CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 301

It took Alyssa a few seconds to understand what Henry meant.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" She turned to look at Henry with a cold expression.

Henry smiled, looking quite innocent. "I also didn’t know until now.”

Alyssa laughed. How could she believe what he said?

She turned around and looked at the entrance of the banquet hall. Emmett was not there.

After Emmett officially took over the Lawrence Group, he would attend many events and dinner parties.

However, the banquet and events he attended were all very high-end. That’s why, Alyssa had never thought that Emmett would also attend the banquet that Henry attended.

On the other hand, the Grant family and Lawrence family did not have any business dealings with each other, so they rarely got involved.

Therefore, she never thought that Emmett would come to this banquet.

She now felt that Henry did it on purpose.

"You are my female companion now. Your mission tonight is to be with me." The smile on Henry's face deepened. He even withdrew his arm and signaled Alyssa to follow him.

Alyssa's emotions were a little complicated.

If Emmett came and found out that she and Henry were attending the banquet together, he would definitely be very angry.

He might beat Henry up.

Alyssa thought about it and decided that it would be better to turn herself in first.

Taking two steps forward, Alyssa reached out her hand to protect her stomach. "My stomach hurts a little. I need to go to the bathroom."

Henry stopped and looked at her with a faint smile.

After Alyssa finished speaking, she also felt that these words sounded a little familiar.

At the beginning of the year, she had thrown Henry away at the airport and left the country alone. She had used the same tactic at that time.


Alyssa was also a little embarrassed. She explained very sincerely, "This time, my stomach really hurts."

She thought about it and made up a random reason. "My stomach is not good. These two days I have eaten a little messy and have a little diarrhea."

Henry nodded and said, "I will go with you."

This man was really...

Alyssa let out a breath and let Henry accompany her to the bathroom.

After Alyssa went into the woman's room, she hid in the cubicle and called Emmett.

The phone rang twice and was picked up.

"Alyssa."

Emmett's voice was low and cold as always. When he answered her phone, he was used to saying her name directly. But after a long time, Alyssa actually felt that the way he called her name was especially intimate.

Alyssa organized her words and asked, "Are you going to attend a banquet tonight?"

"So are you trying to track me down?” Emmett's voice had a hint of a smile. "Don't worry. I don't have a girlfriend. Frank will go with me."

Hearing this, Alyssa thought to herself that she would be miserable.

She did not know what to say after that.

Seeing that Alyssa did not speak for a long time, Emmett asked, "What is it?"

"I..." Alyssa really could not say it. Or rather, she did not dare to say that she accompanied Henry to attend the banquet.

On the other side, Emmett waited very patiently for her to speak.

Alyssa hesitated for a moment and said, "It's good that you did not bring a female companion."

The smile in Emmett's tone became more obvious. "I'm going to the banquet venue now. I'll call you later."

Alyssa said, "Okay."

After hanging up, Alyssa walked around in the bathroom anxiously.

Emmett was really going to attend this dinner. If she went out, she would definitely bump into him.

After thinking for a while, Alyssa gritted her teeth and made up her mind. She directly sat down on the toilet.

She decided not to go out. She would stay here until the banquet ended!

She did not believe that Henry could run into the women's toilet to look for her!

Henry had been waiting outside for Alyssa. He waited left and right but did not see her come out even after a long time.

Hence, he called her.

Without being able to get through to her, he thought that something had happened to her.

When the phone was about to be hung up automatically, Alyssa answered the phone, "Hello."

Henry heaved a sigh of relief and asked her, "Why aren't you out yet?"

The other end of the phone was quiet for a while before Alyssa's weak voice sounded. "I have diarrhea and can't come out. You can go now, but I have to stay here for longer.”

Henry was speechless.

He knew that Alyssa did not want to attend the banquet with him, but he did not expect her to come up with such a boring excuse.

Henry put his hands on his waist and said helplessly, "Alyssa, have you forgotten our agreement? If you accompany me to the banquet, I will tell you what I know."
