The Substitute Bride

"Ms. Zhang, you are still a guest here at Dream Garden. Now that only you and I are left, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid Mr. Lu will scold me for it," Nancy said casually. She looked calm as she dealt with Leila.

"Nancy, I've told you this once before, and I'm going to say it again. You're just a servant here, and soon enough, I'll be the mistress around here. If you know what's good for you, you're going to behave and stay out of my way or else, who knows, what's going to happen to you when you grow old?"

After speaking, Leila carelessly slammed the door to her room shut.

Nancy was petrified. She didn't really like Leila, and Leila had gone too far this time. She wasn't even a mistress yet, and she was already acting like this.

Who knew what she would be capable of if she was to become the mistress? Nancy didn't even want to think about it.

Meanwhile, Leila had been preparing her stuff quickly. She was nervous that she didn't have time anymore as David had kept her busy for too long. She was anxious to see Charles.

She wanted to board her flight as soon as Melissa called her. She just wanted Charles to see her as soon as possible.

Upon thinking of this, Leila let out a soft chuckle.

Soon, she had finished packing. All she needed to do now was wait for Melissa's call.

Time passed by slowly as she waited for the call. She decided to call Holley while waiting. Now that Leila had handled a project herself, if she could help Charles with another one when they came back, she would impress him.

She called Holley as soon as she thought of this.

Holley was dealing with a lot these past few days, and she was constantly being watched by Rex's men too. How could she not worry?

When her cell phone rang, she trembled inst

about something as small as this?"

Leila pouted when she heard this. She hesitated for a while before letting out a laugh. "I just want to be safe. Are you going to help me or not?"

"Of course, I'm going to help you because it's also going to benefit me," Holley said through gritted teeth.

Leila nodded in satisfaction and continued, "All right, I'm going to Malaysia. Take care of yourself. I'll be sure to bring something home from my trip for you."

Holley just snorted in response before hanging up the phone.

Leila was in a good mood despite being hung up on. After all, she was controlling Holley, and using her for her own personal gain.

In a better mood, Leila had prepared everything and headed downstairs.

When Leila came down, Nancy was clipping some plants in the garden and looking at her from a distance.

Leila lifted both her hands to her chest and put on a cold look. After a while, she decided to wander out of the house and slowly approached Nancy.

Although Nancy was working, she could feel someone approaching her. She then turned to see who it was. She was surprised to find that it was Leila. Nancy continued to work, ignoring Leila.
