A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Lyana placed her hand on the glass cabinet and gently tapped twice with her fingers. Her gaze fell on the Suranne Grass she had meticulously cared for, now locked in a glass case. Cold, she sniffed.

Her gaze passed through the people who looked at her with disdain. Her eyes were as cold as ice, and the oppressive aura she gave off stunned everyone.

Collin looked at Lyana in disbelief. He hadn’t expected her to be so imposing. Her aura was incredibly strong.

Lyana’s gaze finally fell on Ines’ face. She raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes filled with cold arrogance. She said with disdain,

– You think you can afford my Suranne Grass?

The environment instantly became silent. Everyone’s gaze fell on Lyana’s face.

Collin took a breath and frowned, looking at Ines in confusion.

Ines’ palms were covered in cold sweat. She looked at Lyana, her face pale, not daring to speak.

At that moment, the old man from before asked,

– Young lady, are you saying that this jar of Suranne Grass belongs to you?

– Yes!

Lyana nodded without hesitation, her voice firm.

Everyone around them was stunned!

– How could this be possible?

– Is it because she saw everyone praising Ines Dubois? Is that why she is trying to draw attention to herself?

When Ines heard these words, her lips curled involuntarily. She immediately adjusted her mindset and a warm, gentle smile appeared on her face.

– Sister, this is a public place. Stop joking!

People were amazed that ines called Lyana “sister”.

Some people in the crowd were on good terms with the Dubois family, so they explained to everyone,

– Jacob Dubois has two daughters. Lyana Dubois, who is mentally ill, married the second young master Sanchez! The other daughter is Ines Dubois.

– So she is the wife of the second young master Sanchez.

Collin, who was standing next to Ines, looked as if he had been struck by lightning. He looked at Lyana in disbelief.

Lyana was married to Vincent Sanchez?

He preferred to believe that the sun was rising in the west.

Collin’s gaze lingered on the faces of Lyana and Vincent. The two didn’t seem to be on good terms. Maybe Lyana hadn’t really married Vincent.

Ines pretended to be innocent and said

It’s true that my sister was in a psychiatric hospital but she’s fine, she’s recovering now.

Ines’ words confirmed the rumors that Lyana was mentally ill.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Everyone’s eyes fell on Lyana’s face. They all felt that the words of a mentally ill patient could not be trusted.

The smile on Ines’ face became softer. Her words dripped with love and concern.

– Sister, did you get out of the house by yourself? Did the nanny who takes care of you come with you? Did you take any medicine this morning?

– Ines Dubois, I am not sick. Why should I take any medicine?

Lyana said expressionlessly.

Although Ines had already decided to marry Collin, if she had the chance to marry Vincent, she would always choose to marry Vincent instead.

The Sanchez family was so rich that their wealth could rival a small country. They were much richer than the Perrot family!

Ines looked up slightly. Seeing that Vincent was still looking at her, she was delighted. Vincent must have loved her.

Ines’ spirit raced. As long as she could calm Lyana down right now, they could still discuss Collin working with Director Huet sometime later.

If anyone else found out that Lyana was the one who grew Suranne grass, her reputation would be ruined. Not only would Collin be angry, but Vincent would also be unhappy with her.

– sister, the opening ceremony is starting soon. Don’t throw nonsense. Let’s go home, okay?

Lyana raised her eyebrow slightly, speaking in a cold voice,

– Forget the opening ceremony for now. Answer my question first!

After Lyana’s word, everyone was even more certain that she was crazy. No one in An City would dare cause trouble at Director Huet’s grand opening ceremony.

Everyone was looking at Director Huet. They saw that he wasn’t angry with Lyana’s words. Instead, he listened to the gossip with anticipation.

Everyone was a little curious. They recalled that Director Huet previously called Lyana by her first name. For a while, they were all curious about their relationship.

Ines’ heart was beating faster and faster. Her mind was in a mess and she didn’t know what to say.

– Ines, the Suranne grass is already beginning to wither. Are you sure you know how to grow it?

Lyana said impatiently.

– If you can take good care of my Suranne Grass, I won’t say anything, but right now you’re basically stomping on it!

When Lyana spoke, everyone looked at the Suranne. their heard face on Lyana.

The Suranne Grass was indeed starting to look a little apathetic.

Ines had also noticed something strange in the Suranne grass, but in that moment she had to refuse to admit that Lyana had grown this pot of Suranne grass.

– sister, you have indeed taken care of this pot of Suranne Grass for a few days, but I have been cultivating it from the beginning. I know him as Brother Collin, but he’s my boyfriend now. Today is the opening day of Director Huet’s research institute. If something’s wrong, we can talk when we get back, okay?

Lyana clapped for Ines. This mouth of Ines really knew no limits!

Lyana sneered.

– Keep crafting!

Ines’ eyes were now filled with tears and she looked extremely pitiful. The spectators all felt that Ines was being bullied.

In this situation, it was clearly Lyana who was causing trouble for no reason!

Everyone continued to stare at her like crazy.

At this moment, Vincent, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

– Since the case has already exploded, let’s clear things up now. Otherwise, others might think Director Huet bullied a young lady into crying!

When Director Huet heard Vincent’s words, he nodded in agreement.

– It’s true, it’s true. The truth of this question must be clear!

Chiara, who was standing in the crowd, stared unblinkingly at Lyana. She thought Lyana would definitely handle this issue well.

Ines could of course tell that Lyana was angry. She nodded obediently and said:

– Sister, it’s getting late. Let me take you home to take your medicine!

– Ines Dubois, I’m going to repeat myself once again. If you don’t get Suranne grass out, it will really wither.

Lyana clearly enunciated every word.

When they heard Lyana’s words, they thought she was lying. They looked at Lyana then Ines. They were both children of the same parents. One was both a troublemaker and a lunatic, while the other was so sweet and capable. You didn’t have to think seriously to know that Ines was right.

If they were Ines’ parents, they would probably favor her too.
