62. A SUBSTITUTE IS A SUBSTITUTE
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56What a tiring day for Vivian. Pretending to be Elena in front of people who didn't know her was easy enough for her, but pretending to be the girl in front of the girl's classmates was a completely different case.
It turned out that Elena was quite famous in her class. That was probably to be expected since the girl was not only beautiful but also smart. So, everyone in the class knew her, and that was why the whole class suddenly became noisy when they saw how the brown-haired girl entered the classroom.
"Where were you last month, Vester?"
"Yeah! You skipped classes for two whole weeks, but fortunately, there was a whole month off campus due to building renovations. If you skip classes for six straight weeks, then you will definitely lose your scholarship, right?"
Vivian heard such questions from Elena's classmates after she stepped into the classroom. She had heard from Tommy that Elena had been missing six weeks ago, but that didn't count as the girl

Someone stepped out of the shiny black car. It was a man in a black suit who looked to be in his fifties. Vivian remembered that she had seen the man several times, and that was why Samantha might have been right that the man was going to pick her up. "You even play with a grandpa now, Elena?" A sudden whisper came from her side, and sure enough, the person who had just whispered to her was Samantha Bach. "Shut up!" Vivian sternly warned the blue-haired girl when she saw how the middle-aged man walked toward where she was standing. The man probably would feel offended by Samantha's careless question if he managed to hear it, right? “Good afternoon, My Lady. Master ordered me to pick you up,” the man said politely as he stood in front of Vivian. “So, you are now a lady of the house, huh? Don't tell me you've married a rich man in the past month and that's the reason behind your absence before today, Vester,” Samantha whispered sarcastically at her side again, and Vivian was dumbfou

It was confirmed that the man named Jacob Stensen was indeed Stefan's man, but Vivian was confused when the man said that they had to pick up someone else, so she immediately asked, “Are we going to pick up Mr. Stefan Dahl after this?”Vivian had no idea of Stefan's plan at all. This morning, the man asked Steen to drive her to her campus on the way to the company, but the man did not tell her that he would assign someone to pick her up this afternoon. At first, she was going to take a taxi back to the mansion, but she changed her mind when Stefan's driver suddenly appeared in front of her campus."We won't be going to the company after this, My Lady," replied the driver as he continued driving down the busy street. “Master was driving this morning, and that's why we didn't have to pick him up. Instead, we need to pick up Madame.”Madame. Vivian knew the driver was referring to Kate Dahl when he used that word.“Is Mrs. Dahl

“Stanley! You shouldn't say such things to your sister!"Who is my sister, Mom? I only have a brother! I don't even know her, so she can't be my sister!Vivian was still sitting in the backseat of the car, and the car door was still open. Outside the door, Kate Dahl was arguing with her nearly seven-year-old son.It might have seemed ridiculous when an adult argued with a child, but even Vivian wanted to snap when she heard how Stanley Dahl had carelessly said she was a witch. This was the first time she had been called a witch, and the one who had called her was none other than her brother-in-law. Of course, that was enough to piss her off.Thankfully, Vivian still had quite a bit of patience, or perhaps she was just too tired so she decided not to waste her energy arguing with the black-haired boy. In the end, it was Kate Dahl who scolded her son.Kate looked embarrassed when her son could even say such a thing to someone who had only joine
I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 66. STANLEY'S BIRTHDAY
Maybe Kate Dahl was just saying that out of courtesy. Granted, Vivian had no idea why Dahl had finally chosen Elena Vester as Steen's wife even though there must have been girls lining up for him before the man finally announced his marriage a week ago.Sure enough, there were a lot of girls who were heartbroken by the announcement, and maybe the girls even cursed Vivian for stealing the man they had in their dreams before the dreams were shattered.Until now, the public still did not know the identity of Steen's wife. The Dahl family deliberately concealed the identity of Steen's wife, and that was why those heartbroken girls didn't know that it was Vivian who had won the throne as Steen's wife. However, even if those girls didn't know about her identity, they would still curse Vivian for stealing the man of their dreams."I heard from Jacob that you went to the elementary school because Stanley is starting school next month, Mrs. Dahl," Vivian chose to change
I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 67. HER HUSBAND WILL TEACH HER
If the media managed to find out the information about how Vivian became the wife of a billionaire, then her face would definitely be plastered on television and in newspapers for days, and people she knew might find out the truth about her.Not even her former boss at Ladder to Paradise knew the real reason behind her decision to leave the place, and Alexa, her closest friend at the place, also knew nothing about what she was doing in Haston City.The two people didn't know about it, and neither did her mother know that she was now the wife of a billionaire. Yes, her mother didn't know the truth all along, but if the media started publicizing the truth on television and the internet, the woman would eventually know that she was just a con artist who was hungry for money.Vivian knew the fact about Stanley's birthday party that was to be held in three weeks, and she was also aware of the fact that the media would be invited to the party, knowing that the Dahl fa

What did Steen say after hearing his father's order? Of course, that was a refusal that escaped his lips.“Do you think I'm free enough to teach her how to drive? If I have free time, then I prefer to use it to sleep.”That was what Steen said before he hurriedly got up from the dining table and walked out of the dining room. Perhaps the black-haired man was simply too fed up with the conversation in the dining room, and that was why he quickly grabbed his black suit before walking out of the room.Everyone in the dining room seemed to have expected the man to behave like that, and that was why Stefan calmly asked Vivian to quickly catch up with the man so the two of them could leave the mansion together.Vivian hesitated, thinking that she would just hail a taxi that would send her to her college, but how Stefan immediately glared at her was enough to tell her that the order was absolute, and that was why she chose to obey him as she

It was like a custom in society. A wealthy family often owned more than one car in a household, and each family member might own one or more vehicles. However, it was different from households that could not be said to be rich. If one household had a car, then the car belonged to all family members. Vivian knew how Elena's family did have a car, and she, as someone who was pretending to be Elena, could indeed say that the car was hers. That was why it was wrong when she said that she didn't have a car so she didn't want to learn to drive. Even Steen noticed the oddity, and that was why the man immediately pointed out the strangeness. At this time, the black-haired man was still driving his car in the middle of a busy street. The morning was the time for people to start their activities. Students would go to school, and employees would go to their companies. Therefore, the streets were bustling with busy people. “That's my family's car, and my brother often drives it to go out. That'

The last time she visited this building was over a week ago. Just then, someone suddenly came up to her and said that she shouldn't visit this building too often, and that was why Vivian had not come to the building again in the past week.But maybe a week was long enough to be a gap between her visits to this place, right? Vivian didn't even tell Tommy she was coming to this place today, but she didn't care about that.She hailed a taxi when she was still in the campus area, and it took her nearly half an hour to reach this place. The taxi stopped in the front yard of the building, and after paying the taxi fare, Vivian got out of the yellow vehicle.After walking for a while, she finally caught a glimpse of a person standing in front of the building's entrance, and she quickened her pace before finally stopping in front of that person."Are you Amanda Ravn?" Vivian asked the yellow-haired girl standing in front of her.It was a young girl, maybe

A name. It was not just a group of letters used to address someone so they would turn to the caller and not ignore the caller. A name had a deeper meaning than that. A name was used to identify a person, used to distinguish someone from other individuals. A name would always stick with a person from the time they were born until the day they last breathed, and even at their final resting place, their name would also be written or engraved to let everyone know that the body buried underground belonged to the owner of the name. A name was indeed an important part of one's life, and that was why one would not feel happy if someone called them by the wrong name. Perhaps that was also the reason why Vivian had returned to wearing a wedding dress today. It was still the same wedding dress she wore months ago when she officially became Steen's wife, but because she was using someone else's name then, she and Steen decided to have another wedding ceremony to announce to everyone that it was

Their next stop was the penthouse at the Golden Roof Apartments, and it might also be their last stop. Only three people entered the penthouse after Elena was sent to her family's residence. After Lily and her family were arrested by the police, the house was empty, and that's why Elena lived there temporarily. Yes, only temporarily because Elena planned to move after finding a suitable place to live. Vivian had actually invited her to move in with her and Sarah in the small house, but Elena rejected the idea, saying that she didn't want to disturb the two of them and that Sarah might be uncomfortable if she joined them to live in the cramped house. Vivian said that Sarah wouldn't feel that way because that woman also wanted to meet Elena and wanted to live with her too, but Elena still resisted the idea. In the end, Vivian only said that she would try to find a bigger house, and if that could happen, the three of them might be able to move in together.

Someone was standing in the middle of the mansion's stairs. With teary eyes, he looked at the people standing in the living room one by one. His eyes were not only filled with tears, but the two of them were also filled with fear and confusion. He looked lost and lonely even if he wasn't alone in the big building. Maybe the adults in the living room kept talking about Stanley before, but they probably forgot that the kid was also in the mansion the whole time, and they also weren't aware of the possibility that the innocent boy had heard everything from the second floor. But maybe Steen was aware of the possibility, but he simply didn't care at all. That was why he looked away from the boy before saying, "Let's go." Both words were aimed at Vivian and Elena, like how he had suggested the three of them leave the mansion immediately. But neither Vivian nor Elena moved from their positions even after hearing the order, and they both focused their

Steen somehow could not directly answer his father's question this time. He was still grinding his teeth to suppress his anger, but no words could come out of his mouth at this moment. Recalling the disgusting memory, he remembered how he did not find any used condoms in the hotel room, and it was easy to tell that he had done it without any protection the night before. He wasn't even sure if it was because he couldn't think straight when he did it or maybe it was Kate's intention, but he was sure there weren't any used condoms in the hotel room at the time. He wasn't stupid, and that was why he could see the possibility of her being pregnant after they had a such activity that night, and it was also the reason why he hated that kid called Stanley so much. Even if he didn't try to find evidence that Stanley was indeed his son, he could see the similarities the boy had with him, and it had the power to terrify him. Because of that, he had alway
I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 300. THE DISGUSTING MEMORY
Kate had been dragged from the mansion by the police, and even the man named Peter had also been caught by the police. Hence, only four people were left in the living room after Marlon also left the place. There were only Steen, Stefan, Vivian, and Elena in the living room. Everyone still ignored the presence of plush sofas in the living room as they preferred to remain standing rather than sitting comfortably. They all even continued to stand like statues. Even Steen who previously looked the calmest of them, now looked shaken after hearing what Kate proudly said before being dragged away by the police. "I always knew that the child was not mine," Stefan muttered breaking the tense silence in the living room. “I always knew about it, but I didn't expect the child to be yours, Steen. How are you going to explain it to me? Do you like your stepmother? You have treated her coldly all along, but you even got her pregnant with your child. I didn't expect yo

“Recently, that bitch doesn't dare to touch her phone because her phone is haunted by my mother, right? Ah! Even her fear should be enough to tell that she was scared because she had done something to my mother in the past, but I know that such a thing wouldn't be enough to prove that she was indeed a criminal. That's why I focused on finding something on her phones that were ignored by her out of fear in the past week. On one of her cellphones, I found enough evidence to land her in jail.” When everyone was speechless, it was Steen who continued to speak. Turns out that was his real plan. He didn't plan to pressure Kate so she would kill herself just like his mother did years ago, but he just wanted her to ignore her cell phone so he would get a chance to touch it. Yesterday Kate left the mansion without her cell phone, and Steen took the opportunity to look for more evidence in the cell phone. Finally, he found what he was looking for in one of her cell phones.

"SHUT UP! DON'T TALK NONSENSE IN MY HOUSE!" Kate immediately shouted at Peter, but even her voice sounded unsteady as she looked nervous as hell. Her voice was shaking, her pupils were trembling, and even her breathing was ragged. All eyes suddenly fell on the blonde woman, and it was finally Stefan who opened his mouth to respond to the woman, "Are you sure what he said was just nonsense?" Stefan also looked surprised after hearing what Peter had just said, but he still had time to ask the woman that question. At this moment, the woman no longer glared at the kneeling man, and instead, she stiffly shifted her gaze to Stefan. Stefan was her husband, and he was known for his strict and assertive personality. Many people were afraid of him, even Kate was afraid of him before they got married years ago. But today she somehow looked scared again when she had to face the old man even if the man was her spouse. “D-don't listen to what that

Steen had revealed everything. He had disclosed how Vivian and Elena were actually part of a family living far away from Haston City, but Elena was kidnapped by Lily and her husband two decades ago. At that time, the twins' parents died in a car accident, and little Vivian was found by a couple after the incident, and she was raised by the couple into adulthood. Steen deliberately did not mention how Sarah had purposely taken Vivian as her daughter instead of returning the child to her relatives, nor did he mention the name of the family Vivian and Elena came from. He didn't think that the information was necessary, and that's why he kept it a secret. And maybe Stefan really didn't need that information, and the story Steen had just uncovered had shocked the old man enough. His pair of eyes widened as he looked at the twins, but he still didn't say anything as he still couldn't overcome his shock. Steen could see how his father was stunned by

It was Marlon who had just entered the mansion, but this time he was not alone. His hand was holding another person's arm, and that person's hands were tied with a rope behind his back. After arriving at the living room, Marlon forced the person to kneel in front of the five people. One person looked confident after seeing the person's appearance in the living room, while three other people looked shocked and confused, then one person looked scared as her eyes widened when she saw the person who had just arrived in the living room with Marlon. "So, he's the person, Marlon?" It was Steen who looked confident upon seeing the person's arrival in the living room, and although his question was directed at Marlon, his eyes were glued to the figure kneeling in front of him. “Yes, sir,” Marlon immediately answered his boss's question. “His name is Peter Ford, and he works in a bar in town. He's the one who posted that anonymous article about you, sir.”
