A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Seeing how Ines was crying, Collin’s heart ached. He hastily pulled Ines into his embrace and gently comforted her.

– Do not Cry. Do not be sad. I

believe in yourself. Lyana treated you so badly. Don’t mistake her for your sister in the future.

Ines was sobbing, gazing at a pitiful view. She looked up at Collin and spoke, her voice muffled with emotion.

– Brother Collin, it’s all my fault. I wanted to help you, but I didn’t expect things to turn out like this…

Seeing the state Ines was in, Collin looked violently at Lyana. He didn’t expect Lyana to bully her younger sister like that all the time!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. For him, Ines had taken the initiative to give him the Suranne herb. She had gone this far just to allow him to get the opportunity to collaborate with Headmaster Huet.

But this stupid woman, was back to causing trouble. And this brainless fool always wanted to be with him! She must be dreaming!

Collin’s expression darkened.

– Since no one welcomes us here, we will take our leave.

With that, he started helping Lyana out of the room.

– Haha.

At this moment, Lyana started laughing. His voice was dripping with sarcasm.

Collin unwittingly stopped in his tracks. He turned to look at Lyana and questioned,

– What are you laughing at? Don’t think that just because you bullied Ines, I’m going to reunite with you. In your dreams.

Lyana raised her eyebrows slightly, giving a bright smile.

– Mr. Perrot, you are wrong. From the beginning, everyone only targeted me. Depending on how Ines was acting at the moment, a few sharp words of criticism may be enough for one to fall into the depths of despair and yearn to end one’s life. In that case, shouldn’t I already die

a thousand times?

She refused to let Ines go. She had to make Ines pay!

Collin frowned when he heard Lyana’s words. His eyes were filled with coldness When he said impatiently,

– Do you mean that you want Ines to die a thousand times? How can you be so vicious?

– Is there something wrong with your brain? If so, I’m sure there’s at least one neurosurgeon present today, among the medical bigwigs who have been invited. Ask him to examine your brain, will you?

During her speech, Lyana tapped lightly on her head and gave Collin a half-smile.

– Or did you already know that Ines was lying? Did you know from the start that this jar of Suranne Grass belongs to me?

Collin’s face turned green with suppressed rage when he heard Lyana’s words. He still remembered Lyana’s sweetness in the past. Now that he thought about it, she seemed to have become a completely different person.

When Richard heard Lyana’s words, he stood up angrily, staring at her.

– You’re spewing nonsense. I know a lot of close-ups in the botanical field, but I’ve never heard of anyone growing plants in the method you just described. Everything you’ve said so far is just a big joke!

Richard was well known in the medical field. When onlookers heard his words, they began to waver. One by one, they stood on Ines’ side.

– Lyana must be the one intimidating Ines!

– Although we have never studied plant growth, everyone knows that most plants are grown from seeds. How could plants become a new breed after grafting?

– Mr. Vidal is famous in the medical world. How could he wrongly accuse a young woman?

At this moment, Assistant Director Huet entered. There was a large group of people behind him, and everyone was instinctively looking towards the door.

When everyone saw the parade of items behind Assistant Director Huet, their jaws dropped!

Director’s assistant Huet was holding a jar of Suranne Grass. Not only that, each person behind him was each holding a jar of Suranne Grass.

Oh my god, there were five jars of Suranne Grass in total!

Everyone’s eyes were wide open in astonishment.

Was this Lyana’s gift to Director Huet?

What everyone was seeing right now was no longer the Suranne Grass, but piles of shimmering gold. All of them were so excited that they almost passed out from the shock..

In an instant, all the blood drained from Ines’ face. His legs were shaking uncontrollably as his weight fell on Collin. Without his presence, she could have collapsed on the ground.

Director Huet placed a hand over his heart, trying to calm himself down. He was really afraid of fainting from the shock.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why his usually composed assistant had been so flustered.

However, what shocked Manager Huet even more was that Suranne Grass’ five pots were just the start. The ensuing gifts nearly caused Director Huet to pass out from choking.

My God, it was Moonlight Grass!

Those pots of Moonlight Grass had even paid off!

A stalk of Moonlight Grass was worth tens of millions. Moreover, Moonlight Grass that had borne fruit was even rarer and more valuable than Suranne Grass!

When everything was transported, onlookers started counting the objects one by one in childish excitement. It was as if they had all returned to kindergarten children.

Five jars of Suranne Grass, six jars of Moonlight Grass and twelve ripe Moonlight fruits.

Each ripe fruit in the moonlight was worth more than a hundred million.

Director Huet was almost eliminated. He waved his arm in front of Chiara and said excitedly,

– Chiara, pinch me!

A happy smile appeared on Chiara’s face. Not holding back, she pinched her father’s arm hard.

– Oh, it hurts! So everything is true!

Director Huet looked at the articles in utter disbelief. He was afraid of fainting from excitement. He breathed so much

that he momentarily wondered if an inhaler was needed to help him breathe.

Ines looked at the five jars of Suranne Grass, neatly arranged in a row, and her breathing became more and more erratic.

She had initially thought that Lyana was just going to hide the other jars of Suranne Grass she had seen, but she had never expected her to give them all to Director Huet.

Was Lyana a fool?

Those pots of Moonlight Grass shouldn’t have been sent by Lyana, right?

Ines remembered that there were no pots of Moonlight Grass in the van at the mental hospital that day.

It’s true. These were definitely not sent by Lyana!

If Lyana was so rich, why did she stay in the mental hospital, subjecting herself to suffering? It couldn’t be true.

Assistant director Huet stood to the side, looking excited. His voice was shaking as he said:

– Director Huet, we’ve already moved in all of Miss Lyana’s gifts!

Everyone’s legs gave out. The shock had left them all in a frantic state of mind, a thousand thoughts buzzing. They all wanted to kneel down and apologize to Lyana!

Director Huet’s legs also gave out. If Chiara hadn’t supported him, he could have fallen to his knees!Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He had always known that Lyana was very good at growing plants, but he had never expected that she had spent the last few years preparing such a

gift for him!

It was really a big surprise!

At this moment, Collin was also stunned. He had never expected Lyana to be the one delivering these items.

He was from the medical field, so he was naturally aware of the value of these items. These plants were truly invaluable. Most could never own one in their lifetime,

even if they had to spend all their fortune.

But these gifts had been sent by Lyana, whom he despised the most.

What shocked Collin the most was that Lyana had probably grown these plants herself.

He felt his face burn with shame, as if he had just been slapped.

As for the others, they looked at Moonlight Grass and Suranne Grass in disbelief.

– Goodness! I am able to see actual fruit bearing moonlight weed with my own eyes.

– Our lives really weren’t in vain. Yet we were blind not to recognize a giant among us. We misunderstood Miss Lyana, and we believed the despicable words of Ines!

– Miss Lyana really is a genius. One can only dream of getting closer to his level.

Listening to the praises the others were firing at Lyana, Richard clenched his fists tightly. Her heart skipped a beat.

He stayed with Ines today. Because of this question, the good reputation he had built up over decades was ruined, just like that.

He looked violently at the Moonlight Grass and the Suranne Grass. He had never expected Lyana to be so generous.

She was so good at Director Huet at once!

At this thought, Richard was certain that Lyana had other treasures in her possession.
