The Substitute Bride

"Damian, what happened last night? Is Sheryl your girlfriend?" Duke didn't know what to make of things. Damian had said last time that he and Sheryl weren't together because Sheryl didn't have any feelings for him. However, just a few days later, they were seen sharing a hotel room together.

"I can't tell you the whole story right now, but can you help me with the press?" Damian knew that Sheryl must be stressing over the press, so he was trying to figure out a way to help Sheryl. It was also his way of lessening the guilt he was feeling.

"Don't worry. I'm already dealing with it now. I'm also asking for help from other people, but millions of users are already discussing the issue online. It's going to be hard, but I'll try my best." Duke looked at Damian, feeling a little embarrassed.

Damian nodded. He completely understood Duke. The Li family was pretty well-known abroad, but they were newcomers here, so it was going to be a challenge.

"I see. Do your best." Damian knew that there was no point in hurrying Duke as no matter what he said, he knew Duke could only do so much.

"What are you going to do? I heard that there was a man named Charles, who was looking for you. Is he interested in Sheryl too?" Duke only knew about Charles and Sheryl from the news.

"Well, I already know what I'm going to do. I'd better be leaving now." Damian didn't want to talk with Duke anymore. So he stopped Duke, got up, and left the cafe without hesitation.

Duke followed him from behind.

"Damian, you need tell me the truth. You can't keep hiding like this. What happened to you and Sheryl? Did you know about Charles and Sheryl before?" Duke felt that he was being cheated by Damian. He was worried about Damian, but Damian wouldn't tell him the truth.

"Even if I knew, so what? Would you not do everything to be with the woman that you love?" Damian raised his voice, he was starting to get a little bit angry.

Duke wanted to advise Damian on what to do, but upon hearing this, he remained silent.

He could understand Damian, though, especia

was waiting for him. He saw that Mr. Liu came out, smiling. He walked toward him, "How was it?"

"It was fine. It wasn't as bad as I expected it to be." Mr. Liu was a bit confused. Every press outlet was talking about Sheryl, so he could only guess what Charles must be feeling. However, when he saw Charles, he noticed he was more sad than angry.

Mr. Liu didn't know whether what he saw was right or not.

Everyone was talking about Sheryl. Even Mr. Liu, who didn't pay much attention to the news, knew about Sheryl.

"Really?" David was confused too, but he just shrugged it off and went back to work, urging Mr. Liu to do the same.

At least David now knew that Charles was seeing people in his office, he hurried back to Charles' office.

David knocked on the door and waited for Charles to give him permission to come in.

"Mr. Lu."

"What is it? If it's not important, please leave right away." Charles looked at David in displease.

David hesitated for a while before he spoke, "Mr. Lu, there's someone who's helping Sheryl with the press."

David had found out earlier, but when he came to see Charles earlier, Charles had seemed busy.

"I see. Do you already know what happened last night?" Charles couldn't shake off the feeling that something else had gone wrong, but he just couldn't figure it out as his mind was clouded by worries about Sheryl.
