A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Vincent’s gaze fell on the last line of words in the document.

– Lyana and Collin Perrot broke up that day. Because Ines intervened, Ines instead reunited with Collin Perrot.

Vincent closed the file and shoved it into Davy’s hands. Calmly, he said,

– Go investigate the reasons for the breakup of Lyana Dubois and Collin Perrot. Investigate Collin Perrot as well and find MW

– Yes.

Davy understood everything Vincent remembered.

When Lyana came downstairs, she also saw Vincent and Davy following her downstairs. She was surprised but didn’t show it on her face.

Vincent caught up with Lyana in two or three strides. He approached her and said in her ear,

– Mr. W is gone. Something popped up.

Lyana froze for a moment and looked at Vincent in confusion. She didn’t know any WMs.

– The owner of the jade pendant.

Said Vincent, standing on the stairs. He looked down and saw Ines standing in the living room. He frowned sadly. A little girl who stole her sister’s boyfriend must have an ulterior motive.

– Ask your sister to go home first.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Lyana agreed and followed Vincent up the stairs. She was curious to know why he even brought Ines here in the first place. is it really because of the owner of the jade pendant?

Vincent came downstairs and politely exchanged a few words with Matriarch Sanchez before leaving.

– Sister!

Ines quickly went to Lyana and looked at her with ingratitude. In stark contrast to the disdain Lyana was used to, Ines stepped forward and affectionately grabbed Lyana’s arm.

Who didn’t know how to act?

Sister love?

Lyana looked at Ines with a smile and slid her arm out of Ines’ reach in one fluid motion. She said languidly,

– Ines your brother-in-law told me that the owner of the jade pendant, MW, is busy and will not come until after a while. Why don’t you go home during this time?

Ines naturally understood that Lyana would not dare to give her the wrong information under the name of Vincent. She lowered her gaze slightly, the corners of her lips lifting, hiding the disdain in her eyes. Take it easy, she replied.

– Okay, I will.

Lyana looked towards the door. Seeing that Ines was still there, motionless, she raised her eyebrows and said:

– I have other things to do, so I will not accompany you.

Lyana then walked over to Matriarch Sanchez.

Ines stood there coldly, her hands clenched in fists. She turned around and saw Matriarch Sanchez looking at Lyana fondly.

How was that fair?

How could Lyana be loved by Matriarch Sanchez?

She was clearly much better than Lyana in every way. Her academics were much better than Lyana as well. Lyana was just crazy.

Ines hid the coldness and repugnance in her eyes. She couldn’t give her true emotions so early in the game. She had to protect herself first.

At that thought, Ines took a deep breath and walked past Matriarch Sanchez, saying politely,

– Grandma, I will…

‘Any Tom, Dick or Harry dares to call me ‘Grandma’. Isn’t the threshold to enter the Sanchez family so low? Matriarch Sanchez cut sarcastically. She gave Ines an indifferent look, her lips curling coldly.

Ines felt as if someone had emptied a bucket of cold water over her head in the middle of winter. She stood rooted to the spot, clenching her fists involuntarily.

– Madame Sanchez, Lyana still has work to do. I go first!

Ines said in response, smiling softly.

Sitting on the side, Lyana suddenly felt that Ines’ helplessness was truly unparalleled. Ines was visibly livid, but she could still put on a sweet and charming mask with ease.

– Hurry up and go. After you leave, it will be easier for the servants to thoroughly clean the villa. Otherwise, I keep thinking there’s a weird smell in here!

Matriarch Sanchez said rudely, disregarding the label. She turned her head to the side and paid no attention to Ines’ pitiful expression.

Ines bit her lip and turned away, starting to walk towards the door. His hands were clenched tightly into fists and his fingernails dug into his palms.

Seeing that Ines was gone, Matriarch Sanchez turned to look worriedly at Lyana, who was seated next to her. She said with concern,

– My darling child, your younger sister is a little scary. If she intimidates you again, don’t be afraid. Tell Grandma and Grandma will help drive her away!

Lyana felt the warmth touch her heart. Although she knew Matriarch Sanchez only adored her so much because of Vincent, she was still touched. Smiling, she replied,

– I understand. Thanks grandma!

– Oh, honey, why are you so polite? The more time the Matriarch spent with Lyana, the more she felt that Lyana was an obedient and sensible girl. She was a perfectly suitable granddaughter. Matriarch Sanchez continued,

– Oh yes, I have something to give you. Use it to buy clothes!

As she was talking, she pulled out a black card and handed it to Lyana. Without waiting for Lyana to refuse, she continued,

‘That’s what you deserve. This black credit card does not require a password or fingerprint authentication. You can use it to pay for anything without hassle. Take it. When you have your wedding with Vincent, grandma will have more gifts for you.

Hearing Matriarch Sanchez’s words, Lyana quickly lowered her gaze. She didn’t speak.

She knew that Vincent would refuse to marry her. Of course, she wouldn’t marry him either.
