CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

When Alyssa went out for lunch, the moment she walked out of the Moo’s building, she saw Emmett

leaning against the car not far away.

He was wearing a black suit with a white shirt without a tie. The two buttons on the collar were

unbuttoned, making him look a bit unruly.

Alyssa subconsciously stopped.

Emmett looked over at her. He straightened his body and did not say anything. He only focused on

looking in her direction.

What he meant was that he wanted her to hurry over.

Alyssa pursed her lips and lifted her chin slightly. She walked towards him.

After Alyssa walked closer, she crossed her arms. Her expression was undisciplined, “Is there anything

that CEO Lawrence wants from me?”

Although her tone was casual, she was a little nervous.

This was the first time Alyssa confronted Emmett directly after “Justin” admitted that he was Emmett.

When she faced Emmett, she was afraid of him most of the time. It was a kind of fear in human nature

towards the strong.

When Emmett heard that, he frowned slightly. “What did you call me?”

“The president of Nine Clouds Media.” Alyssa smiled coldly. “Thank you for thinking highly of me.

Thank you for sending me an interview invitation.”

Emmett narrowed his eyes. His expression was cold. There was no obvious emotion on his face. There

was only a hint of displeasure in his deep voice. “Who told you?”

“What does it matter who told me?” Alyssa’s expression was cold. She raised her eyebrows. “Since you

chose to hide it, you will definitely be discovered one day.”

Emmett did not show any signs of getting angry when he heard her words. He said calmly, “So? What

do you want?”

His confident manner made Alyssa speechless.

What could she do?

Even if Emmett lied to her, she could not do anything to him.

However, it was as if a thorn had pierced her heart, making it impossible for her to act as if nothing had

happened and get along with him.

She might have been impulsive about what happened last night, but she did not regret it.

Alyssa pursed her lips and turned to leave.

Emmett stared at her back for a few seconds and casually followed her.

The two of them entered the restaurant one after the other.

Once Alyssa sat down, Emmett also sat down.

Alyssa said angrily, “Why did you follow me?”

Emmett’s eyes showed a bit of seriousness. “You did not answer the question I asked you just now.

What do you want to do to me?”

“What can I do to you?”

“You can do whatever you want.”

Alyssa was confused by Emmett. They were both very old. They were adults, but they were arguing

like two children.

“I want you to stay away from me.” She was annoyed to see Emmett now.

She felt stupid sitting in front of him.

From beginning to end, everything about her had been controlled by Emmett.

Her every move, everything about her was very clear to him.

But she did not know anything about Emmett.

When Emmett pretended to be Justin, even if she liked him a little, she could still be calm because of

the brother-in-law and sister-in-law relationship between the two of them.

However, when she found out that he was actually Emmett, her feelings for him grew stronger and

stronger. After their relationship was made public, she started to want a balance between the two of

them.

“Oh.” Emmett indifferently replied. “I can’t do that.”

“You.”

Alyssa thought for a while and asked tentatively, “Why do you have to force my grandfather to return to

the country?”

Emmett suddenly raised his head to look at her. His ink-like eyes were deep and dark.

Alyssa was annoyed by his gaze. She could not help but touch the cup of water in front of her.

At this moment, Emmett’s thin lips parted and he spat out a sentence. “Take a guess.”

Alyssa was stunned for a moment and then smiled. Her bright eyes bent slightly as if she did not care

about his answer. “Oh.”

Take a guess. It meant that he did not want to tell her.

Emmett treated her well. Maybe it was because she was his wife, or maybe it was because he was

interested in her, or maybe it was because she was from the Moore family.

At this moment, Alyssa suddenly understood. The reason Emmett fulfilled his engagement to Skylar

was because Skylar was a member of the Moore family.

It was not that the Lawrence family did not care about what kind of woman Emmett married. It was

because Emmett did not care who he married. As long as she was the daughter of the Moore family, he

didn’t care if it was Skylar or Alyssa.

The sudden depression made Alyssa lose her appetite.

When the dishes were served, she ate a few mouthfuls and put down her chopsticks.

Emmett looked at her and picked up some food for her. His voice was low and calm. “It was hard on

you last night. Eat more.”

Alyssa’s face suddenly turned red. “I don’t want to eat. I have no appetite!”

“Is it because you didn’t rest well?” Emmett asked seriously. “Then you can go home and rest in the

afternoon. You don’t have a good time working in the Moore Group anyway.”

Alyssa was slightly startled.

Few people cared whether she was happy or not.

Emmett was really good to her.

Some people said that the land of tenderness was the grave of heroes. However, Alyssa felt that a man

like Emmett, when he was trying to be good to a woman, was also poisonous to women.

After the two of them finished their meal, they went out and met Skylar.

It could only be said that the two of them would meet people who had grudges.

Skylar smiled meaningfully. “The two of you are really close. Mr. Lawrence often comes to find you to

eat together. Does my brother-in-law know?”

Emmett narrowed his eyes. He said something very shocking. “Of course, I can’t let my cousin know

about this kind of thing.”

Alyssa quietly reached out her hand and pinched the back of Emmett’s hand. She reminded him not to

speak randomly.

Emmett’s expression did not change as he grabbed her hand. “Sister-in-law, I will leave first. I will come

to pick you up tonight.”

Alyssa did not speak. The expression on her face seemed to be saying, “Scram.”

But Emmett did not leave after he finished speaking.

Alyssa was about to ask him why he did not leave when Emmett suddenly lowered his head and

approached her. “Sister-in-law, are you not going to kiss me goodbye?”

Alyssa was very shocked.

After Emmett said this, he kissed Alyssa in front of Skylar and then left with a smile on his face.

Alyssa looked at Emmett’s smile and was so angry that she wanted to hit him.

Although Skylar’s private life was very messy, she never would have thought that Alyssa and “Justin”

would be so unscrupulous. They did not hide it in public.

“Alyssa, you are simply…” Skylar could not think of any words to insult Alyssa in such a short period of

time. After a few seconds, she said, “You are shameless!”

Alyssa was wearing a small high heels today. Even if Skylar was wearing high heels, she was still a

little shorter than her. Alyssa was more imposing than her.

Alyssa looked at her with her head down and said lightly, “Less than you.”
