The Substitute Bride and the CEO's Forbidden Passion

"These are the places Jocelyn and I visited this afternoon. Each photo has a shooting time, and the places we went to are at least ten kilometers away from the hospital where Miss Chevalier is. "

"That is to say, if I wanted to run from here to Miss Chevalier's hospital, delete the video and then come back here, there would need to be at least nearly two hours of free time in between. And these photos can prove that this free time simply doesn't exist."

Jocelyn's eyes lit up. She suddenly realized why the young mistress had been taking selfies so often while they were shopping this afternoon.

Alexandre Montfort's eyes swept over the photos on the phone, and then landed on Claire Wentworth with great interest.

She had deleted the video, yet could still speak with such confidence and present evidence so convincingly that everyone would think Sophie Chevalier was lying. Her scheming was truly remarkable.

Seeing that all her arguments were blocked, Sophie Chevalier simply skipped the topic of the video.

"Fine, even if the video doesn't exist, the fact that you pushed me down the stairs is real, and so is my injury from it!"

Claire Wentworth laughed merrily.

"I said you were silly, but you didn't believe me. The video you mentioned doesn't exist at all, so the reason for me to push you down the stairs is gone. If there's no reason, then the authenticity of this result is obvious, isn't it?"

Sophie Chevalier had an expression of sudden realization.

"Claire Wentworth, so this was your plan. Third brother, did you hear that? It was her. She planned everything..."

"Leo, send Miss Chevalier back to the hospital."

Alexandre Montfort finally couldn't bear to listen anymore and said coldly.

He hadn't thought Sophie Chevalier was this stupid before, but today, her low IQ was on full display, which was really disappointing.

Upon hearing that Young Master Montfort was going to send her to the hospital, Sophie Chevalier's face instantly turned pale.

The third brother she had loved since childhood actually doubted her because of a substitute bride and was going to force her to go to the hospital.

There were doctors right at home!

"Miss Chevalier, let's go." Leo came over to urge.

Sophie Chevalier bit her lip and looked at Alexandre Montfort with a wronged expression, hoping he would change his mind.

But Alexandre Montfort just looked at her coldly, showing no sign of compromise.

Sophie Chevalier didn't dare to be stubborn anymore. She reluctantly got up.

Then she glared fiercely at Claire Wentworth, and then looked at Alexandre Montfort with a plaintive gaze. Only then did she leave, looking back every few steps.

As soon as Sophie Chevalier left, Claire Wentworth turned her attention to the food.

The food in the Montfort family was really delicious.

In her previous life, since she could remember, she had eaten leftovers. As long as they didn't smell bad, it was fine, let alone taste good. Later, when she was in prison, things got even...

In short, now, looking at the table full of fresh food, Claire Wentworth felt that everything tasted like a delicacy.

"Did that video really not exist?" Alexandre Montfort suddenly asked.

Claire Wentworth was silent for two seconds. "It existed. I did delete it."

She was quite honest.

The corners of Alexandre Montfort's mouth curved slightly again involuntarily. "Why did you delete it? Were you心虚?"

"Because that video was taken through deception and design. I didn't think it was necessary to exist. Of course, if Young Master Montfort you think it's necessary, I can restore the full - version video for you to see."

"No need."

He wasn't that bored. Since she dared to say so, it was natural that the video had no unfavorable factors for her.

"Thank you for your trust and for standing up for me just now. I'm very happy."

Claire Wentworth smiled sincerely and leaned forward slightly.

"Young Master Montfort, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

"Speak."

"You should know how Sophie Chevalier feels about you, right? But you've always remained tacit and even indulgent. Why?"

"Because the old master likes her very much, and I don't want to make the old master unhappy."

"If you really didn't want to make the old master unhappy, you shouldn't have come to Suncrest City to marry Victoire Wentworth. You should have married Sophie Chevalier directly, right?"

"So?"

"So, since Young Master Montfort you have no intention of marrying Sophie Chevalier, then please find a way to dispel her unrealistic fantasies. Just as I promise not to cuckold you, I hope you won't do the same to me!"

"Claire Wentworth!"

Alexandre Montfort suddenly became irritable. "I'm dying!"

Uh?

Claire Wentworth froze. After a moment, she apologized, "I'm sorry!"

She just didn't want to be betrayed by a man again and wanted to remind him. How did it make him think of something like "dying"?

Could it be that...

Sophie Chevalier was actually the woman he loved?

Because he knew he was dying, he deliberately distanced himself from her, hoping she would pursue her own happiness? To this end, he even specially married a wife to make her jealous, sad, and give up?

Just as she was lost in thought, Alexandre Montfort's voice rang out again.

"Do you think, in my current situation, is it possible for me to cuckold you?"

Claire Wentworth froze again and quickly glanced at him.

He lowered his eyelids. Although there was anger on his body, his emotions seemed very low.

She had hurt his self - esteem.

Claire Wentworth awkwardly squeezed the chopsticks in her hand and comforted him.

"Actually, love is a very magical thing. It's so magical that it can transcend life and death, not to mention just a minor illness. Young Master Montfort, you should believe in your personal charm..."

"If you were in my shoes, would you like a man with paraplegia who surely can't bring you a fulfilling sex life?"

Claire Wentworth blushed instantly.

Did Young Master Montfort always talk so straightforwardly?

"Would you like him?" he pressed.

Claire Wentworth braced herself. Since she had hurt his self - esteem, she had to help rebuild it. After all, he was her future backer and couldn't be discouraged.

So she replied with a word as if facing death, "Yes."

A flash of amusement quickly passed through Alexandre Montfort's eyes. "That's good. Then I don't have to worry about our relationship as husband and wife."

Claire Wentworth: "..."

Why did she feel like she had been tricked?

...

After dinner, Leo pushed Alexandre Montfort into the elevator.

"The person who came to investigate in Suncrest City two years ago was you, right?" Alexandre Montfort asked.

"Yes. Victoire Wentworth liked that cufflink so much that she made it into a necklace and wore it around her neck, so I could find her so quickly. But, master, Victoire Wentworth is a problematic woman. She..."

Alexandre Montfort looked up at him, and Leo immediately shut up.

"If she comes looking for me, bring her to me directly."

"Yes." Leo replied.

He clearly knew Victoire Wentworth was not a good person, but the master still couldn't let her go.

Just because she had saved his life two years ago.

Alas! What on earth is love?

Just as Leo was sighing silently, Young Master Montfort suddenly spoke.

"Re - investigate what happened two years ago!"

Leo was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Yes."

In the hospital.

Victoire Wentworth saw Lucas Moreau off, then turned around, took a bag from the cabinet, took out a diamond - inlaid cufflink from it, and hung it on her necklace.

Standing in front of the mirror, looking at herself in the mirror with a delicate and weak appearance, Victoire Wentworth gradually curled up an insidious and cunning smile.
