CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Alyssa, on the other hand, couldn’t bear to see it. She gently kicked his leg under the table and whispered. “Justin!”

Although she had wanted to pay Skylar back for everything she had done, this wasn’t it!

Emmett turned around. Upon seeing her wide eyes, he knew she wanted him to stop. He sighed and knocked on the table and said lazily. “All right. I’ve never seen such a cruel man such as yourself, Mr. Moore. You’re actually willing to beat your beautiful daughter up like this. But as they say, the apple doesn’t really fall that far from the tree.”

His voice didn’t sound like he was the culprit at all. Instead, he sounded sad and wistful as if he was just an innocent bystander. With a shake of his head, he pushed back his plate and gazed at the man in front of him.

Jason felt his heart lurch in his chest, but he didn’t say another word. After all, who could offend such a powerful man like Justin? His eyes lowered, turning his gaze away from his once beautiful daughter.

He couldn’t see her face anymore.

Skylar’s face was as swollen as a pig’s head. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her cheeks were already black and blue. Other people wouldn’t be able to recognize her at this point.

While the father and daughter pair looked sullen, Emmett couldn’t be bothered. He said mockingly. “Well, as a father, it is your duty to teach your daughter a thing or two, but you shouldn’t be so cruel. Hopefully, no misunderstandings were created. Am I right, Mr. Moore?”

The old man didn’t respond and lowered his head.

Seeing as he had already achieved his goal, Emmett wasn’t going to extend his stay any longer. He turned his head to the woman beside him, and his face softened dramatically. “Are you full?”

Alyssa placed the unfinished pumpkin cake in her hand back on the plate before nodding her head. “I…Yes, I’m full.” Even she was surprised by his sudden change of expression.

“Let’s go.” Without another word, he stood up and walked away.

Alyssa grabbed her bag and quickly followed behind him.

“Justin” was tall, and he had really long legs. One step from him was like a sprint from Alyssa, and she had to automatically quicken her pace just to be able to keep up with him.

Just as she was about to reach him, he suddenly stopped where he was going and looked over at her. Then, he didn’t move after that. It was as if he was waiting for her.

So many things had happened today, but there was one woman that had automatically driven her to tears. That was her mother, Aurora. Her fingernails dug into her skin at the thought of her.
