A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Lyana’s expression was cold as she said:

– Looks like there’s no room for you here. You don’t need to keep working here.

When Lyam heard Lyana’s words, her lips curved imperceptibly. It seemed the little vixen was quite capable. She certainly couldn’t bear to let herself suffer.

When Isaac heard Lyana’s words, he couldn’t help but laugh. It was as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. He said sarcastically:

– You’re just an insensitive girl. You do not know the immensity of heaven and earth. How dare you come here and behave horribly? Do you know who organized this charity banquet?

Lyana narrowed her beautiful fox eyes and crossed her arms. She said :

– Of course I know who organized the auction. However, such a good auction ended up being blocked by a dog. I wonder if Mr. Harris will feel embarrassed when he finds out about this?

Isaac stared at him.

– Who are you scolding?

– Dog !

Isaac was furious. He raised his hand to hit Lyana.

Lyam, who was standing to the side, unconsciously raised his hand to stop him.

However, before his hand could touch Isaac, he saw Isaac’s hand freeze in mid-flight. Someone caught it.

Then he heard the sound of bones breaking apart.

Isaac shouted, startling the guests.

Denise, who had just entered, turned when she heard the voice. She looked at Isaac in disbelief, her face pale with fear, as if her hand had been broken.

Why would Vincent help Lyana?

Her goal here today was to seduce Vincent.

…

Everyone looked and saw Vincent standing there with a cold expression. His whole body emitted an eerie aura, as if he was a demon from hell. It gave chills.

As Isaac was about to swear, he turned around and saw Vincent. His face instantly paled with fear, and he stammered:

– Young… Young Master Sanchez…

Vincent’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, filled with displeasure. He spoke every word clearly.

– You damaged my doctor. Do you think you can cure my disease? Hmm ?

Vincent’s last word was extremely overbearing. It looked like he wanted to eat Isaac alive.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

For some reason, Lyana’s heart skipped a beat. It was the first time she had seen Vincent admit in public that he was ill and stand up for him.

– I…

Isaac was so nervous his legs were shaking.

With a loud bang, Isaac was sent flying by Vincent’s kick.

Vincent looked at Isaac like he was looking at trash. He despised him to no end!

After Vincent finished, his gaze landed on Lyana’s face. He says slowly:

– Doctor Dubois, my brother did not ask you to stay at the door. He asked you to follow me. Otherwise, if I fall ill, who will take care of me?

Lyana was left speechless. Why is this person becoming more and more comfortable with their words? Could he be addicted to the disease?

The others were all amazed!

Thomas couldn’t help smiling.

The possessiveness of the second master began to manifest itself again.

When the three of them entered, Isaac, who was lying on the ground, greatly regretted his actions.

Denise remained planted on the ground, in disbelief. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

She was right.

Lyana appealed to men just because of her looks. She was just cheeky.

After reflection, Denise’s gaze finally landed on Vincent.

Everyone said Vincent would have a short life, but he was handsome. He would be an eye-catching character, even among men. If she could marry Vincent, after Vincent died, all of the Sanchez family assets would be hers. Then she might find a better man.

However, Denise had never expected Lyana to arrive first.

She had to find a way to get Vincent back.

At this idea, Denise pursed her lips slightly. His gaze inadvertently fell on Julie’s face, and she smiled as she took his hand.

Everyone knew that Julie was the eldest daughter of the Sanchez family and that she had grown up with Vincent.

If she could establish a good relationship with Julie, then Lyana could only stay away.

At that thought, Denise’s voice became much softer.

– Sister Julie, the dress you are wearing is so beautiful. I heard Matriarch Sanchez made all your dresses for you. No wonder this dress is so beautiful.

When Julie heard Denise’s words, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

Ever since she stole Lyana’s dress, Grandma had stopped making dresses for her. She rejected it saying she didn’t feel well.

In fact, she knew very well that Grandma didn’t want to help her make the dresses because she was disappointed in her.

Julie still smiled at Denise and said:

– Grandmother is not in good health. I don’t want her to work hard, so I bought this dress myself.

When Denise heard Julie’s words, she smiled and congratulated her.

– Sister Julie, you are truly filial. Your criteria of appreciation are really good. You are really beautiful in this dress. You are the only one who can wear such a beautiful dress.

When Julie heard Denise’s words, she only smiled softly.

How could she not understand what Denise meant? Denise was just using her as a tool to deal with Lyana.

Julie turned her head and saw Lyana and Lyam walking side by side. They were talking and laughing together, as if they had been friends for decades.

Julie clenched her right fist involuntarily, and her breathing became heavier.

She knew very well that since she was young, Brother Lyam had never loved her. She had always thought that Brother Lyam didn’t like women, just like Brother Vincent.

These two men, who did not like women, had both lost their principles in front of Lyana.

Julie pursed her lips. She wanted to know what it felt like to be favored by them.

Julie lowered her head slightly, hiding her thoughts. After a while, she looked up at Denise and asked with a smile:

– Denise, what does your cousin usually do?

Hearing Julie’s words, Denise couldn’t help but smile.

It was his chance.

– The cousin likes to drink tea and collect antiques. He also loves cats and dogs. He has three dogs and a cat at home. He is very remarkable and still single.

Julie’s gaze fell on Victor’s back. She knew why Victor was single.

Ever since the arranged date, Victor’s heart had already been set on Lyana.

Also, Victor had inquired about Lyana recently. It was precisely because of this that he had become good friends with her.

Speaking of which, she had Lyana to thank for that.

Julie turned to look at Denise and asked:

– Do you like tea?

Denise was the one who hated tea the most. She usually liked to drink soft drinks, but she didn’t understand the high society people’s hobby of drinking tea. However, she couldn’t reject him. She could only smile and say

– I like this.

Julie smiles and says:

– I just bought some tea. I’ll have someone bring it to you later.

– Thank you, Sister Julie. You are the best.

Julie smiled and said nothing more.

Denise thought that the tea leaves Julie had to provide her with must be good tea leaves. When the time came, she would give the tea leaves to Aunty. Maybe Auntie would help her pay homage to her ancestors.

Denise had never known who her father was since she was born. Her mother had raised her alone, so her biggest wish was that her mother’s family would recognize her.

Thinking about that, Denise’s smile brightened. She had already forgotten that Lyana had just hit her.

Lyana could vaguely feel Victor watching her. His gaze was very gentle. She turned her head and gave Victor a light, polite smile.

Marthe noticed her son’s gaze and smiled. She asked softly,

– What family is the girl from? I have never seen her before. If you’re interested in her, I’ll propose to you another day.

– The second daughter of the Dubois family.

Marthe thought for a moment and asked in confusion:

– The Dubois family? Nathan Dubois’ little sister?

In the eyes of the great families of the city of An, the Dubois family was nothing. The only thing people remembered was that the Dubois family had a smart and capable newcomer, Nathan Dubois…
