It turned out that once you made the wrong choice, everything that followed would be wrong.

No matter how hard he tried afterward, he could not catch up.

He was now paying for that mistake, and the price was his happiness for the rest of his life.

Brian walked into the house, and a beautiful figure appeared in front of him. “Brian, you’re back.”

Brian looked at the woman in front of him. She looked like a young Grace. He had met her in a nightclub. He heard that the woman was going to sell herself.

He did not want a woman who looked like Grace to end up there, so he asked her to work as his secretary while he was abroad.

Perhaps he had the idea of using this woman as a substitute for Grace. However, after spending time with Grace today, he realized that a substitute was only a substitute. She could not replace Grace.

Despite the resemblance, he could not treat her like Grace. He did not even have… the slightest bit of affection for her.

“What are you doing in Deer City? Didn’t I ask you to continue your studies abroad?” Brian asked indifferently.

“I just missed you so much that I came to see you,” Whitney Cooper said sweetly.

She was worried that the crown prince of the entertainment industry would meet another beautiful woman and forget her when she was abroad. Hence, she went out of her way to come to Deer City in secret.

Whitney Cooper knew she could stay with Brian as a private secretary because she resembled the woman he liked.

People who had been around the crown prince for a long time had warned her not to have any wishful thinking. They said the crown prince was only taking pity on her and told her not to have any funny ideas.

They said, “Young Master Hart has never lacked women, but there’s only one person he truly loved.

Everyone else is just a substitute, including you.”

‘Substitute?’

How could Whitney Cooper be content to only be a substitute?

She finally jumped out of the hell hole and became a stunning secretary by getting on Brian’s good side. If Young Master Hart abandoned her, she would be beaten back to her old self again!

She must never go back to her old life of misery!

She wanted Brian unable to leave her and transfer all his affection to her.

She knew that Brian loved Grace, who was now the mistress of Reed group.

Although there was pitifully little information about that woman online, it was not non-existent. Besides that, she had also secretly bought some photos of Grace taken by the media. She learned Grace’s style, from her hairstyle to her dressing.

Her resemblance to Grace was her biggest asset right now, and she was going to take advantage of it.

Brian said nothing when she did this. Instead, he would sometimes look at her in a trance.

She secretly rejoiced at this, thinking she was doing the right. thing.

Brian said coldly, “I told you, you’re only my secretary and nothing more. I don’t need you to miss me. If you find being a secretary boring, you can quit. Our contract can be annulled. You can leave at any time you want.”

Whitney Cooper was startled. She quickly looked down and said timidly, “I… I know my place. I won’t have any inappropriate ideas. It’s just that… you saved me from that hell hole, so I only want to repay you, Mr. Hart. I know my presence here won’t necessarily help you with the project here, but I want to learn and expand my knowledge.”

Whitney Cooper said as she looked up at Brian with those bright almond-shaped eyes of hers.

She had done her research, so she knew what angle to pose and what look she should show in her eyes to look more like Grace.

As expected, Brian’s expression changed slightly. “Go look for Secretary Guan and see if he has anything for you to do. Also, this is my private residence. Don’t come here without my orders.”

“Yes, I understand, Mr. Hart,” Whitney Cooper said as her eyelashes quivered slightly. She hid the scheming look in her eyes.

She was still young anyway. She had plenty of time.

Sooner or later, she would make Brian fall in love with her!

After Whitney Cooper left, Brian sat back on the couch a little tiredly and raised his hand to cover his eyes, blocking out the light in the room.

“Grace…” he murmured the word.

What replied to him was an endless sense of loneliness.

In the hotel room, Grace told Jason about her investigation in Deer City in the past few days.

“Amber Mitchell is too pitiful if she was really sent to a mental hospital against her will,” said Grace.

There was no difference between being in a mental hospital and being in prison.

“So? Are you going to help her get out of there?” Jason asked.

“Yeah, Kyla wants to do that too,” she said. Even if Kyla did not ask her for help, she would have wanted to help the poor woman Amber Mitchell all the same.

Now that she knew, she could not just sit back and do nothing.

Grace voluntarily ‘confessed’ that she had lunch with Brian at Whitney Herrera’s request.

“I only wanted to investigate what had happened to Amber Mitchell and Herman Moss. That’s all I talked about with Brian.” Grace added in the end.

“What’s the matter? Are you afraid I’ll be jealous?” He looked at her nonchalantly.

“What about you? Will you be jealous?” Grace asked in reply.

“That depends on whether you want me to be jealous,” he said. His voice was cold, but it made people blush and their heartbeat quicken.

Grace’s face could not help turning red. She quickly changed the subject and said, “By the way, let’s pick up Jasper and Mick. It’ll get dark if we delay anymore.”

The two got up and got dressed. They left their hotel room and went to the Barlow family’s house.

At the Barlow family’s house, Jasper was teaching William how to fold paper frogs in high spirits.

This time, Jasper had brought a lot of colorful papers that she thought were beautiful. She planned to fold a lot of beautiful paper frogs with William.

Mick Reed watched the scene with boredom. He could not figure out why folding a couple of paper frogs was so fun, but seemed to want to fold hundreds or even thousands of them.

What confused him more was that William folded the paper frogs with keen interest. It was as if it was a happy thing to be able to fold paper frogs with Jasper.

‘Happy?’ Mick Reed thought putting together puzzles was more interesting.

Everyone in the Barlow family watched the two little ones fold paper frogs with great interest. Old Madam Shen, in particular, had her eyes fixed on her grandson and the Reed family’s daughter. They were adorable, sitting at the coffee table with their little heads huddled together. They looked like a perfect match.

Besides, in Old Madam Shen’s opinion, the Barlow and Reed families were an equal match. Therefore, it would not be a bad idea if her grandson ended up the Reed family’s daughter.

The old madam looked at Jasper as though she was looking at her future granddaughter-in-law.

When Grace and Jason reached the Barlow family’s house, there was already a pile of paper frogs in the living room.

“Mommy, look. William and I have folded so many paper frogs. I’m going to teach William how to fold stars later. Then, we can put the frogs and the stars into a glass bottle. It’ll be beautiful,” Jasper said excitedly.

“It’s getting late now, so why don’t we go back to the hotel and come back tomorrow to see William?”

Grace said.

When Jasper heard they were going back, her expression sank. “Can’t I play with William for a little longer?”

Grace was about to speak when Philip Barlow said first, “Why don’t you guys stay and have dinner with us tonight? Let me be the host since you’re in my city.”

Hearing this, Jasper immediately nodded her small head, pulled at Grace’s sleeve, and said, “Mommy, why don’t we have dinner here? Otherwise, Uncle Barlow will be sad if he can’t… uh…

host.”
