Substitute Bride and Her Husband Who Disappeared

Luna was lightning-fast in her response. "Now?"

Vivian typed back furiously, "Yes, right now! I can't take another sip!"

As Vivian's manager, Luna was on the scene and had watched Vivian drink one glass after another. As for Charlie, he was the big shot. He could easily refuse to drink without any repercussions.

However, he insisted that Vivian drink for him. Luna was reminded of what Nancy had once mentioned - about Charlie appearing affectionate in public but indifferent in private.

It seemed that Nancy hadn't lied.

"Okay, Vivi, find an opportunity to sneak out from the restroom and head back to the hotel on your own. Be careful not to be discovered," Luna messaged back.

Vivian sighed heavily. When had she become a fugitive, always hiding and avoiding people?

Nancy, who had been researching all day, was also tired. She stretched lazily, eyeing the instant noodles on the side. Her dad would be back soon, and all her money had to be saved for his medical treatment. She couldn't afford to splurge. Just as she was about to open the plastic packaging of the instant noodles, her phone buzzed.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"Who could that be?"

She put down her instant noodles, picked up her phone, and saw Luna's call. Irritated, she placed the phone to her ear.

Before she could even say a word, Luna's urgent voice came through, "Nancy, get over here right now! I've sent you the address. And remember, dress up well! You have those two luxury outfits, right? Wear one of those!"

Before Nancy could even respond, the call was abruptly ended. Luna hadn't given her a chance to refuse.

After reading the address Luna sent, Nancy sighed, changed her outfit, and headed out the door.

Luna waited impatiently at the hotel entrance, and when she finally saw a taxi approaching, she hurried over. "Why did you take so long?"

Nancy got out of the car and looked at Luna, "Doesn't it take time to change clothes and take a taxi?" "Alright, alright..."

Having no room to complain, Luna

grabbed Nancy's hand and led bot

towards the event venue, filling her

in on the earlier happenings!

"What?"

Nancy stopped in her tracks, shocked. "Charlie is here? And he's the primary investor?" Hadn't he already met Vivian?

Seeing her standing still, Luna grabbed her arm and pulled her towards the door, "Yes, Charlie is the main investor, but he said he doesn't drink and insisted that Vivi is a heavy drinker, making her drink for him. You know Vivian's tolerance¶evel; she's drunk after only a few glasses. You must replace Vivian and drink for Charlie now!"

Nancy was speechless.

It felt like she was the one dealing with the consequences while Vivian reaped the benefits!

Nancy's face darkened, "Luna! I'm not a heavy drinker either, I can't drink..."

"What do you mean you can't!"

Luna pulled Nancy into the venue, grabbed a glass of wine from a nearby table, and handed it to Nancy, "Drink this. You need to have alcohol on your breath before you go over there!" en

Nancy stared at her, "I won't drink! Luna, I didn't agree to drink for Vivian!"
