All Chapters of Mr. Edward's Substitute Bride : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

"And is there not a way for her not to be fired?" Amelia asked Mr Benson after some minutes of silence. "What?" Mr Benson asked Amelia, as he couldn't believe that she was asking if there was a way not to fire the same person who endangered her life and tried to ruin her career and her chances of winning the competition. Even Cindy, who was crying, was also taken aback by Amelia's question. ___________________________ Yes, I asked if there's a way not to get her fired. I know that she did something very wrong, but we all deserve a second chance, don't we?" Amelia asked Mr Benson, who sighed heavily before looking at Cindy, who still had her head bowed in embarrassment. Looking at her, Mr Benson couldn't even understand why Cindy would hate on someone like Amelia; not only was she a selfless and friendly lady, but she's also the one asking for her not to be fired despite what she had done to her. "Well, I'm sorry, Mrs Jones, but there's no way around that. The information has alrea

After driving for some minutes, Edward pulled over in front of one of the most luxurious restaurants in New York City, and with that, he got down from the car, and before Amelia could even open the door of the car to get down, he had already walked towards the door of the passenger seat and opened the door for her to get down."Thank you," Amelia said to him with a warm smile as she got down from the car, and with that, Edward closed the door before turning towards her."Let me guess, this is your favourite restaurant, right?" Amelia asked Edward as he turned towards her."Well, you can say that. Let's go," Edward said to Amelia as he walked ahead of her, and with that, Amelia quickly followed him from behind, but to Amelia's greatest surprise, he didn't follow from the main entrance of the restaurant; instead, he followed another route different from the main entrance."Isn't that the entrance of the restaurant?" Amelia asked Edward, who immediately stopped and turned towards her."Y

"Ma'am, please, you have to believe me, I did everything possible to get her eliminated," Cindy's teary voice resounded from Claudia's office."Well, I don't think you did everything in your power, Cindy, because if you did everything in your power, Amelia could have been the one who got dismissed and not you," Claudia said to Cindy, who was kneeling before her while crying."Ma'am, please, you have to believe me. I swear to God, I did everything," Cindy said to Claudia, who sighed heavily before standing up from the desk where she was sitting."Well, I don't care, Cindy; we had a deal, and since you weren't able to keep your part of the deal, I don't think I have to keep to mine either," Claudia said to Cindy before walking back to her chair and sitting down."What? You mean you aren't going to pay for my mother's surgery just as you had promised?" Cindy asked Claudia with a panicked tone."No, of course, Cindy, why the hell should I pay for your mother's surgery? This is a modelling

Once Cindy left, Edward smiled inwardly before putting the document he was holding in the bag he came with, and with that he took the bag and was about to leave when his phone suddenly started ringing. Bringing out the phone from his pocket and checking the caller ID, he smiled inwardly once again before picking up the call and placing the phone on his ear.________________________"Hello Mr Yates, "How are you doing?" Edward asked after picking up the call."I'm doing good; what about you?" Mr Yates's voice sounded through the phone."I'm doing good too, so how may I help you?" Edward asked him through the phone."Well, I don't need your help this time around; I just wanted to invite you over for dinner this evening," Mr Yates said to Edward."Well, thanks for the invitation, but I don't think that I can make it. I still have many things on my schedule today," Edward said to him."Well, at this stage, I have to admit that your mother knows you so well, because you have just repeated

"How dare you humiliate me before Mr Yates, his daughter and all those maids?" Teresa growled angrily at Edward as she slapped him across the face, and with that Ben gasped in shock, as this was his first time seeing someone raising his or her hand on his boss.__________________________Feeling the metallic taste of blood in his mouth, Edward raised his head and looked at his mother with a wicked smirk hovering over his face as he wondered all the possible means he was going to use to deal with anyone who dared raise his or her hand on him.If not for the fact that Teresa was his mum, then he would have surely made sure that this would be the last time she made use of that hand of hers, talk less of using it to slap him.Teresa, on the other hand, seeing that Edward was still smiling even after she slapped him, raised her hand and made to slap him, but immediately Edward caught her hand and pushed her away."Do you have a death wish, or is it because I allowed you to hit me the first
