A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Vincent, who had been watching the landscape through the window, approached. He took Lyana’s hand, which had turned red from hitting Olga, and stroked it gently several times before handing her a dagger.

Her hand was slightly warm, and the heat spread from Lyana’s hand to all parts of her body. She felt a warmth in her chest. She turned to look at Vincent then slowly lowered her gaze, which finally landed on the dagger in her hand.

The dagger was very exquisite. A golden dragon in a circle was engraved on the handle, and a reborn phoenix in flames was engraved on the blade.

– It will hurt if you use your bare hands.

Vincent’s deep voice appeared above Lyana’s head. His tone was dismissive, as if he didn’t take Lyana’s slap on Olga seriously at all. At the same time, he seemed to stand on Lyana’s side, fully approving of her hitting Olga.

When Olga heard Vincent’s words, her face turned red with anger. She glared fiercely at Lyana and stood up in anger. She wanted to slap Lyana, but when her gaze fell on the dagger in Lyana’s hand, she backed off.

Lyana clutched the dagger in her hand, her heart involuntarily beating faster. She looked into Vincent’s eyes, falling into those bottomless eyes.

Olga was so frightened that her expression became even uglier. She took a step back involuntarily and said in a shaky voice,

– What… What do you want to do? I warn you. I am your mother. It’s a sin.

Lyana came to her senses and lowered her gaze to hide her composure. When she looked at Olga again, her eyes were filled with disdain.

– Ha. Are you my mother?

Olga looked at Lyana in confusion.

– Whether you’re really my mother or not… I’m sure you know better than me.

Lyana toyed with the dagger in her hand, her eyes slanting.

Olga, who was sitting on the side, gasped. She looked at Lyana in disbelief. Did Lyana know everything?

How ?

How was it possible?

Olga began to tremble against her will.

Jacob, who was standing to the side, was also stunned when he heard Lyana’s words. He didn’t expect her to know.

Ines looked at Lyana in confusion.

Lyana said coldly

– None of my mothers will bring such shame to the family name as you.

Olga trembled slightly. She couldn’t guess what Lyana was thinking. She stayed there without moving.

Lyana glanced at Andre, who was cowering in a corner. She asked, “When the affair came to light, you were ready to send your boyfriend to jail just to protect yourself. Is it really like you said? Did he seduce you?

Jacob stared at Olga like a hawk.

Olga says anxiously

– Honey, I really didn’t want to betray you. It was really him who seduced me.

Lyana chuckled and shook her head slightly.

Seeing Lyana like this, Olga angrily said

– Lyana, what is this expression? I am your mother. You gonna make a scene even if I told you the truth?

– You really don’t want to give up. Do you have to hit a dead end before you turn around?

As she spoke, Lyana pulled out her phone and played a recording.

in Olga’s girlish, warbling voice.

– Andrew, what are you doing?

– Sister Olga, what’s wrong?

Andre’s voice sounded normal.

– I feel so lonely. Jacob works outside all day, and he doesn’t want to spend time with me. I’m alone. This house is so big, but it’s so cold.

Andrew says patiently

– Sister Olga, Mr. Dubois works so hard for the good of your family. If you think it’s boring to be alone, you can go shopping, watch movies, or even travel. You can also come to the gym to train.

– There is no point in shopping. As for travel, I have been to all the famous places in the world.

Olga said shyly:

– None of them are interesting.

– Why don’t you come to the gym to train? Exercise can help you forget about all your worries. Moreover, women who exercise look much younger than their counterparts.

Andre started promoting his gym services.

Olga said while flirting

– But… but I dare not…

– For what ?

– Oh, when I see you, I feel like I’m going back to when I was young. I just want… you know… I can’t control myself…

– Ahem.

Andre coughed awkwardly.

Olga said in a female voice,

– It’s true. I felt my heart race the moment I saw you. Can you come shopping with me?

There was a silence on Andre’s side.

Ol8 continued to seduce him.

– I really feel so alone. I will only feel happy when you are by my side. Come and accompany me, okay?

Andre himself was also a lascivious person. It would be a shame to refuse a woman who had given herself up on his doorstep.

– Sister Olga, in this case, send me the location.

– Ok I love you.

The recording ended abruptly. Lyana didn’t need to say anything else. Everyone knew what happened next.

Olga’s face had turned pale with fear. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Jacob’s face.

She didn’t expect Lyana to have a recording of their conversation from a year ago.

Now it was clear that she had wanted to deal with her for a long time.

At this thought, Olga felt a shiver run down her spine. Lyana was truly a terrifying person.

Ines, who was standing on the side, was completely amazed. She looked at her mother in shock. His mother was usually kind and gentle, and had always been devoted to the family. How could she do such a thing behind their backs?

If her mother had found a more exceptional man than her father, she thought maybe she could understand. After all, it was natural for any woman to want to find a better man.

But what about this Andre?

He was just a fitness instructor who relied on his figure and face for a living. Such a man was not even worthy of being his father’s shoe shiner. How could her mother stoop to being with such a man?

Ines’ face turned red with anger. She asked

– Mom, are you blind? How can you be with such a man? He’s not even fit to be dad’s shoe shiner.

Olga’s body swayed. At that moment, she had lost all her dignity. She couldn’t face her daughter anymore.

Lyana stood to the side, adding fuel to the fire.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

– It takes two to tango. Olga, you are the one who started first. Even if Andre has to go to jail, you should be the one sitting there with him. You’re the main culprit, and he’s the accomplice. However, given how much you like him, I can get someone to work things out and leave you both in the same cell. This will allow the two of you to continue to interact and improve your relationship.

Continue to interact?

Should they continue to have sexual interactions?

Jacob clenched his fists really hard. In an instant, he lost all rationality. He came forward and grabbed Olga’s hair. Gritting his teeth, he slapped him a few more times.

It only stopped when Olga’s nose started bleeding. His face was as swollen as a pig’s head. She raised a hand to wipe the blood from her nose, staring at Lyana with hate in her eyes. She swore angrily,

– Lyana, you tricked me. You will die a horrible death, never to be reincarnated!

When Vincent heard the last sentence, he frowned.

– Thomas.

Thomas had hated Olga for a long time. When he heard Vincent calling him, he quickly rolled up his sleeves and walked over to Olga.

Now it was finally her turn to show off her skills.

With a single slap, he broke the skin of Olga’s face, causing her to stumble and fall on the bed.

– Lyana is my legal wife. Scolding her is tantamount to insulting me. I’ll make sure you remember that slap on the face. You are not worthy.

Vincent’s voice wasn’t strong, but it was moving. With that, he turned to look at Thomas.

– Where are the police now?

Hearing this, both Olga and Andre were shocked. Their bodies were shaking.

Jacob and Ines were also amazed.

Thomas took their reactions into account and said calmly

– They should be here soon.

Olga’s lips quivered with fear. Perplexed, she asked

– What… What do you mean?

Lyana answered his question kindly.

– You have already committed the crime of adultery according to matrimonial law. According to the law, you should be detained for a month.

Olga felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her heart stuttered and she took a moment to react.

Detention.

If she was detained, she would forever be labeled an adulterer. She would be looked down upon by everyone in high society.
