A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Richard’s gaze fell on Lyana’s face and he sniffled.

– Ines always kept in mind that you are her older sister, so she always tolerated you, but you can’t go that far. You can’t keep bullying her just because she’s nice. If you don’t apologize today, don’t even think about leaving this place.

Everyone looked at Ines sympathetically. They all believed that Ines often gave in to Lyana at home as well.

Ines wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said softly,

– Uncle Vidal, it is good that the truth of this question has already come to light. Please don’t blame sister. She didn’t

on purpose.

In the eyes of the crowd, Ines looked extremely pitiful. She was the younger sister, but she had to be constantly magnanimous and had to give in to her older sister, Lyana, all the time. This young woman was truly a kind and understanding soul!

By comparison, the crowd had no sympathy for Lyana. She always snatched her sister’s things. She was simply inhuman!

– Lyana, apologize to Miss Ines!

– Lyana Dubois, apologize quickly. You shouldn’t have intimidated Miss Ines. You ruined Director Huet’s opening ceremony!

– Lyana, if you still have a shred of humanity left in you, hurry up and kneel down to apologize!

Hearing the critical words of the people around her, Lyana slightly raised her eyebrows and asked:

– Do any of you know how Suranne Grass is grown? Do you know the environmental conditions necessary for its germination? How can you all be sure that the pot Ines was carrying in this photo contained Suranne weed?

Everyone was stunned speechless for a moment. None of them had anything to say in response to the three questions Lyana had drawn. However, they quickly regained their footing. Lyana was clearly resorting to sophistry!

– Lyana, don’t even think about trying to free yourself from your misdeeds. It’s clearly your fault!

– You still refuse to tell the truth, even now.

– Doesn’t she have any sense of propriety? It is simply a hopeless case. How can a person like her come to Director Huet’s opening ceremony?

Richard smiled coldly, his gaze falling on Lyana’s face. He questioned,

– In that case, tell me: how did you grow Suranne grass?

Lyana looked at Ines and asked questions,

– How about you tell us how you grew Suranne grass?

Ines’ eyes darted to the side. Pretending to be wronged, she says,

– Sister, you were there when I was growing Suranne grass. You do not remember?

– I don’t know how you grew Suranne grass,

Lyana said expressionlessly.

Indeed, Ines did not know how this pot of Suranne Grass had been grown. She had found the cultivation method on Baidu.

– Sister, I just told you how I grew Suranne Grass!

– Ines, don’t tell me that you really believe that Suranne grass can be grown so easily.

Lyana laughs scornfully.

– YOU …

Without hesitation, she cut Ines off and continued,

– Suranne Grass is so valuable because it has no seeds. Besides loosening the soil to increase porosity and adding fertilizer, sesame seeds should also be mixed into the soil. Moreover, Suranne grass is derived from the grafting of two different plants. Every morning, the morning dew should be collected before the newly grown roots are buried in the ground. Then it should be watered with ginseng water and collected dew. He must

stay in a dark room with a constant temperature. In another half month, the first sign of Suranne Grass will appear.

Lyana paused for a moment, then looked at the people around her and continued,

– Simply relying on ginseng water and morning dew is not enough to provide nutrients to Suranne Grass. During this period, it must be sprinkled with the blood of scorpions. The growth cycle of Suranne Grass takes about three years. This jar of Suranne

The grass only sprouted its leaves last week.

– You … you throw nonsense,

Ines said in a panic.

– If I remember correctly, ten years ago botanists determined that Suranne Grass was extinct. Since it’s already extinct, where did you find the seeds?

Lyana looked at Ines carefully and continued,

– If you could find Suranne Grass seeds, it means there will be more Suranne Grass in that place. Then, in this case, I’m sure you’ll have more with you. Pull out a few more stems of Suranne Grass for everyone to see!

Not everyone had fully absorbed the process of growing Suranne grass yet. When they heard Lyana’s words, they nodded thoughtfully.

If Suranne Grass was really grown with seeds, then Ines would certainly know where to find other stems of Suranne Grass.

Everyone’s gaze fell on Ines’ face. They were curious to know where all the other Suranne Grass were.

When Richard heard Lyana’s question, he frowned and said, ‘What nonsense did you spout just now? Graft, ginseng and blood of what? How could you grow Suranne grass with such a strange method?

– Suranne Grass has always been a hybrid plant. It died out due to its demanding growing conditions.

Lyana didn’t even bother to glance at Richard. Instead, she looked without blinking at Ines and continued,

– If you insist on Suranne Grass being grown with seeds,

this means that its seeds are not poisonous. The roots of Suranne Grass will also not be poisonous. Do you dare to remove the roots of Suranne Grass with your bare hands?

Before Ines could speak, Lyana continued,

– Just a friendly reminder. Suranne grass roots are very poisonous. If you touch it with your bare hands, you will be instantly poisoned. Suranne grass will also die immediately.

Ines was so scared that her face had gone completely pale. Rocking in place, she looked at Lyana in fear and unease.

– Don’t spit nonsense!

– I don’t throw nonsense. Just touch the roots of Suranne grass. If you’re poisoned, that means I’m right. If you are not poisoned, it means you have cultivated

this pot of Suranne Grass.

Lyana looked at Ines, her voice deliberately provocative. His whole body glowed with an icy aura.

Sensing Lyana’s aura, everyone was momentarily stunned. None of them dared to speak.

Ines was so worried that cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She didn’t dare touch the roots, because she was really afraid that she might be poisoned.

She found herself in a difficult position. She had no way of backing down from this situation. If she continued to argue with Lyana, she might give herself away. The only solution was to leave.

After a moment of silence, Ines looked at Lyana with tear-stained cheeks.

– Sister, you’re throwing nonsense. I know you hate me. I have already yielded to you. What do you want?

With that, she headed for the exit in tears.

– Did Lyana say something wrong?

Vincent, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. His voice was very calm, but you could feel the coldness in it.

Ines stopped in her tracks, her mind empty. She looked at Vincent in shock.

Everyone was equally amazed. They had thought that Vincent was there to confess his love to Ines, but they hadn’t expected him to choose to believe in Lyana.

Vincent raised his eyebrow slightly, looking like he wasn’t afraid to make a scene. His gaze was as sharp as a dagger as he looked at Ines with that pair of dark eyes, his aggressive voice.

– Or is Lyana telling the truth? You clearly dare not try. Are you planning to escape?This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Ines was on the verge of collapsing. She did not dare to gamble with her life. Tears were welling up in her eyes, and her expression was growing uglier and uglier.

– Did Lyana really grow Suranne grass?

A viewer couldn’t help but ask.

– I have heard from other people in the past about methods of growing Suranne grass. Although I don’t know if Lyana’s cultivation method is correct, I think there is something wrong with Ines’ expression.

– It’s true, it’s true. If Ines is really the one who grew it, she should know the Suranne herb very well. Why wouldn’t she dare to try it?

– Yes, that’s what I wonder!

– Could Ines be lying on purpose?

Ines stood there uncomfortably, listening to the discussion. She was so worried that her palms started to sweat.

She had never expected that within ten minutes everyone would start siding with Lyana.

When Ines thought about how Lyana had treated her so harshly, she hated Lyana with all her heart. However, she dared not express her hatred. In the end, she couldn’t, but burst into tears!.
