However, Brian interrupted her before she finished speaking, “But you’re not her!”
In the beginning, he kept her by his side partly because he did not want someone who looked like Grace to end up being a prostitute. It was also because he wanted to use her as a substitute.
However, he realized that he was only fooling himself when he saw Grace again in Deer City.
Having this so-called substitute was just him fooling himself and trying to escape.
Brian got up and walked to the entrance.
Whitney Cooper rushed forward and hugged Brian. “Brian, don’t go! I was wrong. I won’t go look for Grace again. Please forgive me! I’m content as long as I stay by your side!”
“Even if I have nothing?” he asked coldly.
“How could you have nothing? You’re the crown prince of the entertainment industry and the heir of Hart Group!” Whitney Cooper said.
Brian looked coldly at the person in front of him and pulled her away from his side. “The woman I want to love will never be someone like you. It’s my fault for making you my private secretary back then, so I won’t take back what I’ve given you. But I won’t give you anything more!”
With that said, he left the house without hesitation. He left Whitney Cooper standing blankly alone.
Having stayed by his side and listened to people whisper things about him made her clear how ruthless he was about feelings.
His previous girlfriends had all begged him hard, but he still broke up with them.
She was not even his girlfriend.
What would she do in the future if she could not stay by Brian’s side? What could someone with an average education and no professional skills like her do?
Whitney Cooper was filled with fear and… hatred.
‘Grace must have told on me. Otherwise, how would Brian have known?!
‘It’s all Grace’s fault! I’ll make Grace pay one day!’
The fact that the three members of the Mitchell family were detained by the police as suspects had gone viral.
Louise Mitchell was waiting for her in-laws to bring their grandson back to Deer City. As soon as her in-
laws returned, George Gregory would be forced to do something even if he did not want to.
However, she did not expect to find a divorce lawyer in the detention center.
“He… wants to divorce me?” Louise Mitchell asked in disbelief.
“Yes, this is the divorce agreement. Mr. Gregory has already signed it. It’ll come into effect once you sign it and go through the standard procedures. You two have a prenuptial agreement, so there’s nothing to argue about. We’ll follow the agreement. Mr. Gregory wants custody of the child. Miss Mitchell, it’ll be difficult for you to obtain custody even if you go to court due to your current situation.”
The lawyer spoke about the details of the divorce formally.
Louise Mitchell did not want to listen to him and was boiling in anger.
George Gregory had chosen to divorce her. How could he do that? She even willingly handed over most of Mitchell Group’s profits.
However, he tossed her these divorce papers and kicked her aside as soon as the Mitchell family was in trouble.
“I want to see George Gregory. Tell him to see me, or I’ll never sign the divorce papers!” Louise Mitchell said bitterly. With that said, Louise Mitchell left the meeting room with the staff nearby without waiting for an answer from the lawyer.
When the lawyer told George Gregory what Louise Mitchell had said, George Gregory spoke as if he had predicted it, “What else did she say?”
“That’s all. She only said she wants to see you, and she won’t sign the agreement if she doesn’t,” the lawyer replied.
“Okay, got it. You can go out first,” he said.
The lawyer left the study. Old Madam Gregory came in and asked worriedly, “Do you really want to divorce Louise Mitchell?”
“Yes,” George Gregory said without hesitation.
“Although what happened to her is embarrassing, she’s still Simon’s mother. If you two divorce, Simon-“
After all, the elderly like her wanted the family to be complete.
“I want a divorce all the more just because she’s Simon’s mother. That way, I’ll get Simon’s custody. If I let her continue living with Simon, her evilness will affect Simon sooner or later,” said George Gregory.
Old Madam Gregory sighed. When they came back, their son talked about getting a divorce and said that Louise Mitchell had cut off Amber Mitchell’s finger.
Old Madam Gregory was shocked to hear this. She did not expect her daughter-in-law to seem modest and sensible but was actually such a ruthless person. She could even do such a thing to her own sister.
How scheming.
“Besides, Mom, do you wish to live with such a person?” George Gregory asked again.
Old Madam Gregory thought for a moment before sighing. “Then tell me, do you want to divorce Louise Mitchell purely just because of what she did or because her actions hurt Amber Mitchell? If she had hurt someone else, would you still be asking for a divorce?”
George Gregory pressed his thin lips together tightly. “No, I’m not divorcing her because of Amber Mitchell. What happened between me and Amber Mitchell is in the past. I don’t want to remember it since it’s in the past.”
Yes, it was in the past.
His words were meant for himself more than his mother.
He kept telling himself to stop thinking about Amber Mitchell. Even if he still had feelings for the woman, he should take all of them back!
Grace was returning to Emerald City, and Amber Mitchell came to the airport to see her off.
However, Grace did not expect Brian to see her off too.
“Whitney Cooper must have caused you some trouble by coming to see you previously,” said Brian.
“Not really. I was just a little surprised. I didn’t expect her to be your private secretary.” Grace looked at Brian and said, “I know I have no right to say anything about your private affairs, but if the only reason you hired her as your private secretary is to find a substitute, then… you’re just stressing yourself out.”
She said, not wanting the man to be stuck in the past.
Brian smiled with a hint of bitterness. “I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t find any more substitutes. That person is no longer my private secretary.”
No matter how much that person looked like her, she was not her!
“You fired her?” Grace said with some surprise.
“I just couldn’t bear to see her working in a nightclub back then, so I let her work as a private secretary for a while. Even though I’ve fired her, she can live a fairly comfortable life with the things I’ve given her as long as she behaves herself.”
Grace looked at the time. It was almost time to board the plane.
“Alright, I should board the plane now.”
“Alright, safe trip!” said Amber Mitchell.
Brian gazed at Grace as if he was unwilling to say goodbye.
He was about to watch this woman leave again. He seemed to keep watching her leave him.
“Goodbye,” Grace said to Brian.
Brian pressed his lips together and held out his right hand. He did not want to say goodbye to her, but he was content with shaking her hand as a goodbye.
Grace held out her hand.
Their hands clasped together. Brian looked blankly at their linked hands and felt the warmth coming from her hand.
At that moment, he seemed to recall his childhood when she held his hand tightly on the hill to keep him from falling off the cliff.
