The Substitute Bride

Several young female employees of Cloud Advertising Company were Helin's fans and they were upset to know that their idol quit the show business.

On the other hand, Sheryl felt glad for Helin upon hearing the news. 'The wayward girl finally grew up, ' she thought.

She was about to return to her office when she heard some noises coming from the exit.

It was only through the TV that Helin's crazy fans watched her press conference. The situation was so different now that the star was standing before her fans face to face. They swarmed towards their icon and screamed, "Miss He, I really like you! May I get your signature?"

"Me too."

Surrounded by people, Helin gave a subtle smile and started signing autographs. Then she politely said, "Excuse me, may I leave now? I have something for Sheryl."

The employees instantly cleared the actress' way upon hearing their lady boss' name. Meanwhile, Sheryl was smiling broadly while watching Helin walk towards her. She waited for the lady to reach where she was before asking, "What are you doing here?"

Helin seemed to have turned into someone else. She looked tamed and less aggressive. She was oozing with elegance and mildness.

She glanced at Sheryl and asked, "May I have a word with you?"

"Sure. Follow me," Sheryl agreed instantly. She led Helin to her office. As the latter settled herself on the couch, she poured a glass of water and handed it to her visitor. She then took a seat, looked at Helin, and said, "I just watched the news about you. I didn't expect that you stop since you're at the peak of your career. I feel sorry for you."

She made a slight pause and then continued, "I don't think that this is a good idea if you're just doing this because of Roger." She observed the star's facial expression after she said those things. She badly wanted to know what was in Helin's mind.

With a slight smile though, Helin replied, "No. I did this for myself."

She glanced at Sheryl and then looked away. There was a tinge of sadness in her eyes when she said calmly, "I... I already let go of Roger. I will never do this for him. He doesn't deserve this." Pensive, she explained, "It's just that my

e approached one of her employees and asked her to keep an eye on the charity party. She then left her subordinates and looked for Charles. However, it was to her surprise that Holley and George were invited here too!

She instantly froze for a moment upon seeing the couple and then walked past them.

She was already some steps away when Holley suddenly called her attention and greeted, "Long time no see, Sheryl!"

Sheryl paused a while. Then she turned and shot Holley a scornful look. She responded, "Save it. I'd rather not see you for the rest of my life."

Holley didn't feel embarrassed about her reaction at all. With a subtle smile, she said, "What happened before is just a mistake. I know you are a kind girl. Please don't get mad at me."

That made Sheryl throw the woman a sidelong glance and ridicule, "Would you forgive me if I hurt you and apologized to you absently?"

"You..." That was it. Holley finally lost her mask and furiously glared at her. Exasperated, she narrowed her eyes at Sheryl and went on, "I already made an apology to you. What else do you want me to do?"

"I want you to stay away from me," Sheryl replied coldly. "I'm not the type of person who messes with others. But if someone tries to hurt me, I will not let him or her go easily. If you continue to pester me, I will make you pay a price."

"Oh? What are you gonna do?" Holley countered with interest. Watching Sheryl flared up, she felt excited.
