A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Alice’s face grew increasingly pale. She swallowed nervously and looked at Lyana in panic. Turning to Ines not far away, she saw that Ines was about to leave. Alice shouted,

– Ines Dubois, stop there!

Due to Alice’s warning, Vincent’s men immediately stopped Ines and Collin from leaving.

A trace of panic flashed in Ines’ eyes before she returned to her soft, weak facade. Collin helped her back.

Laura stood to the side with a stunned expression. She glanced at Ines, then at Alice, who was not far away. His gaze fell on Alice’s dress hidden in the grass, and she cried out in surprise.

Everyone looked at Laura in confusion.

Seeing that she hesitated to speak, Matriarch Sanchez waved at her and asked softly,

– Laura, what’s wrong? What do you have to say?

Before she could say anything, Alice shouted at Ines,

– Ines, come here! Let me feel you!

Even though Alice was only wearing a suit jacket, the powerful aura radiating from her was still impossible to ignore. Her legs were stretched.

Seeing that Ines was dragging on purpose, she roared angrily,

– Ines Dubois, is your leg broken or what? Why are you walking so slowly? Do you need me to transport you?

– Young mistress Duval, Ines has just fainted. She’s not feeling well right now.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Collin frowned. He didn’t understand why Alice had asked Ines to come back. He didn’t want Ines to get hurt.

Alice didn’t have time to lose on Collin. She pulled Ines and sniffed her. She frowned looking at her with a complicated expression.

Ines was coughing lightly and looking at Alice in confusion, looking like she was in pain.

Alice looked angrily at Lyana. She was almost misled by Lyana. She thought it was Ines who wanted to hurt her. Now that she thought about it, if Ines had wanted to hurt her, why would she use the same perfume as her?

– Lyana Dubois, you are clearly the one who gave me the drug of lust, but you still want to involve others. You are really shameless!

Alice screamed in exasperation. Previously, she had heard Ines mention how awful Lyana was.

– You killed your good friend and made my sister disappear. do you think nobody knows what you did?

Joseph was slightly surprised by Alice’s words. He asked in amazement,

– Alice, what did you say? Are you talking about Francoise?

– Dad, sister disappeared because of Lyana!

As soon as Alice’s words fell, chaos erupted.

Everyone looked at Lyana in disbelief. They never thought this little-known girl would have so many tricks up her sleeve.

– Where’s Francoise?

Joseph’s eyes had turned red and he was panting heavily. Francoise was his most beloved daughter.

Five years ago, she had disappeared. He had looked everywhere but couldn’t find her!

– Miss Duval, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I didn’t kill anyone and I didn’t kidnap your sister.

Lyana stopped, took out her cell phone and played a video.

The video was of Aubin and Alice trying to hurt him.

She looked at the clothes nearby and continued,

– Miss Duval, I only gave you a small dose of a coma-inducing drug. It’s definitely on the outside of your clothes, but the inside of your robe is stained with a lot of lust powder. As long as the police come, they’ll know if I’m right!

When Butler Duval heard Lyana’s words, he immediately walked over to the clothes and sniffled. Then he nodded to Joseph.

– Miss Duval, I only gave you the medicine in self-defense. The medicine I gave you only lasts for a minute, and it will only stun you for a little while,” Lyana said expressionlessly. The thing that really drove you crazy was the lust drug in your clothes. I have no enmity with you, and it is impossible for me to go to your dress before the banquet to add the drug of lust. Someone should have sprinkled it on your dress before you wore it.

The moment his words fell, everyone got excited.

Lyana’s scolding was truly amazing.

Vincent gave Lyana an approving look and gave a slight nod.

Alice looked at Lyana in frustration. Her face was red when she said angrily,

– Since you knew there was a lust drug in my clothes, why didn’t you tell me?

Lyana shook her phone and innocently said,

– Miss Duval, you wanted to beat me to death with a stick. What should I tell you? I don’t want to save someone who wants to kill me!

Joseph was about to collapse. Although her daughter was framed, Alice had already angered the Sanchez family. He was worried that…

– Enough!

Matriarch Duval broke. She glared at Alice. Alice was not as obedient and sensitive as Francoise.

– Miss Dubois, I would like to ask you if you know where Francoise is?

When Joseph heard Matriarch Duval’s question, he looked to Lyana in anticipation. He said,

‘We’ve been looking for Francoise for five years, but we haven’t found her. She met you before she disappeared!

Five years?

Vincent, who was standing to the side, frowned imperceptibly. He had previously investigated what happened five years ago and discovered that Martin and Francoise had disappeared.

He had thought that what happened five years ago was just between the two of them, but when he found out the jade pendant was in Ines’ hands, he didn’t dare jump to conclusions.

– I’m sorry, I didn’t see her, Lyana said without hesitation.

At that moment, everyone heard Ines’ cry of pain.

– Ah!

– I’m going to strangle you to death!

Alice clung to Ines’ neck with both hands, looking at her with a grim expression.

– I’m going to strangle you to death!

Alice’s terrifying appearance shocked Joseph. He walked over, slapped Alice and angrily said,

– What are you doing?

Alice was bleeding at the corner of her mouth. She pointed at Lyana and said furiously,

– Five years ago, Lyana strangled Martin to death like this. Then she strangled my sister like that!

At first, everyone thought it was just a simple incident of Alice falling into someone’s trap. However, they did not expect Martin and Francoise to be involved. Alice even accused Lyana of being a murderer in front of everyone.

She knew everyone thought she was a filthy rat that had crawled out of the gutter. All they felt for her now was disgust and hatred.

But even if her reputation was ruined, she had to find her sister and seek justice from her!

Alice stood up in tears and gestured to Lyana as she sobbed.

– It’s been five years. Sister and Martin have already been missing for five years. Lyana, you are awful. If you didn’t kill them, how could they have disappeared from the face of the earth?

– You killed my sister. For that, I will not let you go. I’m telling you… Before Alice could finish her sentence, she fainted and collapsed.
