Chapter 39


    Alyssa immediately dialed Hazel’s number.


    "Hello?" An exhausted voice came from the other end of the line. "Is something wrong? Did something


    happen?"


    “Did you buy the trending topic on Skr’s topic?”


    “Didn’t you refuse? Have you changed your mind? Wait, if you want me to do it, I could contact my


    friends right now.” Hazel said excitedly, pping her hands together.


    "No, it''s not that. I just saw that her videos had gone up the trending search again. I thought you were


    the one who paid the site to get it up there.” Alyssa exined as she scrolled down the Inte. No


    matter how far she had scrolled, Skr’s videos were everywhere.


    “What? Really?” Hazel said and then made some noises. Alyssa guessed she might browsing the


    Weibo.


    As expected, after a few seconds, Hazel burst intoughter. "Although I didn''t do this, I''ll send some


    flowers to whoever did. As I''ve said, karma''s going to get her one day. I just didn''t expect that it would


    be this fast!"


    Even as Alyssa hung up the phone a few minutester, she still couldn''t get her mind off the trending


    list. She stared at her screen. How could it have gotten up there again even after the suppression of


    the Moore family?


    Who did it? Could Skr have offended other people? Perhaps they were the ones who wanted to give


    her a taste of her own medicine?


    It wasn’t impossible. In all her years of living in the Moore family, she had seen how Skr acted. From


    being arge immature brat to an impatient and self-centered woman, she had offended quite a lot of


    people throughout her entire life. And some of them were even members of the upper ss as well. It


    was possible that they''d all gang up on her.


    Alyssa didn’t dwell this matter too much after all it had nothing to do with her. Looking at the time, she


    felt that Emmett should''ve finished his meal by now, so she headed to his study. Besides, they had


    quite a lot to talk about.


    They didn''t have time to even discuss the matters of what had transpired in the Interview, and with


    everything that had happened on the Inte, it was best that she present herself to him. Just to make


    sure that everything was clear with him.


    The door of the study was tightly shut. Alyssa hesitated and then knocked on the door.


    "Come in." A hoarse voice came from the inside.


    Alyssa pushed the door open and walked into the study. Just like always, the man was still sitting


    behind his desk, with his back facing her. She could only see his long arms and broad shoulders.

    Although she was used to this appearance, she couldn''t help but be a little puzzled. Emmett didn''t want


    her to see his face, yet he still bothered to go out when needed be. Didn''t that mean that he was


    allowing the rest of the world to see his face?


    From her knowledge and ording to plenty of rumors, Emmett was an extremely isted person. Not


    only did he not go out, but he also hated socializing. The man was said to lock himself in his house for


    years, never going out...yet, from what she had observed, that wasn''t exactly true. So why was he still


    hiding his face from her?


    "What''s the matter?"


    Alyssa tilted her head and looked at him curiously. "Do you know what happened online recently? In


    Weibo?"


    There was silence for a couple of seconds before he finally responded, "There''s no need to mention


    what had happened in the past. You''re my wife so you’d better behave. Nobody can touch you here."


    Although his voice was cold, there was a sense offort in his words.


    She pursed her lips upon hearing him. Somehow, there was something about his voice that sounded


    very simr to Justin. If his voice was less hoarse, they might even sound the same. Perhaps it was


    because they were cousins.


    "Thank you." As she walked out, she breathed a sigh of relief.


    Although Emmett was a little strange when it came to his appearance, he wasn''t psychotic as some


    people who had been traumatized. Plus, he gave her enough space to do whatever she wanted.


    Although Emmett was a little strange when it came to his appearance, he wasn''t psychotic as some


    people who had been traumatized. Plus, he gave her enough space to do whatever she wanted.


    Somehow, even in istion, he already gave her ten times than what her own family had given her.


    She walked downstairs to the dining room, only to see that it was empty.


    Perhaps “Justin” had already left.


    …


    The next morning, Alyssa changed into more formal clothes and left for her interview.


    Finally, she was doing something productive. These past few days, she had done nothing but go


    through with Skr’s requests, as if she hadn''t been doing it for the past twenty years. Even when


    married, she still couldn''t shake her off! It was a waste of time.


    All in all, her day went quite well. As she had graduated from a famous academy with high marks, the


    twopany she had interview appointments with already expressed their willingness to hire her.


    She was excited and a bright smile appeared on her face. Back then, Aurora had prevented her from


    engaging in any professional job after her college graduation. Not only because she didn''t want her to


    seed over her stepdaughter, but also because the woman had other ns for her. One of them


    included marrying her to Emmett.


    Now that she wasn''t under their roofs, she had all the freedom in the world, with equally plenty of


    options to choose from.


    Alyssa decided to have lunch while looking over thepany information for her next interview.


    Not long after she sat down, she noticed a woman wearing a mask and a cap walking towards her.


    Before she could react, the masked woman grabbed the ss water in front of her and poured it down


    Alyssa’s head.


    The water sshed everywhere, drenching her suit.


    “Alyssa!"


    Alyssa closed her eyes and wiped the water from her face. And then she looked at the woman.


    It was only upon closer look did she realize that the masked woman was none other than Skr.


    With her current status, Skr needed to disguise herself before heading out. That was the only way


    for people to not recognize her wherever she''d gone.


    Otherwise, the hate she''d receive even just by walking down the street would be immeasurable.


    "If you have something to say, then just say it. Don''t beat around the bush." Alyssa raised her head.


    Her expression was extremely calm.


    Alyssa''s face contorted into one of anger and disgust. ncing at the people surrounding them, she


    immediately lowered her voice and said fiercely. "You''re the one who posted the video all over the


    inte, aren’t you? I won''t let you off that easily!"


    She really had underestimated this woman. Alyssa didn''t expect her intuition to be this good.


    But she wouldn’t admit it.


    "What video?" Alyssa asked with surprise.


    "I bet that you were just faking it all these years, weren''t you? You weren''t stupid at all. You''re just


    waiting for the right time, weren''t you?" Skr said with extreme hatred.


    Finally, Alyssa smiled. "I guess you know me better than my parents."


    Jason and Aurora probably still thought that she was nothing more than a fool. After all, she had yed


    dumb for so long that even if she were smart from the start, they wouldn''t have believed it. For them,


    this entire thing must just be purely coincidental. Because how could their stupid daughter be


    maniptive enough to release these types of information to the media unscathed?


    Besides, even if they had inkling that she was smart all along, it would hurt their pride more if they


    admitted to being tricked by the daughter they''ve abandoned. The shame that came along with it must


    be humiliating for them.


    "You bitch!" Skr raised her hand and was about to hit her.


    Alyssa was about to dodge it when she saw a familiar figure walking over from the opposite side of the


    restaurant. The corners of her lips curled up and she gazed up at Skr. This was going to be fun.


    She didn’t dodge and her head swung to the side after receiving Skr’s p.


    Henry had just stepped into the restaurant when he saw Alyssa being pped in front of all these


    people. Before the masked woman could do it again, he grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her back,


    ring at her.


    Only then did he realize who she was.


    "Skr?"


    "Henry!" The anger in her voice faded almost immediately, and her eyes shone with joy. It was as if


    they were faced with apletely different woman. “Please, listen to me. The videos and photos


    you''ve seen online, they were all posted by this slut! She''s just jealous that I''m with you. Do you really


    not trust me anymore?"


    Alyssa covered her swollen face and lowered her gaze, pretending to be the weakling everyone


    thought she was.


    Honestly, she couldn''t help but admire Skr''s self-centeredness. In her mind, the entire world


    revolved around her, and every woman in the street envied her. Just the thought it was ludicrous, yet it


    was enough to keep her sated.


    Tightly biting her lips, Alyssa shook her head. "I didn''t!"


    Please, she wasn''t jealous of Skr to begin with!


    "You''re lying!" Skr shrieked.


    "Enough!" Henry gritted his teeth and shouted.


    The two of them had yelled much louder this time, attracting the attention of the other guests. Although


    they couldn''t see who the masked woman was, they were looking curiously, just like watching some


    interesting drama.


    Concerned about his reputation, Henry quickly lowered his head and said coldly. "Let''s go to a room


    and talk.”


    Then, he turned to Alyssa. His tone was much softer this time. "Alyssa, follow me.


    Alyssas originally didn''t want to follow them, but upon seeing her Skr''s deste features, she


    couldn''t help but nod and agree with them. To see Skr being looked down on and despised by Henry


    so miserably.


    When the three of them had finally entered a more private room, Skr pointed a finger at Alyssa''s


    nose. "Everything that you''ve seen was done by her. I''m innocent! The videos you saw? The photos?


    They were all photoshopped by this bitch!"


    Having lied all these years, Skr really came up with a clumsy excuse this time around.


    Henry gazed at her for a long time, as if this was the first time he hade across her. His face was


    filled with disappointment, and he sighed. "Even up to this time, you''re still lying!"


    Dissatisfied with the situation, Skr pulled Alyssa forward. "Tell him what you did! Tell him that you''re


    the one who photoshopped it! Tell him that you set me up!"


    Although Skr had a feeling that Alyssa was ying dumb, she couldn''t help but still be convinced of


    how easily bullied theter was. Seeing the way she readily epted her p a few seconds ago gave


    her the illusion that she was still in control.


    Alyssa gazed up at Henry before shaking her head. "I can''t admit to something that I didn''t do."


    Henry had a good impression of Alyssa all these years, taking her for a woman who easily followed


    through with her family''smands. In his mind, she could do absolutely no wrong.


    Seeing Skr forcing her like this, he quickly pulled Alyssa behind his back. "If you still won''t take


    responsibility, then I suggest you leave. Stop following me around."


    Skr had been contacting him for the past two days. He didn''t want to talk to her, so he ignored all her


    calls. What he didn''t expect was for her to follow him like some type of stalker!
