CEO's Substitute Bride
Chapter 24
At the restaurant.
As soon as the two sisters faced each other, the atmosphere in the room had dropped a couple of degrees.
Skylar placed her bag on the table and raised her chin and spoke arrogantly to Alyssa, “Just say what you want to say. I can’t waste time with you. I have a date with Henry.”
She looked at her newly manicured fingers which reflected under the lights as she spoke.
She then looked at Alyssa. While she was dressed for the gala, her sister was dressed for the barn. It had been so many years, but her ugliness didn’t faded. This woman always looked same, the long dress, unhealthy and spotty skin, coupled with her thick-framed black glasses, ugly as a toad.
Such a woman wanted to compete with her for a man?
Only those fools on the internet would believe it.
Alyssa lowered her gaze and looked at the glass on her hand. She rubbed her hands on the glass and suppressed her anger to smash on Skylar’s face. Just as she looked up, she noticed a man holding a camera just came in and sat facing them.
“Let’s start.” Her lips curled up as she sent a message to that man.
She made sure that all her actions were well-thought of, not wanting Skylar to notice anything suspicious in the background. After all, her plan relied on the woman displaying her true colors, and that wouldn't happen if she was aware that someone was watching them.
Alyssa looked at Skylar and said very humbly. “I have already apologized in front of the public. Please don’t make things difficult for my mother.”
Her hands trembled, and her head was bowed. From an outsider's perspective, she looked like she was being bullied by her older sister, and that was the image she would like to portray. After all, it was the truth.
Skylar sneered not able to suspect anything. This woman was always been an idiot ever since she was born. How could she be smart and defeat her overnight? This was simply impossible.
Skylar’s eyes flashed with satisfaction and she laughed coldly.
“Okay. If you don’t want me to punish Aurora, I can do it. But on one condition.” Skylar crossed her arms and raised her chin as if she won.
“What condition?” Alyssa asked nervously.
“Why are you such an idiot? Aurora never cared about you and never regarded you as her daughter. Then why are you so concerned about her? You must be a whole new generation of stupid.”
Alyssa’s hands which were on her lap tightened up and her knuckles started to turn white. She said with a bitter tone. “No matter what happens, she's still my mother. Even if I knew that it was because of you that she begged me to get married to Emmett, I still agreed. Because she was my mother and I am her daughter.”
Thereafter, Alyssa became ugly and dumb. And she hated her even more.
Having someone stupid and ugly as her sister was already shameful enough!
But if anything, her sister was as obedient as a dog. Easily used and easily disposed.

Skylar smirked. She curled up her lips and said venomously, “You are just a bitch like your mother.”
How ironic!
Ridicule flashed through Alyssa’s eyes. The moment Aurora married into the Moore family twenty years ago, she made it her goal to treat Skylar like a princess, making sure that she had never felt uncomfortable with her at all. In the end, it seemed that her feelings and sincerity weren't reciprocated. It was just a waste of time.
Skylar just called her a bitch!
What was the use of all her hard word and efforts?
“You can insult me however you can but please don’t say that about my mother. She was genuinely good for you.” Alyssa said softly although she was hurt in her heart.
How could Skylar listen to Alyssa’s words? She slammed the table and yelled. “Shut up! You don’t have the right to teach me! Now the only thing you need to do is divorce Emmett.”
“Divorce?” Alyssa stared at her with her eyes wide open.
At this time, she was half genuine and half pretending. At least, her surprise was authentic.
Alyssa could predict what Skylar was thinking in her heart.
Although the Lawrence family didn't care as to who would marry Emmett, they definitely wouldn't stand it if one of them were to go back on their words. Alyssa was nothing more than an ugly and stupid woman who had stolen him from Skylar for the fame and fortune of the Lawrence family. Now, Skylar wanted for her to end things once and for all.
Even if she were to mention about divorce with Emmett, it would be an insult to him.
Lawrences would never forgive her! In fact, they'd do everything to make her life a living hell.
This move of Skylar was truly vicious. Now that she had drawn everyone's attention to Alyssa, she could simply stand on the sidelines. She wanted to make Alyssa be the target of Lawrences and let them vent their resentment and hatred on her. While she could live peacefully with Henry without any pressure of the society.
Incredible!
Skylar pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear, displaying a slight pink mark on her neck. “As long as you do this, I won't make things difficult for Aurora."
Although Alyssa was naive, she wasn't stupid.
The red mark was clearly a hickey.
Was she showing off?
Alyssa took a drink as she felt a lump in her throat.
She wasn’t sad that Skylar was with Henry. She was upset that the person she had been in love with was just like any other man.
“But the Lawrences will never agree to me divorcing Emmett.”
Even if it was a divorce, it could only be initiated by Emmett. She was a nobody in front of Lawrence family. She was very clear about her own place.
"That's your problem. My advice to you is to be an obedient dog. Otherwise, your mother will suffer the consequences.”
Skylar could not be bothered any more to say anything else with Alyssa. She took out a mirror to touch up her lipstick. Then she took out her phone and dialed a number and softly called out, “Henry.”
Alyssa’s expression froze, but her reaction made Skylar very satisfied.
Although the ugly woman posed no threat to her, it gave Skylar so much satisfaction to see her in such a pitiful state. she felt a sense of accomplishment when she saw Alyssa behaving like a dejected dog.
