A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Everyone entered the house. As Selena Mills was about to pour water on them, she heard Matheo talking.

‘Miss Mills, it’s not worth the trouble. It’s getting late. Why not pack your bags earlier? We’ll take you to An City together, and you’ll soon be able to see Ornella.

When Selena Mills heard the words “An City,” her eyes couldn’t help but turn red.

After so many years, she could finally go back.

She didn’t have to live in Sancity anymore. She could return to An City in glory.

At the thought that she was about to be reunited with her family, tears of joy flowed uncontrollably.

She raised her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes and looked at Matheo hopefully.

“Mr. Harris, has Ornella found my parents?”

Matheo replied without changing his expression:

“Ornella has already found her family.

When Selena Mills heard Matheo’s words, she thought she really had found her parents. She couldn’t help but smile and say with relief:

– Well, that’s good. She won’t have to suffer with me anymore.

Matheo nodded.

“Let’s go early!”

He distrusted the words of Selena mills.

If she was really poor, how could she afford such an expensive perfume?

However, these things did not enter into his considerations.

Elke nodded eagerly.

“Okay, Mr. Harris, wait for me.

She went to her room, took out her suitcase and placed her usual things inside.

In fact, she didn’t feel like packing at all.

She knew that when she found her parents, they would certainly prepare other things for her, such as clothes, shoes and handbags.

After all, the Royer family was extremely wealthy.

His good days had arrived.

However, she still claimed to be packing. After packing a suitcase, she headed for the living room and smiled at Matheo.

“Mr. Harris, I’ve already packed. Let’s go now.

One of Matheo’s subordinates took the box with great foresight.

She was sitting in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce. She was looking out the window.

She could finally leave the slums of Sancity, a place where even flies and rats didn’t want to stay long.

She never wanted to come back.

Although she had lived here for a long time, she had no feelings for this place.

All she wanted to do now was leave this smelly place.

Selena Mills’ beautiful and exquisite face was reflected in the car window. His lips curved into a mocking smile.

…

The next morning.

When Lyana woke up, she inadvertently put her hand next to the bed. When she opened her eyes, she realized that Vincent had already woken up.

The bedding next to the bed had already turned cold. It looked like he woke up early.

Lyana remembered what he told her last night.

Strangely, she couldn’t remember when she had seen Vincent.

It seemed he could only find the results in his diary.

She took out her phone. It was already eight o’clock in the morning. She had received another message from Matheo at midnight last night.

“I already picked her up. She will arrive tomorrow at noon.”

When Lyana saw this message, her expression became more and more serious. She had a strange feeling.

She remembered the calluses on Ornella’s hands. She really wanted to see her mother.

She had to plan everything carefully.

She pursed her lips and moved her fingers. Then she sent a message to Matheo. “How is Ornella’s mother?”

Matheo responded very quickly.

“Not bad. She looks like a pampered young lady!”

When Lyana saw those words, her eyebrows arched.

Ornella had worked so hard. Why did she look like a pampered young woman?

She distrusted Ornella’s mother. It looked like there would be a lot of trouble in the days to come.

She remembered what she had asked Matheo to investigate earlier and sent another message. “I asked you to investigate the disappearance of the eldest daughter of the Royer family. How is your investigation going?”

Initially, she had not revealed her true identity to Matheo. However, she thought that even if she didn’t tell Matheo, he could still find out her true identity. So she revealed her true identity to him.

When Matheo Harris discovered that she was the eldest daughter of the Royer family, he was shocked.

She still remembers Matheo Harris asking her,

“How did you grow an arm?”

The alleged eldest daughter of the Royer family had only one arm when she was found.

But Lyana’s arms were fine.

This proves one thing.

She may have grown a new arm herself.

Lyana felt that something was wrong in Matheo’s brain.

He was sitting in the car. When he saw Lyana’s message, he frowned slightly, his expression becoming even more serious.

To be honest, the kidnapping of the eldest daughter of the Royer family caused a huge stir.

Soon the kidnappers were found and the three of them were executed.

However, when he investigated this time, he discovered something strange.

Matheo Harris held his phone and hesitated for a long time before answering Lyana’s message.

“You have to mentally prepare yourself for what I’m going to say next!” It could subvert your understanding.

– Yes ?

He thought for a moment and added:

“Everyone thinks the eldest daughter of the Royer family is missing an arm, but your arm is intact.

“Are you trying to say that I have the ability to regrow an arm?”

He ignored Lyana’s teasing.

– I discovered…

Lyana was washing herself. When she finished washing her face, she saw the text that Matheo Harris had sent. She was stunned on the spot.

Her lips were pale and she pinched them gently. She looked at the message on her phone in disbelief!

How was this possible?

She rubbed her eyes and looked again.

At the time, Ms. Royer had personally carried out a DNA test on the corpse.

She felt dizzy. It was not easy for her to grab hold of the table beside her to stabilize her swaying body.

No, it was absolutely impossible.

How could it be a DNA paternity test that her mother had personally performed for her?

Half of his arm clearly didn’t belong to him.

How could his mother have detected his DNA?

Lyana narrowed her eyes.

Previously, when she had found her brother, she had felt that the only person capable of altering the corpse was the medical examiner. When she asked Matheo Harris to investigate this case, she asked him to focus on the medical examiner.

However, she had never thought that her mother was the one who had tested her broken limb over twenty years ago.

It’s not possible that her mother wanted to kill her!

It was absolutely impossible!

Everyone knew that after Mrs. Royer lost her beloved daughter, she suffered from depression and took things too seriously.

Later, Mrs. Royer gave birth to Alexia. From then on, his condition gradually improved.

It was precisely because Mrs. Royer could not accept the death of her eldest daughter that she did not want to return home. She didn’t want to see anything related to her eldest daughter anymore.

Lyana thought Madame Royer would never kill her.

But why didn’t Big Brother tell him about it at the time?

Could it be that Big Brother didn’t believe Mom was behind it either? To keep his imagination from racing, he didn’t talk about it.

Or maybe it was because Big Brother knew his mother had done these things and he was worried she was sad, so he never told her.

Lyana slowly closed her eyes.

If her mother had really done that, then she didn’t need to go back to the Royer family anymore, because it was no longer her home.

At that moment, footsteps came from the door.

Lyana was like a frightened kitten. Her hair stood on end and she stared at the door without blinking.

Vincent stood to the side, taking in the fear and unease in Lyana’s eyes.

He frowns slightly. He looked at Lyana with concern and asked

“Why are you so pale?” You do not feel well ?

As he spoke, he approached Lyana and tested the temperature of her forehead with the back of his hand.

No fever!

He takes Lyana’s hand. Only then did he realize his hand was cold, like ice cubes from the freezer.

He placed Lyana’s hand in his palm and looked at her intently.

– What happened ?

She shook her head and said:

– Nothing !

As she spoke, she locked her phone screen. She was terrified and was shaking slightly.

Vincent frowns. Seeing Lyana in this state, he remained silent for a while.

“If something happens, you can tell me directly.
