A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Julie raised her hand to wipe away her tears. She sniffled and asked:

“I told you I wasn’t lying. You clearly hate the eldest daughter of the Royer family to the highest degree. It was you who did this.

Lyana looked at Julie calmly. She thought it was no big deal for her to know that Vincent was engaged to the eldest daughter of the Royer family.

She no longer thought of hiding it. She nodded and said,

‘Grandmother told me about that.

She thought Grandma would never tell Julie.

Julie had been kicked out of the Sanchez family villa. So where had she heard this news?

Could one of the servants be Julie’s spy?

Or were all the servants on Julie’s side?

Although Lyana doesn’t know how Julie found out about the Sanchez family villa, she’s sure she’s always been concerned about the Sanchez family.

Julie had been hiding in the dark, looking for an opportunity to return to the Sanchez family.

Muriel, who was standing to the side, glanced at Lyana and asked in confusion:

– What does it mean?

When Julie heard Muriel’s words, she knew Muriel believed her. She hastened to say:

“Sister Muriel, in fact, anyone can be jealous. No matter how Lyana hides it, she will always be jealous of the eldest daughter of the Royer family. You should know that the eldest daughter of the Royer family and Brother Vincent were once engaged.

At that point, Julie paused for a moment and continued:

– For two years, Lyana has been embroidering blessing bags for the eldest daughter of the Royer family. They’re too small. As long as she thinks about embroidering blessing bags for her love rival, she will definitely feel uncomfortable.

After Julie’s words, Muriel instantly realized that Lyana loved Vincent.

Muriel’s gaze fell on Lyam’s face. Seeing that Lyam stared blankly at Lyana, she frowned imperceptibly.

At that time, Julie had even said that Lyana loved Lyam.

Instantly, she paid attention to the interaction between Lyam and Lyana.

For some reason, she felt like Lyana didn’t seem to have feelings for Second Brother. On the contrary, Second Brother stared at Lyana.

Just now, Second Brother also spoke for her.

Muriel’s frown deepened. Could it be that Second Brother really fell in love with Lyana?

His heart trembles slightly. Frantically, she looked away, distraught.

When Lyana heard Julie’s words, she said with admiration:

– Miss Leroy’s ability to invent stories is as amazing as ever. I wonder how true this story is?

Wiping away her tears, Julie’s slender body trembles slightly. She said cautiously

– I do not lie. I tell the truth.

“In this world, evidence is everything. So show me the evidence.

Lyana looked at Julie and said calmly.

– Proofs ? Sister Lyana, your medical skills are so brilliant. Even if you tampered with the Blessing Bag by chance, you cannot be unaware of it.

She sniffled, her eyes rimmed red.

“How could I know what you did?”

Lyana smiled and asked:

“Since you know my medical skills are brilliant and I’m capable, I’ll definitely do what I want without anyone knowing, much less add sulfuric acid to the Blessing Bag. How could I make such a low level mistake?

Julie was stunned by Lyana’s words. She immediately said:

“It’s dark under the lights. You added something to the blessing bag on purpose. This way, no one will suspect that you did it.

“You’re right, but I wouldn’t do such a thing.

Lyana’s beautiful fox eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze settling on Julie’s bag.

The corrosiveness of sulfuric acid was very strong. This means that when Grandma and Alexia took the blessing bag, it must not have been tampered with.

After that, she wasn’t sure.

In other words, the blessing bag had been tampered with in the Buddhist hall.

If so, one of them must have still been carrying sulfuric acid, since none of them had left the Buddhist room.

Even if this person didn’t have sulfuric acid on them, they must have been able to find sulfuric acid nearby.

However, she thought that person probably wouldn’t throw the sulfuric acid, because there were too many people nearby. It would be too obvious to lose something.

Lyana knew what to do. She stared without flinching at the bag in Julie’s hand. Of all the people present, only Julie had brought her bag.

Seeing Lyana staring at her bag, a trace of nervousness crossed Julie’s eyes. She hurriedly put her bag behind her and lowered her head pitifully, tears falling silently.

Lyana lowered her gaze and asked:

“What did you put in your bag?”

– These are just ordinary cosmetics.

Julie’s voice carried a trace of sorrow. She slowly looked up at Lyana and asked sadly:

“Do you suspect me on purpose so that you can clear your name?”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Vincent’s eyebrows arched.

William and Lyam’s expressions darkened. They didn’t expect Julie to blame Lyana.

William narrowed his eyes and looked at Julie insistently. He had already decided in his heart that he would not let Julie into the Sanchez family again.

Seeing Julie like this, Lyam somehow remembered Leslie Dean that night. She had also blamed Lyana in such an unsatisfied way, directly blaming Lyana for everything.

Lyam knew very well that she liked him, but Leslie didn’t like that he was so close to Lyana. She felt like Lyana had taken her away.

After Sugar’s kidnapping, the servants in the house had already been changed. The remaining people were all loyal to the Royer family.

Also, there were only a few people in the Buddhist hall right now.

Excluding all members of the Royer family, only Vincent, Lyana and Julie remained.

Lyam narrowed his eyes.

If he hadn’t recognized his sister, he would have immediately suspected Lyana, because the latter indeed had a motive for damaging the urn.

But Lyana was Sugar. How could she have damaged this urn?

Lyam’s gaze fell on Julie. The only possibility was that Julie had deliberately damaged the urn, thus wanting to trap Lyana.

How exactly did Julie do this?

As Sugar had said, no matter what, he had to rely on evidence. He had to find evidence to prove Sugar’s innocence.

Lyam’s gaze fell involuntarily on Julie’s bag.

No wonder Sugar suspected Julie’s bag. Under such circumstances, if it was him, he would think the same.

– Oh…

Lyana looked at Julie meaningfully and walked towards her step by step.

Julie watched Lyana approach. She pursed her lips nervously and took a step back, wanting to distance herself from Lyana.

When she wasn’t paying attention, Lyana quickly took a step forward and snatched her bag.

– My bag.

Julie exclaimed. She reached out to retrieve her bag, but Lyana had already opened it and dumped everything in it on the floor.

Cosmetics and necessities fell on the floor in a scattered pile.

A faint smell of flowers escaped from the bag and spread through the air. It was the scent of lilies.

Julie picked up her bag and glared at Lyana.

“Liana, you really went too far. How can you spill all my stuff? You are too rude.

Ignoring Lyana, Julie crouched down and was about to put everything back in her bag.

Lyana glanced at the items on the floor. Apart from some common lipsticks, powder, accessories and tissues, there was also a bottle of perfume.

Laboratories usually place sulfuric acid in brown glass bottles for easy storage.

Of the items on the floor, only the perfume bottle was a glass bottle.

Although the perfume bottle is transparent, you could also put sulfuric acid in it, but it was not good for preservation.

If Julie came here to destroy the blessing bag, she could just put the sulfuric acid in the perfume bottle.

After thinking about all of this, Lyana unconsciously leaned over to pick up the perfume.

However, before Lyana’s hand could touch the perfume bottle, Julie nervously held the perfume in her palm. She looked at Lyana with red-rimmed eyes and asked:

– Lyana, are you finished?

Lyana’s expression was calm. Her gaze was fixed on the perfume bottle as she asked:

“What exactly is inside?”

“You ask what is obvious.

Julie’s voice wasn’t as calm as before. Instead, there was a hint of madness.

Lyana looked up at Julie and realized she was shaking. His face was pale, with no trace of blood.
