CEO's Substitute Bride Chapter 24

At the restaurant.

As soon as the two sisters faced each other, the atmosphere in the room had dropped a couple of
degrees.

Skylar placed her bag on the table and raised her chin and spoke arrogantly to Alyssa, “Just say what
you want to say. I can’t waste time with you. I have a date with Henry.”

She looked at her newly manicured fingers which reflected under the lights as she spoke.

She then looked at Alyssa. While she was dressed for the gala, her sister was dressed for the barn. It
had been so many years, but her ugliness didn’t faded. This woman always looked same, the long
dress, unhealthy and spotty skin, coupled with her thick-framed black glasses, ugly as a toad.

Such a woman wanted to compete with her for a man?

Only those fools on the internet would believe it.

Alyssa lowered her gaze and looked at the glass on her hand. She rubbed her hands on the glass and
suppressed her anger to smash on Skylar’s face. Just as she looked up, she noticed a man holding a
camera just came in and sat facing them.

“Let’s start.” Her lips curled up as she sent a message to that man.

She made sure that all her actions were well-thought of, not wanting Skylar to notice anything
suspicious in the background. After all, her plan relied on the woman displaying her true colors, and



that wouldn't happen if she was aware that someone was watching them.

Alyssa looked at Skylar and said very humbly. “I have already apologized in front of the public. Please
don’t make things difficult for my mother.”

Her hands trembled, and her head was bowed. From an outsider's perspective, she looked like she
was being bullied by her older sister, and that was the image she would like to portray. After all, it was
the truth.

Skylar sneered not able to suspect anything. This woman was always been an idiot ever since she was
born. How could she be smart and defeat her overnight? This was simply impossible.

Skylar’s eyes flashed with satisfaction and she laughed coldly.

“Okay. If you don’t want me to punish Aurora, I can do it. But on one condition.” Skylar crossed her
arms and raised her chin as if she won.

“What condition?” Alyssa asked nervously.

“Why are you such an idiot? Aurora never cared about you and never regarded you as her daughter.
Then why are you so concerned about her? You must be a whole new generation of stupid.”

Alyssa’s hands which were on her lap tightened up and her knuckles started to turn white. She said
with a bitter tone. “No matter what happens, she's still my mother. Even if I knew that it was because of
you that she begged me to get married to Emmett, I still agreed. Because she was my mother and I am
her daughter.”



“Pathetic.” Skylar couldn’t stand seeing Alyssa helpless and weak look. Back when they were younger,
Alyssa had the best grades in her year, and she even looked prettier than her. That’s why she hated
her with her all might. It was a good thing that Aurora was also on her side with this.

Thereafter, Alyssa became ugly and dumb. And she hated her even more.

Having someone stupid and ugly as her sister was already shameful enough!

But if anything, her sister was as obedient as a dog. Easily used and easily disposed.

But if anything, her sister was as obedient as a dog. Easily used and easily disposed.

Skylar smirked. She curled up her lips and said venomously, “You are just a bitch like your mother.”

How ironic!

Ridicule flashed through Alyssa’s eyes. The moment Aurora married into the Moore family twenty years
ago, she made it her goal to treat Skylar like a princess, making sure that she had never felt
uncomfortable with her at all. In the end, it seemed that her feelings and sincerity weren't reciprocated.
It was just a waste of time.

Skylar just called her a bitch!

What was the use of all her hard word and efforts?

“You can insult me however you can but please don’t say that about my mother. She was genuinely
good for you.” Alyssa said softly although she was hurt in her heart.



How could Skylar listen to Alyssa’s words? She slammed the table and yelled. “Shut up! You don’t have
the right to teach me! Now the only thing you need to do is divorce Emmett.”

“Divorce?” Alyssa stared at her with her eyes wide open.

At this time, she was half genuine and half pretending. At least, her surprise was authentic.

Alyssa could predict what Skylar was thinking in her heart.

Although the Lawrence family didn't care as to who would marry Emmett, they definitely wouldn't stand
it if one of them were to go back on their words. Alyssa was nothing more than an ugly and stupid
woman who had stolen him from Skylar for the fame and fortune of the Lawrence family. Now, Skylar
wanted for her to end things once and for all.

Even if she were to mention about divorce with Emmett, it would be an insult to him.

Lawrences would never forgive her! In fact, they'd do everything to make her life a living hell.

This move of Skylar was truly vicious. Now that she had drawn everyone's attention to Alyssa, she
could simply stand on the sidelines. She wanted to make Alyssa be the target of Lawrences and let
them vent their resentment and hatred on her. While she could live peacefully with Henry without any
pressure of the society.

Incredible!

Skylar pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear, displaying a slight pink mark on her neck. “As long



as you do this, I won't make things difficult for Aurora."

Although Alyssa was naive, she wasn't stupid.

The red mark was clearly a hickey.

Was she showing off?

Alyssa took a drink as she felt a lump in her throat.

She wasn’t sad that Skylar was with Henry. She was upset that the person she had been in love with
was just like any other man.

“But the Lawrences will never agree to me divorcing Emmett.”

Even if it was a divorce, it could only be initiated by Emmett. She was a nobody in front of Lawrence
family. She was very clear about her own place.

"That's your problem. My advice to you is to be an obedient dog. Otherwise, your mother will suffer the
consequences.”

Skylar could not be bothered any more to say anything else with Alyssa. She took out a mirror to touch
up her lipstick. Then she took out her phone and dialed a number and softly called out, “Henry.”

Alyssa’s expression froze, but her reaction made Skylar very satisfied.



Although the ugly woman posed no threat to her, it gave Skylar so much satisfaction to see her in such
a pitiful state. she felt a sense of accomplishment when she saw Alyssa behaving like a dejected dog.

Through the window, Alyssa saw her sister driving away before turning to the table in front of her. Her
mission was done here, and it seemed that just as expected she had gotten the results she wanted.
Although she knew that Skylar was a wretch, she hadn't realized how bad it was until now.

The man just waved his phone without speaking. His job was also done. Alyssa lowered her head to
look at her phone and there were a new message.

“I’ll send you the videos when I get back.”

Alyssa replied only one word. “Thanks.”

She placed down her phone and started to eat the dishes on the table. It had already become cold, but
the taste was still there.

When she was young, she liked Skylar a lot. In fact, if anyone were to ask her five-years-old self as to
who she wanted to be, she'd happily point at her sister, “Sister Skylar!”

Skylar was pretty and smart and She loved to dress up. That’s why Alyssa kept following her.

However, instead of receiving love, what she got was insult and slaps, leaving her wondering what she
had done wrong.

But in turned out, Skylar was actually such a heartless person.



Skylar had been so good to her for more than twenty years, treated her as her own daughter, and the
woman could call her a bitch!

If Skylar could call Aurora like that, then what about her who she never liked?

She had thought that there was some affection between Skylar and Aurora, given that they've always
been on the same side, but…

Alyssa had a knot in her stomach and the food here wasn’t that good. She got up and left the
restaurant.

As she had walked away, Emmett went to the back door to catch up with the paparazzi, pulling him to
the side.

The paparazzi saw Emmett’s high and mighty appearance and knew that he was different from others.
He asked defensively, “What are you doing?”

Emmett’s gaze fell on the man's bag and he said calmly. "Show me the video."

"I–I don't know what you're talking about!" This was his tomorrow’s headline news. The last thing the
reporter needed was for someone to get the news out there first!

“Really? Do you believe that I can blacklist you from the entire entertainment industry in the Herton
City?” Emmett’s expression didn’t change. His voice was calm but it was enough to make anyone feel
chill down in his spine.



Although the reporter had no idea that this man was Emmett, he could tell that he was powerful with his
custom-made suit and signature suitcase. It was obvious that he was rich and important. Either way,
there was no way he was messing with him.

Not doubting Emmett’s ability, he obediently showed Emmett the video

The scene and audio were very clear and echoed in the parking lot. Emmett listened to the
conversation between two women, not messing a word.
