CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 449

Henry had undoubtedly given Alyssa a difficult problem.

Relationship was always the clearest thing.

Alyssa thought for a moment and said, "Henry, think about it from another angle. If I were with you now and Emmett were on your behalf, would you want me to continue to be friends with him?"

The smile on Henry's face disappeared like a tide.

He could no longer maintain his elegant demeanor. His expression became somewhat gloomy.

His throat rolled twice. He raised his head slightly to look at the dark night. His voice became somewhat hoarse. "I really envy Emmett."

Alyssa did not continue this topic with him. She once again passed the suit jacket to him, "Thank you for tonight."

Henry did not say anything more. He only reached out and took the suit jacket from Alyssa.

Seeing Henry take the jacket, Alyssa turned around and walked to the other side.

Henry looked at Alyssa's back and took a deep breath. He turned around and walked in the opposite direction from Alyssa.

When Alyssa returned home, she was exhausted.

There were too many traffic lights on the way back. When she arrived home, it was already late at night.

She dragged her tired body to the bathroom and came out after taking a bath. She thought that she could sleep very quickly, but she had an unprecedented insomnia.

When people were tired, it was easy for them to become pessimistic.

In the past twenty years, she had spent almost all of them in ups and downs.

Marriage, career, love, kinship...

So far, none of them had been perfect.

Alyssa went through the night. She woke up early the next morning and asked Hazel to pick a car with her.

Although she did not compare herself with rich people like Emmett, she would be considered to have a small fortune now. If she bought a car, it would be convenient for her to travel.

After choosing the car, Alyssa drove straight to Emmett's house.

At this time, Emmett should not be at home. She just went to see Angela.

However, when she arrived at Emmett's villa, she found that Emmett was also at home.

Alyssa later realized that today was not a working day but a weekend.

She stood at the entrance of the hall and looked at the man who was lazily sitting on the sofa. For a moment, she was at a loss.

She looked around and did not see Angela. She walked over and asked him, "Where is Angela?"

Emmett acted as if he did not see her and completely ignored her.

Emmett seemed to be very powerful, but he was actually very petty in private.

Alyssa thought that he was unhappy with what happened yesterday.

She sat next to Emmett and turned her head to look at him. "I have something to do. Of course I have to send Angela to you. After all, you are her father."

She did not feel that she was wrong about this.

She loved Angela and was willing to give up everything for Angela, but it did not mean that she had to sacrifice her career as a prerequisite.

She must give herself priority over Angela.

She also had to plan for her own life. She had to be Alyssa first and then be Angela's mother. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Emmett sneered and stood up. "Well, you and your first love meet again. He is much more important than your daughter."

Alyssa was stunned for a few seconds. She suddenly stood up. "What do you mean?"

Emmett threw a newspaper on the coffee table in front of her. "The popular screenwriter of ‘Lost City’ reunited with her first love and rekindled the past. Miss Moore, how do you feel about this headline?"

Miss Moore. . .

He looked very unfamiliar with her, and it seemed that he was especially angry.

Alyssa looked at him and reached out to pick up the newspaper.

On the front of the newspaper was a picture. In the picture, Henry was draping his coat over her when she was surrounded by reporters last night.

When Henry put her clothes on, she looked up at him in surprise.

In this article, some sensational words, such as affectionate, involuntary and so on, were used to interpret the way Alyssa looked at Henry.

Alyssa roughly skimmed through the content and found that the person who wrote this report had put in a lot of effort.

The report also mentioned the past that Skylar once claimed that Alyssa had stole her fiancé.

The matter of her replacing Skylar to marry into the Lawrence family was not a secret. As long as someone had the heart, they could probe into it and find out.

She had liked Henry before, but not everyone knew about it.

Alyssa's circle of friends was originally very narrow. Other than Skylar who would be so bored to tell the media about this matter, who else would be so bored?

Skylar was really all-pervasive.

She did make every efforts to hurt Alyssa.

She would not give up any chance to give Alyssa a chance to look for trouble.

When Alyssa was reading the report, Emmett was looking at her.

He saw Alyssa first frown, but soon her expression became natural and she was not in a hurry to explain.

Emmett's expression became a bit more serious, and a dark and ruthless aura appeared between his brows.

He did not know why, but he kept feeling as if something was about to rush out of his chest.

He could not hold it in any longer.

After Alyssa finished reading the report, she turned to look at Emmett.

In the end, she turned her head and saw Emmett's gloomy face.

Alyssa could not help but shiver.

She put the report back and pursed her lips. "Don't you know that some media reports nowadays just know how to stir up trouble? Do you believe whatever they write?"

Alyssa smiled. "To my surprise, Young Master Lawrence is so naive."

She said "Young Master Lawrence" one by one. When Emmett heard her, he felt that it was very harsh. His expression was naturally not good.

Alyssa did not want to be outdone and looked at him.

Suddenly, Emmett reached out and pinched her chin. "Alyssa, do you think that just became I allowed you to appear around me, you can do whatever you want? You think too highly of yourself."

The force in his hand was a little heavy. Alyssa felt a trace of pain, but she only frowned and did not say anything.

Emmett saw this and the force in his hand became heavier. "You are not going to speak?"

Alyssa pointed at his hand that was pinching her chin, indicating that she was in so much pain that she could not speak.

Emmett frowned and shook his hand away.

The moment he let go, Alyssa reached out to touch her chin. She had just thought that Emmett wanted

to crush her chin directly.

Emmett coldly looked at her, as she was biting her lips and taking a deep breath. He turned his head to the side.

At this time, Alyssa explained to him, "I did like Henry in the past, but. . ."

Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Emmett coldly. "Shut up. I don't want to hear it anymore. You can leave now."

Her first sentence was so unpleasant that he did not want to hear the rest of it.

He didn't want to hear the story of this woman and the other men.

“I. . .”

Of course, Alyssa would not listen to Emmett and leave just like that. However, as soon as she opened her mouth, Emmett dragged her out violently.
