CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 423

The salesperson had no choice but to take the money for Alyssa.

She found a change of five yuan and handed it to Alyssa. Her expression was a little stiff. "Here you are. Welcome to visit next time."

Alyssa took the money. In the blink of an eye, she saw the salesperson's hand touch her ear.

The salesperson was a young girl with short hair. When she touched her ear just now, Alyssa saw that there seemed to be something stuffed in her ear.

Thinking back to when she had just entered the mall, there were very few people in the mall.

Alyssa suddenly felt a trace of unease in her heart.

She looked at the salesperson again, turned around, and hurried out.

When she entered the mall just now, she only felt that there were very few people in the mall.

At this moment, she came out of the bakery and found that there were only two or three people in the mall. The atmosphere was unusually cold.

Alyssa walked to the stairs and planned to take the escalator down to the first floor.

Just as she stood on the escalator, she heard a crisp sound behind her.

The escalator in the mall corresponded to the elevator.

Alyssa reflexively turned her head and saw a man dressed in black walking out of the elevator towards the escalator.

The man in black also saw Alyssa.

He was wearing a baseball cap. Alyssa could not see his expression clearly, but she could feel that he was looking at her.

A strong sense of discomfort rose in Alyssa's heart.

She looked around and found that everything was quiet.

The lights in the mall were bright and the surrounding shops were brightly lit but there was not a single person.

She remembered the girl who did not look like a salesperson in the bakery. She seemed to be urging her to leave quickly.

The girl was very cautious. She probably was a policewoman!

The mall was so quiet. Obviously, someone had deliberately chased away all the customers.

They must have been clearing the place when she was buying the cake upstairs.

When she had just come in, she should have realized this.

She was specialized in writing suspense scripts, so she was not unfamiliar with such a situation.

This kind of shopping mall where people gathered suddenly chased away all the customers. It was usually for safety maintenance.

If it wasn't for the arrival of celebrities, then there would be people who wanted to do illegal activities here.

These thoughts quickly flashed through Alyssa's heart, but she did not show it on her face.

She held the cake in one hand and supported the stairs with the other. The man in black behind her also maintained the same posture as her as he took the stairs downstairs.

The man in black behind her was either a police officer or the person who wanted to commit crimes here.

The escalator went down to the first floor.

When Alyssa walked down the stairs, she pretended that she did not do it on purpose and turned back to look at that man.

The man in black was still leisurely standing on the escalator and he did not seem to be in a hurry. Alyssa was about to turn her head when she suddenly saw that the man in black took off the cap on her head and grinned at her.

He looked gloomy and crazy with that smile.

Alyssa's heart skipped a beat. She hurried forward a few steps and began to run towards the entrance of the mall.

The first floor of the mall was very spacious, but the escalator was very far from the entrance of the mall. It seemed that no matter how fast she ran, she was always far away. There was still a long way to go.

At this time, a voice came from the loudspeaker in the mall. "Lucas Baily, you are surrounded now. As long as you stop now, we will treat you leniently!"

Alyssa looked up and saw a group of police around her. She did not know when they had appeared.

The man in black behind her spoke. "Who asked you to be lenient? I want to die with you!"

Alyssa felt that the voice was right beside her ear. She turned around and saw that the man in black had taken off his coat at some point and his body was covered with explosives.

When the man in black saw Alyssa turn around, he said fiercely, "So what if you guys evacuated the crowd? There is still one person left. I will not lose out if I drag a beauty to die with me!"

As he said that, he reached out and pulled a certain thread on his body. . .

The police's voice came from the loudspeaker again. "Get down! Get down!"

Alyssa opened her eyes wide and threw the cake in her hand in the direction of the man in black. She

then swiftly turned around and rushed forward with all her might. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

A loud sound rang in her ears.

“BOOM!”

Alyssa felt that her ears were numb from the vibration and the entire world was buzzing.

"It's been six years. Rosalie is very lonely. We should go and find her."

"Let's go!"

"It's useless. I buried explosives under the entire golf course. Let's go look for Rosalie together. . ."

"Take good care of Angela. Don't bother about me. . ."

Memories suddenly surged in her mind.

The moment before Alyssa fainted, the scene of the explosion on the island three years ago flashed through her mind.

"Is she still alive?"

"Where is the paramedics?"

After a short period of noise, the world returned to silence.

--Too ugly.

- Who are you?

- You don't know who you married?

- Of course I know that I am married to Emmett Lawrence!

- Well, it turns out to be my sister-in-law. I am Emmett's cousin, Justin. You don’t want to be with an impotent man on your wedding night, do you?

The man had a pair of eyes as deep as ink. They were sharp and deep. His breath was biting cold.

--Alyssa, look at me.

- Huh?

- Do you remember what I said? If you are imprinted by me and become my woman, don’t try to escape from me for the rest of your life.

A scene quickly flashed.

--As long as you are fine, I am fine. If anything bad happens to you, it will cost me my life. . .

"Emmett!"

Alyssa suddenly opened her eyes and saw a white ceiling.

Where was she now?

Where was Emmett?

She suddenly sat up and shocked the nurse who pushed the door open.

The nurse walked over. "Are you awake? I'll call the doctor right away."

As soon as the nurse went out of the ward, Hazel rushed over.

"Nurse, is there a patient called Alyssa Moore in this ward?"

"Yes, she just woke up. I was going to call the doctor to take a look at her."

"Thank you." Hazel quickly thanked the nurse and pushed the door open to go in to see Alyssa.

Hazel walked to the bed and held Alyssa's shoulder to look at her. She asked with concern. "Alyssa, are you okay?"

Alyssa moved her hands and feet and muttered, "I think I'm fine."

"It is good that you are okay." Hazel clearly let out a sigh of relief, "But we still need a doctor to check first."

Alyssa did not listen to Hazel. She was silent for a few seconds before she suddenly looked up and asked Hazel, "Where is Emmett?"

"Ah?" Hazel had recently gotten used to Alyssa's amnesia state. Alyssa who had lost her memory was very cold to Emmett and would not normally use this kind of caring tone to ask about him.

Hazel asked uncertainly. "Why are you looking for Emmett?"

"Is he okay?" Alyssa reached out to support her forehead, "My mind is in a mess. I remember we have gone to the island to look for Dylan and bring Angela back, right? Then it seems like there was an explosion. . ."

Hazel covered her mouth and looked at Alyssa in disbelief, when she heard this.

Her tone was very soft as she tentatively asked, "Alyssa, do you remember everything?"

Alyssa frowned, "I..."

She looked down at herself. Her hands and feet were not injured and her mind was empty for a while before she continued, "Sampson saved me. . ."
