A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

With Lyana’s abilities, she could leave the mental hospital at any time. The reason she married into the Sanchez family was because she didn’t want to be watched by the Dubois family after leaving the mental hospital.

No matter how long she was married to Vincent, it wouldn’t affect her investigation into what happened five years ago.

Now she could use Vincent to investigate what happened five years ago.

Matriarch Sanchez has repeatedly urged Lyana to buy more clothes. After talking for a while, she worried that Lyana would be embarrassed to use the black card to spend money on new clothes. She looked hastily at her and said:

– Honey, why don’t I go shopping with you? I’m afraid you don’t want to spend the money.

Lyana smiled and said quickly:

– Grandma, I can do it myself.

– Alright. But if you don’t go shopping today, I will accompany you tomorrow.

Matriarch Sanchez stood up as she spoke, her gaze landing on Lyana’s face.

– I have something today, so I leave first. Remember that you need to buy more clothes. Women should treat themselves better.

– All right.

Lyana obediently agreed.

Seeing Lyana like this, Matriarch Sanchez was thrilled.

After seeing the Matriarch leave, Lyana looked at the black card in her hand. She thought for a moment and decided to follow his instructions to buy new clothes. She didn’t have many clothes after leaving the mental hospital.

When she reached the mall, she walked into a brand store and looked at the clothes calmly.

Ines and her friend Eva Berger also went shopping in the same mall. Eva was not very well off and usually went out with Ines. Ines would give her clothes when she was in a good mood.

Eva’s gaze landed on the person not far from them. She frowned slightly and whispered,

– Ines, look. Is this person your older sister?

Without waiting for Ines to respond, Eva continued to sow confusion,

– Didn’t you say your sister was in the psychiatric hospital?” Why did she come out?

Ines was looking through some clothes when she heard Eva’s words. She looked and saw Lyana doing the same nearby. She rolled her eyes and said in a low voice,

– She left a few days ago. She has already married.

Hearing Ines’ words, Eva looked at her in disbelief and asked in a low voice,

– Your family must be so nice. They gave your sister such a big dowry for her wedding.

At this, Ines was momentarily stunned. She thought about the actions Lyana had extorted from her and silently agreed with Eva.

Eva’s gaze fell on the sales assistant behind Lyana. The sales assistant was already holding seven to eight garments. You should know that the cheapest item here was about ten thousand dollars.

Ines naturally noticed the clothes that Lyana had selected. Rolling her eyes, she continued,

– Sister took half the shares of my company.

– What!

Eva looked at Ines in shock. Ines held 20% of the shares of the Dubois company. According to Ines, Lyana had taken half of her shares, which meant…

“Your parents gladly gave it to him?”

Ines lowered her head in discouragement, her eyes watering as she said,

– She’s my older sister. I should give in to him.

With those occasional few words, Ines aired all of her grievances.

– That won’t be enough. We need to get your shares back. Back then she tried to snatch your boyfriend; now she stole your money. You can’t give it up so easily! Pulling Ines with her, Eva started walking towards an angry Lyana. She had to seek justice from her good friend.

Lyana stood in front of the mirror, holding a floral dress and examining it carefully. After staring at it for a while, she shook her head in dissatisfaction and put the dress back on the rack. She was about to look for other clothes when she saw Eva and Ines walking towards her.

– Lyana, you are so shameless!

Eva’s fury exploded when she saw Lyana. She had never seen such a cheeky woman in her life.

– In the past, you tried to snatch Ines’ boyfriend and now you even stole his shares. How can you be so vicious.

Lyana was no longer in the mood to shop. She couldn’t be bothered to talk to someone who clearly lacked intelligence. She turned to the sales assistant and said:

– Help me pack these things.

– Yes Madam,

The sales assistant answered. Holding the items, she walked over to the cashier.

Lyana walked over to the cashier, preparing to pay, but Eva grabbed her arm.

She turned around and saw Eva raise her hand, preparing to slap her. Without waiting for her to move, Lyana quickly slapped Eva, causing her to take two steps back.

In the space of that slap, Eva had no choice but to let go of Lyana’s arm. Panicked, she stood on the shelf next to her, barely managing to keep her balance.

Ines looked at Lyana with an ugly expression, then hurriedly lowered her gaze. She quickly walked over to Eva’s side, holding out her hand for support. Rolling her eyes, Ines said softly,

– Eva, let’s go. You can’t beat her.. I remember your boyfriend loved her back then, but she…

– What?

Eva felt frustrated, but hearing Ines’ words, she narrowed her eyes and asked coldly,

– Roger loved her?

Ines’ breath rings out. She looked at Eva in panic, and quickly explained,

– Don’t… Don’t think too much. It is not like that. Roger did nothing with her…

The more Ines explained, the more anxious she became. Cold sweat began to break out on his forehead. At the end, she sighed helplessly and looked at Eva with griping eyes. She said in a soothing tone,

– Eva, let’s go!

From Eva’s perspective, Ines’ actions made it more apparent that she was trying to cover something up. She looked at Lyana, who was standing at the cashier’s counter, with a sour expression. Eva’s eyes burned with anger.

His best friend had been bullied and his boyfriend had once liked that bitch.

She had always valued his friendships. Right now she was so angry that she could have vomited blood. She straightened her back, pushed Ines’s hand away and walked over to Lyana without hesitation.

Lyana, you are too shameless!

Eva approached Lyana with her hand raised, ready to slap her.

Lyana frowned, a little annoyed by Eva’s behavior. She turned around and told the staff,

– This person is causing trouble. Please call security!

The sales assistant looked at the pile of clothes in front of her. His business performance this month would definitely be the best of any employee. Smiling, the assistant picked up the phone, preparing to call security.

Naturally, Eva saw the seller’s actions. She put her hand down angrily and looked at Lyana, livid. With malevolence written all over her face, she said,This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

– Lyana, you impudent bitch. You stole your sister’s boyfriend and now you’re stealing his stock. Have you no shame at all?

At Eva’s words, Lyana’s gaze landed on Ines, who was standing nearby. She had put on a worried facade, looking like an innocent little bunny. The pretext was obvious!

– The invoice, please.

As Lyana spoke, she quickly pulled out a black card, glaring at Eva contemptuously.

– Eva, I advise you to know what you are doing exactly.

A black card?

The sales assistant took Lyana’s black card reverently. There were only a handful of people in this town who had such black cards. The young woman in front of her was therefore a rich person!
