CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 221

Aurora looked at Jason in disbelief and said with trembling lips, "You hit me?"

She and Jason were high school classmates. She came to Holston City from a small place to study. At that time, the Moore family had some status in the Holston City. As the young master of the Moore family, Jason was a star in the school.

Aurora had always had a crush on him, but she also knew the difference between her and Jason.

Until the death of Jason's ex-wife, she met Jason again.

Jason was immersed in the grief of losing his beloved wife, and she carefully and gently accompanied him. In addition, when she was young, she was shockingly beautiful, and promised to treat his two children well, so Jason married her.

All these years, Aurora had worked hard to please him, loved him, and loved his two children. They could be considered loving and harmonious.

They almost never quarreled.

Even if they really quarreled, Jason would occasionally coax her. He had never done anything to her like this.

"I did hit you, but so what? Look at what you've done in Moore family for so many years. You promised me that you would take good care of my two children. This is what you said about taking good care of them!"

Jason was a rare devoted man.

His ex-wife had passed away many years ago. He would worship her every year. There was still a picture of her on the desk.

He cherished the pair of children his ex-wife had left behind.

Back then, Aurora would marry him. Other than her infatuation with him, she was also moved by his rare long love.

"I have worked for you for so many years for this family. Can't you see it?" Tears had already rolled down Aurora’s eyes.

Did she pay too little for this family?

She thought that she had done her best.

"You’ve done a lot?" Jason sneered. "Then go and beg your daughter to let Skylar go! Skylar was only thinking about it for a moment. Isn't Alyssa fine?!"

Aurora had also said this before. But now that she heard it from Jason's mouth, she felt that it was so ear-piercing.

It was as if this sentence should not be said like this.

However, she could not figure out why she should not say this.

These years, she had already gotten used to being nice to Skylar and habitually felt that Alyssa should let Skylar go.

So, in her subconscious, no matter what Skylar did, Alyssa should not fuss about it.

Jason was still scolding Alyssa for not being right.

Aurora was already somewhat disheartened by his slap. When she heard him blabber on and on about this, she felt a little annoyed.

She staggered up from the ground, "I can't help you with this matter. You can think of a way yourself."

She had worked hard for so many years, but Jason did not take her efforts seriously.

She also knew that Skylar looked down on her from the bottom of her heart. She even called her a dog.

However, because of Jason, she did not care about anything.

Now, even Jason said so. She suddenly felt tired.

When Jason heard that, his expression changed. "Aurora, what do you mean?"

"Nothing." Aurora's face was swollen. She shook her head. "I just feel that it is too boring. Haha."

Her smile was uglier than crying. With half of her face swollen, she looked a little hideous and

Jason was also annoyed. He did not expect Aurora to have a temper with him at such a critical moment.

He sneered, "You eat mine and wear mine. I have treated you well, but now you are saying that you are not interested? Scram!"

Aurora's expression froze and she moved her lips. In the end, she could not say a word.

She slammed the door and left the study room. She went downstairs and ran out.

As soon as she left, a maid went to look for Jason. "Madam just ran out."

Jason was stunned. He did not expect Aurora to really leave.

He did not believe Aurora could live without him. She would come back sooner or later.

He waved his hand nonchalantly. "Ask her to leave!"

…

Aurora ran out of the Moore family. She did not bring much money with her and did not know where to go at all.

When she was young, she had a few good friends but they all came from ordinary families.

Later on, when she married Jason, she cut ties with those friends. She was busy taking care of Jason and Skylar. There was almost no social circle.

Usually, only a few wealthy ladies would interact with each other.

How could she look for them in her current state?

In the end, she thought of Alyssa.

Thinking of how Alyssa used to listen to her and treat her so well, her heart moved and she took a taxi to Emmett's villa.

Although Alyssa had said before that she would not care about Skylar's matters, she did not believe that Alyssa would not care about her.

She had gone to Emmett's villa once before and knew the location of the villa.

The taxi stopped three meters away from the villa.

Aurora got out of the car, tidied up her clothes, and walked towards the door of the villa with her head held high.

The bodyguard guarding the door stopped her.

"Who are you?"

The bodyguard's face was cold.

Aurora was a little scared, but when she thought that she was Alyssa's mother, she became more confident. "I am your young madam's mother."

Thinking about Alyssa mentioning "one corpse and two lives" on the phone, she added, "Alyssa is pregnant. As a mother, I naturally have to visit her."

The bodyguard looked at her as if he believed her but did not believe her. In the end, he threw out two words. "Wait here."

The bodyguard's tone was still cold. He walked to the side and took out his phone to call Emmett.

After Skylar attempted to kill Alyssa, Emmett was very careful now. He had told them before that if Alyssa went out, they must send someone to follow. And if someone came to find Alyssa, they had to inform him first.

The call was picked up very quickly.

"Young Master, there is a woman who claims to be Young Madame's mother. She said she came to visit Young Madame."

Emmett was in a meeting with the company's higher-ups. He glanced at them and said indifferently, "Chase her away."

"Yes, sir."

After hanging up the phone, Emmett put his phone to the side. "Continue."

Emmett had only been in Lawrence Group for less than half a month.

The Lawrence family was one of the top wealthy families in the Holston City. The businesses under the Lawrence Corporation occupied almost half of the economic market. Moreover, they had dabbled in all kinds of industries, so it was not easy for them to get started.

However, Emmett's series of actions after he arrived at the company made the upper echelons and shareholders in the company look at him in a different light.

On the other side, the bodyguard hung up the phone and winked at another bodyguard.

Aurora saw him hang up the phone and thought that he had asked Alyssa. She quickly said, "See, I didn't lie to you."

The bodyguard said coldly, "Young Madame is not here. Come back another day."

"She will come back at night, right? I can go in and wait for her first." Aurora did not intend to leave just like that.

The bodyguard did not waste time with her and directly carried her down the mountain.

At the corner of the road, he directly threw her to the side of the road.

The bodyguard's tone carried a bit of ridicule, "Not everyone can see our Young Madame."
