A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

– What do we have to do? Someone comes!

Laura was freaking out. Although she did no harm, if others found out that Miss Alice Duval was sleeping with a man in public, she would certainly hold a grudge against her. It would be the same for the whole Duval family.

A trace of panic flashed in Ines’ eyes. She had initially thought that Lyana would also be present, but contrary to her expectations, there was only Alice, with a wretch. It was terrible. If Matriarch Duval knew that Ines had ruined Alice’s purity in front of everyone, then the Dubois family…

That wouldn’t do.

She couldn’t let the Dubois family fall into danger.

Seeing a socialite take out her phone to record the scene, Ines seemed to have thought of something. She turned to leave, but saw Lyana staring at her meaningfully not far away.

Ines quickly looked away, not daring to meet Lyana’s eyes. Slowly, she pressed her slender fingers to her temple and weakly collapsed to the floor, pretending to pass out.

Laura had wanted to ask Ines for help. Seeing Ines fainting, she cried hastily,

– Ines! Ines, what’s wrong? Wake up!

When the socialite heard Laura’s words, she turned to Ines, who was now lying on the ground. As she was about to speak, a servant rushed up.

– What happened?

The Duvals’ butler looked at Ines, lying on the floor. Just as he finished talking, he heard the sound of making love not far away. He looked up and saw the third young mistress in his family sitting naked on top of a man, bouncing up and down.

– Miss!

At this moment, the butler didn’t have time to pay attention to the person lying on the floor. He quickly ran towards the two people locked in an embrace on the lawn. When he saw that his family’s young mistress was completely naked, his expression immediately soured. He immediately removed his suit jacket, draping it over Alice Duval’s body.

– Go away.

She was already fully under the control of the lust drug. She pushed away the butler, who was trying to pull her away from the man, and threw away the suit jacket. She then threw herself on the man with excitement.

The butler had no choice but to knock Alice down and drag her away.

– What is happening here?

Along with many others, Matriarch Duval rushed onto the scene. When she saw Alice in the butler’s arms, her gaze landed on Alice’s bare legs. At that moment, she understood everything. She cried sternly,

– Butler, what’s going on?

Matriarch Duval was known to be strict with her children. However, on this special day, her granddaughter had sex in front of everyone. How could she tolerate this!

Matriarch Duval grips her walking stick firmly. In order to protect the reputation of the Duval family, she could only let Alice suffer.

– Wake her up!

Matriarch Duval pointed at Alice and said angrily,

– And this man, bring him!

Butler Shen splashed pool water on Alice, waking her from her coma. He then tied the man up and threw him in front of Matriarch Duval.

– Ah!

When Alice woke up, she found she was wearing only a suit jacket. The suit jacket barely covered his thighs. If it moved slightly, it would be on public display.

She gripped the jacket in panic, her face flushed with embarrassment and fear. Shivering, she curled up on herself. Everything that had just happened replayed in his mind.

It was finished!

It was finished!

Alice breathed coldly. How could she be so desperate to be with a man like Ah San?

No, she couldn’t be so blind.

Alice suddenly remembered that Lyana had sprinkled powder on her earlier. Her eyes lit up and she immediately screamed,

– Grandma, please save me! I fell into someone’s trap!

When onlookers heard Alice’s words, they all expressed their disbelief. One by one they started to mumble softly.

– I did not expect that the young mistress Duval is so uninhibited.

– Who knew? The love of young mistress Duval has really broadened my horizons!

‘I heard it was young mistress Duval who jumped on the servant. This poor servant. He could lose his job because of Miss Duval.

…

Matriarch Duval had already thought about punishing Alice. However, when she heard Alice’s words, her eyes brushed up.

Ever since she was a child, Alice had grown up alongside Matriarch Duval. Although she is arrogant and strong-willed, she would never do such an outrageous thing.

– Tell me, what really happened? Hearing the discussion from the surrounding onlookers, Matriarch Duval spoke sternly, her eyes as cold as ice.

Lyana slowly stepped in from the other side. She looked at Ines, who was still lying on the floor, and nonchalantly stepped on Ines’ hand. Seeing that she stood still, she stepped on the back of her hand again, her expression blank. Lyana thinks to herself

– Let’s see who is the best to play!

– Grandma, you have to do me justice! With tears streaming down her face, Alice pointed at Lyana in the crowd, screaming loudly.

– It’s Lyana Dubois! She’s the one who wants to hurt me!

Matriarch Sanchez stood next to Matriarch Duval. At Alice’s words, her expression immediately deteriorated. Without waiting for Matriarch Duval to speak, she said,

– Miss Duval, you have to take responsibility for your words. My daughter-in-law would never do something so despicable.

Matriarch Duval and Matriarch Sanchez had always been close. In the words of Matriarch Sanchez, Matriarch Duval’s expression also turned ugly.

Alice was rooted to the spot, stunned. Her face was extremely pale and her lips were quivering. She swallowed nervously.

What was Matriarch Sanchez trying to say? Was she trying to say she framed Lyana?

Alice was about to take a step forward, but felt that any move would cause the wardrobe to malfunction. She had no choice but to stand there, glaring at Lyana. She originally wanted to harm Lyana, but she never expected her to end up in trouble!

She knew very well that if she didn’t put the blame on Lyana, her future would be ruined.

– Lyana, are you the one who drugged me? If you have courage, then move on. Alice screamed. She was determined to make sure Lyana was completely destroyed. If she couldn’t ruin Lyana, then her name wasn’t Alice Duval.

Once again, everyone’s gaze fell on Lyana’s face. No one was present and knew who Lyana was. The moment she appeared at the banquet, she immediately became familiar with everyone present.

Lyana stood there calmly, her lips pursed in a straight line. Looking coldly at Alice, she started walking towards her. Wherever she walked, the crowd automatically separated.

She met Alice’s irritated gaze fearlessly, her red lips curving upward. It was as if she was telling Alice that if she did any more unjust acts, she would bring about her own destruction!

Alice looked into Lyana’s eyes, and a tinge of panic crossed her mind. She barely grasps the sleeves of the suit jacket, her heart beating wildly.

Just then, Matriarch Duval’s eldest son, Joseph Duval, also arrived on the scene. He was Alice’s biological father.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Joseph Duval was rooted to the ground. Behind his gold-rimmed glasses, his dark eyes were filled with shock. He didn’t know how to react.

She was his youngest daughter. She had been pampered and spoiled since she was young, but he hadn’t expected Alice to do something so shameless in public.

In Joseph’s pocket, his right hand clenched in a clenched fist. He wanted himself not to explode.
