Chapter 20
CEO's Substitute Bride
Alyssa went through all the articles one and one including some pictures uploaded by the netizens.
She tried to think about it in an optimistic way. She didnât have a Weibo account. Otherwise, she would
receive tons of scolding from these angry netizens.
She looked at these articles again and again. Even under the thick foundation, one could see her
flushed face and dark eyes.
Looking at those insulting words, it was impossible not to get angry. After everything that had
happened, and after everything she had done, she was not going to stand still anymore.
She took out her phone and called Skylar.
After a long time, Skylar picked up the phone.
âWhy do you call me now? Is there anything wrong?â Skylarâs voice was gentle and calm, as if she
didnât know anything on the internet.
Alyssa sneered. A part of her really wanted to let go of the act she had put and teach them all a lesson.
But it wouldnât be interesting if she acted smart now. It would be better if she acted slowly and better to
play a long game.
Alyssa smiled coldly and subdued her anger. She tried to make her voice sound normal.
âDo you know the trending topic on Weibo? And the news on other social media platforms?â Alyssa had
just checked it out. It was not only in the Weibo but also in various other platforms.
The public was very happy to see this kind of drama between wealthy families. Every day there would
be news about the scandals of successful people. Now this type of drama had happened. The media
would definitely not let it go.
Skylar said nonchalantly, âWhat news? I am very busy at work. Before my brother comes back from
studying abroad, I have to help Dad manage the company. Iâm not like you. You can watch the
entertainment news in your spare time. But Iâve far better works to do. So I canât gossip with you.â
Although she was saying in a certain careless attitude, she was just showing her superiority.
Although she was saying in a certain careless attitude, she was just showing her superiority.
After graduating from university, Skylar joined the Moore Group as a manager. As the eldest daughter
of Moore family, it was expected of her to take such a high position.
However, after Alyssa graduated, she didnât get the opportunity. She even took the initiative to ask her
mother Aurora that she wanted to start working at the Moore Group. But Aurora threw her resume and
refused directly, âYou are not as capable as your sister. Do you think you can help if you go to the
company? Go find a job directly.â
As for Jason, he never cared about her studies and work.
Thinking of this, Alyssaâs anger escaladed up. Suddenly she let go of her disguise. Her voice was very
cold and stern.
âDonât pretend. I know it was you. I donât know what you are up to but even if you want to throw mud at
me, itâs useless now. Iâve married into Lawrences. Even if they despise me, they will not allow anyone
to ruin my reputation. Because I am the wife of Emmett Lawrence!â
Skylarâs expression changed when she heard these words.
In her impression, Alyssa had always been a stupid woman who always nodding and agreeing to
whatever they ordered her to do. However, ever since she married into Lawrence family, she suddenly
became less stupid. There was something different about her.
Although she Skylar didnât know why Alyssa had become a little smarter, this didnât count anything to
her.
Because she knew Alyssaâs weak nerve.
âWell, itâs okay if you not care about me but what about Aurora? Donât you care about her as well?â
Skylar smiled confidently.
In the past, every time Skylar wanted Alyssa to do something, she would tell Aurora. As long as Aurora
entered the conversation, Alyssa would back off. It was always been like this.
Therefore, Skylar knew that Alyssa cared about Aurora the most.
When Alyssa heard that, she clenched her phone tightly. She pursed her lips and said indifferently,
âAurora? I donât care.â
After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
Did she really think that sheâd be back down again?
However, just as she put down her phone, Alyssa felt that someone was looking at her.
She looked around and found that the door was wide open. A man was leaning against the doorframe
with his arms crossed over his chest.
It didnât take her a second to recognize who that man was. Because the man was none other than
âJustinâ!
âHow did you get in my room?â Alyssaâs face turned pale. She clearly remembered that she had locked
the door before she went to sleep!
Then how did he get into her room?
Emmett shook the key in his hand. He looked up at her and said carelessly, âWhat do you think?â
Alyssa could not help but blush, âGet out!â
How could he have the key to her room?
