A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

– Sister, you are wrong. At the time, Brother Collin was the one who wooed me. I say this today because I know you love him, so you can visit him if you wish. That’s all for you…

Ines retorted, refusing to be outdone.

“If so, then it’s just a piece of trash I didn’t want.” Is picking up a piece of trash I threw away really worth being happy about?

Lyana took the coffee cup in front of her and took a leisurely sip, then put it back.

She looked at Ines’ face, which now alternated between shades of green and white. She was in a very good mood. Her gaze fell on the jade pendant around Ines’ neck and she said:

– By the way, the owner of the pendant will be arriving at Villa Sanchez tonight. You can come tonight!

With that, Lyana got up and left.

That afternoon, she discovered that Ines had tagged her on her social media account. She opened the app to see a photo of the An City University graduation banquet.

Ines was worried that others wouldn’t be able to tell it was An City University, so she deliberately labeled the location as well.

A line of text has been added to the photo.

[ I am both extremely honored and incredibly proud to be a member of An City University. I hope my alma mater gets better and better! ]

Lyana scrolled through the photo and saw that there were a lot of comments. The comments section was full of Dubois family members, mostly distant relatives, praising Ines.

– Ines is the model of the Dubois family!

– Ines brought glory to the Dubois family!

– Ines is so much more remarkable than her sister. Considering how both were born from the same set of parents, how can the difference between them be so stark? ”

– You are right! Lyana never spends her time doing anything serious or worthwhile. She just walks around the trouble!

…

Lyana couldn’t be bothered to read the rest of the comments. Everyone adored Ines.

Lyana couldn’t help but laugh. She closed her social media app and walked to the window, looking at An CIty University. A joyful atmosphere filled the campus. His lips curved slightly.

Outside, An City University was filled with cheers and laughter. She came out of the medical lab and into the field. Immediately, she saw many students preparing decorations for the graduation banquet.

Collin and Ines were the most eye-catching people on stage.

Collin was a year older than Ines, and he was in his second year of master’s degree. He was also the most handsome boy in college. In fact, the most appealing thing about her was her family background.

The perrot family was also a well-known prestigious family in An City. For this reason, many young women wanted to marry Collin, just so they could soar in the sky.

As Collin’s girlfriend, Ines received countless looks filled with envy and jealousy. She smiled as she stood next to Collin, chatting with the other classmates.

Ines’ good friend, Louise Durand, approached her side and asked with a smile,

– Ines, is this person your sister?

Ines looked in the direction Louise was pointing and saw Lyana talking to a young man.

In effect.

She was right.

On the surface, Lyana had seemed dismissive of school activities, but in reality, she was eager to come here.

Ines smiles.

– Hey, it wasn’t easy for my sister to get an invitation to the graduation banquet. Let’s not bother her.

Louise immediately understood the meaning behind Ines’ words. Hastily, she spoke, making sure nearby juniors could hear her words.

– Ines, you are too nice. Your sister was able to set the school building on fire at the time. How can you be so gentle with her?

Ines smiled and shook her head. She explained,

– It was all a misunderstanding. Believe me, it was all a misunderstanding.

Louise’s words instantly piqued the curiosity of others within earshot. Just like that, Louise was driven away by the mob, who wanted to know more about the rumors.

Alice stood there with a sour expression. Every time she saw Lyana, she inevitably got angry. She looked at Ines with dissatisfaction.

– Wasn’t she expelled from school? How can she still get on campus?

Just as Ines was about to explain, she heard Alice say,

– Senior Collin, it’s been so many years, but she still loves you. When she found out you were here, she immediately came running.

When Collin heard Alice’s words, he felt an inexplicable sense of disgust. He was scheduled to deliver another speech tonight, as an outstanding alumnus of the undergraduate medical program. He didn’t want Lyana to disturb his good mood.

– Excuse me, I’ll take a look.

Collin gave Alice a smile.

He was really worried that Lyana would suddenly fall back into her old ways and set another school building on fire. Then it would be foolish to have the graduation banquet.

With that, Collin walked past the surrounding juniors and headed towards Lyana.

Ines didn’t want to go, but when she remembered how Collin had stared unblinkingly at Lyana the night before, she felt her heart skip a beat in fear. She quickly followed suit.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

From a distance, Lyana saw Collin and Ines walking towards her. She said to the man next to her,

– Do what we discussed. You can dispose.

– Yes, Miss Dubois.

With that, the man turned and walked out.

At that moment, Collin approached Lyana, not bothering to hide the disgust in his eyes. Suppressing his anger, he said,

– Let’s talk.

She surveyed her surroundings. It was only after seeing that there was no one else around that she recognized that Collin was talking to her. She sneered.

– I’m sorry, I have nothing to tell you.

– Lyana Dubois, you must know your place!

Collin looked at her, frowning.

If he hadn’t been worried about Lyana doing something crazy again, he wouldn’t have stooped to talk to her.

– You are crazy!

She turned to leave, but she was stopped by Collin.

– Five years ago, I told you clearly that I don’t love you. Why are you still chasing me? Collin’s hands clenched involuntarily into fists. If only he could get Lyana out of campus security.

– Collin Perrot, what do you mean by that?” do you mean I’m after you? She finally understood what Collin meant. Chuckling, she looked at him like he was a load of shit.

Collin met her gaze, his forehead involuntarily moving away.

– I’m really sorry, Collin Perrot. I am not at all interested in human excrement.

Lyana flashed a bright smile.

– Sister, stop.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Ines rushed forward to remove Collin, talking softly to Lyana as she did.

– I know you’re still interested in Brother Collin. He knows you’re rejecting him to hide your feelings, but he’s already my boyfriend. Can you please stop having ideas about him?

Collin had almost lost control of his anger. Fortunately, Ines had stopped him. Otherwise, if he were to lose his temper here tonight, his name would be trending on the internet the next day.

Collin’s gaze softened as he looked at Ines. Lyana was such a sensible girl.

She looked at the couple in front of her and smiled.

– You two are a perfect match. A fly belongs to human excrement.

With that, she turned and left without hesitation.

Collin was rooted to the ground, his face flushed with anger. He couldn’t think of a way to retort Lyana.

Feces?

How dare she tell him that!

She was just crazy!

He had to find a chance to humiliate her.

Ines could tell that something was wrong with Collin’s expression. Worried that he would fall apart, she carefully grabbed his hand and said softly,

– Brother Collin, don’t get too angry. My sister was kept in a mental hospital and there are problems with her brain. She is different from normal people like us. Seeing she’s my sister, don’t blame her anymore, okay?

Yes, Lyana was crazy!

He couldn’t lower himself to the level of a madman.

At that thought, Collin’s expression improved dramatically. He smiled at Ines and said softly,

– I understand. For you, I won’t be mad at her.

Back when he was courting Ines, she still didn’t want to be with him because of Lyana.

It hadn’t been easy for the two of them to come together, but he had never expected Lyana to neglect the brotherhood between her and Ines.

She really was a horrible person.
