A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Lyana remained planted on the ground. Seeing Vincent and Julie leave one after the other, a trace of confusion shone in her eyes.

Vincent seemed to be angry again just now.

It seems that Vincent’s emotions are not stable.

Did Julie say something wrong?

Before she could figure it out, the two men had already disappeared around the corner.

Julie’s heart was beating faster and faster, it almost jumped out at her.

She followed Vincent and entered the office cautiously. Swallowing nervously, she explained with a pale expression,

– Brother Vincent, I was just asking casually. I really didn’t want to say anything else.

Vincent closed the office door with indifference.

She was so scared she almost suffocated. She took a step back and looked at Vincent with fear. Seeing that he gave off a cold aura, she shivered in fear.

She lowered her gaze and swallowed. She was really scared to death of Vincent.

Clenching her fists, she looked up at him and seriously explained,

– Brother Vincent, I was just asking casually. Recently Grandma mumbled that she wanted to have a grandchild, so I asked…

– How did you know?

Vincent interrupted Julie bluntly. His expression was grim, and his voice was as cold as ice.

She couldn’t help shaking. Although Vincent’s back was facing her, she felt that Vincent’s gaze could definitely kill her.

She heaved a sigh of relief. It is only by remaining calm that she will not betray herself. She pretended not to know anything.

– Brother Vincent, what are you talking about? I do not know anything at all. Am I supposed to know something?

– Julie Leroy.

Vincent’s indifferent voice interrupted Julie.

He turned around and put his hands in his pockets. Looking at her, his gaze landed on her eyes.

Julie’s heart skipped a beat. For some reason, she felt like Vincent was looking at her like she was a dead person.

A dead person…

She can’t help but shiver. Vincent had never called her by her name in the past, and her look and voice were a little scary now.

Julie’s face grew increasingly pale. Cold sweats beaded on his back. She seemed to smell of death.

– Brother… Brother Vincent…

– When did you find out?

Vincent’s voice was sinister and terrifying, like a demon crawling out of hell.

– Brother Vincent, what are you talking about? I know nothing. I do not know anything at all.

Julie’s eyes were red, and her lips were quivering.

– Lan.

He had just finished speaking.

A snake slipped off a pillar and wrapped around Vincent’s wrist.

Julie screamed in fear. Her legs weakened and she staggered backwards.

– Brother Vincent, what exactly do you mean by that?

– Tomorrow’s headline on Weibo will be the Sanchez matriarch’s granddaughter, Julie Leroy, snuck into the office of the Sanchez family’s second young master. She wanted to steal documents, but she was discovered by her beloved snake. In the end, she was poisoned to death.

Vincent’s expression was calm. His phoenix-shaped eyes narrowed slightly as he enunciated each word clearly.

– What do you think of this method of death?

The snake seemed to have understood Vincent’s words. He spat out his tongue and glared fiercely at Julie. If Vincent gave the order, he would bite Julie to death without hesitation.

She shivered in fear and took a few steps back. She looked at Vincent in disbelief and asked in fear,

– Brother Vincent, what do you mean by that?

– Have you thought about how to answer my question earlier?

Vincent asked without hesitation, not wanting to waste his breath on Julie.

She knew very well that if she told the truth, she would probably die unburied. The only thing she could do now was keep lying.

– Brother Vincent, I was just asking casually…

– Lan.

As soon as he finished speaking, the snake charged towards Julie without hesitation.

When Julie saw the snake coil around her neck, fear instantly filled her heart. It was only then that she understood that Vincent was serious.

If she really didn’t answer, the snake was definitely going to bite her to death.

As she was lost in thought, the serpent’s teeth pierced her neck.

– Ah.

She screamed in fear. Fear knocked him to the ground, unable to move. She looked at Vincent in tears and begged for his mercy.

– Brother Vincent, save me! Let go of me ! I am in pain ! It hurts.

He stood calmly to the side and looked coldly at Julie, without even blinking. The coldness that emanated from him was even more terrifying than the snake’s ruthlessness.

She struggled in fear. She wanted to rip the snake from her body, but the snake was particularly agile and perfectly avoided her hand.

What should she do?

She was about to die.

She couldn’t take it anymore. She cried out in pain,

– Stop biting me! Stop biting me! I will tell you ! I’ll tell you everything! Brother Vincent, please send him away.

– Lan, come back.

At Vincent’s command, the snake stuck out its tongue and returned to Vincent’s side.

Julie’s body couldn’t help shaking. She wrapped her arms around herself.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

– It was last month. I accidentally overheard you on the phone, talking about a child. You asked Thomas to look for him, so I followed him. That’s when I found out you had a child…

Towards the end, she felt that Vincent’s expression grew more and more ugly. A shiver ran down his spine.

Julie’s tears flowed uncontrollably. It was only then that she realized she had crossed Vincent’s bottom line.

– And ?

– No, that’s all I know. Besides, I haven’t seen this child, she said worriedly.

As soon as Julie’s words fell, she saw Vincent walking towards her step by step. When he reached her, he reached down and grabbed her neck to lift her.

Julie’s expression became increasingly ugly. She struggled to stand on her tiptoes and breathed in oxygen with difficulty.

He stared into Julie’s eyes and asked her:

– You found a way to ruin my marriage to Lyana. This time, you want to test it with the child?

When elld heard Vincent’s words, she gulped in fear and shook her head vigorously.

– No, I didn’t. I really didn’t. You misunderstood me…

– Do you want me to repeat the question you asked Lyana?

Tears streamed down Julie’s face as she remembered what she had just said.

At first, she asked Lyana if she liked children, and when Lyana would be able to give birth to a child.

Her words made it seem like Vincent had an illegitimate child.

She looked at Vincent in disbelief.

He really had it all figured out.

Did he care so much about Lyana?

Was he so worried that Lyana wouldn’t accept this child?

Or did he not want others to know he had an illegitimate child?

As Julie’s thoughts raced, she suddenly felt the grip on her neck tighten.

She couldn’t breathe anymore.

The next moment, Vincent looked like he was about to break his neck.

It was the first time she had seen Vincent so angry.

If he wanted to kill her now, she wouldn’t be able to resist.

She closed her eyes in despair.

The feeling of suffocation made his vision blurry. She could vaguely see death approaching.

Just when she thought she was doomed, Vincent let go of her and threw her away.

Julie’s body crashed against the wall and fell back.

She clutched her neck in pain and coughed violently, taking in deep breaths of fresh air. Tears gradually flow from the corner of her eyes.

She looks up at Vincent and sees him open the office door.

Didn’t Vincent intend to kill her?

She heaved a sigh of relief. A trace of relief shone in her eyes, as if she had just survived a calamity.
