A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Chapter 240



The man’s face seemed like the most perfect masterpiece in heaven. We can say that it is magnificent.

He wore a light pink shirt with two buttons unbuttoned. His muscular chest was faintly visible, and he looked indescribably sexy.

Her beauty was comparable to that of Lyam.

The only difference was that he had a pair of beautiful blue eyes, which made him even more attractive.

He was to be the legendary King of the Black Hell, Alexander Walker.

Lyana’s expression didn’t change. She didn’t bother to make conversation. Instead, she asked:

“Where is William Royer?” I want to see him.

Alexandre Walker had only seen Lyana on screen before. It was the first time he had seen her up close. Even though his gaze was unfriendly, it didn’t affect his feelings for her at all.

Her skin was smooth, and her eyes were clear. The corners of her eyes were turned upwards, and she seemed a bit sly. Her red lips were slightly pursed under her exquisite nose.

She stood there, coldly, but she was still able to articulate the words “incomparable beauty” clearly.

She was like a candy bar.

Even though he didn’t like sweets, he could feel her sweetness.

Lyana was indeed the woman who had moved his heart.

Alexander Walker’s thin lips parted slightly and he asked:

– What is your relationship with William Royer? Are you his wife?

Lyana was slightly taken aback. She hadn’t expected Alexander Walker to ask such a question.

However, thinking about it, she realized that to save her, William had risked his life to block the ball for her. Now, to save William, she entered Ghost City alone.

If she told others that she and William were just ordinary friends, no one would believe her.

Moreover, she did not want to tarnish William’s reputation.

“I’m his adoptive sister,” Lyana replied calmly.

A slight smile appeared on Alexandre Walker’s face.

– So you’re just his adopted sister.

As soon as he’s finished speaking, Alexander Walker seems to have realized something. He frowned again and asked:

– What did you say ? Are you his adoptive sister?

Lyana didn’t understand what Alexander Walker meant now. One moment he was happy, the next he was angry.

However, Lyana still nodded and said

– Yes.

Alexander Walker’s expression grew even uglier. His blue eyes were like a vast ocean in which one falls involuntarily.

Lyana was in no mood to worry about Alexander Walker’s feelings. She looked up at him and asked:

– Where is my brother?

Alexander Walker’s expression has changed slightly. Hearing Lyana call William “Brother” so naturally, he truly believed that Lyana and William didn’t have such a dirty relationship.

A trace of jealousy crossed the eyes of Alexandre Walker. Why did William have such a good sister like Lyana?

Lyana didn’t hear Alexander Walker’s response. Frowning, she asked again:

– Where is my brother?

This time, Lyana emphasized her words.

Alexander Walker’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. He asked with a smile:

“Are you so worried about him?”Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

– You’re saying nonsense ? It is my brother.

Lyana looked at Alexander Walker like he was an idiot.

At this moment, Alexander Walker suddenly thought of his brother who had tragically died.

Even though his younger brother had already left the world for three years, he could never forget him.

– I can take you to see William, but I have to take you somewhere else first.

A trace of surprise crossed Lyana’s eyes. She didn’t understand why Alexander Walker was doing this, but she was following him anyway.

Alexander Walker led her into the back hall. Lyana saw a pure white prayer room that looked very holy.

Someone as cold as Alexander Walker really believed in God?

Lyana did not respond.

When the mercenary opened the door to the prayer room, a gust of cold air hit her instantly. Lyana couldn’t help but shiver.

Lyana looked up and saw that the prayer hall was surrounded by ice. Cold white air filled the air. Even the cross in the middle of the prayer hall was carved out of ice.

Under the cross was a coffin made of ice.

Lyana followed Alexandre Walker inside. He stopped in front of the ice coffin.

Lyana looked at Alexander Walker in confusion. Following her gaze, she saw a man lying in the coffin. The face of this man was identical to that of Alexander Walker.

However, this man’s face was snow white and lifeless. It looked like he had been dead for many years.

He was beautiful. Beautiful as a picture.

He was lying in the ice coffin like a sleeping beauty.

Alexander Walker held back the tears in his eyes and looked at the person in the coffin. He said softly,

– This is my younger brother, Arnaud Walker.

Lyana could see that Alexander Walker’s voice was hoarse. Standing next to him, she could also feel the grief emanating from his body.

Rumor had it that the King of the Dark Underworld was heartless. It seemed that the rumors couldn’t be completely believed.

– Three years ago, Arnaud followed your brother to An City, but I didn’t expect this trip to be the last. When I saw him again, I realized that all his bones and tendons were broken. He had to be tortured inhumanely before he died.

Alexander Walker held back tears and tilted his head to look at Lyana with eyes filled with bloodlust and hatred.

– Your brother caused my brother’s tragic death. It’s only fair that I let him down to accompany my brother now.

Lyana met the eyes of Alexander Walker, which were filled with hate. His expression faltered slightly. It turned out that Alexander Walker had no intention of letting William live.

Lyana’s heart skipped a beat in her throat.

However, she couldn’t believe that someone as sweet as William would be so ruthless towards Arnaud Walker.

Could it be that Alexander misunderstood something?

At that thought, Lyana stopped.

She didn’t know why she trusted William unconditionally.
