A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

William’s face darkened and his eyes were filled with frost.

– After my return, I will go to the police station to investigate the case file and see if there are any other clues to this abduction twenty years ago.

At that moment, William’s heart broke.

The gods had been kind to him. Now that he had found his sister, he had a chance to redeem himself.

However, when William thought about the fact that he couldn’t bring his sister home immediately, he felt very sad.

Lyana agreed with William’s point of view. She nodded and said,

– Yes.

Of course, she was going to use her contacts to look into the matter.

At the time, she was just a three-year-old child, but she had to endure such cruelty.

Someone with a motive had to be behind this, but she couldn’t understand why.

Until she returns to the Royers, these vicious people might think that the eldest daughter of the Royer family is dead and let their guard down. They might even expose themselves.

At that time, she would certainly find all the people who had pushed her to leave the Royer family. She would settle their account one by one and force them to beg for death.

Seeing how quiet Lyana was, William’s breathing tightened, and he felt a tightness in his chest.

He knew his sister had said yes because she understood he was saying it to protect her.

However, what made William uncomfortable was that Lyana accepted everything he said with such obedience and calm. He couldn’t help but feel his heart sink.

If it was Alexia, she would certainly have cried and wanted to go home.

William really hoped that Sugar would also make a fuss and be able to express his emotions in front of him.

– Sugar, I’m really sorry. I can only let you suffer for now. Trust me, once we catch these people, I’ll definitely get you home. Our family will never be separated again.

Lyana could hear the indulgence in William’s voice. William must be very angry now. She comforted him.

– Brother, there’s no need to be too anxious about it. In order not to alert the enemy, we must go slowly. Mr. and Mrs. Royer are both very powerful people. All these years they have been kept in the dark. It is obvious that the person behind all this is very powerful.

William knew Lyana was right. He could only make plans from a distance. However, his sister had to suffer.

What made William uncomfortable was that when Lyana addressed her parents by calling them Mr. and Mrs. Royer, he had a strange feeling in his heart.

William understood that it was not Lyana’s fault.

Lyana’s parents had never interacted with her in the past twenty years. To Lyana, her parents were just blood-related strangers.

It seemed like it would take some time for Lyana to fit into this big family again.

If he hadn’t come here with Lyana this time, or if he hadn’t experienced the unforgettable events of Ghost City with her, Lyana probably wouldn’t have been close to him.

At first glance, Lyana and Vincent were still very close.

vincent…

William’s heart quivered involuntarily.

He had just found Sugar, but she had already grown up and married.

As a brother, he didn’t give his sister much company.

At that moment, the elevator door opened, instantly bringing William back to reality.

William and Lyana got out of the elevator together. He turned to Lyana and asked her:

– Honey, how does Vincent treat you well?

Lyana was slightly taken aback.

She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she had the feeling that when her brother mentioned Vincent, he sounded very serious and stern. He didn’t look as happy as before.

Lyana smiled and said:

– He treats me pretty well.

After saying that, Lyana continued,

– Brother, you must remember what I said before. We shouldn’t be too anxious about it. Besides, I don’t want you to be in danger. Since we already recognized each other, we just have to slowly investigate. One word will be enough for us to return home in the future. Everything will be fine as long as we are united.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
