CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Not that expensive? She blinked. Even she didn’t need to be a car enthusiast to know how rare this car

was. Back when she was still a student, she’d see rich kids driving up to the school gate to impress their

classmates. Alyssa had seen plenty of sports cars and Bentleys, but not like this.

This must’ve been really expensive.

“The production of this car stopped a few years ago.” Emmett glanced at her and said.

“I just…”

“If you want, flatter me and I can consider giving it to you.”

When he saw Alyssa’s face changed, he realized the implication of his words.

If he was Emmett, it would be understandable for him to give the car to her. But it would be inappropriate

for ‘Justin’ to say it to her. He turned the other way, unsure of what to say next.

They were silent the entire ride.

As soon as they reached the company, Alyssa turned towards him. “Thank you.”

Although her voice was polite, there was a deep sense of alienation. ‘He’s Emmett’s cousin,’ she told

herself the entire ride as if the thought was enough to erase her softness towards him.

Just as she had closed the door and turned around, she bumped into Skylar.

Glancing at the black Bentley behind her, Skylar’s face darkened in disdain and ridicule. “You really got

along with Emmett’s cousin, don’t you? He’s even picking you up every day. Careful, if anyone else were

to see, you’d look like a couple.”

“We’re family, so it’s normal for us to get along well…but then again, that might not be something that

you’re used to.” Alyssa took a few steps forward to approach Skylar. She lowered her voice to a whisper

that only they could hear, “After all, I personally don’t dabble in places like Sky Light Club. Instead of

worrying about me, I’d say the same goes for you.”

At her words, Skylar’s expression stiffened, but she quickly regained her composure. “I don’t know what

you’re talking about.”

“All I’m saying is that you shouldn’t be going to places like Sky Light Club.” Alyssa stepped back, smiling

brightly at her. But even her gentle face couldn’t hide her threatening voice. “After all, Dad wouldn’t like

that.”

Although Jason didn’t love her, he still found some use with her. She was Emmett’s wife, so she was still

of great use. If her father knew what Skylar had done, he’d surely turn against her.

They both understood that well enough.

However, Skylar wasn’t threatened that easily. “And who’ll believe you?”

“Alyssa, do you get off work at the same time? I’ll come pick you up.”

Suddenly, Justin’s voice reverberated from the roadside. Alyssa turned back and stared at him blankly.

Although her face was impassive, her eyes held panic and accusations to the man in the driver’s seat.

However, Emmett acted as if he didn’t understand her. Instead, he stayed where he was and simply

gazed in her direction, not bothering to leave until he heard her answer.

Was he truly that stubborn?

“Yes.” She nodded.

“Hm.” He shot Skylar a glare before driving off.

Skylar shivered in fear. However, at the sight of the Bentley, even she couldn’t hide the greed in her face.

If she had known that Emmett had such an outstanding cousin, she would’ve easily married into the

Lawrence family. Perhaps “Justin” would be the one sending her to work every day.

Remembering the black card Alyssa had taken out that day in Golden Fountain Club, Skylar’s hands

clenched into fists. If she was the one who had been given that card, her life would’ve already been set!

She should be the one marrying into the Lawrence family!

Alyssa turned her head and saw Skylar greedily eyeing “Justin’s” car.

She curled her lips in mockery. “Does big sister regret giving her fiancé to me now?” She plastered a

sweet smile on her face. “But it’s useless for you to regret. Even if Emmett is willing to divorce me, he

wouldn’t marry you even if you’re the last woman in the world.”

Although Skylar’s scandals had already died down, her reputation was already ruined. Even if Emmett

was a cripple, it would be weird for the Lawrence family to accept someone like her.

Skylar’s expression turned ugly after her thought was disclosed by Alyssa.

But her expression quickly returned to normal. She brushed her hair and said proudly. “Please, I don’t

want to marry a cripple like Emmett.”

What she wanted was “Justin”.

If they were together, Skylar’s life would be filled with endless possibilities.

Alyssa was nothing more than a country bumpkin. So what if she was beautiful? In terms of satisfying

and dealing with men, she couldn’t hold a candle towards her!

Although Alyssa couldn’t guess Skylar’s thoughts, she could tell that the woman was thinking about

hooking up with “Justin”.

‘It’s like flirting with a lunatic. There’s no use talking to her.’ Alyssa thought.

However, she wasn’t going to stand by and let this bitch talk about her husband that way. Skylar could

say all she wants to her, but not to him!

“So what if Emmett’s a cripple? You’re not any better even if you have two working legs! I suggest you

think twice before speaking against my husband.” Not knowing how else to vent her anger, Alyssa

fiercely stepped on Skylar’s foot before walking into the company.

“You slut!” Skylar screamed, chasing after her.

At that time, Emmett, who should have left long ago, expressionlessly stepped out behind a large pillar

from the side, staring at their retreating figures.
