Chapter 12

Alyssa’s was disgusted by her words. Why this woman was so hostile toward her always?

“What are you talking about? It’s nonsense.”

“Nonsense? You don’t know what I am trying to say?” Skylar snorted in disdain as she crossed her
arms. “Do you dare to admit that you don’t like Jacob?”

Alyssa lowered her head and kept silent.

Skylar wasn’t wrong.

She had liked Jacob all these years.

Just as she was about to respond, Skylar suddenly exclaimed in shock. “Jacob?”

What? Jacob was here?

Alyssa nervously turned her head back and saw Jacob was indeed standing behind her.

Did he hear what they talked just now?

She looked at him nervously. However, Jacob walked toward Skylar without looking at her.

It made her sure that he had heard their conversation.

Skylar was very satisfied with this reaction. “It’s okay, Jacob. Alyssa is already married. So you don’t



need to think about anything.”

This was the normal reaction of being entangled by such an ugly and stupid woman like Alyssa. After
all which man would like such an ugly woman? The only exception to that rule was Emmett’s cousin,
Justin. She still could not understand why such a man would like to be entangled with a trash like her?

May be he wanted to try something different to seek excitement.

“You’re married, Alyssa?” Jacob turned over.

“Yes, she told me that this was the only way to succeed in life. She said if she were to marry, it would
be better to marry into Lawrences than any other family. I tried advising her that although Lawrence
family has a lot of money, marrying such a man…””

Skylar stopped talking and shook her head with a pained expression.

But Alyssa understood the meaning behind her words. Skylar was openly saying that she married into
the Lawrence family just for money. She was nothing but an ambitious gold digger.

But Alyssa understood the meaning behind her words. Skylar was openly saying that she married into
the Lawrence family just for money. She was nothing but an ambitious gold digger.

Alyssa clenched her hands tightly. They were the ones who broke the engagement. They were the
ones who forced her marry to Emmett. And now she was the one who was ambitious?

Jacob frowned and looked at Jacob with disappointment. “Anyway no matter why you married, thank
you for replacing Skylar to marry into Lawrence family.”



Skylar’s face brightened as she looked at Alyssa gratefully, “Yes, that’s right. If you didn’t take my place
to get married, I could not be able to get together with Jacob.”

Alyssa said with a gruff voice, “It’s not like that…”

Although she couldn’t be together with Jacob in this lifetime, she didn’t want to be a greedy gold digger
in front of him. Just as she was about to explain, the man waved at her and frowned.

“You don’t need to explain. I understand. Although Emmett isn’t healthy, the Lawrence family will not
treat you badly. After all they have plenty of money.”

Alyssa’s blood completely cooled down, hearing his words.

So he actually believed Skylar’s words and thought that she was a gold digger?

At this time, suddenly her phone vibrated.

She took out her phone from the bag and saw the text message. She found that the message was filled
with varieties of dish names. But there was no sender’s information.

She frowned. Who would have sent her this?

But she could make an excuse of it to leave from this place.



“I still have some work to do.” She stood up and looked at the both of them without any expression.

“She was right that I used to like you and I don’t deny it either. But it was all in the past, now I won’t
have anything to do with you. And for why I married to Emmett, nobody knows it better than Skylar.
Now it depends on you, whether you believe or not.”

The only reason she was fond of Jacob was that he was the only one who didn’t dislike her and didn’t
use her ugliness to bully her.

But now it seemed that she expected a lot.

Otherwise, they had known each other for so many years. Didn’t he know what kind of person she
was?

But why was she so surprised? This was not like the first time she was questioned by someone.

When her own biological mother, Aurora, didn’t intend to believe her, Jacob was still an outsider.

But she still couldn’t help but feel a little sad. Did he really think so low of her?

“If there is nothing, I will leave.” After saying that, she left the dining room without hesitation.

Just as she was about to close the door, she heard Jacob say, “I used to think she is a pure and
innocent girl. But I didn’t expect she would be… It seemed like I didn’t know her at all.”

Skylar pretended to be helpless again, “I also didn’t expect for money she would be lower herself to this
level.”



Alyssa clenched her hands and pursed her lips tightly, and left the restaurant without looking back.
Staying here would only give her criticism and hatred.

The mobile phone in her pocket rang again. Without looking at it, she answered the phone.

A familiar deep voice pounded her eardrum, “Pack up all the dishes in the message and bring them
back.”
