A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Hearing Lyana’s words, Ines looked at her in disbelief. Her voice was shaking as she said,

– You … you will really take advantage of me?

– I did not do anything.

Lyana gently stroked Lan’s head, her voice cold.

“You are preparing to be used by me!”

– Sister, there may have been a misunderstanding…

– Misunderstanding?

Lyana smiled coldly, her eyes blinking in disgust.

– If you want to marry into a rich family, you have to pay the price. I don’t know if you can bear it.

With that, she left, taking Lan with her.

Ines’ gaze fell on Lyana’s exquisite clothes and the diamond-encrusted hair clip in Lyana’s hair. The envy in Ines’ eyes couldn’t be more evident.

It was all supposed to be his. Lyana stole everything from him!

But Lyana’s last sentence haunted her like a nightmare, lingering in her ears. She began to sweat, beads of cold sweat dripping onto the floor.

When did Lyana become so great? How dare she plot against her Ines Dubois!

Ines’ mind was in a mess as she followed the butler to the guest bedroom.

When the butler came out of the house, she could hear the servants chatting from afar.

– There’s more to Lyana than meets the eye. She bullied her little sister until she cried.

– It is certainly not as simple as it seems. I heard that the third young mistress of the Dubois family was supposed to marry the Sanchez family, but Lyana Dubois snatched the wedding from the third young mistress Dubois. There is no doubt it is not simple at all!

– She racked her brains to figure out how to betray her blood relatives just to marry into a wealthy family. There’s no way anyone who did this could have a good heart.

The butler frowned. He says,

– You’re all throwing nonsense!” do you want me to tell the Second Young Master everything you said?

Frightened, the servants immediately dispersed. They did not dare to go along with the second young master. He was so fierce!

After scolding the servants, Butler Caron turned and left.

Right now, on the top floor of the Sanchez family hotel…

Matriarch Sanchez sat lazily in a chair. Wearing a pair of glasses, she looked at the photo on her phone. His lips curled involuntarily.

– Madame, Miss Meyer has arrived!

A servant entered the room, saying respectfully.

– Invite her quickly.

Matriarch Sanchez said with a smile, her gaze never leaving her phone screen. When she heard footsteps, she looked up and hastily called for Laura.

Laura, look! This is your second sister-in-law.

There was a flash of surprise in Laura’s eyes, but she didn’t let it show in her expression. Instead, she smiled and sat down next to Matriarch Sanchez. Looking at Lyana’s picture on Matriarch Sanchez’s phone screen, she pleasantly said,

– grandmother, I have already met the second sister-in-law. She is very beautiful.

– In effect! I have never seen such a young girl in my life.

Matriarch Sanchez’s eyes were tinged with laughter, and there were more lines on her face than usual.

– I tell you, when I first saw her, I thought she was an angel.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

An angel?

How could this woman be an angel?

This woman was clearly evil, through her was a demon.

However, Laura did not voice these thoughts. Instead, she smiled and nodded in agreement. After some hesitation, she said:

‘But I heard that the one who was to marry Brother Vincent was in fact the third daughter of the Dubois family. The second sister-in-law is the one who snatched this marriage from the third young mistress Dubois!

Laura just wanted grandma to hate that woman.

When Matriarch Sanchez heard Laura’s words, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

Laura thinks to herself: Looks like grandma won’t love that woman anymore!

Just as Laura felt smug about her, Matriarch Sanchez continued,

– Oh my God! This clearly means they are a match made in heaven. She was destined to marry Vincent from the start.

Laura could have vomited blood. Startled, she looked over at Matriarch Sanchez, her throat working slightly. Before he could complete his sentence, Matriarch Sanchez sued,

– From now on, Lyana will be the head of the family. When you get married in the future, she will also support you. You must get on well with her.

Laura’s heart sank downward. She frowned slightly. After hearing Matriarch Sanchez’s words, she finally realized that Grandma had already affirmed Lyana’s place in the Sanchez family. If she wanted to have status among her in-laws in the future, she would have to rely on Lyana.

– Grandmother, I don’t want to get married. I want to stay by your side for the rest of my life. Laura clung to Matriarch Sanchez’s arm with affection. In a sweet way, she says,

– I will take good care of Grandma.

Matriarch Sanchez gave Laura a meaningful look. With a smile that didn’t reach her eyes, she said:

– All grown men should find a wife, and all grown women should find a husband. Don’t throw nonsense. Go on now, I know you’re busy!

Laura could tell that Matriarch Sanchez was ordering her to take her leave. After some hesitation, she got up and reluctantly walked out.

Aunt Louna, who was sitting next to Matriarch Sanchez, frowned as she watched Laura leave. She remained silent and placed a cup of tea on Matriarch Sanchez’s table.

‘She still hasn’t abandoned Vincent. Matriarch Sanchez sighed and said helplessly…
