CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Chapter 338

Alyssa was puzzled for a moment before she went back to Amelia's place.

It was time for dinner and the restaurant was full of people.

Alyssa returned to the dining table and sat down. She turned her head and through the crowd, she

could see the private room that Emmett had entered.

When Emmett said that he was eating outside, she thought he was already out with Xavier. After all,

other than some business dinners, the one with whom Emmett went out to dine frequently was Xavier.

However, it turned out that Emmett had just arrived.

However, if Emmett had asked Xavier to have dinner with him, Xavier would definitely have arrived

early.

Then, who was Emmett waiting for?

Not long after, a familiar person walked into the restaurant. Alyssa's eyes followed him. When she saw

that he was heading towards the direction of the room where Emmett had just entered, she could not

help but reveal a surprised expression.

The hall was separated from the private rooms, and the rooms were quieter.

"You seem to be a little absent-minded. What are you looking at?" Amelia, who was sitting opposite her,

turned her head to follow Alyssa’s line of sight and saw George enter a private room.

Amelia's face was full of excitement but she was very careful and whispered, "Isn't that George

Lawrence? Your ex-husband's father!"

"Yes." Alyssa replied casually and her thoughts flew far away.

Did Emmett make an appointment with George?

These two people were now incompatible with each other, so why would they invite each other out for a

meal now?

Could it be that the "rumor" was really released by Emmett? So George was here to negotiate with

Emmett?

There were a lot of questions wondered in Alyssa’s mind but she could not get answer of any of them.

"You know what? I really want to inform the reporters now." Amelia shook her head after she said that.

"Even if I did inform the reporters, no one would dare to interview your ex-husband's father."

"What ex-husband's father? Don't talk about it so strangely." The main thing was that it sounded

awkward.

Amelia didn’t say anything and looked at Alyssa without blinking.

"What's wrong?" Alyssa was stunned for a moment, "If you really like to call him that, it's not a

problem."

Amelia suddenly said, "To be honest, I don't really believe that you and Emmett are really divorced."

"What?" Alyssa blinked, "Really? You look like you know Emmett very well."

"Feels like that! Do you understand? It's just that some people are very pleasing to the eye. They don't

seem to be the kind of people who would be bad people and they won’t interfere in other’s

relationships. Emmett seems to be the kind of person who won't change after falling in love with

someone and will stick to one woman his entire life. I suspect that you guys aren't getting a divorce,

but... "

Amelia suddenly paused when she said this and looked up at Alyssa.

Alyssa was a little uncomfortable being looked at by Amelia. She raised her eyebrows and asked,

“What is it?"

Amelia enunciated every word that followed. "You dumped him!"

"Cough." Alyssa choked on the water she had just drunk. "Can you not finish it at a time?"

Amelia widened her eyes, "Did you really dump him?"

She was just casually saying it. Could it be that she had guessed correctly?

If it was true, then it would be a breaking news!

"You still need to take a plane tomorrow. If you have finished your meal, go back home and take a

sleep. If you continue to gossip like this, you might as well just be a paparazzi."

"If I become a paparazzi, I'll follow you every day to dig up your scandals!"

Alyssa, "…”

Just as the two of them finished their meal, Amelia left as she received a call from her assistant.

Alyssa had been paying attention to the direction of Emmett's private room but she did not see him

come over.

Should she go and check?

Alyssa hesitated again and again but she still decided to go over and take a look.

"One, two, three…"

Alyssa had counted when she came over from behind Emmett. It was the sixth private room.

She stood at the door of the room and leaned against the wall beside the door frame. Just as she was

about to eavesdrop, she saw a waiter come over. She quickly took out her phone and pretended to be

making a call.

She held the phone by her ear while keeping an eye on whether anyone was coming from the other

end.

The waiter went to a private room to deliver things and then walked away.

When there was no one in the corridor, she put away her phone. Just as she was about to put her ear

on the door to eavesdrop again, she heard a creak - the door was opened from the inside.

Alyssa's body stiffened. Before she could see who it was, she felt a big hand pressing on her shoulder.

Then she was pushed to the side by the person.

With a bang, the door of the room was closed.

She turned her head and saw Emmett staring at her with a gloomy expression.

Alyssa felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so she decided to say something first.

She asked guiltily in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"

Emmett did not say anything. He grabbed her hand and walked towards the elevator at the end of the

corridor.

His steps were big and he walked very fast. Alyssa could not keep up with him at all. It was like she

was dragged away by him.

Emmett's expression was not good. His entire body emitted a dangerous aura. Alyssa smelt the danger

and did not dare to speak.

Emmett directly brought Alyssa to his exclusive room in Golden Fountain Club before letting go of her

hand.

Alyssa rubbed her aching wrist. Before she could speak, she heard Emmett's deep voice as he asked

her, "What are you doing there?"

Emmett’s expression was terrifying. He looked like he could swallow her alive if she said something

wrong. So Alyssa hurriedly said, "I came here to have dinner with Amelia.”

Emmett's expression suddenly turned cold. "I am asking you why you are at the door of the private

room. What are you planning to do?"

Alyssa lowered her head and muttered slowly, "When I was having dinner, I saw you and your father

enter the room one after another. So I…"

The word "your father" in Alyssa's words angered Emmett. He interrupted her with a malicious

expression. "Your father?"

His voice was frightening.

Alyssa quickly changed her words and said. "George...."

When she first "married" Emmett, George had come to look for her once.

George asked her to have dinner with him. During the meal, he talked a lot about Emmett and was very

concerned about him.

At that time, she only felt that George was a distant person. As a father, he might have his own

difficulties.

But the series of events that followed completely overturned her thoughts.

In terms of family and affection, Alyssa was undoubtedly a soft-hearted person.

Otherwise, she would have left the Moore family earlier instead of enduring the miseries for so many

years.

Regarding the matter of George having an illegitimate child, Alyssa felt that it was not an unforgivable

crime. The premise was that what they said about Dylan's background was the truth.

Emmett lowered his head and saw that Alyssa was looking at him with a look of fear that he would get

angry. A trace of helplessness flashed across his eyes as he shook his head, "If you meet George in

the future, take a detour."

His voice was a little gentler, but his tone was very serious.

"Okay." Alyssa replied perfunctorily and then asked, "What are you talking about with him?"

"It's just some personal stuff." Emmett replied. He turned around and sat on the sofa.

He lowered his eyes and folded his legs. It seemed like he didn't want to talk more about it.

Whenever this man was unwilling to tell her anything, he would show this kind of expression. Alyssa

knew him very well about this.

Alyssa walked over and sat beside him. "What's the matter with the 'rumors'? Did you get people to

spread it?"

Although he did not want to talk about it, she could still ask some questions.

"No." Indeed, he did not let anyone spread the ‘rumor’. He just sent a private email to a media reporter.
