CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 307

Alyssa's heart skipped a beat when she heard Henry's words.

Dylan did a DNA test, and then he began to set himself against Emmett. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

If she really wanted to guess who the other person in the DNA report was, it was easy. In fact, Alyssa had a candidate in her heart.

However, she felt that this was too unreasonable.

Henry saw Alyssa's expression change and said, "I told you it was not hard to guess. You already have an answer in your heart, don’t you?"

Hearing this, Alyssa frowned and muttered, "How is this possible?"

Henry just looked at her quietly and did not speak.

Alyssa seemed to have thought of something and turned to ask him, "How did you get this DNA test report?"

"There is no wall in this world that does not allow people to know. If you don’t want others to know it, don’t do it at the first place." Henry's expression turned slightly cold when he said this.

Alyssa recalled that Emmett had told her about Henry's background at the banquet’s night.

It was impossible for anyone to choose their own background.

Alyssa thought of Dylan.

Dylan and Emmett used to have a good relationship. However, if he knew that he and Emmett were not only cousins but actual brothers, how could he face Emmett?

That's right.

Alyssa guessed that the other person in the DNA test report was George.

Anything, as long as there was a result, there would be a trace of karma.

Alyssa remembered the things one by one.

When they returned to the old residence during the New Year, George had said that he wanted Dylan to go to work in the Lawrence Group. He also said that he wanted Emmett and Dylan to take care of each other.

And even before that, when the negative news about Dylan had spread online, George had looked for Emmett.

At that time, Alyssa could faintly feel that George's concern for Dylan was even greater than Emmett's.

If Dylan had been George's illegitimate son, then this matter made sense.

The more Alyssa thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was correct.

"It's already dark. Aren't you going to treat me to a meal?" Henry's voice interrupted Alyssa's thoughts.

Alyssa got out of the car as she spoke. "Okay, let's go out and eat. I'll drive my own car."

Just as she was about to get out, Henry stopped her and said. "Can't we go to your house to eat?"

She knew that Henry might be interested in her, so of course she could not take him to her house to eat.

Alyssa was silent and used it as refusal.

Looking at her silence, Henry laughed at himself. "It's me. If I take one wrong step, I will take every step wrong."

Alyssa did not know why he suddenly said that.

In order to show her sincerity, Alyssa found a very high-end restaurant to treat Henry to a meal.

"You are so generous. I am flattered." Henry teased her.

Alyssa smiled. "You can choose not to eat."

When she ordered, Alyssa felt that Henry had been looking at her.

She felt uncomfortable and quickly ordered the dishes. She then took out her phone and started playing.

"Emmett had told you about me, right?"

Henry's words made Alyssa turn her head to look at him.

"That's right. My mom cheated on my dad and gave birth to me with a wild man outside. I don't know who my biological father is. My existence is just a piece of cloth to cover up the fact that my adoptive father is infertile."

Although Emmett had already told her about this before, Alyssa felt complicated when she heard Henry say it in person.

Alyssa pursed her lips and said, "Hey, we are here for dinner. What did you say about these things?"

Henry stared at her and said. "Let me finish."

Alyssa did not speak anymore. If he wanted to say it, she would let him say.

"Because my adoptive father can't have children, my mother has been fooling around with other men outside. They look like they love each other on the surface but in fact they actually often quarrel. It's too easy for me to know my own background."

Since he was very young Henry had known that he was not the offspring of the Grant Family. In the future, he would not have a share of the Grant family's assets, and the people of the Grant family did not love him.

Therefore, when he was outside, he always pretended to be soft and gentle, in order to make people like him and pay attention to him.

At the same time, he was also looking for a wife with a good family background.

He knew about Alyssa’s feelings for him.

He had been enjoying the feeling of being liked by Alyssa, so he treated her well from time to time so that she would always like him.

However, she married Emmett in the end.

She married a man who was "ugly and impotent” just like his mother.

He thought of his mother, and then he began to hate Alyssa.

Among the girls who liked him, the Moore family had a good family background. Besides, Skylar was also deeply loved by Jason. So in the future, if he married Skylar, Jason would definitely give a rich dowry.

However, he did not expect Skylar's private life to be so chaotic.

When he went to school, he was very liked by girls, but among so many girls who liked him, only Alyssa had been the different one.

She had liked him with all her heart, but she hid it in fear that he would find out.

He was smarter than anyone and knew what he wanted more than anyone else, so he was very clear that he would not choose a woman like Alyssa as his wife.

Life was probably like this. If one was wrong at the first step, one would go wrong in every following step. So people always regretted when recalling.

Henry held the cup of water in front of him and said very seriously, "Alyssa, I really like you. It's just that I discovered it too late."

The more heartless a person was, the easier he or she was to be moved.

In the past few years, everything he did and everyone he came into contact with had a utilitarian purpose.

However, Alyssa had been the only one whom he had treated differently. He only wanted her to always like him.

But things had changed. At this time, when she heard Henry say these words, Alyssa's heart did not have a single ripple.

Alyssa did not want to recall her past things with him. She thought for a moment and said, "Let's not talk about the past anymore. After this meal, we are still friends."

The past could not be pursued. Once it was over, it would be over forever.

People had to look forward.

The best way to deal with the past was to put it in the past.

"Yes, everything in the past is in the past." Henry paused for a moment. "But I want you to know that I have liked you before, and I will also continue to like you in the future."

Alyssa froze when she was about to drink water.

"Emmett came to me. He said that he could help me take down Grant Group but there was a condition. His condition is that I cannot take the initiative to look for you in the future."

As Henry spoke, he paid attention to Alyssa's expression. "But I refused. His condition is very tempting, but if I accept his condition, then I cannot just sit here and say I like you anymore. Only now do I realize that there are many things in life that are more important than money and power."

Alyssa had long realized that something was wrong with Henry today.

But she did not expect that he had been holding himself back to confess to her today.
