CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 231

Emmett's brows slightly relaxed, and the expression on his face softened in an instant.

He waved at Alyssa. "Come here."

Alyssa walked closer and realized that he was holding her phone.

Winston saw Alyssa in the video and called her with a smile, "Alyssa."

"Grandfather." Alyssa looked up and smiled at Winston in the video.

Emmett held the phone in front of him and said to Winston. "Alright, you are old now. Sleep early and drink more tea when you have nothing better to do. Practice Tai Chi and cultivate your body."

His tone was indifferent. It was no different from normal. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Alyssa did not know what they had talked about before and nodded in agreement. "I think Emmett is right. Grandpa, you should sleep early and exercise more."

Winston choked and waved his hand impatiently. "Okay, okay. I'm going to bed."

Before Winston could finish, Emmett hung up the video call.

His speed was so fast that it made people feel like he was perfunctory.

Alyssa felt that she had to correct him. "You should wait for grandpa to hang up first."

"He is old and his hands are slow. Waiting for him to hang up is a waste of time." Emmett's expression and tone were perfunctory.

Alyssa thought of Amelia's matter and did not try to persuade him anymore.

He knew his limits.

…

The next day.

Alyssa woke up a little late as usual.

As soon as she entered the restaurant, she saw Amelia silently carrying the dishes. The swelling on her forehead had also disappeared a little. She did not look as scary as yesterday.

Amelia carried the breakfast to the table without any expression.

Alyssa ate breakfast while sizing Amelia up without batting an eyelid.

She felt that Amelia had become strange after returning from the hospital yesterday.

She did not know exactly what was strange about her, but the most obvious thing was that she did not speak much and was still working very seriously.

Was it because she was beaten silly yesterday, or did Amelia think that being a maid was quite

interesting?

After Alyssa finished breakfast slowly, Amelia suddenly walked towards her with a look as if she had something to say.

Alyssa waved her hand and signaled the other maids to go out.

When the other maids left, Alyssa looked at Amelia. "If you have something to say, say it."

Amelia went straight to the point. "I want to go back."

"Huh?" Could it be because she had a fight with Eliza and her mind had cleared up?

Amelia's face revealed a trace of unwillingness. She took a deep breath and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, I can see that you and Emmett have a very good relationship."

When she was in the hospital yesterday, she stood by the side. As a bystander, she saw very clearly.

After Emmett came, there was only Alyssa in his eyes.

Not to mention her, even Eliza, he did not look her in the eye.

Amelia was ambitious. Occasionally, she would lose her mind because of her blind confidence, but she was also an adult with judgment.

She was an only child and had a good family background. She was born with pride in her bones. Occasionally, she would do something wrong, but she was not stupid.

Alyssa was turning her head to get a cup of water. When she heard this, she was slightly startled. She did not expect Amelia to say this.

She could not help but raise her head to look at Amelia.

Amelia did not seem to be used to being stared at like this. Her expression was a little uncomfortable as she turned her head to look elsewhere. "I just feel that Emmett likes you very much and indulges you quite a bit."

"Oh, you can even tell that." Alyssa blinked.

Amelia felt that Alyssa was a very scheming woman. At first glance, she looked pretty good. Her slow appearance did not seem to have any lethality.

But she can always stab you when you are not paying attention.

She was clearly a woman who did not have any family background and was not very outstanding, but she always had a very confident look. When she stood together with Emmett, she could not help but make people think that they were very compatible.

When Amelia saw Emmett and Alyssa standing together yesterday, it was this kind of feeling.

She felt that they were compatible and no one could interfere.

"Alyssa, I am negotiating with you today. Are you writing a script recently? You want to sell the script, right? I am a producer. I may be able to provide you with resources, and you, in the return, need to

return my employment contract to me."

Amelia felt that if she stood and Alyssa sat, it would appear that she was a level lower than her, so she sat opposite Alyssa.

Alyssa was very surprised.

Amelia being able to approach Emmett as a servant meant that she was a woman with courage.

However, she put her courage in an improper place.

Alyssa did not trust Amelia very much, but she did not know what to suspect.

"I can give you the employment contract. You can leave today. As for providing me with resources, I may not need it for the time being."

It was not that Alyssa thought too much but there were many cases of pirated drafts in this industry.

Although she was not very famous now, her script was written after spending a lot of effort.

If Amelia really wanted to trick her, she could totally start from here.

Amelia was not surprised that Alyssa would be so straightforward. "Okay, if you need anything, you can call me."

After she finished speaking, she took out the phone number that she had written earlier from her pocket.

Alyssa still picked it up.

After Amelia took off her maid uniform, Alyssa sent the driver to send her back.

Seeing Amelia leave in the car, Alyssa suddenly felt a little bored.

Luckily she could still go online.

Perhaps it was because she had been on trending search many times, Alyssa, who did not like to browse Weibo in the past, would now log into Weibo to take a look at the trending search ranking whenever she had nothing to do.

She logged into Weibo. To her, the number one hot topic was an explosive piece of news.

The words "Dylan terminates the Contract with Nine Clouds'" were hung on the topic ranking list just like that.

Alyssa clicked on it and saw that the netizens were already in an uproar.

"Is this true? The long Weibo post that the mysterious founder of Nine Clouds’ ED wrote not long ago. And now Dylan is cancelling his contract with Nine Clouds?”

"I think Dylan wants to be the boss and earn money."

“To be honest, Nine Clouds’ Media has spent the best resources on Dylan all these years. There is nothing bad about the scripts Dylan took over. If it wasn't for the fact that they were trying their best to

support Dylan, the Nine Clouds Media would have been able to create many more stars. But when Dylan has just won the grand slam, he is going to turn hostile!"

This Weibo post had thousands of likes and comments. It was very popular.

There are people who disagree with the blogger, and there are also those who agree with the blogger.

Even Alyssa saw this Weibo post and felt that what the blogger said made sense.

Dylan had been popular for the past few years but there had basically been no rumors. Just based on this point, Nine Clouds Media had spent a lot of effort.

Dylan's termination of the contract had caused great losses to Nine Clouds Media.

Alyssa, on the other hand, was thinking deeper.

Was Dylan going to terminate the contract, or was Emmett going to terminate the contract?
