CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Dawson Black was his full name. He had a wife and a daughter. While he was deemed to be lustful and lazy, there was actually one woman that could get him off his feet and that was his wife. She even had come to the company once to deal with him because of the rumors that the man was involved with a female colleague in the company. The words she used and the look she had on was like a lion on a prowl.

Everyone in the company knew that he was especially afraid of his wife.

Yesterday, Alyssa had offended the department manager on her first day at work, so she obviously needed to do her homework. The last thing she wanted to do was back down, like all the times she had done in the past.

As soon as he caught sight of her, the muscles on his face twitched terribly. Although he had recovered from the electric shock, he could still feel his veins rippling under his skin. This woman looked weak, yet he didn’t expect her to also look unafraid.

No matter! He had been in the company for more than ten years, and he wasn’t going to allow himself to be bullied by this bitch!

A sinister look flashed in Dawson’s eyes as he turned to look at Jason and ignored Alyssa.

Alyssa didn’t care about that. She directly walked up to Jason and said, “Dad, why did you call me?”

Although she knew in her heart that Jason and Skylar wanted to use this incident as an excuse to deal with her and humiliate her, she still had to pretend that she didn’t know. After all, she may have dropped the act of being dense and pitiful, but that didn’t mean she’d want them to stop underestimating her.

Jason’s cold face didn’t budge. “If you’re unsatisfied with the work that I’ve arranged for you, then you come to me directly. Do you really have to vent your anger on Manager Black? If this matter were to spread, others would think my daughter’s very arrogant, that she isn’t fit to handle such a position! Do you know what that will do to the company’s image?”

Instead of interrupting him and defending herself, she listened carefully, nodding every now and then. Once he was finished, she tilted her head in mocking curiosity. “The consequences must be very serious.”

Skylar snorted coldly. “Since you know of the consequences, then I suggest you apologize to him now!”

Alyssa paid no heed to Skylar at all. Her eyebrows remained furrowed as she snapped her fingers in response. “Since you’ve been speaking so much of the importance of the company image, then I must ask. Is sister’s matter already settled? A few days ago, I heard from the Internet that netizens have seen her go to Sky Light Club again.”

As soon as she heard this, Skylar turned pale. She opened her mouth and wanted to defend herself. “Dad, I…”

course, I know that elder sister isn’t that kind of person. I mean, why would she go to such a place? I think it must be our competitors who tried to spread those rumors, to try and frame her,” Alyssa interrupted, shaking her head in what seemed to be a disappointment. “But I still think they should be addressed. As the saying goes, if a child doesn’t do well, then it is not her failure alone, but her parents’. Many investors will think that you haven’t educated her well, and to have her work here…that
