Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1254: The Stunning and Sinister Boy

Chapter 1254: Chapter 1254: The Stunning and Sinister Boy

Dianna Hollis’s belly grew bigger by the day. Because of the twins, the latter stages of pregnancy were quite tough. Serena flew over, and Leah Thorne accompanied Dianna, waiting for her to give birth.

Serena didn’t come alone; she brought her daughter, Willow Crawford.

Willow had been a princess since childhood, attending The Royal Academy. This chosen girl had always followed her destined path, never deviating. However, Serena and Hayden Crawford discussed it and took Willow away from her high position, letting her enter an elite city high school, together with Justin Xavier and Leah’s daughter, Vivi Xavier.

At this time, Willow was still a few years away from turning 18. Once she reached 18, she was to be engaged to Prince Rosen, becoming the primary princess consort. Serena hoped her daughter could experience the real world before getting engaged. Sometimes, she wished her daughter was just an ordinary girl.

But this journey made Serena uneasy because the night before taking Willow away, she received a letter from her younger son, Gael Crawford.

This letter came from a mysterious corner of the world, with just two short lines written on it—Cherish love amidst mortal toil, ashes scatter, the heart extinguishes.

At this moment, Serena had the urge to grab her younger son Gael to give him a good beating. This was her own son, yet he was playing mysterious tricks on her. But...forget it, now he was the first legend in the realm.

Yes, years ago, the name Gael Crawford had already ascended to the divine altar. It’s said that this first master had supreme magic to foresee the future, and people respectfully referred to him as High Monk Gael.

Even if Serena had the heart to beat him, she no longer had the ability.

Cherish love amidst mortal toil, ashes scatter, the heart extinguishes.

These nine words left by Gael became a heavy stone on Serena’s heart. Could it be that Willow was really going to face tribulations in the mortal world?

Despite such doubts, the mortal journey was quite enjoyable. Willow and Vivi, these two sister-like friends, always had endless secrets to share, with deep affections.

Willow successfully entered the top high school. There, she was remarkably low-key, but this noble maiden could hardly go unnoticed; wherever she went, she was destined to outshine everyone.

"Sister Willow, look at the high school beauty rankings. You just enrolled and replaced the former one, becoming the new school beauty!" Vivi laughed excitedly.

Though Vivi was in the junior division, she shared the same campus with Willow, and the two would go home together after school.

Today, Willow wore her high school uniform—a white shirt with a vest, plaid skirt below, black round-toed shoes, and pulled-up white socks. Every girl wore it this way, yet it stood out on Willow.

Willow was a noble girl, raised with royal etiquette. That elegance and nobility flowed naturally from her very being, an unmatched trait among other girls, coupled with her appealing figure, any clothing worn on her had a celebrity-like brand allure.

Today, she had her hair in a high ponytail, revealing a radiant and lovely face. Her features were entirely exquisite, garnering a hundred percent attention on the street.

"Look quickly, that’s Willow from the first year, class three!"

"Oh my, this junior sister is so beautiful!"

"Indeed, she’s now our new school beauty!"

As school dismissed, classmates emerged, with many stopping to sneak glances at Willow, and many boys were captivated.

Willow was immune to such attention and took Vivi’s hand, "Vivi, the car is here, let’s go home."

The Xavier family’s private car stopped, and Butler Felix respectfully opened the rear door, "Miss and Miss Crawford, it’s time to get in."

Just Willow and Vivi standing there could cause a traffic jam.

Willow and Vivi prepared to get in the car.

But at this moment, a commotion was heard, someone said, "Look, Miles Linden is here!"

Willow looked up, seeing the crowd ahead automatically make way for a tall, handsome boy coming over.

The boy wore a simple white T-shirt with jeans. He was very tall, a head taller than Willow. His skin was very fair, sickly pale, yet he was strikingly handsome, exuding an astonishing yet sinister cold presence.

The surrounding students seemed fearful of him, keeping their distance.

Vivi quickly tugged Willow, whispering, "Sister Willow, let’s stay away. Miles is scary. Why is he here at the top school? Could he be enrolling here?"

Miles Linden?

Willow didn’t know Miles, but everyone seemed afraid of him, so she curiously looked at him a few more times.

As if noticing her gaze, Miles suddenly raised his head and looked over.

In that instant, their eyes met.

Willow met a pair of narrow, sharp phoenix eyes, shaded by his messy bangs, very dark, and very cold, harboring a profound inscrutable demeanor like a dangerous abyss.

Miles looked over, just quietly watching her for a moment.

Willow had met many people, mostly gentle and pleasant ones, but this gloomy, sinister boy was a first for her.

Being stared at like this made her fingers curl with a bit of fear inside.

Her instinct told her he was dangerous, and she didn’t want to get close.

Then Miles casually broke the gaze and walked into the top school.

...

In the luxury car.

Butler Felix was driving, and Vivi shared the gossip she had heard with Willow, "Sister Willow, this Miles Linden is quite famous here. They say years ago he nearly beat someone to death, that person is still bed-ridden. Since he was a minor, he didn’t go to prison, but he was sent to juvenile detention for half a year. We’re all afraid of him, everyone secretly calls him a murderer."

"It’s also said he comes from a poor family. His mother died early, his father is a gamble-addicted drunkard, oh right, he also has a sister, it’s rumored she does... that unspeakable work..."

"Why is he at the top school, is he enrolling here? Sister Willow, stay away from him."

Vivi spoke while sticking out her tongue, adorably innocent, obviously frightened by those "rumors."

In Willow’s mind flashed the image of the boy’s dark and cold phoenix eyes, like an abyss.

She quickly shook her head, not wanting to think about that boy anymore.

She had no interest in him, knowing she had her own path to follow, she and that boy lived in completely different worlds, they would never intersect.
