CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 279

The boy used brute force and Alyssa was unable to break free.

She looked up at him and coldly said, "Let go of me!"

Alyssa had a pair of beautiful cat eyes. When she smiled, she looked exceptionally fascinating. But when she was angry and looked at people, people would feel the coldness penetrating into their bones.

The boy who pulled her was still young after all. When he was being looked at coldly by Alyssa, the strength in his hands involuntarily relaxed.

Alyssa took the opportunity to pull her hand back and quickly took two steps back. She looked at him with vigilance.

The boy was probably angered by his reaction just now and scolded, “Bitch!”

As he spoke, he reached out to grab Alyssa again.

A trace of panic flashed across Alyssa's face. At this time, however, a strong man suddenly jumped out from nowhere. He walked directly in front of her and the boy and separated them.

The man punched out and directly flipped the boy onto the ground.

"Bang!"

The boy fiercely fell onto the ground, hugging his stomach in pain until he could not make a sound.

Alyssa was stunned by the dramatic scene in front of her. The man who had just blocked in front of her turned around and asked her with concern, "Madam, are you okay?"

The man spoke Mandarin.

Alyssa then realized that the man who had just helped her was from China. He looked average but his body was strong. He was a martial arts practitioner.

His martial arts skills were very strong. She had just seen his actions just now.

Alyssa's face was full of gratitude. "I'm fine. Thank you. My name is Alyssa Moore. What is your name?" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The man seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "I was just passing by. You don't need to take it to heart."

The man finished. He turned around and left.

Alyssa looked at his back for a few seconds. She felt that he was a little strange, but when she thought about what just happened, she did not dare to stay any longer and left in a hurry.

Perhaps in this world, there was indeed someone who did a good deed and did not wish to leave his name.

Alyssa went to the city center to find a five-star hotel to stay in.

She booked a room for three days and decided to stay first before thinking about what would happen next.

She probably would not stay at the place where she stayed before, but she still had to go back and get her things.

And her due date was almost up. She couldn't stay in such a remote hotel anymore. If something like that happened again, she might not have that kind of good luck again.

Alyssa quickly found an apartment near the hospital online. Coincidentally, the owner of the apartment was from China and had to go to other places due to work reasons. So they decided to rent the apartment and only rented it to people from China.

The location of the apartment was not bad. It was convenient for transportation and had all the furniture. She could rent it for a long time or a short time.

Alyssa tried to call the owner of the apartment.

After the call was picked up, Alyssa said tentatively, "Hello, I saw the news you posted online…"

The owner might be an impatient person. She did not wait for her to finish before she interrupted her. "Yes, my house is to be rented out. My ticket is for the night, I'm going out of town. If you want to check out the house, come over now."

Other than the video with Amelia and the phone call with Hazel, Alyssa had not spoken Mandarin to anyone in real life for a long time.

"Okay, I will come over right away."

Alyssa hung up the phone and confirmed the address before taking a taxi over.

The apartment was located in a busy area. The two of them met at the door. Alyssa did not have anything to worry about in a public place.

The owner was a middle-aged woman. The difference between her and the woman in the phone was that she was very gentle.

When the middle-aged woman saw her, she said directly, "Let's go take a look at the apartment first. It's a single apartment. It has all the necessary furniture. Let's see how long you want to stay."

After the owner said that, she walked in front and led the way.

Alyssa followed behind her and said, "I might not be able to stay for long."

"That doesn't matter. Anyway, I just want to rent it to the people of China to make it convenient for my own people."

"You are really a good person."

The owner smiled and didn't say anything else.

The two of them soon arrived at the apartment.

The room was well organized and decorated. It was similar to the photos Alyssa had seen on the

Internet. There was no discrepancy. It looked even more spacious than in the photos.

Furthermore, the rent of the apartment was not expensive.

Alyssa looked around the room and heard the owner ask her, "Do you think it's okay?"

"I think it is good." Alyssa smiled.

"Then do you want to rent it? I can give it to you right now and…"

Without waiting for the owner to finish speaking, Alyssa shook her head apologetically and said, "Thank you for your good intentions. This house is very good but it is not suitable for me."

After Alyssa finished speaking, she hurried out.

The owner was surprised, "Hey, what's wrong?"

Alyssa walked out of the apartment and the expression on her face faded.

When she called the owner, she did not mention that she was pregnant.

When the owner saw her, not only did she not ask anything, she did not even have an expression of surprise.

What did this mean?

This meant that the landlord had the ability to predict the future? Did she know that her tenant was a

pregnant woman with a big belly?

No, this only meant that the owner had known that a pregnant woman would want to rent such a house.

On the other words, someone had instructed the owner to let Alyssa rent the house.

And this “someone” who had ordered this happened to know that Alyssa would need a new apartment right now.

However, she did not tell anyone she knew about what happened in the past two days.

Moreover, the area where she was looking for a house was also near the hotel where she was staying. It was close to the hospital.

There were many people who knew that she was pregnant and wanted to give birth, but how many people knew that she was staying in a hotel right now?

Unless the person who arranged this behind the scenes had been sending people to keep an eye on her.

The results of this analysis made Alyssa apprehensive.

Who else could it be other than Emmett?

This middle-aged woman who wanted to rent her house was not a coincidence. What about the man who helped her previously? Was it a coincidence?

Alyssa's mind was in a mess.

For the past few months, Alyssa had tried her best to forget about Emmett. Other than occasionally going online to search for news related to Emmett, Emmett was almost completely unrelated to her life.

However, at this moment, Alyssa realized that she was thinking too simply.

Emmett...

What was he trying to do?

Did he send people to observe her every move, or did he finally do something because she was about to give birth and he wanted a child?

Alyssa felt that the possibility of the latter was very high.

Emmett was arrogant and domineering. If he really wanted to find her back, he would not allow her to stay outside for so long.

And he happened to make a move at this time. Apart from the child, what else could he want at such a coincidental time?

A smart person like Emmett would not do something without a purpose.

Alyssa pursed her lips tightly and made a decision. She would never let Emmett bring this child away from her and take him back to Lawrence family.
