A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

When Vincent heard this, his eyes darkened.

Seeing Vincent’s reaction, Lyana knew deep in her heart that he certainly hadn’t realized that she had taken his money.

However, she was curious to know why Vincent was so concerned about this matter. Most of the time, he didn’t seem to care about anything.

– What’s the matter ? Do you have something to ask him?

Vincent looked up. Seeing Lyana’s serious expression, he pursed his thin lips.

Hackers are not all-powerful.

Moreover, this incident had occurred five years ago. Even if Mr. K made a move, she might not be able to investigate the situation at the time.

Also, he didn’t want Lyana to know what happened five years ago.

– It’s nothing.

said Vincent impassively.

She studied Vincent’s expression. He looked exactly the same as usual. It was as if the serious expression she had glimpsed just now was just an illusion. She smiles. The money that had gone into his pocket was his. He could forget to get it back.

She says happily:

– Fortunately, you accompanied me to the hotel today. If you hadn’t been there, I could have wasted my time going there. THANKS.

Vincent looked into Lyana’s sparkling eyes and frowned slightly. There was a trace of displeasure in his voice when he said:

– A thank you, is that all I have? Isn’t that a little too superficial?

The smile on Lyana’s face froze.

Hadn’t Vincent got angry with her because she had thanked him earlier? Why was he saying his expression of gratitude was too superficial now?

A man’s thought process is as clear as mud!

Really incomprehensible.

Vincent’s gaze fell on the blessing bag next to Lyana. He understood instantly. So she thanked him by making a blessing bag for him.

Although he didn’t like to wear such things, since she made one for him by hand, he had no choice but to wear it.

While Lyana was still puzzled, Vincent stood up and said calmly,

– I like the aroma of ambergris.

Lyana looked at Vincent in confusion. It was as if there were a dozen question marks around his head.

She had always thought she was very smart, but at that moment she felt that she might be a little unintelligent. She didn’t understand Vincent’s words at all.

He was just telling her his preferences so she would remember?

Puzzled, she nodded.

Under her astonished gaze, Vincent left the room.

Lyana walked to the door and closed it. She was about to continue embroidering the blessing bag when she seemed to remember something. She picked up her phone and made a call.

– Oh, my dear girl, you finally have time to call me.

Lyana didn’t bother to be polite. She said directly:

– Will help me buy a box of high quality ambergris. Price is negotiable. The quality must be good.

– Of course.

She thought of the scene where Jacob and Olga had been taken away by the police. Her eyes narrowed slightly and she continued:

– I have another important task for you.

– What is this ?

Lyana’s lips curled slightly and she said:

– Buy all the shares of the medical companies of the Dubois company under my name. Use the fact that I am a shareholder of the Dubois company.

– Are you going to attack the Dubois family now? Won’t you wait?

Lyana remembered the way Nathan stared at her, like a snake staring at its prey. She didn’t like Nathan’s look at all. She had to get rid of the Dubois family as soon as possible, so they couldn’t cause trouble.

However, she didn’t want to tell them that. She said casually:

– I just think that the stocks I own are not enough. This is the best time to buy them.

Because Nathan is definitely too busy right now.

Jacob had committed the crime of intentional injury, and Olga had perjured herself. Nathan would certainly be busy fishing out Jacob and Olga!

– Understood. I will do it right away.

Satisfied, Lyana hung up. Only then did she pick up the blessing bag and continue to embroider with an indifferent expression.

As she was making the blessing bag, she suddenly remembered Vincent’s words. She thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to store some ambergris in the blessing bag.

She was definitely going to make a nice blessing bag for Vincent.

Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

It was now the birthday of the last eldest daughter of the Royer family.

For breakfast today, Lyana and Matriarch Sanchez were the only people present.

Seeing that Vincent’s seat was empty, Matriarch Sanchez asked in confusion,

– Where is Vincent?

Lyana responded naturally and fluently.

– He left the house with Thomas early this morning. He didn’t mention when he would be back.

A trace of surprise shone in the matriarch’s eyes. Looking at Lyana’s calm expression, she asked worriedly:

– He… he didn’t intimidate you, did he?

– No.

Lyana smiled.

Moreover, Vincent had helped her send Jacob and Olga to prison.

Seeing Lyana smile, Matriarch Sanchez felt relieved. She asked softly:

– By the way, about the blessing bag I asked you to make… Is it ready?

– It’s already done. He’s in my room.

Smiling, Lyana nodded.

– Alright. After that, go change, then come with me to the Royer family. Don’t forget to bring the blessing bag.

The more Matriarch Sanchez looked at Lyana, the more she liked her. His Vincent was really lucky to have the obedient and adorable Lyana as his wife.

– By the way, Madame Royer would like to thank you in person for having saved her the last time.

Lyana nodded obediently.

After breakfast, she went back to her room to change. After she stowed away, she went in search of the Blessing Bag. However, much to her confusion, the blessing bag that had been placed in the bedside drawer was missing.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Lyana rummaged through the bedside drawers, as well as the bed. She even searched the closet, but she couldn’t find the blessed bag.

Vincent came out of the bathroom, wearing a white bathrobe. There were still a few drops of water on his muscular chest, and the robe belt was loosely tied around his waist.

Her hair was wet. Drops of water fall from her forehead, run down her beautiful face and land on her Adam’s apple. His collarbone came next, and finally his chest muscles. The drops of water continued their journey to the inside of her bathrobe.

His phoenix eyes were a little red from the heat, giving off an aura of gentleness.

Lyana found herself captivated by Vincent’s eyes. She quickly looked away and pursed her lips slightly. In order to avoid any awkwardness, she asked softly: – When did you come back?

– I got home not long ago. Drying his hair, he sat down on the sofa with an indifferent expression. Seeing Lyana rummaging around the room, he casually asked

– What are you looking for ?

She raised her hand and tucked her hair behind her ear. Without even looking at Vincent, she said:

– It’s just a dark blue blessing bag. You saw it ?

Hearing Lyana’s words, Vincent’s thoughts raced. However, he pretended to be calm and said casually

– I already took it.

Lyana paused in her search. She quickly approached Vincent and held out her hand.

– Give it to me.

Vincent’s expression faltered slightly. He looked at Lyana impassively and said:

– Did you use sandalwood for the aroma?

He had clearly said that he liked ambergris.

This woman had forgotten her preferences. Yet he wasn’t even angry.

When Lyana heard Vincent’s words, she nodded.

– Yes, I used sandalwood. You took my things without my permission. Give them back to me now.

Vincent had a bad feeling about it.

He had a vague feeling that the Blessing Bag wasn’t meant for him.

However, Lyana’s next words confirmed her thoughts.

– Give it back to me quickly. We cannot miss the auspicious time for the memorial service.

– Commemoration?

He raised an eyebrow.

– Yes, today is the birthday of the eldest daughter of the Royer family.

Lyana went straight to the point.

– Grandmother asked me to make a blessing bag for the eldest daughter of the Royer family. She said it was to pray for her.

Vincent stared at Lyana without blinking. He got up and opened the wardrobe. Inside was a password-protected safe. After entering the password, he took out the blessing bag from the wooden box and handed it to Lyana.

She knew Vincent’s password-protected safe. She had heard that he only kept the things that were most important to him.

Seeing that Lyana had not taken it from her, Vincent was displeased. He said coldly

– You don’t want it?

She hastened to take it. She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she had the feeling that Vincent’s eyes had gone even redder.
