Out of defense, Alyssa wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her head into his chest. Her mind went blank for a few seconds before she realized what was happening.

“Justin!” She screamed at the top of her lungs. A few pedestrians had glanced her way, but as soon as they saw the man holding her, they quickly looked away.

Alyssa struggled to get down from his arms, “Put me down!”

Ignoring her frustration, Emmett held her even tighter in his arms and put her on the passenger seat. No matter how many times she kicked her legs up in the air or pounded his chest with her fists, he still didn’t back down as he closed the door beside her. “Don’t move.”

“You wish!” As soon as she was seated, she reached out to grab the car door and want to get out of the car. With everything that had happened in the press conference and the night before, the last person she wanted to talk to was him!

Emmett had already expected her to try and fight back. Just as her hand was about to reach for the handle, he held the door with one hand and placed his other hand on the back of her seat, trapping her. He looked at Alyssa with a faint smile, “If you dare to get off, I will kiss you.”

Hearing this Alyssa froze. Although the reporters had left the building, they wouldn’t have gone very far. And if they’d see this, she was dead for sure.

Alyssa pursed her lips and said through clenched teeth, “You really are the most shameless man I’ve ever met.”

“Thank you for you praise.” Emmett closed the door, got in the car from the other side and drove away.

Alyssa turned her head to the other side. She did not even want to look at the man beside her. The mere sight of him would annoy her.

Emmett didn’t look at her either. He looked straight ahead and said indifferently, “You haven’t answered my question.”

Question?

Alyssa was stunned for a moment before remembering his mocking tone. ‘Do you want to be killed or something?’

Alyssa turned around and glared at him, “If you’re looking to blackmail me or anything, then I’ll tell you right now that it wouldn’t work!”

Seemed like, as the days went by, she had started to grow out of her shell bit by bit.

Emmett looked at her and smiled. “Your husband is the most promising man in the Hoovere City. How dare I blackmail you? Do you think I’m that stupid?”

Although these words were spoken to ridicule her, there was a sense of pride twisted into his voice. It was as if he was proud of her for her response.

But why? It wasn’t as if she was complimenting him or anything. She was actually just talking about his cousin.
