My Substitute Wife Is a Bigwig (Lily and Loid)

Chapter 266 Lily did not return to the classroom with Anya. Instead, she went to the principal’s office. In the office, Joseph was
leaning back against his chair. His expression was grave as he rubbed his temple. The knocks on the door pulled him out of his
thoughts. He straightened up and schooled his expression into neutrality. “Come in.” Lily pushed the door open and walked into
the office, Joseph stiffened at the sight of her before he frowned, “What are you doing back in school? Shouldn’t you rest for a
few more days?” He rose to pour her a glass of water, assessing her as he did. She seemed to be in good spirits, save for the

trace of exhaustion that lined her features. Joseph reckoned she had to be tired after attending the auction in Bridgeport and
taking care of her grandmother’s postmortem matters. Lily took a sip of the warm water. “I’ve got to hit the books now that the
SATS are just around the corner.” The comer of Joseph’s mouth twitched. He was amused that she, of all people, needed to “hit
the books“. “So, to what pleasure do I owe this visit?” Joseph knew Lily wouldn’t look for him unless she needed something “I do
have something to bring to your attention,” Lily began. “Mr. Woodley, have you heard of Zoey’s recent bullying streak?” Joseph
barked an exasperated laugh. “Oh, I’ve heard all about it.” “So, what do you plan to do about it?” Lily pressed, her calm voice not
entirely concealing the sharp and demanding undertone. Joseph pinched his nose bridge. “While I’d love to do something about
it, I can’t. You’ve been to Bridgeport. You should know that my family isn’t as powerful as before. As things are, whatever the
Moores do is out of our hands.” Lily lowered her head. A beat later, she looked up. “I’ve decided to accept the proposition you
offered the other day.” “Hmm?” He froze as he registered her words. He bolted to his feet and demanded in disbelief, “You’re
accepting it?” “Yes.” Lily stood up. “But the procedure will have to wait until after the SATs.” “Yes, of course!” Joseph grinned from
ear to ear, happy that Lily had considered and accepted his proposition to step up as principal. Once that was done, Lily would
be tied to the Woodley family. Lily turned to leave. As she did so, she glanced at Joseph and said impassively, “Mr. Woodley, I
suggest you go to Bridgeport one of these days and tell your family to lie low for a while.” Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on
Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Joseph’s expression tightened. “Is something about to
happen in Bridgeport?” “It’s just a guess.” A grim look registered on Joseph’s face after Lily left. During free period in the
afternoon, Lily surprisingly did not take a nap. Instead, she took out her math workbook and pored over the questions. She had
done these questions countless times, but she figured she was better off going through them than e SATS? This year’s been
wild” “I know Ember Creek High School has a high admissions rate, but transferring here when the SATs are right around the
corner is madness!” Lily leveled a stare at Yolanda. She then took out her phone and sent Joseph a text.
