CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Chapter 302

Alyssa sat on the toilet in the room. She had a bad feeling when she heard someone knocking on the

door of the cubicle one by one.

Could it be Henry?

However, when she thought about Henry's personality, she felt that it could not be him.

Although Henry had changed a lot, his love for face hadn't changed.

Therefore, it definitely wouldn't be Henry.

Then who was it?

At this time, the person who knocked on the door one by one, had already been standing outside her

cubical, knocking on the door.

Knock knock knock!

This person knocked twice or thrice consecutively. She could feel the steady rhythm which gave away

the stable personality of the person who knocked.

Alyssa's heart skipped a beat.

She felt that it might be Emmett…

A person's sixth sense was such a strange thing.

They were clearly separated by a door. The two of them did not speak, nor could they see each other.

But Alyssa could confirm that the person outside was Emmett.

Alyssa pinched her nose and lowered her voice. "Who is it? I am not done yet."

The next moment, Emmett's slightly gloomy voice sounded from outside. "Do you need my help?"

It was really Emmett!

Alyssa patted her forehead.

How did Emmett find this place?

Could it be that he had installed a GPS tracking system on her?

Alyssa decided to struggle. "This is the women's restroom. Why did a man like you come in? If you

don't go out, I will call the police. I…"

Emmett interrupted her. "Come out yourself or I will kick the door. Choose one."

His tone was extremely cold. Alyssa shivered when she heard him.

Could she not choose either?

However, her body had already made a choice faster than her brain.

With a click, the door opened.

Emmett’s gloomy face appeared in Alyssa's line of sight.

He fixed his gaze on Alyssa. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her calmly.

Alyssa swallowed her saliva. She tried her best to sound as natural as possible, "Why are you here… It

is such a coincidence…"

"Alyssa." Emmett called her name in a deep voice.

Alyssa felt her scalp tighten. She quickly straightened her back and stood up straight. She looked like

she was ready for battle.

Emmett laughed out of extreme anger. "Do you know you are guilty now?"

Alyssa lowered her head and whispered, "I’ve always been guilty."

"Then why did you come to the banquet with that man?" Right now, Emmett did not even want to

mention Henry's name in front of Alyssa.

Alyssa had never attended a banquet with him, yet Henry actually asked her first.

This was not possible, even in his dreams!

"I have a reason." Alyssa tried to defend herself.

"What reason? Are you grateful that he helped you escape from the country?" Emmett sneered. "I was

already generous enough that I didn't destroy the Grants. Does he still want you to return his favor?"

Alyssa pursed her lips and said slowly. "Don't destroy other people's companies so easily for such a

matter…"

"You can accompany other men to the banquet. Why can't I destroy the Grant Group?" Emmett raised

his eyebrows and looked at her with an unfriendly tone.

It was obvious that he was angry and jealous.

It was rare for Emmett to be jealous like this. Alyssa felt it was a little strange, and she could not help

but want to laugh.

Emmett noticed her expression. He expressionlessly reached out and rubbed her head.

"My hair is messed up." Alyssa unhappily pushed his hand away.

Emmett was just focused on getting angry. Only now did he notice that Alyssa had specially done her

hair today.

Alyssa saw that Emmett narrowed his eyes again and quickly pulled him out. "Let's go out first. It’s too

strange to stay here all the time."

Emmett did not say much. He let her pull him out.

As soon as they went out, Alyssa saw that Henry was still there.

When Henry saw her come out, he called her, "Alyssa."

Alyssa smiled awkwardly.

Emmett directly ignored Henry's existence and looked at Alyssa. "I'll get someone to send you back."

Alyssa thought about the conversation she heard among the woman when she first entered the

banquet hall. She did not answer Emmett immediately.

Emmett did not let her accompany Henry to the banquet, but he himself came out to flirt with women,

causing a lot of attraction.

Besides, she had not met Emmett much during this period of time. It was not easy for her to meet him

openly. So how could she leave just like that?

Seeing Alyssa not answer for a long time, Emmett knew that she did not want to go back.

Emmett lowered his head and touched her face. He said in a low voice, "Be good."

Alyssa was a little annoyed. "I'm already here. It would be a waste of time to go back like this. Let me

stay to see what it is like here.”

Emmett frowned and did not say anything.

Alyssa had navar attandad a banquat with him, yat Hanry actually askad har first.

This was not possibla, avan in his draams!

"I hava a raason." Alyssa triad to dafand harsalf.

"What raason? Ara you grataful that ha halpad you ascapa from tha country?" Emmatt snaarad. "I was

alraady ganarous anough that I didn't dastroy tha Grants. Doas ha still want you to raturn his favor?"

Alyssa pursad har lips and said slowly. "Don't dastroy othar paopla's companias so aasily for such a

mattar…"

"You can accompany othar man to tha banquat. Why can't I dastroy tha Grant Group?" Emmatt raisad

his ayabrows and lookad at har with an unfriandly tona.

It was obvious that ha was angry and jaalous.

It was rara for Emmatt to ba jaalous lika this. Alyssa falt it was a littla stranga, and sha could not halp

but want to laugh.

Emmatt noticad har axprassion. Ha axprassionlassly raachad out and rubbad har haad.

"My hair is massad up." Alyssa unhappily pushad his hand away.

Emmatt was just focusad on gatting angry. Only now did ha notica that Alyssa had spacially dona har

hair today.

Alyssa saw that Emmatt narrowad his ayas again and quickly pullad him out. "Lat's go out first. It’s too

stranga to stay hara all tha tima."

Emmatt did not say much. Ha lat har pull him out.

As soon as thay want out, Alyssa saw that Hanry was still thara.

Whan Hanry saw har coma out, ha callad har, "Alyssa."

Alyssa smilad awkwardly.

Emmatt diractly ignorad Hanry's axistanca and lookad at Alyssa. "I'll gat somaona to sand you back."

Alyssa thought about tha convarsation sha haard among tha woman whan sha first antarad tha

banquat hall. Sha did not answar Emmatt immadiataly.

Emmatt did not lat har accompany Hanry to tha banquat, but ha himsalf cama out to flirt with woman,

causing a lot of attraction.

Basidas, sha had not mat Emmatt much during this pariod of tima. It was not aasy for har to maat him

opanly. So how could sha laava just lika that?

Saaing Alyssa not answar for a long tima, Emmatt knaw that sha did not want to go back.

Emmatt lowarad his haad and touchad har faca. Ha said in a low voica, "Ba good."

Alyssa was a littla annoyad. "I'm alraady hara. It would ba a wasta of tima to go back lika this. Lat ma

stay to saa what it is lika hara.”

Emmatt frownad and did not say anything.

Alyssa looked at him and turned around. She walked away from him and walked towards the banquet

hall.

Just now, Henry saw clearly how Emmett and Alyssa had interacted. At this moment, he was sizing up

Emmett with an unknown expression.

Previously, there was news from the media that Emmett and Alyssa had divorced.

He had seen Emmett's furious look after Alyssa ran away. So he did not believe that the two of them

had divorced.

From what he saw now, it seemed that his guess was right.

While Henry was sizing up Emmett, Emmett also turned back to look at him.

Emmett stared at him for a few seconds and said, "I think you are a smart person."

Henry's eyes flashed. "I don't know."

"Mr. Grant should know very well what he should say, what he shouldn't say, what he should touch, and

what he shouldn't touch."

Emmett's eyes didn't leave Henry's body when he spoke, so naturally, he didn't miss the slight change

in Henry's expression.

He gave a contemptuous laugh, then turned around and left.

A man like Henry wanted to steal his woman?

When Alyssa returned to the banquet hall, she saw Frank.

Frank came with Emmett. Since Emmett was not around, naturally there were many people who tried

to curry favor with Frank.

Frank was Emmett's right-hand man.

A woman happened to be asking Frank, "Does Mr. Lawrence have a new girlfriend recently?"

The woman was very direct. This was also a question that others wanted to know.

Frank was not an ordinary subordinate. He was a shrewd guy who had been tempered by Emmett.

"This is Mr. Lawrence’s private matter. I am not very clear about it."

After Frank finished speaking, he inadvertently raised his head and saw Alyssa.

Alyssa had just taken a glass of champagne from the waiter. When she saw Frank look over, she

nodded at him.

Frank was stunned for a moment. He did not expect to see Alyssa here.

No wonder Mr. Lawrence did not come back after going to the bathroom for so long. It was because

Mrs. Lawrence was also here.

A woman noticed Frank's gaze and naturally saw Alyssa.

The woman asked the person beside her. "Who is that woman?"

She felt that Alyssa looked a little familiar, but she could not remember where she had seen her before.

"Mr. Lawrence's ex-wife, Alyssa." The person next to her said, "But I heard that she used to be very

ugly. I guess she went for plastic surgery."
