Chapter 55


    Skr and Aurora were already assuming that she was having or had an affair with “Justin”. If they saw


    himing down the street to pick her up now, then they''d surely misunderstand her situation even


    more.


    Alyssa frowned, feeling as if she wasing down with a headache. This was just tooplicated! It


    would''ve been easier if she had gone back to the vi herself. Besides, she didn''t have any need for


    any help either way!


    After exiting the elevator, Skr went out first. When Alyssa saw that Skr was already a few steps


    ahead, she slowed down her pace and took her phone out of her pockets.


    "Justin, you better pick up." She murmured while dialing the number.


    To her surprise, the man answered quickly. "What is it now?"


    His mocking voice echoed from the other end of the line before she could even speak. "Have you


    decided not to treat me to a meal? Have you run away with the ck card, stealing me from my own


    well-deserved dinner?


    "Don''t be ridiculous!"


    Wait a second!


    "Where are you now?" Alyssa froze, ncing at her surroundings every now and then. If the man was


    saying that she was trying to sneak out, then didn''t that mean that he was already here waiting for her?


    Emmett looked up. "I''m at the entrance. If you aren''t nning on escaping, then I suggest you hurry up.


    If we arrive anyter, there wouldn''t be any seats left."


    Before she could say anything, he had already hung up.

    Ugh! Why was he so frustrating?


    The only thing that was left for her to do is to wait and hope that Skr and Henry had already left the


    building.


    If Skr saw that “Justin” hade by to pick her up once again, it was likely that she''d start


    spreading rumors. She''d holler at her for not being loyal, for hooking up with her husband''s cousin, and


    the like.


    Although Emmett''s attitude towards her had eased up recently, his brotherhood with his cousin Justin


    was even better. If they were to have caused a scandal, then there was no doubt that the man wouldn''t


    stand on her side.


    She squeezed her eyes shut. Just the thought of it was giving her an evenrger headache.


    It was a pity that her wish didn''te true. As soon as she exited the building, Henry and Skr were


    still waiting right out the entrance. It seemed that the couple really nned to wait for her.


    As soon as she stood outside, Skr lowered the car window. "Alyssa, get in. We''ll give you a lift."


    Obviously, Skr was showing off.


    Alyssa smiled. She said softly, waving her hand. "There''s no need. Why don''t you guys head out first?


    Besides, we''re going in different directions anyway, so going with you would be a trouble for the both of


    us."


    "Nonsense, you shouldn''t be polite with us." This time, Henry joined the conversation as he lowered


    down his window.


    Only when he saw her face clearly did he do a double-take. A sh of surprise appeared in his eyes,


    and he could feel himself leaning against the dashboard. When Skr had called his name out, he


    came back to his sentence and repeated himself, "Seriously, we''ve known each other for so long


    already. How about I''ll send you back?"


    He said that he was going to give her a lift before, and now, he''d want to personally send her back?


    Were her looks all that mattered to him? The corners of her lips hooked up, and her features had


    turned even more mocking. However, just as she was about to speak, she heard the car door behind


    her mming shut.


    Her entire body felt as if it was being drowned with fresh ice as soon as she saw Justin''s tall figure. He


    looked like a tiger prowling under the night, with eyes as fierce and dominating as any wild creature in


    the forest.


    Only then did Skr and Henry realize that, there was a ck Bentley parked beside them.


    Men loved their cars, and when it came to the luxurious Bentley, they were known to memorize all their


    new and old models. Henry couldn''t help but nce at the shiny hood, recognizing that it was the


    Bentley Elegance 728. Thepany had stopped its production a few years ago, so it was obvious


    that this car was custom-made.


    Usually, the price of a custom-made Bentley was hard to estimate. However, upon observing the specs


    of its interior, he could estimate that it was around 20 million RMB. The grip he had on his steering


    wheel tightened.


    He knew most of the rich kids in Herton City, but he didn''t recognize the man walking towards Alyssa.


    Emmett immediately stood by his wife''s side as he looked the pair inside the car. "Does this gentleman


    think nothing of the Lawrence Family? Do you think we''re not capable of sending someone to drive


    Young Madame Lawrence back home?"


    What? Henry froze. The man was actually from the Lawrence family?


    "You..." Everyone had said that Emmett was nothing more than a cripple. The imposing man standing


    in front of him had shown no signs of any disability whatsoever. So...who was he? Even now, Henry


    was still struggling toe up with actual words.


    "This is Emmett''s cousin, Justin." Skr said from the side.


    As soon as Henry had heard this, he sneered. "And how do you know him?"


    When the pair had spent their night together for what seemed to be the ''first time'', he saw that Skr


    was bleeding. He thought that this was her first time as well, and he had taken her virginity. However,


    only when he saw the indecent videos did he realize that the woman had only repaired her hymen. It


    seemed that the love she had felt for him was nothing more than sand, one that was easily swept up by


    the wind.


    If it weren''t for some reasons, he would''ve already dropped her.


    Suppressing the disgust in his heart, he forced a smile on his face. "Mr. Lawrence, this is all just a


    misunderstanding. I''m Alyssa''s friend. All I wanted was to give her a ride along the way."


    "Is that so?" Emmett nced at Alyssa.


    Obviously, she quickly sided with Justin. "It''s too much of a trouble for him since our directions are


    opposite of each other."


    Although Emmett’s face remained expressionless, satisfaction flickered in his eyes. "Since we''re going


    in different directions, we''ll leave firs."


    His voice had softened now, but it was still just as cold as he looked the couple in the car.


    Even when Emmett and Alyssa had gotten into the car, Henry continued to stare at their retreating


    figures.


    When did Alyssa be so beautiful?


    At first, he had suspected that she had undergone stic surgery, but it was only a few days since he


    hadst seen her. She couldn''t recover this quickly. Not even the best stic surgeon could manage


    such a thing.


    That could only mean that she was naturally pretty.


    But why didn''t she look like that before?


    Skr originally wanted to show off to Alyssa that Henry and she had reconciled, but she forgot that


    Alyssa had also changed her appearance today. From the look of Henry’s face, it was obvious that


    Alyssa had also caught his attention.


    Skr crossed her arms over her chest, shooting him a re. "What are you looking at? Even if you


    staring after her, she''s still Young Madame Lawrence!"


    "Shut up!" Henry shouted.


    …


    There was a total silence in the car.


    In the car, Alyssa grabbed her phone and texted Hazel.


    She wrote: Henry and Skr are back together again.


    Hazel: ??? Are you kidding? There''s actually a man in her family to be so impertinent and naive


    enough to ept a harlot like her?


    Hazel had been shooting a lot of ancient dramas recently, so whenever she opened her mouth to


    speak, she''d spout out a bunch of gibberish. Talking to her was like talking to a Grandma who was way


    too stuck in the olden times.


    Honestly, Alyssa suspected that Skr must''ve been holding onto Henry''s secrets. That was the only


    reason why they were forced to reunite with each other. After all, upon seeing his disgusted face, he


    wouldn''t be doing this if he wasn''t involved one way or another.


    After all, Henry was the type of man who ced a lot of weight on what other people may think of him.


    He wouldn''t willingly get back together with Skr, with the whole world knowing how she had betrayed


    him once.


    Alyssa quickly typed out her opinion, but before Hazel could reply, the car had stopped.


    Alyssa unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. When she looked up, her face immediately


    darkened as she saw Skr and Henrying in the same direction as well.


    You truly run into the people you don''t want to meet.


    Henry had seen her a mile away. But just as he was about to speak to her, Skr already pulled him


    aside.


    Even Alyssa couldn''t help but furrow her eyebrows at the sight of them. Why would the man who cared


    too much about other people''s opinions still burrow himself with a woman who was now known for her


    scandals?


    "If you don''t want to let him go, then I suggest following him in." Justin''s gloomy voice sounded behind


    her.


    When she turned around, he was already walking towards Golden Fountain Club.


    She had to run to catch up to him. He was tall, so every step he had taken was like a jog for her. "What


    the heck are you talking about? Who do you think I can''t part with?"


    "Henry."


    A shiver shot down her spine.


    "You know him?" Alyssa blinked, trying to catch up with him. A thought shed through her mind, and


    she immediately grabbed his arm.


    "Wait, you investigated my background! That''s how you know him!"
