The Substitute Bride

After the public exposure of the truth, Sheryl's reputation was restored, and she was even more famous than ever before, which meant that the tragedy served her quite well in the end.

If anything, at least this time she gained a worthy reputation.

With Sheryl in charge of Cloud Advertising Company and Charles backing her up, their days at the company would be better than ever before.

Or, at least that was what the employees thought. All they really wanted was a safe environment to work in. Surely, they didn't know that when they'd made their choice, Cloud Advertising Company had nothing to do with them.

"Why are you guys still here? I thought that you'd already left? Why are you returning now?" Before Sheryl could speak, Isla had already lectured the employees for her.

"Isla, there must be a misunderstanding between us. It's not that we want to leave here, but..." Of course, they didn't want to let go of such an good opportunity to stay in the company.

"You don't have to say anything. There's no point. All of us can see that you've chosen to leave, which means that Cloud Advertising Company has nothing to do with you anymore. Just take the money and go!" Isla said in an unkind tone.

"Isla, how can you let us leave like this? Ms. Xia hasn't even said anything yet!" Many of them began to regret handing in their resignations.

"Well, I guess I have to take a stand," Sheryl said coldly. "Isla, I'll leave this to you."

After saying that, Sheryl picked up her cellphone and left.

Looking at the scene in front of them, the rest of the staff stood in place with shock and dull expressions on their faces. They all felt the urge to ask for Isla's forgiveness, but they didn't know how.

"What are you all looking at? Don't just stand there! Cloud Advertising Company is not big enough to accommodate all of you, so if you want to leave, then just go." Isla was fed up and didn't want to say another single word to them.

"Isla, everything must be a misunderstanding. You should listen to us and let us explain before making assumptions." They were not willing to leave the company now.

"What? What do you mean by this being a misunderstanding? The only thing that I think is a misunderstanding here, is the naked

"Sher, can you go to the hotel to pick up my mother and return to Dream Garden together?" Charles had planned to pick her up by himself, but wasn't able to get away from his busy schedule. He had something very important to do instead.

Nevertheless, he recalled to himself that he promised to pick Melissa up today. That was the only reason why he had to ask Sheryl to do it.

Charles briefly thought that Melissa would become more fond of Sheryl, mainly because all of the misconceptions about her were cleared up.

Perhaps it would be good for easing the tension between the two of them.

Sheryl knew what her husband was thinking. She wasn't convinced and didn't want to do what Charles asked of her, but she proceeded to tell him what he wanted to hear anyway. "Okay, I'll go. Just give me the address."

"Okay, I'll send it to your cellphone right now. Sher, you should be kind when you see my mother later. I'm certain that she'll change her attitude towards you once she learns about what happened in the news," Charles reminded.

Sheryl nodded, in an attempt to reassure him that it was okay.

She still wasn't convinced, however, and thought that it would be impossible for Melissa to change her attitude towards her.

After all, the fact that Melissa disliked her was not because of the nude photos. After this incident, no matter whether Sheryl's name had been cleared, her suspicion would remain. Sheryl knew that she would always be viewed as bad in Melissa's eyes.
