CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 328

Alyssa knew very well how petty Emmett was.

It was really easy for him to get jealous out of nothing.

If she admitted that she had gotten herself a "new boyfriend," Emmett would definitely pick on her words at that time.

There was still a gap between a boyfriend and a "new boyfriend.”

After Alyssa finished dealing with the reporters, she did not dare to go to the Film and TV studio complex again today. When she called Amelia, Amelia as always used the news to make fun of her.

“You are so trending these days, and you have saved our crew a lot of publicity fee for our drama.”

Alyssa said calmly, "Since that's the case, when the filming of 'Lost City' is done and you earn money, why don’t you give me some dividends?"

Hearing this, Amelia sneered and said snappily, "You are already thinking of splitting the money even before the show is finished? Since when did you start to love money too much?"

Alyssa did not deny it, "Who doesn't like money? The more the better."

As she talked to Amelia, she walked towards the parking lot.

Just as she had found her car and pressed the unlock button, she heard a familiar female voice behind her, "Alyssa."

Alyssa turned her head and saw Kathleen in a white suit.

Why was this woman here?

"Are you talking to me?" Alyssa pointed at herself, as she said.

Kathleen raised her chin and said coldly, "Is there anyone else here?"

"If you have something to say, just say it. It's hot and I'm in a hurry to go back." Alyssa shook the car keys in her hand and leaned against the car. She reached out her hand to cover the sun.

The weather at the end of August was still very hot.

"Although you have divorced Emmett, you were once Emmett's wife. Please be more self-centered and respect yourself. I don’t care whether you are trying to humiliate yourself or not, but don't always think about riding on the waves of Emmett's popularity to make yourself famous and embarrass him as well. I don’t want to see him lose face because of you.”

Kathleen's righteous manner made Alyssa almost believe that Kathleen was a good elder sister who cared for her younger brother very much.

Alyssa slightly narrowed her eyes and had a smile on her face. She spoke very slowly, "What you are worried about is not whether Emmett will lose face. You are afraid that this matter will affect the reputation of the Lawrence family and you yourself will be affected.”

Kathleen sternly interrupted her, "Shut up. It is not your turn to interfere in the matter between us siblings!"

Alyssa sneered, her tone was cold as ice, "Is that so? Then, it’s not your turn to mind my own business, either.”

"If you had not been despicable enough to ride on the wave of Emmett's reputation every time, do you think I would bother to mind your business? I don’t care who you are with or what you are doing. Women should be more self-respecting. You didn’t respect anyone but at least respect yourself, Girl.”

The disdain on Kathleen's face could not be any more obvious.

Facing Kathleen’s criticism, Alyssa was not angry at all and only felt that it was funny.

She knew what Kathleen meant. Kathleen was saying that Alyssa used Emmett's reputation every time she went to the trending search. So Kathleen came to find her today. Especially this time when she kissed Emmett in the car and was photographed by the reporters. This matter also caused Emmett to be discussed by the netizens.

Regarding this point, it was something Alyssa did not expect.

However, this did not mean that she had to agree with Kathleen’s remarks on her.

"Do you think you are my mother? Do you think you deserve to teach me a lesson? As for whether or not I have been riding on the wave of Emmett's fame… I think he knows better than anyone. Why didn’t he come to me? Does he need you to help him solve this problem?"

Hearing Alyssa’s words, Kathleen’s face was getting uglier and uglier.

Seeing Kathleen's expression worsen, Alyssa put away the original careless expression on her face and said somewhat seriously, "I understand your selfishness and also understand your meddling in other people's business. If you really think that you are Emmett's older sister, then you should care more about him."

Although Kathleen and Emmett were twins, they never got along well with each other.

When Emmett was kidnapped at a young age, he saw his mother being bullied and humiliated with his own eyes. She killed herself just the moment before the rescue team arrived. After that, his closest twin sister did not show him any concern. Instead, she disliked him and thought he was a strange child.

Emmett would not tell Alyssa such a detailed story. Alyssa could only see the whole picture from what Emmett talked about occasionally.

Kathleen had been a very selfish person since she was young. She knew what was beneficial to her the most.

Though Emmett was her younger brother, he was more of a tool than a family to Kathleen.

She was the daughter of the Lawrence family. She knew very well that her ability was not as good as Emmett's. Only Emmett could manage the Lawrence Corporation well so as to ensure the wealth and prosperity of the Lawrence family.

Alyssa finally understood that the people of the Lawrence family, except for Justin, the little child, all had the same thoughts as Kathleen.

They treated Emmett as a tool to earn money.

Kathleen's face turned red and white, when she heard this. "Alyssa Moore, don't think too highly of yourself!"

"You know very well whether I am very arrogant or not." Alyssa reached out and touched her forehead. Her hand was sweating.

The temperature outside was too high that she had only stood there for a few minutes when she broke out in such sweat.

"I'll go first." She and Kathleen did not have much to say. She pulled open the door and got into the car.

When she drove past Kathleen, Alyssa noticed her gloomy expression.

From the looks of it, Kathleen really looked like Emmett.

After all, they were twins. They looked very similar and their temperaments were not far apart.

When Alyssa drove back, she saw a luxury car downstairs.

She parked the car steadily and looked at the luxury car. She couldn’t help becoming a little nervous.

This person drove such a luxurious car. It was obvious that he was not a resident here. Could this person be looking for her again?

She unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car. Meanwhile, the person in the luxury car also opened the door and got out.

Alyssa stopped and turned her head to look at the person who got out of the car.

The man who got out of the car was wearing black clothes. He called out in a gentle voice, "Alyssa."

Alyssa was stunned for a moment before she said, "Mr. Backer, what brings you here?" NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Alyssa looked alert. Why did Dylan come looking for her?

She had indeed had a very colorful day today. First, she was surrounded by reporters, then Kathleen, and now it was Dylan.

Did these people pick a day to gather together to find trouble for her?

Dylan closed the car door behind him and walked straight to Alyssa. His tone was sincere, "You don't have to be so guarded. I came here today because I need your help."

"Do you think I can settle something that even Mr. Backer can't handle?" Alyssa subconsciously took another two steps back.

Alyssa's tone was very unfriendly, but Dylan obviously did not care at all.

He sighed and said, "My father had passed away. Justin is very sad and has always been very depressed. I was wondering that if you have time, you can go and chat with him."

Alyssa was stunned.

Richard had died in a car accident and Alyssa was actually worried about Justin.

Little did she think that Dylan would come to her.

"You are his brother. It is enough for him to have you by his side." Although she knew that Dylan and Justin were not biological brothers, she still had to say so.

Dylan shook his head. "I came here today only for Justin. You don't have to be too sensitive. I know you and Justin have a good relationship, so I came to find you."

Alyssa sized Dylan up for a while. Indeed, she did not see anything wrong with his face. She nodded and said, "I will go and talk to him some other day."
