Chapter 63


    Alyssa had already walked out of the vi gates, still flushing from the incident. However, just as she


    was heading over to the bus station, she heard the car engine whistle right behind her.


    Pursing her lips, she finally turned around to see that the ck Bentley had stopped right beside her.


    Its tinted windows gleamed against the bright sunlight, and she squinted her eyes.


    Soon, the window lowered, revealing Justin''s handsome but annoying face. She could feel her


    annoyance rising in an instant, and her hands fidgeted from the suddenness. What the hell was he


    doing here?


    Emmett narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice. "Get in the car. I''ll take you to work."


    "There''s no need," Alyssa rejected him directly, not wanting to be stared at again.


    If “Justin” dropped her off, she''d be susceptible to office gossip once again. After lying low during the


    weekend, she wasn''t nning to push herself back into the spotlight! She shook her head.


    However, “Justin” didn''t look that bothered. He grinned as his ink-like eyes turned dark. There was a


    mocking tinge to his words as he stared up at her. "What are you so afraid of?"


    What was she so afraid of?


    Alyssa froze at his line of questioning. Only then did she realize that she had been treating him coldly


    all this time, not because she was annoyed with him, but because she was afraid of him.


    Although she had always acted as if she hated him, she had to admit that he was quite an outstanding


    man.


    For a long time, she had regarded him as an arrogant man, who was far too obsessed with his fortune


    and status in society. But now, she realized that he was much more than that. “Justin” was a natural


    born leader, with enough confidence to conquer the mountains.


    He may be a bit of an ass, but during the times he was good to her, she could feel the genuineness in


    his actions. He was the type of man who stuck with his word, and she couldn''t help but admire him for


    that.


    “Justin” could easily move her heart if he had wanted to.


    And that was exactly the reason why she should stay far away from him.


    As she had repeatedly told herself back then, she was now ''Young Madame Lawrence''. She was


    Emmett''s wife, and that title will follow her for the rest of her life. There was no way she''d back out of


    her duties now. So she had to behave herself.


    That''s why she was so afraid of bing close to him. She was afraid that she would love him.


    Seeing that Alyssa didn''t speak for a long time, Emmett continued, "Or are you starting to have


    inappropriate thoughts towards me?"


    "Of course not!" Alyssa immediately refuted him.


    By the time she came back to her senses, she had already pulled open the car door and sat in the


    passenger seat. A red flush colored her cheeks as she turned her attention to the window beside her.


    ''This man is going to be the death of me,'' she thought.


    “Justin” didn''t bother to say anything more. Although his expression disyed no emotion, there was a


    trace of happiness out of sess hidden in his dark gaze.


    "How much is this car of yours?" She mustered up the courage to say something, suddenly feeling


    rather guilty with the entire predicament.


    "It''s not that expensive."


    Not that expensive? She blinked. Even she didn''t need to be a car enthusiast to know how rare this car


    was. Back when she was still a student, she''d see rich kids driving up to the school gate to impress


    their ssmates. Alyssa had seen plenty of sports cars and Bentleys, but not like this.


    This must''ve been really expensive.


    "The production of this car stopped a few years ago." Emmett nced at her and said.


    "I just…”


    "If you want, tter me and I can consider giving it to you.”


    When he saw Alyssa''s face changed, he realized the implication of his words.


    If he was Emmett, it would be understandable for him to give the car to her. But it would be


    inappropriate for ''Justin'' to say it to her. He turned the other way, unsure of what to say next.


    They were silent the entire ride.


    As soon as they reached thepany, Alyssa turned towards him. "Thank you."


    Although her voice was polite, there was a deep sense of alienation. ''He''s Emmett''s cousin,'' she told


    herself the entire ride as if the thought was enough to erase her softness towards him.


    Just as she had closed the door and turned around, she bumped into Skr.


    ncing at the ck Bentley behind her, Skr''s face darkened in disdain and ridicule. "You really got


    along with Emmett''s cousin, don''t you? He''s even picking you up every day. Careful, if anyone else


    were to see, you''d look like a couple."


    "We''re family, so it''s normal for us to get along well...but then again, that might not be something that


    you''re used to." Alyssa took a few steps forward to approach Skr. She lowered her voice to a


    whisper that only they could hear, "After all, I personally don''t dabble in ces like Sky Light Club.


    Instead of worrying about me, I''d say the same goes for you."


    At her words, Skr’s expression stiffened, but she quickly regained herposure. "I don''t know


    what you''re talking about."


    "All I''m saying is that you shouldn''t be going to ces like Sky Light Club." Alyssa stepped back,


    smiling brightly at her. But even her gentle face couldn''t hide her threatening voice. "After all, Dad


    wouldn''t like that."


    Although Jason didn''t love her, he still found some use with her. She was Emmett’s wife, so she was


    still of great use. If her father knew what Skr had done, he''d surely turn against her.


    They both understood that well enough.


    However, Skr wasn''t threatened that easily. "And who''ll believe you?"


    "Alyssa, do you get off work at the same time? I''lle pick you up."


    Suddenly, Justin''s voice reverberated from the roadside. Alyssa turned back and stared at him nkly.


    Although her face was impassive, her eyes held panic and usations to the man in the driver''s seat.


    However, Emmett acted as if he didn''t understand her. Instead, he stayed where he was and simply


    gazed in her direction, not bothering to leave until he heard her answer.


    Was he truly that stubborn?


    "Yes." She nodded.


    "Hm." He shot Skr a re before driving off.


    Skr shivered in fear. However, at the sight of the Bentley, even she couldn''t hide the greed in her


    face.


    If she had known that Emmett had such an outstanding cousin, she would''ve easily married into the


    Lawrence family. Perhaps “Justin” would be the one sending her to work every day.


    Remembering the ck card Alyssa had taken out that day in Golden Fountain Club, Skr’s hands


    clenched into fists. If she was the one who had been given that card, her life would''ve already been set!


    She should be the one marrying into the Lawrence family!


    Alyssa turned her head and saw Skr greedily eyeing “Justin''s” car.


    She curled her lips in mockery. "Does big sister regret giving her fiancé to me now?" She stered a


    sweet smile on her face. "But it''s useless for you to regret. Even if Emmett is willing to divorce me, he


    wouldn''t marry you even if you''re thest woman in the world."


    Although Skr''s scandals had already died down, her reputation was already ruined. Even if Emmett


    was a cripple, it would be weird for the Lawrence family to ept someone like her.


    Skr''s expression turned ugly after her thought was disclosed by Alyssa.


    But her expression quickly returned to normal. She brushed her hair and said proudly. "Please, I don''t


    want to marry a cripple like Emmett."


    What she wanted was “Justin”.

    If they were together, Skr''s life would be filled with endless possibilities.


    Alyssa was nothing more than a country bumpkin. So what if she was beautiful? In terms of satisfying


    and dealing with men, she couldn''t hold a candle towards her!


    Although Alyssa couldn''t guess Skr''s thoughts, she could tell that the woman was thinking about


    hooking up with “Justin”.


    ''It''s like flirting with a lunatic. There''s no use talking to her.'' Alyssa thought.


    However, she wasn''t going to stand by and let this bitch talk about her husband that way. Skr could


    say all she wants to her, but not to him!


    "So what if Emmett''s a cripple? You''re not any better even if you have two working legs! I suggest you


    think twice before speaking against my husband." Not knowing how else to vent her anger, Alyssa


    fiercely stepped on Skr''s foot before walking into thepany.


    "You slut!" Skr screamed, chasing after her.


    At that time, Emmett, who should have left long ago, expressionlessly stepped out behind arge pir


    from the side, staring at their retreating figures.
