A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Seeing that Muriel had no objection, Matriarch Royer nodded. Just as she was about to accept, she remembered what Julie had done earlier and said solemnly:

– That child, Julie, may have placed something in Muriel’s room that could hurt you. Do you really want to go take a look?

Lyana smiled and nodded.

“Matriarch Royer, don’t worry. I will definitely be extra careful and protect myself.

Daniel thought about Julie’s vicious methods and said:

– I will accompany you.

When Lyana heard Daniel’s words, she looked at him intently. She nodded warmly and said:

– THANKS.

– The pleasure is mine.

Daniel smiled at Lyana.

With a slight smile on her face, Lyana looked at Matriarch Royer and said respectfully and politely:

“Matriarch Royer, we’ll go now.

When she heard Lyana’s words, she nodded.

“Then go ahead. Be careful when the time comes. Don’t hurt yourself.

Muriel’s gaze fell on Matriarch Royer’s face. She said softly:

– Grandmother, I’m going to bring Miss Dubois.

– Yes.

Matriarch Royer gently pats the back of Muriel’s hand.

Muriel let go of the Matriarch’s hand and walked towards Lyana. She smiled and said:

“Miss Dubois, please follow me.”

“Thank you for your trouble, Miss Johnson. She thanked her.

Hearing Lyana’s words, Muriel smiled and shook her head.

– Miss Dubois, call me Muriel from now on.

Muriel and Lyana walk in front, while Daniel follows them. At that time, Vincent was also following them.

Lyam unknowingly followed.

Matriarch Royer understood why Vincent had followed her. After all, Lyana was his wife.

Why did Lyam want to follow her?

What does this have to do with Lyam?

Matriarch Royer stopped Lyam without hesitation.

“Liam, where are you going?”

It was only then that he realized his actions were a bit strange in the eyes of Matriarch Royer.

He stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Matriarch Royer.

“I want to follow her and take a look. She might need my help.

When Lyana heard Lyam’s words, she turned to look at him.

Muriel, who was next to Lyana, also looked at Lyam. She lowered her gaze slightly, realizing that Second Brother really cared about Lyana.

Matriarch Royer remembered that at the dining table, Lyam picked up some food for Lyana. Now his expression darkened instantly. She said sternly,

“Stop there.

Lyam reluctantly stopped.

Matriarch Royer felt like Lyam couldn’t quite figure out how close they were.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

However, he had always treated Lyana so well. What if Vincent suspected that Lyana had an inappropriate relationship with him?

The reason the Sanchez and Royer families got along so well was first and foremost that both families knew their limits. Second, each knew the other’s taboos.

Matriarch Royer had also heard from Matriarch Sanchez how much Vincent loved Lyana. If Lyam interfered and ruined the wedding, that would be a huge problem.

Lyam walked over to Matriarch Royer’s side, eyes downcast, looking unhappy.

Seeing that Lyana and the others were gone and there were no strangers around, Matriarch Royer said:

“Don’t get so close to Lyana in the future.

Alexia stood to the side in silence, but she also loved Sister Lyana very much. However, Second Brother had really gone too far this time.

Previously, she did not know about the relationship between Sister Lyana and Vincent, but now she understood. These two were a couple. Why would Second Brother go to see them?

Seeing that Lyam was silent, Matriarch Royer thought he hadn’t taken her words to heart at all. She asked,

“Did you hear what I said?”

Lyam looked up at William, wishing he would come to his defense. However, William stood there and ignored her pleading gaze.

“Lyam, you are so close to Vincent. You can’t do anything to hurt Vincent.

Matriarch Royer said seriously.

Hearing Matriarch Royer’s words become more and more ridiculous, Lyam couldn’t take it anymore. He said :

“Grandma, I know my limits. I’m just worried about Second Brother’s health.

Matriarch Royer rolled her eyes at Lyam. How could she believe Lyam’s lie?

Lyana and the others quickly arrived in Muriel’s room.

Muriel pushed the door absently, but her mind was still filled with Lyam’s attitude towards Lyana.

She really couldn’t understand why Second Brother was so nice to Lyana.

Second Brother was a cold person. He only treated his family well. Even his younger sister, who had grown up with him for over ten years, was treated with indifference by him.

Muriel felt she had to investigate this case thoroughly.

Daniel’s gaze fell on Vincent’s face. He frowned slightly, a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes.

Today, Vincent was a little different from usual.

In the past, he had always been indifferent and his eyes were filled with coldness. But today it was different. Vincent’s gaze was fixed on Lyana’s face, his deep eyes were filled with a strong sense of aggression.

Daniel was a man, so he understood Vincent’s gaze very well.

He couldn’t believe that Vincent really loved Lyana.

Everyone followed her into Muriel’s room.

Seeing that Lyana had walked to the bed and was about to lift the blanket, Daniel rushed over and said:

“Let me do it.

At this moment, Vincent spoke.

– Let me do it.

Lyana stood by the bed. She looked at Daniel and Vincent and smiled.

“I can do it myself.

Muriel glanced at Daniel, then at Lyana. She quickly smiles and says:

“Why wouldn’t I? I’m the most familiar with my bed.

Lyana’s impression of Muriel has improved a bit. She shook her head gently and said:

– I am a doctor. If there is a problem, I can find out immediately. Let me do it.

With that, Lyana casually lifted the blanket.

However, under the blanket was a clean bed sheet. There was nothing else.

Muriel frowned slightly. Her gaze fell on the dressing table and she said:

“Could it be on the dressing table?” I will see.

With that, she headed for the dressing table. She glances at it. There was no sign that anyone had touched her.

Muriel pretended to open the drawer, but her gaze was fixed on Daniel in the mirror.

Third Brother continued to stare at Lyana without flinching. It was obvious that he had a good impression of her.

Muriel pursed her lips slightly and remembered when she was in the Buddhist room.

Third Brother was clearly angry and upset over the destruction of his sister’s urn, but Lyana called him Third Brother. In the end, he didn’t lose his temper with Lyana.

It was obvious that Lyana was special for Third Brother.

Lyana folded the blanket and put it aside. The bed was bare. Apart from the pillow, she saw nothing else.

It’s strange, how can it be?

She knew very well that what Julie had left for her was definitely not something good.

But she was still curious.

Lyana’s gaze inadvertently landed on the pillow. Only then did she notice a brown stain on the edge of the white pillow. If she remembered correctly, it must have been the color of a folder.

Lyana picked up the folder.

Lyana said to Muriel, who was still rummaging in the nearby dressing table:

“Miss Johnson, I already found him.

Muriel closed the dressing table door and smiled.

“It’s good that you found it.

Their eyes fell all four on the file. Lyana wanted to open it now, but she remembered that Julie had left it to herself. She decided to open it when she returned.

With that thought in mind, Lyana put the folder away.

Seeing Lyana’s actions, Vincent’s eyes darkened slightly. Perplexed, he asked:

“Aren’t you going to open it now?”
