A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Lyana smiled coldly and said:

– All right, call someone from the operating room now. We’ll ask him in person.

Just then, Katie came in with the pills.

Katie was sensitive to the strange atmosphere in the room. Her heart skipped a beat and she swallowed nervously.

– Mr. Royer, your medication.

When Claire saw Katie, her eyes lit up.

Katie, the young nurse, looked like a yes-man. She probably wouldn’t lie.

Claire smiled sweetly and said softly to Katie:

– Miss Katie.

Katie’s heart was in her throat when she heard Claire calling her name. Then she pretended to be calm and turned to look at Claire. She asked politely,

– Miss Silva, what can I do for you?

Claire went straight to the point.

– I have a very important question to ask you. You must tell the truth. If you’re lying, don’t blame me for being rude. When Mr. Royer was operated on, did Lyana give blood to Mr. Royer?

Katie remembered Lyana’s words and nodded.

– Yes, Dr. Dubois gave blood to Mr. Royer.

William was slightly stunned. He hadn’t expected Katie to say that, and the answer was what he expected.

Except there was something wrong with Katie’s eyes. She looked to her right and swallowed hard. She looked like she was guilty of lying.

When Claire heard Katie’s words, her lips curled into a bright smile. She knew it. Lyana was a liar. This time Brother William would certainly believe her.

Claire smiled at Katie and said:

– You can leave now.

Katie silently put the pills on the nightstand.

– Yes,

she says, and she hurries out.

Claire sat proudly in her wheelchair, looking down on Lyana. She screamed :

– Lyana, there is already a witness. What else do you have to say?

– Actually, in the emergency room…

– I advise you not to quibble any longer. When I learned that you had given blood to Brother William, I found it a little strange. Why didn’t you say it with fanfare to Brother William? Now I understand that you deliberately concealed this matter to pass yourself off as Brother William’s sister. You really have ulterior motives.

Towards the end, Claire couldn’t help but get excited.

Claire took her phone out of her pocket. They were Katie’s and Doctor Sha’s bank statements. After the operation, Lyana had transferred two million dollars to them.

Claire pushes the wheelchair over to William’s bed and hands him the phone. With a soft expression, she said:

– Brother William, don’t be fooled by Lyana’s flowery words.

When William saw the payment information, his eyes gradually became deep and his expression complicated.

William’s frown deepened. His Sugar was already thinking far ahead.

He knew exactly why Sugar wired money to the doctors and nurses.

Lyana clenched her fists so hard her knuckles turned white. She looked at Claire with a grim expression, wishing she could punch her.

Lyana turned around and looked at William again. She saw him staring thoughtfully at Claire’s phone. She couldn’t tell what he was thinking at all.

Lyana’s heart skipped a beat.

Would her brother believe what she said?

Would he believe Claire’s words since her words sounded reasonable?

The situation was very disadvantageous for her now. Lyana’s frown deepened.

She looked at William with a hint of impatience. She really wanted to gain William’s trust.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

William was his biological brother. They were real family members.

Lyana’s gaze fell on Claire’s face again. Her expression was serious as she enunciated each word clearly.

– You are stupid ? Don’t you think your words are a little contradictory? From what you said, I gave them the hush money just to keep them from telling my brother I gave him blood. In this way, I can seize the opportunity to become the precious daughter of the Royer family. But why did she say in front of us that I gave blood to my brother? She’s not afraid that I’ll ask to get the silence money back?

Hearing Lyana’s words, Claire couldn’t help but laugh. With a look of disdain, she said:

– Compared to your threat, she’s more afraid that Brother William will attack her. What’s wrong with that? That’s why she doesn’t dare lie to Brother William. You are a despicable and shameless person. Now that you have claimed to be the eldest daughter of the Royer family, have you thought about how sad Brother William and the others will be when they find out the truth?

Without waiting for Lyana to speak, Claire said confidently:

– You claim to be the eldest daughter of the Royer family. You’re just pretending to be someone. But have you ever thought about what the Royer family will do when they find out the truth? Do you know that they are obsessed with the pain of losing the eldest daughter of the Royer family? They suffered for more than twenty years. You make them suffer even more for your own selfish reasons. You are not worthy of being human.

Lyana ignored Claire’s words, because she felt like Claire was like a fly buzzing in her ear, which annoyed her a bit.

However, Claire was still arrogant and continued:

– Have you ever thought that if you used a fake paternity test to join the Royer family, the rest of the family wouldn’t notice? Do you really think everyone in the Royer family is an idiot? There can be no flaws in this case at the time. If there was, it would not have escaped the eyes of the Royer family.

At that moment, Claire’s eyes couldn’t help but turn red. She felt sick to her stomach as she looked at William. His brother William was too nice. He had almost been tricked by Lyana once again.

– Lyana, I will never let you hurt Brother William. The eldest daughter of the Royer family is Brother William’s priority. Now that I’ve unmasked your fake mask, you’re like a rat. You are vicious and disgusting. You shouldn’t go on living…

– Shut up.

William interrupted Claire with a grim expression. He could almost guess what Claire was going to say next.

Claire was shocked by William’s voice. She looked at her brother William in surprise. She hadn’t expected there to be a killing intent in his eyes.

Claire couldn’t help but shiver. Her lips quivered and she said:

– Brother William, I…

William lifted the blanket and got up from the bed. He walked towards Claire step by step.

When he approached her, he looked at her with a gloomy expression and asked her in a low voice:

– Since you know I care about the oldest daughter in my family, why do you keep slandering her? You even want to curse her. How dare you ?

William’s voice was cold and hoarse, like a demon from hell.

Lyana’s throat tightened involuntarily, and she felt a lump in her throat. She had never expected her brother to believe her unconditionally.

Even if Claire had released so many arguments against her, her brother had never suspected her.

Claire swallowed nervously and looked at William with red eyes. It was the first time she had seen such a terrifying William, and her body couldn’t stop shaking.

“Brother William, why don’t you believe me?” I’m clearly doing this for your good…

Before Claire could finish, William grabbed her neck. His eyes were cold, like a dagger cutting into Claire’s face.

– You have already touched the bottom of my thoughts.

William’s voice was so cold there was no warmth in it.
