A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Thomas was also momentarily stunned. He hadn’t brought a knife with him. As his gaze fell on a nearby rock, he wondered if he should use the rock to crush Evan’s hand.

– By the way, also cut his tongue. He’s too noisy.

Vincent said expressionlessly.

– He insulted my date and humiliated me. He should bear the consequences.

Thomas gave a whisper of assent.

The people around them trembled with fear.

Ines, who was standing in the crowd, looked at Vincent in disbelief. He was cold and treated people so ruthlessly. It seemed like it wouldn’t be easy for her to have Vincent’s heart.

Evan was shaking with fear. His pants were wet again. He got wet twice in a row today.

He took out his phone and called his father with shaking hands. His father was the only one who could save him now.

Fortunately, the call went out very quickly.

Evan wiped away his tears and sniffled. Pretentiously he said:

– Daddy, hurry up and save me. Vincent Sanchez has gone mad. For the sake of a b*tch named Lyana Dubois, he actually wants to cut off my hand and my tongue. You must kill them!

The other end of the line seemed to hesitate for a moment before Robert Weber’s voice came through.

– Did you just say Lyana Dubois?

– Yes, it’s true. This little b*tch is called Lyana Dubois!

Evan said indignantly.

– She was counting on her beauty and her small means to defeat us completely. She even forced me to kneel down and apologize to her.

The more he talked, the angrier he became. He yearned to tear Lyana to shreds right now.

– Lyana Dubois from this town?

– Yes it’s her!

When Robert heard Evan’s words, his chest tightened. His hand, which was holding the phone, began to shake involuntarily. He longed to crawl across the phone line to Evan and give this unfilial son two hard slaps.

– Bastard! What else can you do but cause trouble?

Evan was stunned for a moment. He looked at his phone in disbelief. Was the person speaking really his father?

His father had always adored him the most. He had always been gentle with him. How could he be so fierce?

Evan felt he must be hallucinating.

– Dad, listen to me. They are the ones who intimidated me. They …

Before he could finish his sentence, Robert mercilessly interrupted him.

– If you say another word of nonsense, I’ll cut out your tongue. From what I know of Lyana Dubois’ cold nature, how could she possibly bother to talk to you? You must have caused it.

Evan blinked in confusion.

– Dad, do you know her?

– If she hadn’t saved me back then, our family wouldn’t have made it to where we are today. Indeed, we would have been separated by life and death long ago. She is the great benefactress of our family.

Evan was so shocked that he dropped his phone.

He hastily retrieved his phone again. He couldn’t believe, he didn’t dare believe that the person who saved his father back then was Lyana Dubois.

Robert’s voice, full of exasperation and anger, came through the phone.

– You unaffiliated son! You are in big trouble. Hurry up and give him the phone.

Onlookers watched as Evan’s expression grew uglier. They couldn’t help but feel curious. At the end, they saw Evan crawling towards Lyana on his knees.

Everyone’s expression changed. Robert Weber must have wanted to say something vicious to Lyana.

She looked at the phone. At Evan’s request, she picked it up.

The drug of lust in his body had already burst and his whole body hurt terribly. All she wanted to do now was fix this trivial problem as soon as possible so she could cure the poison.

Lyana picked up the phone and turned on speakerphone.

Robert Weber’s respectful voice came over the phone.

– Miss Dubois, thank you for saving me at the time. Without you, I would have been reduced to a pile of bones a long time ago. I remembered your kindness until today, but never would have thought that when I contacted you, it would be because my unfilial son was offending you. I am really sorry!

Evan lowered his head even more. He didn’t know that Lyana had saved his father’s life. Surely we couldn’t blame him.

There was silence as everyone turned to Lyana.

When Vincent heard Robert’s voice, he turned to Lyana, her expression unreadable.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She was actually Robert Weber’s life saver?

When everyone present realized this, they were all amazed.

At this moment, Ines gritted her teeth and looked at Lyana. If looks could kill, Lyana would have died a million times.

Ines really didn’t expect Lyana to be so lucky.

However, it was also the first time that Ines got to know Lyana from a new angle.

She was very skilled in martial arts and had excellent medical skills. What else could she be hiding? Ines found herself incredibly curious.

Collin stared unblinkingly at Lyana, his eyes filled with admiration. It was the first time he understood Lyana on a deeper level. He felt he must have misunderstood her in the past.

He finally realized why Professor Tom loved Lyana so much. So she really was a medical genius.

Suppressing her resentment, Ines looked at Collin. As she was about to speak, she saw Collin looking at Lyana fondly.

Ines’ eyes blinked. Carefully, she tugged Collin’s sleeve a little and whispered,

– Brother Collin, if her medical skills are so advanced, why did she set the school building on fire?

In the words of Ines, the good impression of Collin de Lyana immediately disappeared.

Even if she was a genius, so what? She was clearly just lucky.

If he had been the one who met Robert Weber back then, then he would have been the savior of Robert’s life.

At this moment, Lyana’s expression softened and she spoke softly into the phone, forcibly suppressing the growing discomfort in her body.

– Uncle Weber, what happened that year was nothing; that’s not a big favor at all. I already forgot it. Don’t take it to heart.

On the other end of the call, when Robert heard Lyana’s words, he sensed that she was no longer willing to settle this matter peacefully. He sighed silently and said:

– You have full authority on this matter. Do what you want. I won’t make any complaints.

When Evan heard Robert’s words, his expression changed in an instant. He hurriedly snatched the phone and shouted,

– Father, you can’t do this to me! Save me.

– That’s enough! Shut up!

Robert’s impatient voice came from the phone.

‘Apologize properly to Miss Dubois until you have earned her forgiveness. I tell you, if you don’t do what I say, you will no longer be part of the Weber family. You are not my only son!

After the call ended, Evan looked at Lyana. All the blood had drained from his face.

– Brother, excuse yourself quickly!

Boris said worriedly.

At this moment, the drug of lust in Lyana’s body had completely burst. His eyes were gradually shining. She forced herself to look at Evan and say:

– I just want a sincere apology!

If Robert had spoken properly to Evan earlier, he would have been willing to apologize to Lyana. However, when Evan thought of his father’s words

– You are not my only son!” his mind went blank. In a daze, he leapt towards Lyana.

Even if he were to die, he would take Lyana with him.

With nimble reflexes, Vincent sent Evan flying with a kick. He called,

-Thomas.

He stepped forward immediately, holding a knife. Previously, he had asked someone to bring him a knife from the Duval family kitchen. Quickly, he cut off Evan’s hand.

Evan screamed in agony!

Seeing this, Thomas quickly dislocated Evan’s jaw and cut out his tongue with the knife. In the end, he even gently repositioned Evan’s jaw.

He was in so much pain that he was about to pass out. He also couldn’t make any noise at the moment. Suppressing his pain, he had no choice but to agree to wait for Boris to call the ambulance.

Today was Matriarch Duval’s birthday banquet, and yet blood was shed. She couldn’t even blame the two, because she couldn’t afford to offend either.

The bloodstains on the cobblestones had all been cleaned up. It was as if the bloody scene had just been an illusion. Everything is back to normal.

Matriarch Duval ushered the other guests into the banquet hall.

The spectators around her had finally dispersed. Lifting her skirt, Lyana headed briskly for the doors.

As she jogged, her gaze began to cloud over, and the doorway in the distance gradually became blurred.
