A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Lyana looked at him with a complicated expression. Seeing that he didn’t seem like a nosy, she put the check away. His gaze was cold.

– Remember your promise!

Although this sentence could not be considered a threat, it still made the instructor’s heart leap. He quickly nodded and said:

– Understood. I will remember your instructions!

Lyana said nothing more. She left the gym.

At this time, Thomas, who was sitting in the car, was still on the phone. He was telling Vincent everything he had heard about the phone call between Olga and Lyana.

– Looks like it’s finally time for the Dubois family to learn what it means to be reasonable.

Vincent’s voice fell silent, it sounded extremely dangerous.

Thomas was also extremely unhappy with Olga’s verbal abuse of Lyana. Hearing Vincent’s words, he wholeheartedly agreed.

– It’s true, it’s true. The things they say to Madame are horrible. I can not support it.

– Got it.

Vincent’s tone was very calm.

Thomas frowned in confusion.

That was it ?

Didn’t Vincent intend to say something else?

Thomas didn’t dare ask.

Vincent continued impassively:

– Now all you have to do is follow her everywhere. You don’t need to come get me.

Before Thomas could answer, Vincent had already hung up. When he heard the dial tone, he was momentarily stunned.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

He was extremely puzzled. The second young master Sanchez had always defended Madame, but he seemed extremely impassive today. It seemed he had no intention of defending Madame.

While Thomas was still dazed, Lyana walked out of the gym.

Thomas rushed out of the car and opened the door for Lyana. Seeing that Lyana’s face was pale and she gave off a cold aura, he asked cautiously:

– Madam, where are we going next?

Hate flashed in Lyana’s eyes.

– The house of the Dubois family.

Thomas quickly replied:

– Yes Madam.

He made a note of investigating Roller Gym later.

Thomas got back in the car, drove off and drove to the Dubois family home.

Lyana was sitting in the car. She wasn’t paying attention to the scenery outside the car. All she thought about was what Olga had just said.

She clenched her fists so hard that the veins in the backs of her hands bulged.

Perhaps in the eyes of this gigolo, Olga did not mean what she said. Perhaps the gigolo thought that Olga was only speaking out of anger. However, Lyana knew in her heart that was not the case.

Moreover, judging by the reaction of the gigolo, Olga had repeatedly expressed similar feelings to him.

She still remembered how whenever Olga got mad at her, she always said,

– I must be cursed for raising a miserable child like you!

– I brought you up with difficulty, but in the end, you became ungrateful!

– If I had known you were like that, I wouldn’t have brought you home back then.

Wait a minute.

This time, Lyana suddenly realized something. Whenever Olga scolded her, she never used the phrase “give birth”. She only used the word “elevate”.

In the past, she hadn’t thought about it too much and therefore hadn’t noticed this detail.

But now Lyana finally understood Olga’s choice of words.

She narrowed her eyes, the coldness in her gaze intensifying. She had to find out if she was really a biological daughter of the Dubois family!

In twenty minutes, the car arrived at the entrance of the Dubois family villa.

Jacob seemed to be aware of Lyana’s visit. He had been waiting at the door since early morning. When he saw Lyana get out of the car, he quickly walked over.

She stood to the side, staring unblinkingly into Jacob’s face. It was the first time she had assessed Jacob’s facial features so seriously.

Indeed, not only did she not look like Olga, but she did not look like Jacob either.

Seeing Lyana standing there with no intention of admitting her mistake, Jacob flew into a rage. He aimed a slap at Lyana’s face.

She continued to stare intently at Jacob, not saying a word.

Thomas stood to the side. Seeing Jacob’s actions, his expression wavered. Quickly, he stepped forward and grabbed Jacob’s hand. He asked her coldly:

– M. Dubois, what are you doing? Are you looking down on the Sanchez family?

Jacob was so angry his blood was boiling. Her darling daughter, Ines, had returned in tears from the research institute. She had told him, with an annoyed air, everything that had happened there.

If Lyana hadn’t caused trouble at the research institute, her darling daughter wouldn’t have made a fool of herself. Now, Collin wouldn’t treat her with disdain either!

Jacob’s eyes were red with rage. He glared at Thomas and roared:

– Let go of me ! Who do you think you are? I take care of my own daughter. What does this have to do with Vincent Sanchez?

– Miss Lyana is already married to the Sanchez family. Don’t you think it’s important?

Thomas said coldly.

With that, he shook Jacob’s hand forcefully.

Jacob was no match for Thomas. He staggered back two steps.

At that moment, Ines ran out of the room, sobbing pitifully. She gave Lyana a resentful look for a moment, then her gaze finally landed on Jacob’s face.

– Father, after what happened today, I really can’t meet anyone else. My sister was so ruthless, and completely humiliated me in front of so many people. She didn’t hold back at all. I can’t live like this! Father, I’m so sorry. I can’t stay by your side any longer. Forgive me for not being an obedient girl! If there’s a next life, I’m ready to be your daughter again! I’m sorry.

With these words, Ines rushed at full speed towards a tree. His expression was one of determination and despair.

Jacob instantly turned pale with fear. Quickly, he pulled Ines back, tears streaming from her eyes.

– My dear daughter ! Ines, you are my darling daughter. There must be a way to fix this problem. Listen to your father. You must live well! Even if we have to go bankrupt, your father will find a way to settle this case for you.

When Lyana heard Jacob’s words, her eyes narrowed dangerously.

In the past, she had always thought that Jacob and Olga were just biased against her. Now it seemed there was more to it than she had thought.

– Daddy, don’t stop me. I really don’t have the dignity to go on living!

Ines cried until she was out of breath.

– My darling daughter, my darling daughter, you must not die. If you die, how will your mother and I live?

Jacob’s eyes were red. He clung firmly to Ines, worried that she would take things too seriously. He took all his anger out on Lyana. He glared at Lyana, hatred written all over his face.

– You ! You heartless, despicable wretch. It was you who brought so much pain to my darling daughter. Even the precious plants belonging to the Dubois family were all donated by you. Look at you now! You even hired a bodyguard to protect you. You think I wouldn’t dare hit you just because of that? Servants! Bring me the whip.

Jacob was livid.

At this time, a few servants came out of the Dubois family house.

– Take good care of Ines.

After Jacob hands Ines over to two of the servants, he says to the other servants:

– Whip.

One of the servants held out a whip that had been prepared in advance.

Jacob grabbed the whip and pointed it at Lyana. He said to the other servants:

– You guys, bring that bitch over here.

Slut.

Lyana sneered and clenched her fists tightly, her fingernails digging into her palms. Her palms were already bleeding, but she didn’t seem to feel any pain.

The servants rushed towards Lyana.

Lyana’s gaze swept around everyone coldly. She raised an eyebrow, her voice increasing in volume.

– Do any of you dare to touch me?

At that moment, Lyana’s aura swept across the whole yard. In an instant, the servants rushing towards her found themselves overpowered.

Jacob watched as his servants retreated one by one. He was so angry his lips were quivering. The whip in his hand cracked in the air.

– You are rebelling. You rebel against your parents. How could I raise a beast like you?

Again, the word “elevate” was used.

Indeed, it was not only Olga who had never used the expression “to give birth”. Jacob hadn’t either.

Something flashed in Lyana’s eyes. If she wasn’t a biological member of the Dubois family, that might be a good thing.

– When did you raise me?

Lyana looked at Jacob coldly.

When he heard Lyana’s words, he turned red with anger.

– You ungrateful. How could I not raise you? Did you grow up in the air? You gave away such an expensive plant just like that. You didn’t even bother to ask my permission? Do you still remember your parents? You only think of yourself in any case. Selfish beast.
