CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Chapter 279

The boy used brute force and Alyssa was unable to break free.

She looked up at him and coldly said, "Let go of me!"

Alyssa had a pair of beautiful cat eyes. When she smiled, she looked exceptionally fascinating. But

when she was angry and looked at people, people would feel the coldness penetrating into their bones.

The boy who pulled her was still young after’ all. When he was being looked at coldly by Alyssa, the

strength in his hands involuntarily relaxed.

Alyssa took the opportunity to pull her hand back and quickly took two steps back. She looked at him

with vigilance.

The boy was probably angered by his reaction just now and scolded. “Bitch!”

As he spoke, he reached out to grab Alyssa again.

A trace of panic flashed across Alyssa's face. At this time, however, a strong man suddenly jumped out

from nowhere. He walked directly in front of her and the boy and separated them.

The man punched out and directly flipped tire boy onto the ground.

"Bang!"

The boy fiercely fell onto the ground, hugging his stomach in pain until he could not make a sound.

Alyssa was stunned by the dramatic scene in front of her’. The man who had just blocked in front of her

turned around and asked her with concern, "Madam, are you okay?"

The man spoke Mandarin.

Alyssa then realized that the man who had just helped her was from China. He looked average but his

body was strong. He was a martial arts practitioner’.

His martial arts skills were very strong. She had just seen his actions just now.

Alyssa's face was full of gratitude. "I'm fine. Thank you. My name is Alyssa Moore. What is your

name?"

The man seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "I was just passing by. Yorr don't need to

take it to heart."

The man finished. He turned around and left.

Alyssa looked at his back for a few seconds. She felt that he was a little strange, but when she thought

about what just happened, she did not dare to stay any longer and left in a hurry.

Perhaps in this world, there was indeed someone who did a good deed and did not wish to leave his

name.

Alyssa went to tire city center to find a five-star hotel to stay in.

She booked a room for three days and decided to stay first before thinking about what would happen

next.

She probably would not stay at the place where she stayed before, but she still had to go back and get

her things.

And her due date was almost up. She couldn't stay in such a remote hotel anymore. If something like

that happened again, she might not have that kind of good luck again.

Alyssa quickly found an apartment near the hospital online. Coincidentally, the owner of the apartment

was from China and had to go to other places due to work reasons. So they decided to rent the

apartment and only rented it to people from China.

The location of the apartment was not bad. It was convenient for transportation and had all the

furniture. She could rent it for a long time or a short time.

Alyssa tried to call the owner of the apartment.

After the call was picked up, Alyssa said tentatively, "Hello, I saw the news you posted online..."

The owner might be an impatient person. She did not wait for her to finish before she interrupted her.

"Yes, my house is to be rented out. My ticket is for the night, I'm going out of town. If you want to check

out the house, come over now."

Other’ than the video with Amelia and tire phone call with Hazel, Alyssa had not spoken Mandarin to

anyone in real life for a long time.

"Okay, I will come over right away."

Alyssa hung up tire phone and confirmed the address before taking a taxi over.

The apartment was located in a busy area. The two of them met at the door. Alyssa did not have

anything to worry about in a public place.

The owner was a middle-aged woman. The difference between her and the woman in the phone was

that she was very gentle.

When tire middle-aged woman saw her, she said directly, "Let's go take a look at the apartment first. It's

a single apartment. It has all tire necessary furniture. Let's see how long you want to stay."

After the owner said that, she walked in front and led the way.

Alyssa followed behind her and said, "I might not be able to stay for long."

"That doesn't matter. Anyway, I just want to rent it to the people of China to make it convenient for my

own people."

"You are really a good person."

The owner smiled and didn't say anything else.

The two of them soon arrived at tire apartment.

The room was well organized and decorated. It was similar to tire photos Alyssa had seen on the

Internet. There was no discrepancy. It looked even more spacious than in the photos.

Furthermore, the rent of tire apartment was not expensive.

Alyssa looked around tire room and heard tire owner ask her, "Do you think it's okay?"

"I think it is good." Alyssa smiled.

"Then do you want to rent it? I can give it to you right now and..."

Without waiting for the owner to finish speaking, Alyssa shook her head apologetically and said, "Thank

you for your good intentions. This house is very good but it is not suitable for me."

After Alyssa finished speaking, she hurried out.

The owner was surprised, "Hey, what's wrong?"

Alyssa walked out of the apartment and tire expression on her face faded.

When she called tire owner, she did not mention that she was pregnant.

When tire owner saw her, not only did she not ask anything, she did not even have an expression of

surprise.

What did this mean?

This meant that tire landlord had the ability to predict the future? Did she know that her tenant was a

pregnant woman with a big belly?

No, this only meant that the owner had known that a pregnant woman would want to rent such a house.

On the other words, someone had instructed the owner to let Alyssa rent the house.

And this “someone” who had ordered this happened to know that Alyssa would need a new apartment

right now.

However, she did not tell anyone she knew about what happened in the past two days.

Moreover, the area where she was looking for a house was also near the hotel where she was staying.

It was close to tire hospital.

There were many people who knew that she was pregnant and wanted to give birth, but how many

people knew that she was staying in a hotel right now?

Unless the person who arranged this behind the scenes had been sending people to keep an eye on

her.

The results of this analysis made Alyssa apprehensive.

Who else could it be other than Emmett?

This middle-aged woman who wanted to rent her house was not a coincidence. What about the man

who helped her previously? Was it a coincidence?

Alyssa's mind was in a mess.

For the past few months, Alyssa had tried her best to forget about Emmett. Other than occasionally

going online to search for news related to Emmett, Emmett was almost completely unrelated to her life.

However, at this moment, Alyssa realized that she was thinking too simply.

Emmett...

What was he trying to do?

Did he send people to observe her every move, or did he finally do something because she was about

to give birth and he wanted a child?

Alyssa felt that the possibility of the latter was very high.

Emmett was arrogant and domineering. If he really wanted to find her back, he would not allow her to

stay outside for so long.

And he happened to make a move at this time. Apart from the child, what else could he want at such a

coincidental time?

A smart person like Emmett would not do something without a purpose.

Alyssa pursed her lips tightly and made a decision. She would never let Emmett bring this child away

from her and take him back to Lawrence family.

Chapter 415 Get Ready

Her entire body began to shake violently. This eerie scene gave Serina goose bumps.

Ainsley was slightly dazed. Why was Serina's description the same as what Ainsley saw when Ainsley

was absent-minded in Wolf Market? Unless Serina had experienced all of this before.

"Serina, calm down. What is in front of you is not blood, but a glass of ordinary water. Look carefully,

there is no color..."

While Ainsley was thinking about this, she did not forget to treat Serina.

But before Ainsley could speak again, the phone was suddenly cut off.

In the room, Manuel turned off the phone with lingering fear. His fingers trembled slightly, and he was

shaking.

He was afraid that Ainsley would ask something in Serina's subconscious, and he was really afraid that

Ainsley would guess something.

Ainsley did not suspect that Manuel had turned off the phone, and only thought that the battery had

died.

When Ainsley wanted to enter the room, Manuel just walked out.

"What happened?"

"My phone ran out of battery. I'm sorry, Serina has fallen asleep. I saw that she was sleeping soundly,

so I didn't wake her up," Manuel said resentfully.

Ainsley nodded. "I see. Then let her sleep. I have to go back, Mr. Gage."

Manuel wanted to keep Ainsley, but when he opened his mouth, he found that there was no reason to

keep her.

"Then, shall I drive you home?" He looked at Ainsley expectantly. Ainsley did not refuse. She got into

Manuel's car.

After sending her to the Easton house, Manuel turned around and left alone. Ainsley waved her hand

and turned around with a solemn expression. What Serina said tonight was not simple. This was

exactly what she saw. Manuel must be hiding something.

But what exactly did he want to hide?

Did Manuel not want Ainsley to completely cure Serina?

Once the idea appeared, it would take root in her brain and be difficult to remove, but she could not

figure it out.

When Ainsley returned to the room, she took out those suspicious things again, whether it was photos

or bracelets.

These things had told her a terrible fact. Her speculation and doubts had long been explained.

The one who was unwilling to face the truth was Ainsley, and she was also the one who wanted to find

out the truth.

She put these things back into the cabinet and lay on the bed in a daze. Was she really ready to face

everything?

The next day, Roman and Manuel stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Just a moment ago, the

Wade Group issued a notice.

"Wait. We have to wait."

"What are we waiting for?" Roman stared at the sky outside the 20th floor.

Manuel raised the wine glass high. He did not drink it but poured it into the trash can. His gaze became

more and more determined. "Waiting for an opportunity. An opportunity that will come soon."

An opportunity? Roman looked at Manuel in confusion. In order to overthrow the Wade Group, they

had put in too much effort and waited for too long. Just as they were about to succeed, the Hume

family came into play-

Was the Hume family powerful? It was not as powerful as the Gage family in Seattle, but nationally, the

Gage family could not compare to the Hume family.

"What is Brady trying to do?" Roman was getting more and more confused about the Wade family's

thoughts, and their actions made people dumbfounded.

First, they issued a statement to clarify the conflict with the Gage family, and then they sent a high-

profile invitation to Manuel about Irene's 25th birthday.

Since the last engagement banquet was canceled, Irene rarely appeared on such a major occasion.

This time, it was a high-profile invitation. It smelled a bit of conspiracy in Seattle, but who would dare

not go after receiving the Wade Group's invitation?

Even if the Gage Group might not go, who could be like the Gage Group and not care about anything?

The Wade Group was like a lion. Even if they did not open their mouths, people still cared about their

sharp fangs.

Manuel placed the glass heavily on the table and said coldly, "They just want people to see it. Even the

Gage Group has to give a response."

"Are we going to attend Irene's birthday banquet?" Whether Manuel attended or not would attract a lot

of attention.

"Yes, of course." However, Manuel was not going alone. He wanted to take a person with him.

He wanted to take Ainsley with him. Although he knew that the other party might refuse, Manuel still

wanted to give it a try.

On the second day of the Wade Group’s announcement, hundreds of invitations were sent to the

various aristocratic families in Seattle, including the Baldry family, the Packer family, even the Nelson

family, and the Barnett family...

The Wade Group booked the entire Fog Isle Hotel. Irene's birthday banquet was held in the biggest

dining hall. Even the red wine at the banquet was especially taken out from Brady's cellar. Of course,

this news was released by some magazines. The authenticity was not much.

In addition to this explosive news, an even bigger piece of news went viral. Ainsley's criminal

psychology thesis played a great role after it was connected to the police system. It could actually help

the police predict criminal activity.

It was also because of this thesis that Ainsley was invited to a lot of authoritative interviews. People's

understanding of psychology was constantly explored, but very few people analyzed it to prevent

criminal cases. Ainsley did it, and the results she made were enough to cause a stir.

Even the University of Washington was boiling with excitement. Raymond and Cody held an

emergency meeting and decided to give Ainsley a special prize.

Looking at Ainsley, who spoke with confidence on the TV, Cason's hands were intertwined. He smiled

calmly and dressed appropriately. On such a big occasion, he still felt that she was at ease.

The more Cason learned, the more he felt that he had misunderstood Ainsley too deeply. The biggest

mistake he had made was thinking that Ainsley was just a housewife.

Cason had watched this interview eight times, capturing the look in Ainsley's eyes as she spoke, and

the curve of her lips. He even wanted to take a screenshot of all these interview clips and put them in a

special photo album.

In the empty study room, no one knew that he was secretly watching the same interview.

Kaliyah coaxed her kid to sleep and walked out of the study room. She pressed her ear against the

door of the room, and she could hear some words.

"Ms. Easton's thesis gave us a very good direction. Perhaps there will be more scholars following your

study."

Following that was Ainsley's voice. "I believe that there will be scholars who are more outstanding than

I am, and who will develop a more perfect prediction system than I did. The future is in our hands. If

what I did can guide a portion of the people to put the research direction to this level, I feel very

honored..."

Even if she did not see this interview, Kaliyah could still imagine the manner of Ainsley when she said

these words. Ainsley must be in high spirits.

Kaliyah left with a bitter smile. She did not expect that Cason would lock himself in the study room for

the entire afternoon today just to watch Ainsley's interview.

Kaliyah clenched her hands in jealousy, but she could not do anything.
