A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

When Lyana heard Vincent’s words, she had a strange feeling. Vincent didn’t seem angry or disappointed, just cold.

She had the impression that Vincent didn’t care about Julie at all.

When Julie heard Vincent’s question, her voice shook a little and she said:

– I…I probably did.

– It’s true ?

At this time, a cold wind blew from outside. Julie’s goose bumps rose in fear.

Julie couldn’t help but shiver.

– Ah, it’s too late, Brother Vincent. Why don’t you go home first…

– Answer me.

Vincent interrupted Julie expressionlessly.

Julie could see that Vincent was already growing impatient.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She pursed her lips and risked it all.

– I did it.

Vincent’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. His voice was as cold as ice as he mercilessly announced Julie’s fate.

– I already gave you a chance. In that case, starting tomorrow, I no longer want to see you in the Sanchez family villa.

With that, Vincent left with Lyana.

Julie was the only one left.

After a while, she quickly reacted. She quickly ran towards Vincent and blocked his way with both hands. She looked at Vincent in disbelief.

– Brother Vincent, are you chasing me?

Vincent looked at Julie coldly, as if looking at a dead person.

Julie’s eyes instantly turned red. She panicked and quickly said:

– Brother Vincent, you can’t kick me out. I am Grandma’s granddaughter. Even if you want to drive me away, it’s up to Grandma to do it.

Vincent chuckled and asked:

– Do you think you’re still qualified to see Grandma?

Julie’s heart instantly jumped to her throat.

– What ?

Seeing Julie in this state, Lyana couldn’t help but laugh.

– Do you think Grandma doesn’t know who was behind the poisoning last time?

– You… you talk nonsense. What poison?

– What kind of person is Grandma Julie? What hasn’t she seen before? You think you can avoid it by swearing on your late mother? You are too naive! Let me tell you, grandma already knew you did those things. She just didn’t want to report you.

Lyana’s words were like a sharp blade that stabbed Julie’s heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

At that moment, the butler, who was standing to the side without saying a word, said:

– Miss Julie, the tea leaves you bought before belonged to the shop in the name of the Old Lady. Since the tea leaves you wanted were no longer there, I specially took them in advance from other customers for you.

Julie felt like the whole world had collapsed.

This tea shop actually belonged to Grandma!

So no matter what she did, Grandma knew!

Julie’s body involuntarily softened, and her face went pale.

Lyana raised her head slightly and continued to provoke her.

– Otherwise, why do you think Grandma called us home?

Julie looked at Lyana anxiously. She had a bad feeling.

Lyana paused before continuing:

– Actually, Grandma still cares a lot about you. If she didn’t care about you, she could have called Vincent directly. However, she just wanted to prevent you from making a mistake. It’s just that you let her down.

Julie couldn’t hold on any longer. Her legs went limp and she fell to the ground.

It’s true !

He had never cared about her before.

If her grandmother hadn’t wanted to prevent her from making a mistake, she wouldn’t have called her at home.

Lyana looked down at Julie and said coldly:

– Last time, you tampered with the medicine I gave Grandma and almost killed her. However, at that time, you did not know how to repent. This time you used Denise and almost ruined my and Victor’s innocence.

Julie’s breathing became faster and faster, and she felt a little out of breath. She looked up at Lyana in fear.

Lyana’s gaze fell on the ancestral hall. She asked :

– How dare you tell your ancestors that you never hurt Grandma? Aren’t you afraid that the ancestors of the Sanchez family will come looking for you in the middle of the night?

Julie quickly covered her ears with her hands and screamed in horror:

– Stop talking, I don’t want to hear that anymore.

Lyana remained anchored to the ground, her gaze fixed on Julie’s face. Then she said,

– Since you already broke the oath you made and hurt Grandma, Grandma decided to let you leave the Sanchez family.

Julie shook her head frantically.

No.

She couldn’t leave the Sanchez family.

After leaving the Sanchez family, she would lose all of her current fame and wealth. If she was no longer the eldest daughter of the Sanchez family, no one would take care of her.

– No, Grandma… Grandma would never treat me like that. I want to see Grandma.

As she spoke, Julie got up and walked towards the villa.

Grandma always had a tender heart. As long as she apologized to Dadi and knelt down to beg her forgiveness, she thought that Dadi would definitely forgive her.

Seeing Julie like that, the butler stepped forward and blocked her way.

– It’s really too late now, Miss Julie. You should leave! What the Second Young Master just asked you was also what the Old Lady wanted to ask you. As long as you were willing to repent in the ancestral hall, Old Lady Sanchez was willing to consider your past relationship and give you a chance to turn over a new leaf. However, you have already missed this opportunity.

When Julie heard the butler say this, she said in a daze:

– How is it possible ? How can grandma be so heartless?

Vincent held Lyana’s hand and walked out. When he walked past Julie, a cold glint crossed his eyes.

– All your things were given to you by Grandma. You don’t need to pack your bags anymore. You can leave now.

– No no.

The tears on Julie’s face instantly fell. She cried and knelt down in front of Vincent, pleading:

– Brother Vincent, please give me another chance. It’s my house. If I leave here, I don’t know where I can go.

As she spoke, Julie reached out to grab Vincent’s hand.

Vincent coldly avoids Julie and says:

– I remember telling you that as long as you took care of Grandma, you would remain the eldest daughter of the Sanchez family. However, it was all ruined by you.

Julie cried even harder. She shook her head vigorously and said in desperation,

– Brother Vincent, I was wrong last time. I accidentally overheard Grandma and Laura say they wanted to leave the assets to the second sister-in-law. I only did this because I was stupid.

As she spoke, Julie cried even harder.

– I felt very sorry for Grandma recently, so I took care of her and stayed by her side. Please, I promise you that I will not make any more mistakes in the future. I will behave well in the future…

At this moment, the butler was stunned.

The coldness on Vincent’s body intensified.

Seeing Julie in this state, the corners of Lyana’s lips curled slightly, and a sly look crossed her beautiful fox eyes.

Heh.

Julie finally admitted it.

She had been waiting for this moment. She couldn’t help but applaud Julie.

Julie, who was originally desperate, was stunned when she heard the loud applause. At that moment, a trace of confusion crossed his eyes.

The butler scolded him angrily:

– Miss Leroy, how could you do such a thing? The old lady treats you like her own granddaughter. How could she do such a cruel thing?

When Julie heard the butler say this, she was stunned.

Well…

Julie quickly came to her senses. She looked at Lyana in disbelief and asked:

– Are you really plotting against me?

Lyana instantly smiled brightly and asked:

– If you have a clear conscience, I won’t be able to plot against you.
