A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

– I’m in the living room on the second floor. Tie it up and send it to me.

With that, Lyana hung up without waiting for Matheo to speak.

Lyana hesitated for a moment before heading back to the lounge the waiter had mentioned.

When she pushed open the door, she saw Victor lying on the couch, his face flushed. His eyes were glassy and he was breathing heavily.

As expected.

Lyana quickly approached and gently shook Victor’s shoulder.

– Victor Rousseau?

She wondered if Victor was still conscious.

Victor was filled with anxiety. He vaguely heard a soft, familiar voice, and smelled a faint scent. In a daze, he opened his eyes. When he saw Lyana’s face, he thought he was dreaming.

– Miss… Miss Dubois…

Victor’s voice was hoarse. He couldn’t help but want to hold Lyana back. He wanted to get closer to the person he loved.

– Don’t move yet. Someone is plotting against me.

Lyana pushed Victor away and pulled out a silver needle from her purse, inserting it into Victor’s hand.

Because of the pain, Victor’s mind was much clearer. When he thought about what had just happened, a trace of anger crossed his face. He clenched his fists firmly.

Seeing that Victor had woken up, Lyana hastened to ask:

– Did you eat anything else just now?

Victor thought for a moment. His gaze fell on the cup of tea in the living room and he said hoarsely,

– Tea.

Lyana followed Victor’s gaze. She took the teacup and sniffed it. Besides the scent of tea leaves, there was also a peculiar smell.

If Lyana was right, there must be an aphrodisiac in that cup of tea.

Sedatives could easily make a person give in to lust and arouse all the desires in his body.

– Who gave it to you?

Victor’s mouth was a little dry. He pursed his lips and said,

– Denise.

A trace of anger shone in Lyana’s beautiful fox eyes.

She was right.

It was Denise.

Lyana could naturally understand how uncomfortable it was to be drugged. Her gaze fell on Victor’s face. The veins in Victor’s forehead and temples swelled fiercely, and his entire face turned red. It seemed like she had to help Victor get the antidote as quickly as possible.

Lyana said:

– The aphrodisiac in the teacup is still working. Come with me to the next room.

– OK.

Lyana helped Victor up. When they arrived in the next room, she began performing acupuncture on Victor. Sweat gradually beaded on his forehead.

Vincent came out of the bathroom and led Thomas to the auction room.

After returning to the room, Vincent looked around but did not see Lyana.

He frowned slightly.

Sensing Vincent’s strange expression, Thomas asked cautiously,

– Second young master, are you looking for the young lady?

Vincent responded with indifference.

– Before we went to the bathroom earlier, the second young lady seemed to have returned from the balcony, but there was no sign of her in the hall. Why don’t I call the second young lady now?

At that moment, Julie approached. With a quiet smile on her face, she said,

– Brother Vincent, Grandma just called and asked when we were planning to go home.

Vincent did not respond to Julie. His gaze fell on Thomas’s face and he ordered:

– Thomas, go get her. We will go back together.

Julie looked at Vincent in confusion and asked:

– Brother Vincent, are you looking for the second sister-in-law?

Vincent looked at Julie. He didn’t shake his head and his expression was calm.

Julie lowered her gaze, a trace of concern shone in her eyes. She said :

– Just now, I think a waiter came to get her. She rushed upstairs. At that time, I thought she was going to get Brother Vincent. Since the second sister-in-law has not yet returned, has she encountered any problems?

Vincent said nothing and went upstairs.

Julie followed behind Vincent.

Thomas did the same.

Julie rolled her eyes and comforted him.

– Brother Vincent, don’t worry too much. I think the second sister-in-law is just tired, so she went to rest in the living room.

Vincent didn’t speak, but his steps quickened involuntarily.

When they reached the second floor, they heard a woman’s low moans and a man’s hoarse breathing coming from one of the bedrooms.

Julie’s eyes flickered with delight, but she quickly regained her composure.

– Brother Vincent, don’t you think this woman’s voice sounds like that of the second sister-in-law?

Julie walked side by side with Vincent and turned to ask.

As everyone headed for the door, ambiguous voices came from the room.

When Thomas heard the voice of the woman in the room, a trace of panic welled up in his heart.

Could the second young lady be with someone else?

No, he couldn’t let the Second Young Master see this scene.

Before Thomas could speak, Julie kicked the door open.

The ambiguous voices instantly intensified. Without even looking, you could tell from the voices how intense their session was.

Since their backs were to the door, you couldn’t see their faces at all.

When Julie saw this, her lips involuntarily curled up. It seems that Denise is very reliable.

Thomas looked at the blinding scene inside and silently turned his back.

Vincent frowned slightly. A trace of coldness shone in his eyes when he looked at Julie’s face.

Julie felt a shiver run down her spine under Vincent’s gaze. She hastily looked away and rushed angrily.

– What are you two doing?

Even though Julie’s reprimand was loud, the two people tangled together on the couch didn’t seem to hear her at all.

Julie remembered Vincent’s look just now and felt a little uneasy. But now his mind was filled with something else.

If Brother Vincent knew that Lyana was with another man, he would certainly divorce her.

With that thought in mind, Julie pretended to look at the two people on the couch in disappointment and chided out loud:

– Lyana, you’ve gone too far. How could you do anything to hurt Brother Vincent.

Standing in front of the door, Vincent’s gaze turned cold. He asked coldly:

– Who told you that the woman lying downstairs is Lyana?

Julie’s heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down. She turned to look at Vincent and said seriously,

– Brother Vincent, the truth is right in front of us. We can’t run away. Moreover, I can say that it is the voice of Lyana.

Seeing that Vincent still refused to believe her, Julie made up her mind and stepped forward, pulling the man away from the woman.

Vincent would only hate Lyana when he saw her with another man.

It took Julie a lot of effort to pull the man up.

It was only during this laborious pulling that the two, who were immersed in lust, came to their senses.

The man was the waiter. Previously, he had disguised himself as a woman to lure Lyana to the second floor.

When the waiter saw Vincent’s gloomy face, he froze on the sofa. Gradually, he turned his head to look at the woman on the sofa, who also had a terrified expression.

The woman looked confused. When she regained consciousness, she screamed and quickly crawled over the side of the coffee table to cover her body with a tablecloth.

When Julie saw the woman’s face clearly, she felt like she was in an ice cave.

What was happening ?

How did she become Denise?

Julie finally managed to stabilize herself. She turned around and saw Vincent’s gaze growing colder and colder.
