Chapter 1 Substitution
The Herbart family was a giant in Cloud City.
In a spacious and luxurious bedroom, a tall and noble man suddenly grabbed the bride in a wedding dress and furiously said, "You're not Nicole. The Kent family is bold. They cheated me! They are courting death!"
The bride was wearing a white mask covering most of her face, revealing only her star-like shining eyes.
When the man condescendingly looked at Blanche, she suddenly found her mask almost falling off. And her heart skipped a beat before she adjusted it.
Then, the man opened the door with a bang and strode out.
Looking at the bride thrown to the ground, the servant who had witnessed everything was stunned. She hurriedly walked over and said, "Mrs. Herbart, are you okay? Let me help you up."
"Thanks."
After getting up, Blanche rubbed her bruised neck and glanced at the door. Then, a hint of confusion flashed across her red eyes.
"Is that man Louis?"
The servant fixed the wedding dress and replied, "Yes, he is Mr. Herbart, your husband."
Louis was rumored to be a cripple, so Nicole had cried, said she would never marry a disabled man, and asked her to marry him in place of her. But he turned out to be tall and long-legged. He had steadily stridden out, so there was nothing wrong with his legs.
Blanche smiled. Louis was not a cripple as rumored. Instead, he was handsome and had a supermodel figure. If her elder sister Nicole knew about it, she would deeply regret it.
Blanche lifted her wedding dress, walked to the brightly colored wedding bed, and sat down, asking, "Is it time for dinner?"
She had not had food since this morning, so she was hungry.
The servant was confused. Mr. Herbart had almost strangled Mrs. Herbart to death. the latter had been teary just now but regained her calmness in a blink of an eye. It was weird.
Noticing Blanche looking at her, the servant quickly stopped thinking nonsense, lowered her head, and stammered, "Mrs. Herbart, everyone but you have had dinner."
Blanche was stunned, wondering why they had not asked her to have dinner. It must be because the Herbart family did not welcome her. It was rumored that Tammy had always been strict. She had not asked her to have dinner because she wanted to psych her daughter-in-law out on the first day of the marriage.
