CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 268

Holston City was an international metropolis. It was considered a big city in the country.

For ordinary people, finding a person in Holston City was no different than finding a needle in a haystack.

However, Emmett was different. He had power and influence, and he did not lack manpower and financial resources.

If he wanted to find Alyssa, it would be piece of cake for him.

She could not use her phone or stay in a hotel.

So she could only find a small hotel that was not very formal and did not even need to register her identity card.

The hotel was damp and dark, the white bedsheets on the bed were white and yellow, and the bathroom was full of dark stains.

Alyssa did not take off her clothes and just laid on the bed.

The soundproofing of the room was almost zero. Outside, there was the noise of pedestrians talking and the sound of various cars.

It was the first night Alyssa left Emmett. She could not fell asleep.

When she was so dizzy that she was about to fall asleep, she always had the feeling that Emmett would bring people in the next second. After that, she maintained this half-asleep state until dawn.

Poor sleeping was even more tiring than not sleeping.

What was worse was that there was no hot water in the bathroom in the morning.

Alyssa gritted her teeth and washed her face with cold water. She packed her things and left.

She could not stay in the same place for too long.

She knew very well what kind of person Emmett was.

After leaving the hotel, Alyssa went straight to the bus station.

This area was close to the suburbs. It was originally a small town near Holston City. Later on, the Holston City expanded and the small town merged with the city. However, there had never been much planning and construction here, so many things were not proper.

There was a bus station not far from the hotel. There was no need to show her ID when buying tickets there. She had already learned about it when she came here yesterday.


Alyssa stood on the side of the road and waited for the traffic light. Behind her, a hand suddenly reached out and patted her shoulder. Someone called out uncertainly, "Alyssa?"

Alyssa's entire body stiffened. Could it be that she was going to be captured by Emmett so quickly?

The person who patted her shoulder walked up to her and slightly tilted his head to look at her. She said with a face full of surprise, "It really is you!"

Alyssa saw the person in front of her clearly and was also stunned. "Amelia, why are you here?"

The last time Amelia left, other than Alyssa contacting her in the middle, this was the first time the two of them met.

Alyssa's current situation was complicated. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Amelia for a few seconds before looking around vigilantly.

Emmett's villa was burnt to the ground by a big fire. Amelia naturally knew about this when the news was reported.

Seeing Alyssa's vigilant expression, Amelia slightly raised her chin and looked somewhat arrogant. But she still explained, "Recently, the production crew has been preparing for a new drama. I also came over to take a look and see how the scenery is like."

In the production team, the producer had the most say. All of the matters were under the producer's control.

"If you don't have anything else to do, I'll be leaving first." Alyssa felt that it was not a good thing to meet Amelia at this time.

But Amelia pulled her back, "Let's find a place to sit down and chat. You promised to give me your script, but you haven’t sent it to me yet.”

Alyssa directly rejected, "I don't have time."

Amelia was silent for a few seconds and said, "You do not need to be afraid that I will leak your whereabouts. I am not that gossipy."

Alyssa thought about it and still nodded.

There was no decent cafe nearby, so the two of them could only find a milk tea shop.

Amelia ordered two cups of hot milk tea and pushed one cup to Alyssa.

"Thank you." Alyssa put the straw to her lips and took a sip.

Amelia looked at Alyssa seriously for a few seconds. "To my surprise, you don't look embarrassed at all. There have been many incidents in Lawrence family during this period of time. The storm that has caused the entire city is related to you."

Alyssa raised her head to look at her, "Are you very disappointed?"

Amelia smiled indifferently. "A little. Show me the script."

Alyssa heard her and immediately turned on the computer and passed it to Amelia.

Alyssa wrote a detective story, with an element of romance.

This type of script had a large market in the country.

Amelia's father was the head of the television station. She had been in contact with big shots and famous directors since she was young. Under their influence, she naturally had professional insight.

She first casually scrolled through the entire section of the mouse and then started reading the first section.

With a look, she couldn't stop, even her eyes were shining.

Alyssa knew that Amelia had taken a fancy to her script.

She reached out her hand and closed the laptop to bring it to her.

Amelia anxiously stood up, "Hey, let me finish!"

Alyssa placed her hand on the laptop and said calmly, "I am in an urgent need of money. How much can you pay for it?”

Amelia stretched out a hand, "500,000."

Alyssa just wanted to test it out. She did not expect Amelia to actually give a price.
