Class 18 as an easy target?” 

“Hah! Looks like these ‘academically gifted‘ bunch haven’t lost their minds from studying. They’re pretty good at distorting the truth.” 

The Class 18 students were united in the face of Class 1 Moreover, they considered Lily their leader after she had generously offered them the concert tickets. Naturally, never allow their leader to be bulled. 

Shannon stared at the classmates around her and clasped ber hands tightly, digging her nails into her palms in hatred 

She had been the beauty queen of Ember Creek for three years, always in the limelight until Lily transferred to the school. Not only did she lose her crown, but many students had also pledged their allegiance to Lily. 

Some of Shannon’s classmates defended her, but not all. In contrast, nearly all of the Class 18 students spoke out for her, save for Heather and Alexis. Shannon failed to understand what Lily had over her.
