Chapter 208

Alyssa was angry with Emmett, so she was not soft-hearted at all. Instead, she punched him hard.

However, Emmett's expression was neither painful nor itchy. It made her feel as if she had punched
soft cotton. There was an indescribable sense of powerlessness.

In the end, Alyssa stopped and turned her head to the side. She did not speak to Emmett or make a
move.

Emmett looked at her with his eyes lowered. His expression was indifferent as he sized up her
expression without batting an eyelid.

Since the incident yesterday was exposed until now, this was the first time he looked at Alyssa so
seriously.

Her mental endurance and recovery speed were faster than he had imagined. This made him feel a
strong sense of defeat in his heart.

Alyssa was too strong and independent. This meant that her reliance on him would be greatly reduced.

Perhaps he was wrong from the start.

He grew up with Dylan and his relationship with Dylan was indeed very deep.

The second time there was something about Dylan's trending search, Emmett had indeed found out
that it was Dylan.



Although he was still willing to believe in Dylan in his heart, he was very clear-headed to know that
someone like Dylan would definitely not be muddle-headed when doing such a thing.

That was just the beginning.

What happened after was indeed within his expectations.

He did not care about Dylan's actions. He did not take the initiative to lay his cards on Dylan. He
wanted to know how far Dylan could go.

He had also expected that Dylan would use Alyssa to threaten him, but he did not expect that Dylan
could be so ruthless as soon as he made a move.

He believed that even if Dylan used Alyssa to deal with him, he would definitely be able to handle it
properly.

But he made a huge mistake.

He could handle anything properly. But Alyssa was the only one who could not.

It was as if no matter what he did, he did not think it was good enough.

Alyssa felt that the man beside her was looking at her.

She pursed her lips and turned to look at him, "You…"

Emmett held her hand at this moment. His handsome face was always cold, but his slightly taut jaw



revealed his current emotions.

He seemed to be nervous and uneasy, but when he took a closer look, he found nothing.

"Young Master, Young Madame, we are here."

Frank's voice came from the front.

Alyssa came back to her senses and pulled her hand out of Emmett's hand.

"We are here." She glanced at Emmett and got out of the car first to walk towards the villa.

Frank also noticed that Emmett and Alyssa's relationship had become somewhat stiff after this incident
was exposed.

He got out of the car and found Emmett still sitting in the car. He called out carefully, "Young Master."

Emmett raised his hand and signaled him not to speak.

Frank had no choice but to turn around and leave.

She did not come back for just one night. When Alyssa stepped into the villa again, it felt like a lifetime
had passed.

She went back to her room, changed her clothes, and took out her phone to go online.

This time, there were too many things that happened, especially related to Emmett and Dylan. The hot



topic rose again and again. If she suddenly suppressed all the news and medicinal trending searches
at this time, it would be even worse.

However, when she saw the latest medicinal trending search topic, she was completely dumbfounded.

#Xavier Comes Out#

Xavier was gay?

Alyssa was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses. She took her phone and went
downstairs to look for Emmett.

In the end, the bodyguard told Alyssa that Emmett was in the study room.

When she pushed the door open and went in, she smelled the thick smell of smoke in the study room.

"Cough."

Alyssa choked and coughed violently.

Emmett, who had his back to her, was smoking by the window. He turned around and was stunned for
a moment. He immediately extinguished the cigarette in his hand.

This was the first time she had seen Emmett smoking.

Emmett said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"



"Is Xavier gay?" After saying that, Alyssa thought Emmett was a straight man. She did not know what
"gay" meant, so she explained. "Gay means..."

"I know." Emmett interrupted her. "I asked them to buy trending searches."

"Xavier's gay trending searches? You paid for it?"

"Yes."

Alyssa was shocked.

Emmett turned around and walked to the back of the desk. He continued to explain to Alyssa, "I was
just trying to divert the attention of those netizens. He will clarify it in two days. "

His tone was so calm that there was no fluctuation in it.

Alyssa was silent for a moment and asked him, "Doesn’t Xavier have any objections?"

Emmett was also stunned when he heard that. He pondered for a moment and said, "If he has any
objections, what can he do?"

Although she knew that Emmett did this to cover up the heat of her matter, she still could not help
sympathizing with Xavier.

To be friends with a person like Emmett who ate people without spitting out their bones, Xavier must
not have accumulated any merits in his previous life.



At this time, Alyssa's phone suddenly rang.

Picking it up and looking at it, Alyssa twitched her mouth and said, "It's Xavier."

"Okay." Emmett replied and directly took her phone and hung it up.

He did not hesitate or feel guilty.

Alyssa's heart suddenly felt a little stifled.

She took a deep breath and said, "Emmett, as long as it is beneficial to you and can be used, as long
as it is useful to you, you can sacrifice anyone, be it your friend or family, right?’

The moment she said this, the atmosphere in the room instantly froze.

Emmett's expression also became gloomy. The room was filled with the suffocating pressure of the
leader.

After a long while, Emmett finally spoke in a deep voice. "Is that what you think of me in your heart? Do
you think I’m such a jerk?”

"Yes." Alyssa curled her lips and smiled mockingly.

She was not very sad, but there was a hurdle in her heart that she could not overcome.

Emmett pursed his lips. On his face was a look of imminent danger.



Alyssa thought Emmett would be angry, or he would just wave his hand and leave.

But in the end, Emmett just lowered his eyes and said, "This will never happen again."

His voice was low and calm, no different from normal, but the determination in his words moved
people.

This kind of thing would never happen again?

Would he not use her again, or would the medicinal trending searches related to her not appear again?

The suspicion in her eyes was too obvious, causing Emmett's heart to feel stifled. Anger rose from his
heart, and he walked up to her with long strides. He directly pulled her into his arms, lowered his head,
and kissed her.

He did not even close his eyes last night. It was not that he did not have time to sleep at all, but that
there was no Alyssa in this room, so he could not sleep.

He had underestimated Alyssa's position in his heart.

…

When the news of Xavier's homosexuality came out, all the major media outlets rushed to report. The
popularity kept rising.

When Alyssa scrolled through her WeChat Moments, she saw Hazel’s WeChat Moments: “Well done,



Men!”

Alyssa sent a message to Hazel, "The trending search and the news are fake. Xavier will clarify it very
soon."

Hazel only faintly replied to Alyssa, "Homosexuality is pure love. Do you want to go out with me?”

Alyssa responded, "Is the news too much for you to accept?"
