A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Lyana could now see who it was. Her beautiful fox eyes narrowed and she asked coldly:

– What are you doing ?

Denise didn’t expect Lyana to interrupt her flawless plan!

Lyana had no intention of letting go. She gripped Denise’s wrist tightly, causing such pain that Denise was about to shed tears.

Seeing that Denise was silent, Lyana continued to question her:

– Earlier, I knocked on your door. You weren’t convinced, so you wanted to hit me back when the lights went out?

Denise was speechless.

What kind of joke was that?

His target was Vincent Sanchez.

She didn’t have time to sneak up behind Lyana!

As Denise was about to speak, she felt Vincent’s cold stare. His gaze seemed to want to skin her alive.

Denise trembled with fear. She remained planted on the ground, not daring to explain her intentions.

Denise tried to pull her hand away, but she couldn’t. She looked up at Lyana and frowned.

– Let go of me.

Lyana looked at Denise warily and said:

– If you don’t make yourself understood, I won’t let you go. Otherwise, what if you plan to ambush me again the next time the lights go out?

Denise was speechless.

You must be thinking too much!

We don’t care about the ambush!

Don’t have such a high opinion of yourself!

– If you don’t tell me, you may forget to get your hands back.

With that, Lyana twisted Denise’s hand.

Denise was completely stunned. She knew Lyana was someone who would do whatever she said. She hastened to say:

– I really didn’t mean to ambush you. I just thought your position might give me a better view, so I wanted to stand here.

Lyana stared at Denise’s face seriously. Seeing that her expression was sincere and didn’t seem to be lying, she let go of Denise’s hand, unhappy.

It was not easy for Denise to regain her freedom. Breathing heavily, she gently rubbed her wrist, which was sore from Lyana’s grip. In her heart, she had long cursed Lyana’s ancestors.

So violent.

It was simply an insult to refinement.

She didn’t need to think to know that Vincent wouldn’t like such a violent person.

Denise felt both wronged and sad. It hadn’t been easy for her to find an opportunity to get closer to Vincent, but she hadn’t expected Lyana to interrupt everything.

Lyana was there to ruin his plans!

Suddenly, Vincent smelled a pungent perfume. He frowns. He turned his head and saw Denise’s face, which made him angry.

Vincent pursed his lips and said coldlyContent bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

– Clear.

Tears welled up in Denise’s eyes.

She had never been so humiliated, or so wronged. She was about to die of anger.

Fortunately, most people were focused on the first treasure to be auctioned. Nobody noticed that she made a fool of herself.

At this time, the host on stage introduced the first treasure.

– It’s a night luminescent pearl we got from the ancient city of Lou Lan. Not only can it light up the night, but it can also be used for skin care. It gives off a special scent. This scent is good for sleep.

Everyone saw that the night pearl emitted a soft light, like moonlight in the night.

With that, the lights in the banquet hall came on.

It was only then that Lyana’s gaze fell on the enormous pearl of the night. His lips curled slightly. It was his secret treasure.

Many people present were tempted, but this price was too high, so no one dared to speak.

– Fifty-one million.

A soft and elegant male voice came from the crowd.

Everyone turned around.

So it was Victor who had bid.

Marthe, who was standing to the side, was slightly stunned. It was the first time she had seen Victor act so thoughtlessly.

Julie was also amazed.

Denise pursed her lips and said cautiously

– Cousin, what if there was something better?

Victor’s gaze fell on Lyana’s face. Seeing the joy on her face, he said in a disapproving tone:

– As long as she likes it.

Julie and Denise instantly understood. So Victor wanted to buy this glow-in-the-dark bead for Lyana.

Julie clenched her fists involuntarily.

Denise, who was standing to the side, was on the verge of tears. It was 51 million for a night pearl! Just because Lyana loved him?

Denise couldn’t understand Victor’s thoughts.

– Fifty-five million.

As everyone sighed, another male voice sounded.

Everyone looked and saw that the bidder was Vincent.

Lyana looked at Vincent in confusion. She didn’t know when Vincent had started liking such things.

Vivien, who was standing on the stage, was extremely excited. He hastened to say:

– 55 million once, 55 million twice, 55 million…

– Sixty million.

Victor interrupted Vivien.

Vivien’s eyes instantly lit up. He took a deep breath and said excitedly:

– The Luminous Pearls of the Night of the ancient city of Lou Lan have already…

– 70 million.

Vincent bid without flinching.

Victor’s eyebrows arched.

Seeing that Victor still wanted to bid, Marthe hastily pulled Victor’s sleeve and said softly:

– No one can stop Vincent Sanchez from getting what he wants. I think that girl might not like that Nightlight Pearl either. Let’s go see the others.

At this time, a wealthy man saw the two young masters continually bidding for a night pearl. He stared without flinching at the pearl of night.

Could this pearl of the night be so precious?

Since it was something precious, he certainly couldn’t let her go.

– 71 million.

The businessman continued to bid.

All eyes were on Vincent’s face.

Lyana naturally didn’t know what Vincent was thinking. She said in a low voice:

– There must be better items later.

What Lyana meant was that there was no need to waste money on this pearl of night.

Vincent’s eyes darken, but he quickly regains his composure.

Vivien, who was standing on the stage, was holding a small hammer and shouting excitedly:

– 71 million once, 71 million twice, 71 million three times. Bargain.

With a thud, the ownership of the Luminous Pearl of Night was decided.

Everyone rushed to applaud.

The rich man was thrilled that he was able to get the night pearl that Vincent wanted.

Everyone knew in their hearts that Vincent just didn’t want the young eldest master of the Rousseau family to get the luminescent pearl of the night.

Julie no longer felt very well. His breathing was a little irregular.

Muriel looked thoughtfully at Lyana. She was closer to Vincent and Lyana, so she heard everything Lyana said.

She didn’t expect Vincent to listen to Lyana.

Vivien’s words on the stage quickly interrupted Muriel’s thoughts.

– The next item is called Stone Wall Painting. I’m sure everyone has heard of it.

– Oh my god, it really is the stone mural.

– I heard that many collectors wanted to collect this painting, but they never found the real one.

– Few of Mr. Chuan Tanguy’s works have been transmitted. This painting must be priceless.

– I believe that Mr. Matheo has made a lot of effort to prepare for this auction.

…

Vincent’s eyes flickered. He had searched for this painting for many years.

Lyana was slightly stunned. Previously, she had told Matheo that this painting would be arranged at the end. Why was it advanced?

Just when Lyana was puzzled, Vivien presented again.

– This stone wall painting is from the private collection of Miss Muriel Johnson. I heard that many people tried very hard to find this painting, but unfortunately none of them managed to get it in the end. Today, in order to build a school for children in the poor neighborhood, Miss Johnson pulled out her favorite stone mural for charity. She really has a beautiful heart.

At that time, Vivien was so excited that he was about to cry.
