The Substitute Bride: Making Memories Of Us (Lois Stone)

Ayla could hang up the phone, Brian stood up quickly, grabbed her phone and threw it on the floor.

The phone broke in half instantly.

"My phone!" Ayla screamed.

She looked at the broken phone on the ground in horror.

She bought the phone by saving money for several months.

Although she had used the phone for many years, she couldn't afford another phone at this moment.

"Oh? Are you bothered by that broken phone? You're from the Woodsen family.This inexpensive phone must not be too much for you.If you want to talk to that Toby, I can give you my phone."

Brian was furious after learning Arlene didn't take him seriously when he asked her not to contact Toby anymore.

He walked towards her broken phone and stared at it with a scowl.

"This old model of your phone is making me suspect whether you are really from the Woodsen family." Ayla flinched at his words.

He had suspected her.

What if he found out the truth? If he learned it somehow that she was not Arlene, the whole Woodsen family would suffer the consequences.

Ayla tried to sound firm when she replied, "Of course I'm from the Woodsen family.Let's make a deal.From now on, I'll listen to your every instruction, and in turn, you won't hurt my father or Toby.You agree?"

Brian turned around and glared at her.

"You aren't qualified to make a deal with me.I don't even trust you.Just keep your mouth shut and stay at home."

Ayla had no power to disobey him.

There was no other way but to accept his every command.

Meanwhile, Toby was confused when the call got cut shortly.

He dialed her number again, but the line didn't connect.

He anxiously asked for her address from her classmates.

But no one knew where she lived.

He lingered at the school gate almost the entire day.

But Ayla didn't show up.

When the classes were over, it was almost dusk.

Veronica and Lisa walked out of the school together and spotted Toby in front of the school gate.

"Isn't he Ayla's friend? What is he doing here?" Lisa said to Veronica.

"He must be looking for Ayla.She hasn't come today.She might have fallen sick," Veronica said worriedly.

"How could Ayla be sick? Isn't she with some rich man now? Won't he take care of her like a princess? She doesn't even need to come to school!"

Lisa said that aloud intentionally to make Toby hear what she said.

And it worked.
