CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 22

Along the way, Alyssa kept scrolling the social media. But this time she was not shaking with anger, instead she was reading calmly those articles.

The post ‘A Wench Mad For Money’ was still trending. Most of the netizens were scolding her.

“This woman had the nerve to betray her sister, even after what she had done for her. She is really shameless!”

“Skylar didn’t deserve to have a sister like her! That bitch!”

“Right, I want to beat her with a shovel.”

Alyssa laughed coldly. She was the true victim in this entire incident, yet all she had gotten were hate comments and death wishes. And Skylar, the mastermind behind it all, got fame and fortune straight into her pockets.

But why should she get all these hatred? And the trouble maker Skylar got reputation?

Alyssa sent Hazel a message.

“Introduce a reliable media reporter to me.”

“What are you going to do?!!!”

Although they were far away, Alyssa could sense Hazel’s excitement. Alyssa struggled to hide her smile from the text of Hazel.

“I don’t want to be scolded unnecessarily.”

“That’s the way. Get rid of that soft-talking princess disease. I’ll contact a friend of mine. Her fans are more than mine…”

Hazel couldn’t stand the high and mighty attitude of Skylar who felt that everyone should listen to her. So she kept her called soft-talking princess disease.

Alyssa was speechless. Hazel always liked to see such type of drama the most. And she was not afraid of big issues. Hazel always kept encouraging her to go against her family.

However, the matter had been escalated to the point of no return. So Alyssa had no choice but to act. Right now, she might as well make it worse.

Since Skylar wanted to squeeze dry all her usefulness, then she would give it to her.

It’s was only that Alyssa wasn’t sure if Skylar could really endure it.

…

At three in the afternoon, it was the perfect time for afternoon tea and chit chat. Not to mention that it was three in the afternoon on a weekend.

However, a very simple content of only ‘I am sorry’ three words was the leading story.

Within two hours, the comments were numbering in the tens of thousands.

This message was sent by Alyssa.

She asked the sales agent to screen capture her micro-blog and use a series of algorithms to recommend and verify that her ID was Skylar’s sister in the topic “A Wench Mad For Money”.

Sure enough, very soon the social media was filled with various curses.

“This family is horrible.”

“Damn them all to hell!”

It didn’t take long for Hazel to catch on the news. She was furious and called Alyssa, “Alyssa, are you crazy? You wanted the sales agent’s number to apologize to that soft talking princess disease? Do you believe that I’ll come over to shred you? Are you really want to make a fool of yourself?”

“I am not going to make a fool of myself.” Alyssa answered calmly.

“I am not going to make a fool of myself.” Alyssa answered calmly.

“Then what do you want to achieve?” Hazel asked with uncertainty.

When Hazel first saw the news, she didn’t believe that it was Alyssa who posted it. But when she clicked into it, it was verified that it was none other than Alyssa. So in spite of anger, she called to ask.

Only now that Hazel understood that Alyssa was something else in her mind while she did this.

Although all these years when Alyssa was in the Moore family, she had to swallow her anger, but that didn’t mean that she was as simple as others assumed her to be.

“I want to give a big gift to Skylar.” Alyssa paused and continued. “A grand gift which she could not forget rest of her life.”

Hazel belonged to one of the most prestigious families of Hertone City. And her family was better than the Moore family. When she met with Alyssa and knew her problems, she wanted to get rid of Skylar. After all, with her connections and prestige, no one would stand on her way. But Alyssa didn’t let her do it.

This time it was Alyssa who was the one to do it and she was ecstatic. “That’s great. If you need anything from me, just call me.”

…

The door to the study opened.

Frank took the tablet in and placed it on the table. “Boss, Madame apologized to Skylar on social media.”

Emmett was handling the official documents. Although he hadn’t taken over the Lawrence Group yet, he had some private business of his own. He wasn’t a man who liked to do things in front of public. Furthermore, in front of the outside world, he was still an ugly and cripple man.

He looked at the tablet on the table and Frank flipped to the page.

After reading through, he looked down, and calmly said, “Skylar’s name isn’t on it. Why are so sure that she is apologized Skylar?”

“Boss, you mean…” Frank’s impression of Alyssa was an ordinary girl who reacted slowly. So when he saw this post, he didn’t think too much of it, assuming that she had done thing out of her stupidity. However, it seemed that it wasn’t the case.

“Don’t interfere. Just inform me if there are further developments.”

Although he had only met Skylar once, he could see that Skylar was spoilt to the heavens by her family. That’s way her actions had become lawless and brash. She didn’t have the brain to think carefully before doing things either.

At least, Skylar didn’t think thoroughly before trying to get close to him.

On the contrast, the environment in which Alyssa grew up was very cruel. No applause, no encouragement, despised by everyone. She was constantly rejected by her own family, pushing her to rely on her own two hands. That was why she was far more mature than her peers.

He believed that if Alyssa really wanted to revenge, she would be successful.

If she didn’t succeed…

Hmm, if she begged him, he would consider helping her.

However, the possibly of that ugly woman begging him was…

The vibration of his cell phone broke Emmett’s thoughts.

He took the cell phone and glanced at the caller ID. His face darkened immediately.

It was an international call.

He didn’t need to guess who was calling him right now.

He didn’t take the call immediately but looked at Frank. “You can leave.”

When he was speaking, he continued to look at the phone and Frank, who had known him for a long time, could guess who the caller was. “I will update if something happens.”

After Frank left, Emmett answered the call.

The next moment, a loud and ear-piercing voice of a woman sounded from the other side of the phone. “Emmett, what’s going on with the news on social media? If I could see it overseas, isn’t it a bigger deal back there? Did you really marry an ugly and stupid woman? Your body is clearly fine, why don’t you do something to stop the misunderstandings. Why did you let any person become your wife and enter the Lawrences door…”

What the woman said become progressively nastier and Emmett started to frown and getting annoyed, “Camilla.”

“This is your attitude talking with your older sister!”

“Only by two minutes.” The last thing he wanted was to be lectured by his twin sister.

Camilla composed herself and continued, “Emmett, I’m not trying to quibble with you. I really don’t understand why you must behave this way. Look, even a nobody dared to climb over your head. Was that important? Once Dad retires, don’t you have to…”

“Stop it!” Emmett was infuriated.

His voice was chilling to the bone, “You can say this because you weren’t there! You didn’t see mother being bullied and tortured to death! You weren’t there when they abused her! You can run away and live in peace overseas, but I can’t! I won’t be in peace until I find her killer!”

“Those kidnappers were killed long ago!”

“No! The real mastermind hasn’t been caught!” Emmett’s voice was deep and sullen, “That morning, we had a sudden change of our tour plan. If someone didn’t reveal our new details, how could they have known our location and manage to capture us in a short while!”

Whenever he recalled the events that day, his fury and hate may erupt through his chest at any time!

Not wanting to talk anymore, he hung up the phone and slammed down this phone.

Every time they talked, he would always quarrel with her over this. For them, it was nothing more than a tragedy happened in the past. But for him, it was this life goal. He had to find the killer no matter what. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Knock! Knock!

Suddenly, there was a sound of knock, following by Alyssa’s voice, “Emmett, are you there?”
