A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

The people around them, watching the show unfold, immediately understood. Why would someone who could afford a black card even care about the small amount of shares in the hands of others?

Such a rich and pretty young woman could just wave at her, and a bunch of handsome men would probably fall at her feet!

– This young woman is really rich. That’s why she must slander her!

– Exactly. Everyone knows that a black card holds more wealth than a small country!

“Why wouldn’t a rich young woman have a boyfriend?” What joke!

…

Eva’s expression grew darker and darker as she heard the whispers of the people around her. Her gaze fell on the black card in Lyana’s hand. Her eyes bulged and she screamed,

– You’re a thief! Tell me, where did you steal that black card from?

The sales assistant had just swiped the black card. Smiling, she indicated to Lyana to proceed with the fingerprint authentication. She nonchalantly placed her finger on the device.

Eva’s eyes were fixed on the fingerprint machine in the hands of the sales assistant. The error report she had illustrated did not appear.

– Miss Dubois, here is your card!

The black card displays the owner’s last name on the screen. The sales assistant smiled and handed the black card to Lyana respectfully.

Lyana calmly put the black card back in her bag. Her moves weren’t rushed, and people rushing her saw that there was another black card in her bag.

Everyone was amazed. It was the first time they had seen someone with two black cards.

– Excuse me.

Lyana spoke to the sales assistant next to her.

– Miss Eva accused me of theft. Please call the police!

The sales assistant smiled and nodded. However, before doing so, she called the security guards anyway. She waited for the security guards to subdue Eva before calling the police.

Within 15 minutes, the police would arrive!

Eva flew off in an instant panic. She was a nurse at First Hospital. If the people at the hospital knew that she had slandered someone, they could kick her out of the hospital.

She turned to look at Ines, who was standing nearby. In desperation she cried,

– Ines, save me. I can’t be stopped!

Even if she had committed no crime, her future would be ruined as long as she was caught!

Ines had initially wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but when she heard Eva calling her, she hesitated. For a long moment, Ines stood rooted to the ground, motionless. Eventually, she hardened her resolve and turned to leave.

Lyana looked at Ines’ starting figure and gave a slight smile. She walked over to a nearby stool and sat down, crossing her legs gracefully as she waited for the police to arrive. She glanced at Eva and asked:

– Where did your good friend go?

At this moment, Eva felt as if the sky had collapsed. She looked at Lyana in a daze, bit her lip and said fiercely,

– Lyana, you framed me. You will die a horrible death!

Lyana looked at the unmistakable Eva and silently took out her cell phone to message Old A.

In this town, the Berge family name barely carried weight. Eva Berge was often used to having fun, so her grades were not good. Eventually, through her father’s machinations, she studied nursing in college and became a nurse.

In college, she didn’t study hard either. She watched dramas and played games all day. After graduating, she became a nurse in the best hospital only with the help of her father’s connections.

His father continually reminded him to work hard. In the future, he expected her to marry a wealthy man as well.

Eva looked at the security guards standing to her left and right. She felt her world was about to collapse. If her father knew she had been arrested, he would definitely beat her to death.

Eva’s gaze fell on Lyana’s face. She hated Lyana with all her heart and yearned to tear her apart. But now her only option was to ask Lyana for help.

– Sister.

Eva stood in front of a trembling Lyana. With a flattering smile on her face, she said ingratitude,

– Sister, I was wrong this time. You are the greatest person; why don’t you forgive me just once?

As Eva’s words fell, the police arrived.

Lyana briefly explained what happened. The policeman looked at Eva sternly, then looked at Lyana and said,

– Miss Dubois, to find out if this matter should be settled in private or not… we suggest you settle it in private. After all, this question…

The police were too embarrassed to say it was probably just a misunderstanding. But when they thought about how Eva framed Lyana for stealing the black card, they realized the black card had over 100 million in savings.

– It’s okay if you want to settle it officially. After all, this case involves a black card.

Said the policeman with a serious expression. Seeing Lyana looking towards him, he said tentatively,

– Why don’t you two talk? Miss Dubois can make a decision after that.

Lyana thought about Eva’s words earlier and nodded. She sat down on a nearby chair.

Eva was shaking as she walked towards Lyana under the encouragement of the policeman. Her mind was stunned and all she could think about was how to get out of the situation.

– Sister.

Eva stood in front of Lyana and bowed perpendicularly. Her tears of grievance fell when she said it,

– Sister, I was wrong. Please forgive me!

Lyana’s gaze fell on Eva’s face and her lips curved into a bright smile.

– Eva, there is no enmity between us, is there?

Eva straightened her back hesitantly and looked at Lyana’s face. She quickly looked down to hide the hate in her eyes.

– Everything is my fault!

– I don’t want to reconcile with you, Lyana said impassively. She knew that Eva had no intention of admitting her mistake. With that, she got up and walked towards the police.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

– Are you mad!

Eva grabbed Lyana’s arm and looked at her, eyes gnawing. She pursed her lips and screamed in rage,

– It’s all your fault, it’s all your fault! Why can’t you let others tell the truth?

Lyana calmly pushed Eva’s hand away, signaling for the police to take her away.

The police looked at Eva. There was a strange light in her eyes, and she seemed to want to eat Lyana alive. The police did not expect this young woman to always have a face full of hatred. She simply did not know how to repent!

Lyana watched the police take Eva away. Then she took her new clothes home.

On the way home, she saw that Old A had replied to her message. She asked curiously,

– What are you busy with? It took you so long to respond!

Soon, Old A returned a text.

– I just got out of bed. I was playing video games, so I overslept last night!

Lyana moistened her lips. She didn’t know what to say to Old A.

– Help me investigate two people, Roger Carter and Eva Berge, specifically regarding that day five years ago, in addition to their fate after that.

Five years ago, Lyana went drinking with her good friend Martin Rousseau at a KTV room. In the end, she got drunk and passed out!

Before she lost consciousness, she saw Ines give Martin a sum of money. Martin quickly disappeared from Country Z. When she was in the mental hospital, she had tried to investigate Martin’s whereabouts, but found nothing.

After that, she gave up investigating Martin Rousseau.

When she saw Eva today, the memories hidden deep in Lyana’s mind were finally awakened. That night, she thought she had also seen Eva.

His memories were a little hazy. She seemed to remember that Ines and Eva entered the KTV room together, but she also seemed to remember that Ines entered the room herself.

There seemed to be something wrong with her memory, which is why she wanted Old A to help her investigate.

After receiving an affirmative response from Old A, Lyana turned off her phone and went to buy a car. It took her a long time to hire a taxi today, and she didn’t want to have to repeat the experience again.

She went home and parked her car in front of the villa. She then walked in with her new clothes.

When she got home, she took a shower, then washed her new clothes and her old clothes. She put on her soft pajamas and settled down to read her books on medicine.

Just then his phone rang. Lyana looked at the caller ID and smiled. She picked up the phone and waved,

– Master Tom..
