Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1135: Loving You for the Rest of My Life
Looking at such a grand setup, not even a mosquito could fly out.
Dianna’s bright eyes flickered with something, what matter could be so significant that her mother would go to such lengths?
However, Dianna didn’t ask anything, nor did she say anything, she quietly accompanied Jodie Young for dinner.
After dinner, the mother and daughter sat on the sofa. Jodie Young felt comforted by her obedient daughter. If it weren’t for Cain Shaw, their lives would always be harmonious and happy like this.
Jodie Young knew her daughter well; intelligent and perceptive, she had grown up around Jason Hollis, developing a keen sense of intuition. Any little clue would make her suspicious, so Jodie Young had been very careful these past few days. She was also gratified to see her daughter in a wedding dress tomorrow, believing her daughter would have a simple and happy life.
"Dianna, shall I go fetch some fruit for you?" Jodie Young got up.
At that moment, Dianna put her hand over her heart and hissed in pain.
"Dianna, what’s wrong? Is the wound hurting again?" Jodie Young asked nervously.
Dianna nodded, "Mom, I forgot to change the dressing today. Could you bring the medical kit?"
"Alright, I’ll get it now." Jodie Young quickly went upstairs.
Dianna glanced in the direction where Jodie Young disappeared and quickly sat up straight. She reached out and took the phone Jodie Young had left on the coffee table.
Opening the phone, she sent out a text message.
The message was sent successfully. She deleted it and put the phone back.
When Jodie Young returned with the medical kit, she noticed nothing unusual about Dianna.
...
The next day.
Today is the wedding day. Yuric Thatcher, dressed in a black suit, arrived at the Young family home, driving a flower-decked car to marry Dianna.
Today Dianna was to become his bride.
"Congratulations, Young Master Thatcher! The first Ice Beauty of Crestfall City is finally yours; I’m so envious!"
"Young Master Thatcher, young and promising, Miss Hollis, beautiful as the moon; a match made in heaven. We wish you a happy marriage and hope for many children!"
"Young Master Thatcher, is the bride upstairs? Let’s quickly go up and meet the beautiful new bride!"...
Everyone was teasing, and today’s man of the hour, Yuric Thatcher, basked in the excitement. If Dianna was wholeheartedly with him after marriage, he would treat her well.
This way, he could both take revenge on Cain Shaw and achieve happiness — the best of both worlds.
At this moment, Jodie Young came out, and Yuric warmly called out, "Mom!"
"Aye!" Jodie Young responded loudly, handing Yuric a big red envelope.
"Mom, where’s Dianna?"
"Dianna is upstairs, no problem, go ahead with peace of mind." Both Jodie Young and Yuric weren’t afraid. Now that the arrow was on the string, there was no escaping for Dianna. The two had privately agreed that if Dianna refused to wear the wedding dress, Jodie Young would cry, make a fuss, and threaten to hang herself, using any means necessary to make Dianna comply.
"Alright, Mom, I’ll go upstairs and get Dianna." Yuric led his groomsmen upstairs.
"Dianna! Dianna, open the door, I’m here!" Yuric knocked on the door outside.
But there was no sound inside.
Not a single sound.
Yuric immediately sensed something was wrong, "Dianna! Dianna, I’m coming in!"
Yuric pushed the door open to find the room empty; Dianna was gone.
The bad premonition he had earlier instantly plunged Yuric into an abyss — Dianna was missing!
"Eh, where is the bride?"
"Oh no, the bride is missing!"
"Goodness, what’s going on? This wedding stirred up the whole of Crestfall City, and now the bride... ran away, leaving Young Master Thatcher to handle this mess. Young Master will become Crestfall City’s laughingstock!"
Jodie Young pushed through the crowd and ran over. Searching around the vast room, she couldn’t find Dianna.
Only then did she realize Dianna had run away!
"Dianna!" Jodie Young collapsed onto the carpet.
...
Meanwhile, a black luxury car had already left Crestfall, heading towards the distance.
Dianna took off the hat on her head and looked gratefully at Leah Thorne beside her, "Sister Leah, President Xavier, thank you both this time."
It was Justin Xavier and Leah Thorne who had come.
Justin was driving, his cool black eyes glanced at Dianna through the rearview mirror, nodding politely and indifferently.
Leah affectionately held Dianna’s small hand, "Dianna, no need to thank us; we heard about your wedding with Yuric. Even if you hadn’t messaged me last night, I would have come for you today. I absolutely couldn’t believe you’d marry another man while my brother was away!"
Dianna looked up at the fleeting scenery outside the window, "Your brother promised me that when I opened my eyes, I could see him, but he broke his promise. And I’ve waited so long, yet he hasn’t come..."
Leah understood. A girl is most in need of her lover’s company when hurt and vulnerable, but her brother couldn’t be there for Dianna.
"Dianna, my brother he..."
Dianna curled her lips slightly, speaking softly, "I know, no need to explain. I know it all. He didn’t come because he couldn’t. Last time, during his mission, he took those things. I know his situation must be terrible now."
She knew.
She knew everything.
She called him every day, not because she wanted him by her side, but just... just to hear his voice, just to know if he’s doing okay.
Surely, his addiction had taken hold, and she knew he was fighting a difficult battle in a place she didn’t know.
Leah’s pale eyes quickly reddened. She finally understood why her brother had fallen for this girl, who understood everything about him, loved him wholly — promising to love you the rest of her life.
"Dianna, shall we go to Saros Miao Territory?" Leah suggested.
"Miao Territory?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Justin nodded up front, "Yes, the world’s most potent poisons originate from Miao Territory. Cain’s detoxification will surely take him there. Over the past few days, I’ve had people investigate Miao Territory and got some information. They say a group of strangers visited a village there recently, and the village chief is a friend of mine. We can go directly there."
"Yes, Dianna, I’ve already contacted Serena, and she’s also on her way to Miao Territory. We’ll head there together. We can definitely help my brother through this difficult time," Leah said firmly.
Dianna felt a surge of strength within her. With so many people who love Cain, united together, what challenge can’t be overcome?
"Dianna, by leaving like this, what about your mom and Young Master Thatcher..." Leah hesitated.
Dianna shook her head, "That’s a play they orchestrated themselves. Let them face the consequences. I won’t marry anyone, I only marry... Cain!"
