A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

The moment he stepped in, he caught everyone’s attention. A few people present recognized him.

One by one, the gazes of the young female students present all turned shy, as if they had become girls with a crush. They had never seen such a handsome man in their lives. Her face was like the most perfect masterpiece granted by heaven. They couldn’t take their eyes off him.

Lyana stood there calmly. She frowned slightly when she saw Vincent walking towards her.

Why was he here?

Vincent walked unhurriedly past Lyana. In a natural motion, he put his arm around Lyana’s waist, pulling her towards him. His narrow phoenix eyes coldly scanned everyone present.

– Honey, who bullied you?

Hearing Vincent’s words, the onlookers were all stunned. Their gazes lingered on Lyana and Vincent’s faces. They had never expected Vincent to marry Lyana.

Professor Tom was also amazed. He blinked in confusion, pushing his glasses up to his face. He asked calmly,

– Lyana, when did you get married?

– Master, my husband and I registered our marriage a few days ago. We haven’t had our wedding yet. We had important matters to deal with earlier at the banquet, so I haven’t had a chance to tell you yet.

She explained with a smile. In her heart, she had already scolded Vincent several times.

She didn’t know what Vincent was doing. She couldn’t believe he had come to the banquet, and even made their relationship public.

Hearing Lyana’s words, Professor Tom nodded in understanding. Although he was getting older, he knew that young people would usually register their marriage before holding a wedding. It was different from his time.

In fact, of all the people present, Ines was the most upset. She looked at Lyana in total shock. She had never expected Vincent to defend Lyana.

Ines looked at Vincent. Feeling the coldness radiating from him, she couldn’t help but shiver.

Beside him, Collin stared at Vincent in shock, his lips tight. He had made a mistake. He never expected Lyana to be Vincent Sanchez’s wife.

What should he do now?

Collin recalled how he repeatedly insulted Lyana. His father had repeatedly urged him to get along with the Sanchez family, but now he had offended Lyana.

If she told Vincent what he said, he would…

Collin’s face grew increasingly pale. He wanted to take the opportunity to quietly withdraw from the scene, but there were a lot of people behind him. He had no choice but to stay still.

– Which of you said here that my wife was mentally ill?

Vincent asked coldly.

Eva had never seen Vincent before, so naturally she didn’t know who he was. She only felt that this man had a nauseating aura around him. Brown, she stepped forward.

– Don’t be fooled by Lyana. He’s not a good person at all! Eva spoke firmly,

– She really was a patient in the psychiatric hospital!

– is it true?

Vincent glanced at Eva, then spoke to Thomas, who was standing nearby.

– There seems to be something wrong with this lady. Take her.

– Yes sir,

Thomas replied. He moved forward to take Eva away.

Eva’s expression changed. She said with concern,

– Who are you? Do not touch me!

As soon as she finished speaking, Thomas knocked her out without hesitation. Quickly, he ushered her out of the banquet hall.

When Professor Tom saw that the troublemaker was gone, he smiled at Lyana and said:

– That annoying little girl is finally gone. The whole hall finally quieted down.

Everyone thought they were

– Of course, it’s quiet. No one dares to speak!

Seeing Vincent walking, Dr. Charles put on a tawny smile and said:

– Second Young Master Sanchez, how are you!

Vincent raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn’t seem to recognize the man in front of him.

– I am Charles Durand. I thank the Sanchez family for investing in this research project.

Charles smiled impatiently and held out his hand to Vincent, wanting to shake his hand.

Vincent did not shake hands with Charles. Instead, he turned slowly to Lyana, speaking in a low voice.

– If you need anything in the future, just ask for my help directly. There is no point in asking these shady people for help. After all, they clearly cannot understand people of high intelligence, like you.

Everyone: Do you think we’re all dunces?

Charles’ hand hovered awkwardly in the air. He didn’t dare take it off.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Professor Tom agreed with Vincent. He said approvingly,

– Lyana, if you want to continue studying Chinese medicine, then…

– Honey, why didn’t you tell me you wanted to work in a lab?” We can just build one.

Vincent looked at Lyana with emotion, her voice soft.

Hearing Vincent’s words, Lyana gave a sweet smile.

– Thank you, dear husband.

Vincent then turned to Charles and continued,

– I’m sorry, I want to withdraw my investment.

The color in Charles’ face immediately dissipated. It felt like the sky was collapsing!

Lyana, too, was privately stunned. She didn’t know why Vincent had changed so much. In the past, he didn’t even want to interact with her much.

After some time, Vincent ushered Lyana out of the banquet hall. Seeing that she still held her doctoral degree, he said:

– Your mentor loves you very much.

– Professor Tom is a good person.

She looked down as she spoke, her voice deadpan.

In fact, teacher Tom knew that her family had locked her up in the psychiatric hospital on purpose. He often sent her course materials and meticulously answered any questions she had regarding medicine.

Vincent had asked other people to investigate the relationship between Lyana and Professor Tom. Seeing that they had nothing to do with the rest of these people, he was relieved.

– Can you treat my illness?

Vincent asked calmly, his arm still around Lyana’s waist.

– Yes, I can try.

Thinking about Vincent’s illness, Lyana thoughtfully said,

– Vincent, when do you plan to divorce?

The flirtatious atmosphere between them immediately disappeared. A gust of wind blew, causing Lyana to feel a bit chilly.

She received no response from Vincent. She smiled and said to him:

– Do not worry, I will continue to treat your illness after the divorce.

– Divorce?

Vincent gave Lyana a cold stare, his eyes filled with ice.

– I will never divorce!

Lyana stopped in her tracks and turned to Vincent, blinking her eyes in confusion.

Under the silver moonlight, her little face looked even fairer.

Lyana’s lips parted slightly in confusion.

– For what?
