CEO's Substitute Bride

There was a public bathroom next to the milk tea shop.

Alyssa carried her bag and walked in. Just as she closed the door of the cubicle, she heard a car stop on the road in front of the restroom.

Following that was a series of footsteps.

There was also a familiar sound.

"If the news is true, Mrs. Lawrence should be here."

This voice belonged to Frank. Alyssa had heard it many times, so she naturally recognized it.

However, after hearing Frank's words, Alyssa's heart also rose.

Listening to the meaning in his words, Emmett also came?

In the next moment, she heard Emmett's familiar indifferent voice, "Go in and search."

Only a day had passed after she burned down the villa. But now when she heard Emmett's voice again, it made her feel as if it was a lifetime ago.

Alyssa leaned against the door of the toilet compartment. She nervously listened to their footsteps as they left. Only then did she immediately go to the toilet and run out.

As soon as she came out, she saw the familiar Bentley parked on the side of the road.

She turned her head and looked to the other side. She found that Emmett and Amelia had bumped into each other.

Amelia was facing Alyssa and Emmett's group had their backs to Alyssa, so they did not see Alyssa.

Amelia saw Alyssa and her eyes flashed.

Alyssa put a finger to her lips and made a "shh" gesture. Then she hid behind the car.

She heard Emmett ask Amelia, "Have you seen Alyssa?"

Amelia glanced at the place where Alyssa had just stood. She crossed her arms and looked at Emmett provocatively. "Why should I tell you that?”

Emmett sneered. "Although I don't have the habit of hitting women, it doesn't mean that I won’t hit you."

Amelia's expression changed slightly when she heard him.

"You!" she said snappily, "I have not seen Alyssa. She is not my wife. Why should I keep an eye on her?”

Alyssa hid behind the car and could not help but pray for Amelia in her heart.

Even from such a distance, Alyssa could feel the low pressure spreading by Emmett.

Emmett's voice was already somewhat gloomy. "Is that so?"

Alyssa poked her head out and saw Amelia with a pale face taking two steps back. Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Alyssa has already left. I also do not know where she went."

Luckily Alyssa had already guessed that Amelia could not hold on anymore. When Amelia opened her mouth, Alyssa already quickly went around the back of the car and jumped into a small alley.

By the time Emmett and the rest turned around, Alyssa's figure had already disappeared from the back of the car.

Emmett looked around and then said in a deep voice, "Find her."

Frank heard it and went to find Alyssa with his bodyguards.

The bodyguards left, leaving Emmett alone.

He could feel Alyssa around here.

In the morning, Xavier called him and said that someone sent a strange thing to Nine Clouds Media. The recipient wrote "ED" next to the receiver. They guessed that it was sent to Emmett.

Emmett went to the Nine Clouds Media to open the express delivery. He saw the box and a pen inside. Who else would send it to him other than Alyssa?

He had fought with Xavier yesterday and calmed down. He also thought that Alyssa could not be dead. She must have escaped rather than committing suicide.

However, he still felt worried if he did not see Alyssa in person.

Only when he saw the express delivery did Emmett's heart return to his chest.

Alyssa really ran away.

Not long after, Frank returned with his bodyguard.

"Mr. Lawrence." Frank walked up to Emmett. He saw the hope in Emmett’s eyes, but still said truthfully, "We did not find Mrs. Lawrence."

After saying that, he looked down not to see Emmett’s expression.

Emmett did not sleep all night. But he was energized when he received the express delivery in the morning.

He thought that he would definitely find Alyssa here, but when they arrived, they did not find her.

Not far away, Alyssa quietly turned around and left.

In this world, as long as you spared no efforts, finding a person or hiding from a person was very easy.

This was not a difficult matter.

Alyssa went to the bus station and just happened to catch the last bus to neighboring city.

After four hour ride, Alyssa sleepily arrived at the City.

When she got off the bus, it was already afternoon.

Alyssa first took the card Amelia gave her to get some money before looking for a place to eat.

The restaurant was still broadcasting news related to the Lawrence family.

"According to the news, yesterday Mrs. Lawrence set fire to the villa in Holston City. Until now, the body was not found and the villa was severely burned. Related people said that... Mrs. Lawrence might have died in the fire.”

Alyssa was a little surprised.

She was clearly still alive. But from the reports, it seemed that there was someone who guided the public opinion to the point of "her death in the fire.”

Could it be Emmett who did it?

Emmett knew what she was thinking, so he went along with the flow and asked the media to report in this direction.
