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.


    Skr ced 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 g, 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 ck sses, ugly as a toad.


    Such a woman wanted topete with her for a man?


    Only those fools on the inte would believe it.


    Alyssa lowered her gaze and looked at the ss on her hand. She rubbed her hands on the ss and


    suppressed her anger to smash on Skr’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 Skr to notice anything


    suspicious in the background. After all, her n relied on the woman disying her true colors, and


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


    Alyssa looked at Skr 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.


    Skr 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.


    Skr’s eyes shed with satisfaction and sheughed coldly.


    “Okay. If you don’t want me to punish Aurora, I can do it. But on one condition.” Skr 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 herp 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.” Skr 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.


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


    How ironic!


    Ridicule shed through Alyssa’s eyes. The moment Aurora married into the Moore family twenty years


    ago, she made it her goal to treat Skr like a princess, making sure that she had never felt


    ufortable with her at all. In the end, it seemed that her feelings and sincerity weren''t reciprocated.


    It was just a waste of time.


    Skr 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 Skr listen to Alyssa’s words? She mmed 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 Skr 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 Skr for the fame and fortune of the Lawrence family. Now, Skr


    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 Skr 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!


    Skr pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear, disying 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 Skr 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 ce.


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


    consequences.”


    Skr 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 Skr very satisfied.


    Although the ugly woman posed no threat to her, it gave Skr so much satisfaction to see her in such


    a pitiful state. she felt a sense of aplishment 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 Skr 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 ced down her phone and started to eat the dishes on the table. It had already be cold, but


    the taste was still there.


    When she was young, she liked Skr 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 Skr!”


    Skr 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 ps, leaving her wondering what she


    had done wrong.


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


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


    She had thought that there was some affection between Skr 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. Thest thing the


    reporter needed was for someone to get the news out there first!


    “Really? Do you believe that I can cklist 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.
