Chapter 53


    Alyssa stared at the coffee stains on his buttoned-up shirt and raised an eyebrow. "You can''t even hold


    a cup of coffee properly," shemented sarcastically. "They say that if something''s wrong with your


    hand coordination, your kidney isn''t good. Think they could say the same for you?"


    Emmett pursed his lips and ced the cup on top of the table. He didn''t bother to wipe the stains from


    his suit as he stood up. "There''s nothing wrong with my hand coordination, I assure you. Unless, of


    course, you''d like to test it out?" After that, he winked.


    She didn''t even bother to look at him as she turned around and walked towards the door. "Dream on!"


    Her arrogant voice echoed throughout the hallway just as the door had mmed shut.


    He blinked in surprise.


    Did this woman grow a pair of wings since she had removed her makeup, that she''d actually dared to


    challenge him? His eyes shed with amusement as he stared at her retreating figure.


    Alyssa ran out of the vi. As soon as she was out of his reach, she patted her chest as she sighed in


    relief. Thank God! Thest thing she needed was to trap herself under him again.


    At this point, she knew for a fact that she shouldn''t show any sort of weakness.


    The corners of her lips rose into a smirk. Not only had she walked away from him, but she also


    snapped back at him. At this point, she was invincible!


    Maybe “Justin” wasn''t as scary as he had initially seemed.


    There was no way she was going to allow herself to be threatened by him.


    Alyssa went to the Moore Group. Her thoughts were wandering elsewhere as her car sped down the


    highway.


    Back when she was younger, she followed Skr into thepany once. After that she could only


    stand outside the building every time she passed by.


    In the past, her biggest wish was only Aurora to recognize her as her daughter. She had never thought


    that she''d be able to enter the Moore Group and get more shares than any of them.


    In fact, she had never thought that Jason himself would be the one to invite, no beg for her toe


    over.


    Taking a deep breath, she raised her chin and went to the building.


    Alyssa didn''t have a work permit, as it was her first day here. The moment she had entered, one of the


    receptionists stopped her at the front desk. "Miss, may I ask who you''re looking for?"


    She smiled. Her eyes were as bright as the stars. "I''m Alyssa Moore. I''m here for work."


    Moore? The receptionists looked at each other.


    "Who is this?" Skr''s voice came from behind.


    The sound of high heels clicked closer and closer towards the desk.


    Skr walked in front of her. However, when she saw the woman''s face more clearly, her eyes widened


    in shock. Even her confident voice had reverted into a stutter, "Who…who are you?"


    "I''m Alyssa. Do you not recognize me anymore, Sister?" Alyssa’s said slowly. There was an


    inexplicable sense of mockery hidden in her voice.


    "I...how did you...how did you be like this?"


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    "Sis, this is what I really look like. Do you really not recognize me? After all, we have seen all of our


    lives, haven''t we?"


    Alyssa approached her as she spoke.


    Skr was still so immersed in Alyssa''s change of appearance that she couldn''t help but stagger back.


    There was no way that this was Alyssa, that ugly duckling! She looked so different! Skr’s face paled


    over.


    Obviously, she knew that the men didn''t seed in raping thetter back at Sky Light Club.


    But even if they had reported to her, Skr still couldn''t believe that Alyssa was able to escape


    unscathed. After all, hadn''t she arranged everything so wlessly? Something must''ve happened!


    That was why she asked Aurora to invite Alyssa out for a meal. She wanted to see if thetter was


    really okay. What she didn''t expect is for her to be in this state!


    Even the receptionists were surprised. Their jaws were hanging so low that they''d risk falling off.


    It had been rumored that the Third Lady of the Moore family was ugly and stupid. Did she have stic


    surgery overseas? Or were the rumors about herpletely and utterly wrong?


    Plus, the Second Lady, who had once been arrogant and domineering, seemed to be a little intimidated


    by the Third Lady. Something was up. Plenty of men and women looked in their direction, wanting to


    get in with the gossip.


    Skr forcefully suppressed her anger and gritted her teeth as she faked a smile. "You''re my biological


    sister, of course, I know you. After all, I even gave you my fiancé, didn''t I?"


    Previously, Skr had bought all the media coverage by saying that Alyssa had snatched her fiancé.


    And now that woman was saying that she had given it to her? The woman was nothing but a two-faced


    bitch.


    Even if she was irritated, Alyssa didn''t let it show. She smiled. "Thank you for being so generous to


    allow me to marry such an outstanding man. If it weren''t for you, I wouldn''t have found myself."


    "You!" Skr had always been used to dealing with her obedience. Seeing Alyssa bing so sure of


    herself, she wanted to peel off her skin. She raised her hand.


    Just as she was about to reach out, Alyssa held her arm. Even then, her smile hadn''t faded. "Sister,


    why don''t we go up first? We shouldn''t keep Dad waiting."


    They were in a public area, and employees wereing in and out of the hallway. If the two of them


    had caused a scene, it wouldn''t do them any good.


    Understanding this, Skr turned around and walked towards the elevator.


    However, they didn''t get very far when she had heard the receptionists discussing behind them. They


    were arguing about which one of the women looked good.


    "Third Lady is pretty, don''t you think? Do you think she have stic surgery?" One of them said.


    "But she looks so natural!"


    "If she didn’t have a stic surgery, then she''d be prettier than the Second Lady!"


    As soon as Skr heard this, she was so enraged that she directly shook off Alyssa''s grip. Her eyes


    zed over at her, gazing at her as if she was looking at something dirty. "Don''t touch me!"


    Alyssa reached out and patted her arm as if she was wiping off some sort of dirt. "If you insist."


    In all honesty, she found Skr quite disgusting. The woman thought that just because she was pretty


    on the outside that she could be despicable on the inside.


    Skr saw Alyssa''s actions and clenched her fists. If it weren''t for Jason''s instructions she would''ve


    stepped in and grabbed thetter’s hair. But now, all she could do was hold it in.


    As soon as they exited the elevator, the two of them entered Jason''s office together.


    Although the old man wasn''t pleased with Alyssa, he still weed her with thergest smile he could


    ever had. "Alyssa, you''re here," he said gently, motioning her to sit in front of him.


    Upon seeing their interaction, Skr banged the cup of tea onto Jason’s desk to express her


    dissatisfaction. She didn''t want Alyssa to steal her father''s favor, not while she was still breathing!


    Alyssa saw their reactions, and she couldn''t help but find it weird. Although Skr was more ''trained''


    and ''educated'', she truly didn''t act that way.


    "What position do you have arranged for me?" Alyssa sat opposite him with a gentle expression on her


    face.


    Without waiting for Jason to speak, Skr rushed in front of him and intercepted, "I know what you


    could do. I heard that the marketing department requires a market researcher. Since you''re willing to


    ept challenges, maybe this job is more right for you."


    "But I''m not willing to ept challenges. In fact, I want a more rxed job." Alyssa responded lightly.


    Alyssa studied in the film academy, so she wasn''t interested in doing any marketing or financial work.


    She may have been willing back then, but that wasn''t the case anymore.


    Market research required hard work, and she wasn''t willing to do any of that.


    "You''re still young, so you should be open to having more responsibilities. Why don''t you try it out first?


    If it isn''t suitable, then you cane back and inform me." Although Jason sounded nice, it was


    obvious that he had already made up his made.


    The two of them had been so used to her obedience that they wanted to see if they could control her


    even more.


    She understood their objective.


    But instead of refusing, she bowed her head in agreement. Her face was filled with unspoken gratitude.


    "Since that''s the case, then I''ll thank you for considering me for this position."


    "Skr, bring Alyssa to the Marketing Department." Jason said before lowering his head to look at the


    documents on his desk. He couldn''t be bothered with Alyssa.


    Skr thought of the pain and hardships that Alyssa was about to suffer and held back. Pretending to


    be calmer than usual, she motioned her towards the door. "Come with me."


    Alyssa blinked in surprise. In the past, she had always swallowed her anger when it came to her


    family''s wrongdoings. It was probably that same mistake that they still believed that they could walk all


    over her.


    They asked her to be a market researcher, one of the lowest positions here in thepany. Fine!


    She''d agree and even thank him for his so-called ''kindness'', but that didn''t mean that she''d do it well.
