CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Alyssa opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Emmett let go of her and said in a rare gentle voice, “You should take an afternoon nap.”

After she got pregnant, Alyssa had the habit of taking an afternoon nap. She did not sleep very long but

habitually needed to take a nap.

Her mind was a little confused, so she nodded. “Yes.”

She laid on the bed and closed her eyes, thinking that she would not be able to sleep, but in a short

while she fell asleep.

Seeing Alyssa fall asleep, Emmett tucked the corner of the blanket for her and got up to go out.

Emmett carefully closed the door and walked all the way to a date tree in the yard.

That was the tree his mother planted when he was very young. He did not remember exactly how old

he was at that time.

It was late winter. The date tree was bare without a single leaf. There was not even a single leaf under

the tree because there were maids cleaning the yard every day.

Footsteps came from behind him.

Then came Dylan’s voice. “People say that we are very close to each other, but they only see the

surface.”

The two of them are about the same height and size. Standing facing each other, they actually feel like

they are evenly matched.

Dylan smiled, and his tone was as gentle as usual. “For the sake of Alyssa, you wanted to terminate

the contract with me. You even did not hesitate to smear my reputation online. What closeness did we

have, huh?”

Emmett did not even blink. He was not moved at all. “For the sake of Skylar, you can even step on your

dignity. You are nothing more than this.”

You are nothing more than that.

This sentence fiercely impacted Dylan’s eardrums.

His expression instantly became very ferocious. “Why do you look down on me?”

Emmett still had the same expressionless face. “I do look down on you. If you really want to deal with

me, come straight at me. Don’t attack a woman, especially a pregnant woman.”

Skylar drove to Alyssa because she was instigated by Dylan.

It was because of this incident that he completely angered Emmett.

“Also, I don’t need to smear your name at all. Who do you think you are after you left the Nine Clouds

Media? You are just Dylan. Who knows how those people will deal with you?”

There was no disdain in Emmett’s tone, but Dylan could feel his disdain.

Dylan clenched his fists and suppressed his anger. “Uncle told me to go to the Lawrence Group!”

Emmett replied lightly, “Up to you.”

After he finished speaking, he looked down at the time.

Alyssa usually took an afternoon nap from forty minutes to an hour. If he smoked a cigarette now and

went back, she would almost wake up.

Emmett took out the cigarette case and lit a cigarette as if there was no one else around.

Seeing Emmett completely ignored him, Dylan did not want to embarrass himself here. He gave

Emmett a deep look and then turned to leave.

Emmett had become quiet since he was a teenager because of his mother. It was hard for others to get

close to him. Later on, because of Justin, Dylan gradually got closer to Emmett.

Later, it was Emmett who started a film company. He joined the Nine Clouds and their relationship

became closer.

Ten years ago, Dylan was only eighteen years old.

Even though he had been a good boy since he was young, at that age, most of them were rebellious.

That was why he had entered the entertainment industry behind his family’s backs.

In the beginning, he did not have much hope, nor did he have any ulterior motives. He did not love that

industry. At that time, he did not think that Emmett could bring glory to Nine Clouds Media.

But there were many things in life that could not be predicted.

It was just like how he did not want to enter the entertainment circle in the beginning, but he had stayed

in this industry for ten years.

And after ten years, the Nine Clouds Media became the leader of the entertainment industry.

Ten years had also made his relationship with Emmett become solid.

If…

There were no ifs in this world…

At this time, Dylan had already walked to the door of his room.

He pushed the door open and locked the door behind him. He walked straight to the safe and took out

the key to open it.

Inside were two DNA test reports.

He curled his lips, and the curve of his lips was very cold.

He took out the two DNA test reports and walked into the bathroom. He lit the two DNA test reports

with a lighter in front of the sink.

He looked at the two DNA test reports that could throw him into the hell burned to ashes. He

expressionlessly turned on the tap and let the water wash away the black ash.

Life was really boring.

For example, he had lived seriously for 28 years. In the end, it was just a joke.

…

Emmett only took two sips of his cigarette before extinguishing it.

He looked in the direction where Dylan had disappeared, then turned around and walked back.

He inadvertently saw a figure swaying beside a bush of evergreen plants.

Emmett strode over and saw Justin, who was preparing to run away secretly.

“You still want to run?” Emmett narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

Justin quickly turned back and smiled. “Cousin.”

“Why are you hiding here?”

“I didn’t do anything.”

“What?”

One suspicious look from Emmett forced the truth out from Emmett.

“I saw you and my brother here when I passed away. And then…” He couldn’t help but eavesdrop.

From the conversation between Emmett and Dylan, Justin could tell that the two of them had

completely broken off.

Justin was a little sad. He whispered, “Why did you and my brother become like this? Weren’t you two

guys fine before?”

Emmett did not want to care about Justin’s question. However, when he saw Justin’s sad face, his eyes

flashed, and he still said, “You have to ask your brother about this.”

Justin looked at him in confusion. He knew some of the things on the Internet, but he could not figure it

out.

Emmett found him very annoying.

But he still patiently explained to him, “Alyssa going to the trending search with him was all arranged by

Dylan. Later on, when she was scolded as a mistress, it was also arranged by him.”

During that time, Justin went to Dylan’s place. He had seen these things on the Internet. At that time,

he even joked about Alyssa being with his brother.

“Why did he do that?”

“You have to ask him.”

Emmett did not tell Justin that Dylan had instigated Skylar to crash into Alyssa.

Justin was still young. Although he was annoying, he was the kind child whom Emmett had watched

grow up.

Emmett let out an almost inaudible sigh and patted Justin’s head. “Go back to your room. It’s cold

outside.”

He took two steps forward and was stopped by Justin. “Cousin.”

He turned around and saw Justin frowning. “He went to the hospital several times before he had a

serious scandal with Alyssa, but he did not fall ill during that time. He seemed to be investigating

something.”

Emmett’s expression turned cold and he nodded.
