The Substitute Bride

"Oh, I see." With a sigh of relief, Oliver said to Holley, "Okay, I will treat her as you say. I promise that you'll be satisfied."

His compliance made her grin as she replied, "Thank you, Oliver."

It was a pity that Sheryl escaped last time. Now that she entered the trap voluntarily, Holley had to take the chance to teach her a lesson.

Walking up to the man, she whispered, "Oliver, Sher is a little shy, so I hope you can take the initiative."

"Don't worry, I know." Oliver's lips twisted into a grin.

Meanwhile, Sheryl was trying to run away, thinking that the other two didn't notice her while they shared a conversation. However, the strong man blocked her path.

Trying to take another step, she shouted, "Get out of my way! Let me out!" With an arched brow, she tried to shove him out of the way but clearly, the difference in strength was too big. Even as she pushed him as forcefully as she could, he remained motionless.

From the side, Holley ran towards her and gripped her hand, wearing a devilish smile. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Just sit and have a cup of tea."

"Let me go!" Sneering at Holley, she said with great disdain, "I was stupid to have ever been concerned for you. I shouldn't have tried to bring you home. If I had the chance, I would never do it again!"

Her smile turning cold, Holley said, "You shouldn't meddle in other people's business. Don't blame me.

Stay here and join us. Oliver is very interested in you. Why don't you have a drink with him?"

Trying to pry Holley's hand off her arm, Sheryl yelled, "Get your hands off me!" When she finally got her arm free, her voice turned cold as she asked the man, "Oliver, do you know Charles Lu of Shining Company?"

"Mr. Lu?" In the man's mind, Charles was rathe

"You treacherous woman! You dare make up lies about Mr. Lu?" With a shake of her head, she smirked maliciously. "Enough! Just drink the wine."

Seeing that Holley was ready to force the drink down her throat, Sheryl violently pushed the glass away.

They watched as it slid off the table and fell onto the floor, shattering into pieces.

"Bitch! Since you don't want to do this the easy way…Fine. I'll teach you a lesson." No longer able to control his temper, Oliver suddenly stood up and raised his palm, ready to strike the woman. At that instant, a familiar voice came from the direction of the door.

"Oh, it's pretty busy here, huh?" Standing across from them was Charles.

Upon hearing his voice, Sheryl couldn't help but let tears roll down her cheeks in relief.

For the other party, however, it meant the whole plan was ruined.

"Mr. Lu?" When Charles stepped in front of him, Oliver was rendered speechless.

It was like magic. Never would he have expected to see Charles right after they spoke his name.

Immediately lowering his hand, he forced a decent smile towards Charles and cleared his voice. "Mr. Lu, what brings you here?" he asked courteously.
