A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Lyana quickly nodded. All she wanted now was to get Lucie back.

Vincent’s gaze darkened. He reached out and snatched Lyana’s phone.

She reached out to snatch the phone from him, but Vincent avoided her hand. She looked at Vincent disgruntled and frowned slightly.

– Why are you taking my phone?

– You should rest early. There’s an auction tomorrow that I want you to attend.

She looked at Vincent in confusion. Perplexed, she asked,

– Which auction?

Moreover, in his memory, Vincent had never liked such occasions.

He seemed to be able to read Lyana’s mind. He answered without hesitation:

– It’s just a charity sale. Grandma has always been a philanthropist, so she accepted the organizers’ invitation. However, she is not in good health. I want to attend on his behalf.

Hearing this, Lyana lowered her gaze slightly, thinking seriously.

The charity…

Could it be that Matheo Harris organized the auction she had prepared in advance?

This shouldn’t be possible.

She remembered that the auction was to take place next month.

At this thought, Lyana looked up at Vincent and asked:

– Who is the organizer?

– Matheo Harris.

It was really him.

What the hell was Matheo Harris doing? Didn’t he say he would wait until the 6th of next month?

She had been preparing for this auction for two whole years, and she still had priceless items to prepare. Why had Matheo started earlier?Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

– You’re not going?

When Lyana was wondering why Matheo had brought the auction up, she heard Vincent’s question. She replied:

– I’m just thinking about what my identity will be when I attend.

– So what identity do you want to have?

Lyana was slightly stunned. She looked at Vincent in surprise.

Had she gone silly just now? Why did she ask that?

Fortunately, Vincent did not dwell on his question. He continued:

– This auction is different from the previous ones. Anyone can present a precious object at auction. Of course, you have to prepare one yourself.

Hearing Vincent’s words, Lyana smiled.

– Alright I understand.

Just as Vincent was about to return the phone to Lyana, he accidentally saw a familiar WeChat profile picture on her phone.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Lyana notices Vincent’s gaze and gets up hastily to take the phone back from him. Smiling, she says:

– As it is getting late, you should rest early.

Vincent did not respond to Lyana immediately. On the contrary, he was still thinking about the WeChat profile picture he had just seen.

This profile picture was identical to Lucas’s.

He didn’t think it was Lucas.

It was impossible for Lucas to add Lyana on WeChat. Even though Lucas accidentally added Lyana on WeChat, it was impossible for him to call Lyana on WeChat. Lucas was autistic and rarely spoke to strangers.

More importantly, Lucas had never called him on WeChat. He was the closest person to Lucas.

Maybe that person just had Lucas’ profile picture on WeChat.

Vincent no longer hesitated. He picked up his bathrobe and headed for the bathroom.

When Lyana retrieved her phone, she realized that Lucas had already added her. She breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but smile. Then, she sent a distressed emoji.

Quickly, Lucas replied.

“Aunt, it wasn’t me who deleted you just now.”

Lyana frowned slightly and asked, “So what happened?”

In fact, she was puzzled just now as well. Lucas was a little boy who was ready to offer her a meal. How could he delete her WeChat just because she didn’t respond immediately?

Also, even though Lucas was on his guard, he was an honest kid. Even if he deleted his WeChat, he would return the money to him first.

At that moment, Lucas responded.

“Earlier when the teacher saw me playing with my phone, she got very angry. She said I didn’t want to play with my friends because I didn’t want to improve. . She said she wanted to help me fix my bad habits, so she took my phone and deleted all my friends on it. I just got my phone back.”

When Lyana heard Lucas’ words, she was slightly stunned. Didn’t a four-year-old want to improve just because he was using WeChat?

At school, it was normal for teachers to confiscate phones, but for a teacher to delete a WeChat contact without permission? What is going on ?

“So which kindergarten are you in?”

“An City Kindergarten.”

When Lyana heard the name of the school, her eyes turned cold. This kindergarten was the most famous elite school in An City.

The fact that Lucas was able to go to this school proved that Lucas’ parents were very competent.

Also, most four-year-olds go to kindergarten to play. They cultivated a lively and cheerful personality so that they could fit into the groups as quickly as possible.

Even though the children were playing games on WeChat, in the eyes of the teachers, they were only fully developing their manual abilities. How come they didn’t want to improve?

“So when can you give me back the money you owe me?”

“Tomorrow will be perfect!”

“Then I’ll pick you up from your kindergarten tomorrow morning, okay?”

“All right.”

Lyana closed the chat window with Lucas, then opened Matheo’s WeChat and sent a voice message.

– What time did you hold the charity auction?

– Ten o clock in the morning.

– Fix the auction in the evening.

Matheo responded very quickly.

– That won’t be enough. The notice has already been sent. If we delay it now, many people will not be able to stick to their schedule. If they don’t come, the losses will be huge!

Lyana frowned. If it was just a small matter, she would have caved. But for some reason, she felt like Lucas’ case was very important to her.

Every time she thought of how this young child had been bullied by a teacher at school, she felt slightly uneasy.

Thinking about this, Lyana sent a voicemail.

– Do you want us to calculate how much loss it will be for me if you bring forward the charity auction by a month?

After a minute, Matheo reluctantly sent a voicemail.

– Okay, let’s change it at eight o’clock tomorrow night.

Lyana closed WeChat and narrowed her beautiful fox eyes. She was to meet Lucas’ teacher tomorrow and see what kind of mentality he had.

At that moment, his phone rang. It was a message from Lucia.

Lyana opened it and jumped.

– Lyana, Kelly is dead!

Lyana frowned. This news was a bit sudden. She quickly typed:

– What is going on ?

– Nancy is the one who killed her. Nancy was waiting for you at the stadium entrance but she ran into Kelly instead. Therefore, she and a group of hooligans dragged Kelly down a small alley and killed her without hesitation. When she killed Kelly, she even said your name!

Lyana understood now.

– Kelly helped me stave off disaster?

– You can’t say that. From what Nancy said, not only does she want to kill you, she also wanted to kill Kelly. However, she came across Kelly first. Looks like Nancy won’t have a good time in the future.

Lyana smiled coldly. Lucia was indeed lucid.

Lyana changed the subject and said:

– It’s getting late. You should rest early.

– Will you be affected by this?

Lucia asked worriedly.

– It is the sin of these two, and they will be punished by law. These two will have nothing to do with me. How could I be affected by them?

– It’s true. So go to bed early. Good night.

…

The next day, Lyana went to kindergarten in An City at half past nine.

This timing was perfect for Lucas to arrive at school.

Also, last night, she had already hacked into the kindergarten’s security system ahead of time and had written her information into Lucas’s parents’.
