A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

She refused to concede defeat.

It was all Lyana’s fault.

Lyana had stolen everything that originally belonged to her. She had to get it all back.

– Julia.

A soft voice echoed from the side, interrupting Julie’s thoughts.

Julie took a deep breath and instantly removed all thoughts. A sweet and adorable smile appeared on her face as she turned around.

– Sister Muriel.

Muriel wore a black knee-length dress today, revealing her sexy collarbone, but she looked a little tired.

She approached Julie and said softly:

– I went to the bathroom just now, but I did not find you. I thought you had gone home.

Julie hastened to display a faint smile and approached Muriel. She took Muriel’s arm and said softly

– If I leave, I must first tell Sister Muriel. Also, today is a special day. I also want to offer incense to the eldest daughter of the Royer family.

Ever since Julie had been kicked out of the Sanchez family, she had been hiding everywhere. She knew Matriarch Sanchez was coming to the Royers today, so she couldn’t wait to look for Muriel.

She was just telling Muriel that there was a misunderstanding between her and Grandmother. Dadi was mad at her now, so she temporarily parted from Dadi. She wanted to take the opportunity to reconcile with her today.

The Sanchez and Royer families had a good relationship. Julie and Muriel had grown up together, so Muriel had no doubts about Julie’s words.

– Grandma Sanchez could come a little later. I’ll let you know when it arrives.

Muriel held Julie’s hand and entered, giving instructions in a low voice:

– When Grandma Sanchez leaves, talk to her properly. I don’t think she’ll be mad at you anymore.

– OK.

Julie lowered her gaze and nodded obediently.

– Then come with me now. There’s a lot to do today, so I might not be able to take care of you. Why don’t you stay in my room?

Muriel was also busy with the anniversary of the death of the eldest daughter of the Royer family. If Julie hadn’t grown up with her, she certainly wouldn’t have entertained him then.

– Sister Muriel, go do your business. Do not worry about me. I also know the Royer family. I can manage on my own, Julie said softly.

Muriel thought she often came to the Royer family, and that she was very reasonable. Nothing should happen.

Suddenly, Muriel seems to have thought of something. She pursed her lips slightly and looked up at Julie.

– By the way, I heard that Lyana lives in the Sanchez residence?

Hearing Muriel’s question, Julie’s eyebrows arched.

Muriel looked at Julie in surprise and asked in confusion:

– What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?

Julie pursed her lips distressedly, tears welling up in her eyes. She shook her head gently and said ruefully:

– Lyana likes Brother Vincent. Also, Grandma and I had a misunderstanding this time, and she was the one playing tricks behind our backs. She wanted to kick me out of the Sanchez family and marry Brother Vincent.

– Eh?

– Sister Muriel, I am telling the truth.

Muriel’s eyes flickered, but she pretended to be puzzled.

– I was just wondering if there was a misunderstanding between you two. I don’t think she’s that kind of person.

– Sister Muriel, you can’t judge a book by its cover, but maybe I’m thinking too much.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Muriel tensed and held Julie’s arm as they entered. She comforted her:

– Actually, it’s normal for the elders to have some disagreements with us. Don’t think too much. Old people need to be coaxed. As long as you make Grandma Sanchez happy, she won’t be mad at you.

When Julie heard Muriel’s words, she remembered her grandmother’s determined expression that night. Her eyes darkened instantly, but she still replied:

– All right.

Julie followed Muriel inside. After taking two steps, she seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Muriel hesitantly, then lowered her head.

Muriel naturally noticed Julie’s gaze. She asked curiously:

– What’s wrong with you? Why can’t you tell me directly? We are good friends.
