A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

When Lyana heard Vincent’s words, her heart instantly raced in her throat. Eventually, it slowly fell back to its original place.

She was too eager to meet her family. Maybe that’s why his current behavior was very abnormal. Even Vincent had already discovered that she was a bit abnormal.

If these people had spies in the Royer family, it would be terrible if they noticed her abnormality and discovered that she already knew her true identity.

Then she would be in danger. She could even put the whole Royer family in danger.

Lyana looked down, her eyes filled with complicated emotions. In order to protect her family, she absolutely could not betray herself.

At this thought, she shook her head and said:

– I’m doing well.

Vincent did not speak. He looked at Lyana with a complicated expression.

After walking for about ten minutes, the three arrived at the Buddhist hall.

It was the second time she came here.

She looked at the yard filled with flowers, then the house that looked like a fairy tale castle. Her heart was filled with complicated emotions.

Everyone in the Royer family really loved the eldest daughter in their family and gave her things that girls liked.

Lyana followed everyone into the house. At a glance, she saw the dejected Matriarch Royer.

Matriarch Royer’s hair had turned white. She looked tired and sad. Her eyes were red and bloodshot, as if she hadn’t slept in a long time.

Lyana felt a little oppressed in her chest.

If those things hadn’t happened back then, she might have been happy. Matriarch Royer wouldn’t be so sad.

Alexia stood next to Matriarch Royer and lowered her head to speak to her, as if to comfort her.

Beside Alexia stood the adopted daughter of the Royer family, Muriel.

A young woman stood next to Muriel. His back was facing them. Lyana felt like this woman’s back was a bit familiar to her, but she couldn’t remember.

William walked forward and called

– Grandmother.

When Matriarch Royer heard William’s voice, she looked up at him, not hiding the sadness in her eyes at all.

– Yes

Matriarch Royer said weakly.

At that moment, the young woman who was standing next to Muriel turned around.

His gaze fell on the faces of Vincent and Lyana. Her eyes were filled with joy and she greeted them with a sweet smile.

– Brother Vincent, Sister Lyana.

When Lyana heard Julie’s voice, her stomach revolted and she almost threw up.

She had a bad feeling.

Vincent frowned slightly and didn’t look directly at Julie.

At that moment, Julie noticed Vincent’s attitude. A trace of sadness crossed her eyes, but she quickly calmed down. She smiled at William and Lyam and greeted them.

His voice was soft and pleasant to the ear.

– Brother William, Brother Lyam.

William did not speak. Without even looking at Julie, he walked over to Matriarch Royer.

Lyam looked coldly at Julie. His thin lips parted slightly and he said casually and sarcastically:

– I have already been very clear before. You have the head of a fish. Your memory only lasts seven seconds. I never had a sister like you.

Julie’s face went pale. She remained planted on the ground awkwardly, distraught.

William stood next to Matriarch Royer. He remembered the information he had found previously. Julie framed Sugar for her own selfish reasons.

It was during his medical school speech. He didn’t know that Lyana was his sister.

At that time, Julie had made fun of Lyana in public and had even ripped off Sugar’s blouse.

Although she was the one who embarrassed herself that day, when he thought about what Julie had done to Sugar, the anger in his chest burned.

William raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a serious expression,

– I’m going to remind you one last time. If you’re still screaming, I’ll ask the butler to kick you out of the Royer family.

William’s words weren’t polite at all, giving Julie no face.

When Julie heard William’s words, her face went pale with fear. She bit her lip and looked at William in awe, but she couldn’t say anything.

How could she not have thought that the Royer brothers would treat her like their enemy just by greeting her?

Could it be that these two already knew that she was kicked out by Grandma?

No, it was impossible.

There was no way Grandma would tell anyone.

She knew Grandmother very well. Even though she was very angry and kicked her out, Dadi would still give her face in front of strangers.

Why were William and Lyam so fierce towards her? She couldn’t understand him.

When Muriel heard William and Lyam’s words, she frowned slightly, a trace of confusion shining in her eyes.

Either way, she was a guest she had brought here. Why didn’t his brothers face him this time?

Could it really be for Lyana?

Previously, she had heard from Julie that she was in conflict with Grandma Sanchez because of Lyana’s bad intentions.

In fact, she was a little skeptical about it.

Lyana was just a stranger. Why would Grandma Sanchez be mad at Julie because of a stranger?

But now she believes her. Her two brothers despised Julie because of Lyana.

Muriel’s gaze landed on Lyana’s face.

She was very beautiful, and her face was very exquisite. She was even prettier than other female celebrities in the entertainment industry.

With her natural physique, Lyana would definitely be able to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry.

Could it be that their two brothers are so cold with Julie because they love Lyana?

What ability did Lyana have to play with her two brothers and Vincent?

Muriel felt that the atmosphere was very awkward. She quickly smiled and said:

– It’s getting late. Everyone, hurry up and offer some incense.

Matriarch Royer, who was originally grieving, also felt the atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward. She didn’t want anything to happen on the anniversary of her precious granddaughter’s death, so she said:

– Come and offer incense.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

As she spoke, Matriarch Royer entered. Lyana followed suit and saw that Matriarch Royer’s hair was much lighter than before.

When she went to the hall of the temple, she saw Matriarch Royer’s heartbroken expression when she saw the urn. His heart ached.

In the grandmother’s heart, she had been dead for more than twenty years.

She looked at her Grandmother with a pang in her heart. She didn’t understand. “She” had clearly been dead for over ten years. Why was grandma still so sad?

Didn’t they say that time could dilute all sorrows?

Why did Grandma stay in the past?

Alexia was inadvertently seen by Lyana. When she met Lyana’s gaze, a trace of confusion shone in her eyes.

Sister Lyana’s eyes looked complicated. There was a slight sadness in her eyes, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated…

However, the one thing she was sure of was that Sister Lyana’s eyes were filled with concern for Grandma.

Sister Lyana certainly couldn’t bear to see Grandma continue to be sad because of her sister’s death.

In fact, she also thought that Grandma should move on from her sister’s death, but it was like a wall had been built in Grandma’s heart. She refused to let everyone in and leave this sad memory behind.

She watched Lyana’s heart sink for her grandmother. It was as if the family members cared about each other.

Odd.

Sister Lyana should have nothing to do with Grandma. Why was she so affectionate with Grandma?

Alexia suddenly remembered something. This time, Grandma had asked Sister Lyana to embroider a blessing bag for her sister.

Alexia says to Lyana:

– Sister Lyana, I heard you also embroidered a blessing bag for my sister this time?

Lyana retracted her gaze and her gaze landed on Alexia’s face.

– Yes.

Alexia was a lively and cheerful girl.

She still remembered the speech in medical school. When everyone thought something was wrong with her, she believed her.

Lyana took the box from Thomas and handed it to Alexia.

– It’s in this box.

Hearing everyone talking about the Blessing Bag, Matriarch Royer’s gaze fell on the box.

– Thank you, Sister Lyana.

Alexia carefully picked up the box and brought it to Matriarch Royer.
