Chapter 169
When Alyssa heard what he said, she immediately pushed him away: “No, I want to go.”
She knew that Karl didn’t want her to go on a business trip.
Karl didn’t speak, and just stared at her with deep eyes. There was no other emotion in his eyes, but Alyssa felt that his eyes seemed to be a bit resentful.
“I’ll be back in a week…” Alyssa curled her lips, thinking that she might have misunderstood the meaning in his eyes.
Karl was not so crooked, he was only on a business trip for a week.
“Yeah.” Karl replied and took her hand: “Let’s go eat.”
…
As soon as he returned to the room at night, Karl threw Alyssa on the b3d: “Give you the right to choose, do you want to finish the work for the next week now, or compensate me when you come back?”
Alyssa: “…”
She didn’t want to choose.
Alyssa snorted and sat up with her arms on her arms before going to the bathroom.
It is impossible for her to agree to such an unfair and unreasonable thing.
In the end, she was crushed by Karl-once in the b@throom, she went back to bed and struggled for a while before letting her go.
She was woken up by Karl the next morning.
“Time to wake up.”
She opened her eyes and saw Karl’s neatly dressed appearance, unlike the evil man in the bathroom last night.
Alyssa was so sleepy that she was already awake, her voice was still hoarse as she just woke up: “What time?”
“Six o’clock.” Karl had finished washing, and his voice was as usual.
At six o’clock, eating and washing for half an hour, and going to the airport for more than an hour, Karl pinched well at this time.
Alyssa closed her eyes, drowsy calculating the time, and wanted to go to sleep.
Karl used his deep and pleasant voice to add fuel to her ear and said, “If you don’t want to get up, then go to sleep.”
When he said this, Alyssa immediately woke up.
Karl tossed her like that last night, and woke her up so early, obviously he didn’t want her to go on a business trip.
insidious!
Alyssa gritted her teeth and sat up, muttering, “Insidious!”
Karl’s eyes flashed slightly, and he didn’t say much.
…
He personally drove Alyssa to the airport.
The two met with Douglas there.
This was the second time Old man has seen Karl after he came back.
Douglas spoke first: “Just let the driver come or not. You also sent Alyssa to the airport, which is too much trouble for you.”
Hearing this, Karl glanced at Alyssa: “It’s okay anyway.”
Alyssa’s face was calm, and she couldn’t help but complain about Karl.
Obviously busy to death, but still calmly said nothing.
Douglas nodded slightly, as if not intending to say more.
However, Karl spoke again at this moment: “Travelling to another city, and bothered Mr. Hunt to take care of my wife.”
In front of outsiders, he seemed to have always had this cold expression that seemed indifferent to emotions, but he couldn’t hide the threatening elements in his tone.
Even Alyssa can hear it, let alone Douglas.
Douglas’s complexion froze for a while, and then calmly said: “Alyssa is my granddaughter, this is natural.”
When Karl heard the words, he just curled his lips, not smiling.
Douglas turned his head and said to Alyssa, “Let’s go.”
Alyssa pushed the luggage inside, and did not forget to turn around to make a call to Karl.
She will call him when she arrives in the other city.
Karl was dressed in a luxurious custom-made suit, coupled with a slender figure, standing in an airport where people came and going, it seemed to shine, especially the attention of the shadows, a little arrogant, and a little lonely.
Alyssa looked back at him several times before walking towards the security check.
At this time, she noticed that Douglas’s complexion was very poor.
It must have been threatened by Karl just now, and his old face couldn’t hold back.
Although Karl told Douglas to take care of her, she still knew how to help Douglas with his luggage.
Douglas did not bring his assistant and secretary, so Alyssa had to take care of him.
Seeing Alyssa pulling the suitcase in his hand, Douglas couldn’t help turning his head and glanced at her.
Alyssa smiled back.
She had hardly been alone with Douglas, and it was a bit embarrassing now.
Fortunately, Douglas didn’t mean to talk to her more. He also took a rest after getting on the plane.
…
Two hours later, the plane landed at City International Airport.
The hotel sent a car to pick them up.
Alyssa turned on the phone and found two missed calls from Karl.
She replied a message with Karl: Just got off the plane.
About two seconds later, she received a reply from Karl with a simple “um”.
As soon as she put down the phone, she heard Douglas say: “I’m going to a dinner in the evening, I’m fine in the afternoon.”
As soon as Douglas got in the car, he closed his eyes to rest up his mind. He also closed his eyes when speaking.
When they arrived at the hotel, Alyssa took a bath first, plunged into the bed and slept dimly.
It was already afternoon when she woke up.
She dialed the hotel’s delivery number before going to see her cell phone.
There is only one unread text message from Karl: send me the hotel address.
Alyssa imagined Karl sitting in the office, frowning and editing text messages with her mobile phone, and couldn’t help but laugh.
She felt that she was like a daughter who went out to work, and Karl was like an old father who was worried about his daughter, and actually asked her to send him the hotel address.
Although this analogy is a bit funny, Alyssa still sent him the hotel address.
…
In the evening, Alyssa accompanied Douglas to the dinner.
Those who came to the dinner were all old men, and it was clear that they had a good relationship with Douglas.
After a few days, Alyssa figured it out, where Douglas was on a business trip, and it was clear that he was here to make contact with the old men.
The reason why he took Alyssa instead of Isabel was probably that he also knew that Isabel was too arrogant and presumptuous, and it was easy to cause trouble when he brought her here.
When Douglas introduced, he said, “This is my little granddaughter.”
Then someone joked: “There is a kid in my family too, hit in-laws!”
Douglas shook his head: “This is not good, my granddaughter is already married.”
“Who is so blessed to marry a good-looking granddaughter like her?”
“Adams’ family.”
In this way, everyone knew that Alyssa was Adams’ young lady.
She felt a little uncomfortable.
Douglas not only came to make contact with the old, but also earns face for himself through Alyssa’s identity as “Mrs. Adams”.
After all, he has been abroad for many years, and his relationship with these old friends has faded.
But if he has a granddaughter who is married into Adams house as a young wife, no matter how weak these people have a relationship with him, they will give three points of face.
Chapter 170
After understanding this, Alyssa’s expression became even more cold.
When those old men talked to Alyssa, Alyssa also responded faintly, not warm.
The older people sometimes cared about their faces, some of them looked down on Alyssa.
The meal was not pleasant.
After the dinner was over, Alyssa and Douglas returned to the hotel together.
The two did not speak all the way back. When they arrived at the hotel and took the elevator, Douglas suddenly said, “Alyssa, don’t think I am using you. Everything I do now is for the family.”
Douglas’s words completely stood on the commanding heights of morality.
For the family.
——Your sister deserves better.
——Don’t forget that you are also from the Hunt’s family.
——I am for the Hunt family.
When everyone uses her, they have their own reasons.
But what about her?
She deserves to be used by them, is she confessed by them?
Alyssa turned her head to look at him, her white face was full of cold expression, under the shining of the incandescent light in the elevator, it became more and more cold.
She fixedly looked at Douglas: “But the injuries I have suffered since I was young are all thanks to Hunt’s family.”
Hearing this, Douglas’s face suddenly tightened, and his expression became more complicated.
As Karl said, Douglas is a smart person, and she doesn’t need to bother to talk to him.
After a while, Douglas said aloud: “Your father and your sister used to be confused. Those things won’t happen again.”
Ding–
Upon reaching the selected floor, the elevator opened.
Alyssa took the lead and went out: “Isabel is looking for someone to kill me, is that just a fool?”
After that, she was about to leave, suddenly remembering something, turned her head to look at Douglas, and said quietly, “Grandpa, I have always been puzzled about something.”
Douglas frowned slightly, his face was stern, probably because of the influence of her previous words, his complexion was not very good.
“Back then, why did the Adams’ family agree to let Isabel and Karl be engaged? Even if Karl is really a disfigured and impot3nt man, he can still find a woman who is better than Isabel as a daughter-in-law.”
Alyssa’s small skills may be able to deceive Colin, but in front of Douglas, those small skills are unnecessary.
Since Douglas could easily find out that she let the reporter go to the factory to take pictures, it is naturally difficult to deceive him for other things.
It’s better to say it directly.
An extremely sharp light flashed across Douglas’s eyes, and then he said in a cold voice, “This has nothing to do with you. Just be your own Mrs. Adams. No matter how much you hate your dad and your sister, they are all yours. Your relatives, the blood in your bones belongs to the Hunt’ family.”
This is not the first time Alyssa has heard such words.
She didn’t expect Douglas to answer her question, but she couldn’t help laughing out of such a statement.
Immediately, she said coldly: “Hematopoietic is the heart, can you make my heart become Hunt’s?”
Douglas’s complexion suddenly changed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Alyssa left with a smile.
Douglas and Karl are a bit like, both are people who are used to controlling others.
It’s just that Douglas’s desire to control is on the surface, while Karl’s is calm but extremely powerful.
…
After attending the dinner with Douglas during the days, Alyssa was already tired physically and mentally.
Douglas expected to go back the day after tomorrow, and Alyssa didn’t want to stay too long, so she wanted to go back tomorrow.
She opened the suitcase and was about to pack up, and she received a call from Karl.
“Just back to the hotel?”
“Yeah.” Alyssa sat down next to the bed, and the events of the past few days still affected her a little bit.
After Karl was quiet for a while, she heard him suddenly ask, “What happened?”
He probably noticed that Alyssa’s mood was wrong, and his voice was involuntarily lowered a lot.
Alyssa felt warm and said, “It’s okay, I just want to go back a bit.”
“Back tomorrow?”
“Well, tomorrow.”
“I’ll pick you up.”
After talking to Karl on the phone for a while, Alyssa felt that her mood had improved a lot, quickly sorted things out, and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, she ignored Douglas and left the hotel for the airport.
She is really tired of those people and things in the Hunt family.
Sitting on the plane, Alyssa sent a text message to Karl and turned off the phone.
Thinking of seeing Karl in two hours, there was a slight jump in her heart.
When she got off the plane, she left the airport and turned on her mobile phone to find that Karl hadn’t returned a text message to her. Instead, there were several dull missed calls.
“There?”
Someone behind her was calling her.
Alyssa thought she had heard it wrong and didn’t care, until someone patted her on the shoulder. When she turned her head, she saw Gerald.
Alyssa was a little surprised: “Big Brother?”
After talking about the banquet before, Alyssa was not so repulsive to Gerald.
Gerald wore a long concealed coat with a white turtleneck sweater inside. His hair was not well managed, and his hair fell softly. The whole person looked warm and friendly.
His eyes fell on the suitcase beside Alyssa: “Where are you going?”
“I just came back from a business trip from another city.” Alyssa realized that Gerald had no assistants, agents, and suitcases beside him: “Where are you going?”
“I only came back when from another place after recording the show. I couldn’t buy a plane ticket temporarily. They took the next flight and came back.” Gerald looked around for a while: “Didn’t Karl come to pick you up?”
“He may not be here yet, I have to call and ask.”
At this moment, Alyssa’s mobile phone rang a new text message alert tone.
It was a message from Karl: “Something happened temporarily, I will let Smith pick you up.”
The expression on Alyssa’s face paused slightly, and the word “um” was returned to Karl.
This small change in her expression did not escape Gerald’s eyes: “There will be a traffic jam again when I go back later. If Karl hasn’t come yet, I can drive you back.”
Alyssa nodded: “Then trouble big brother.”
Gerald took out a mask and put it on, reached out and carried the suitcase in Alyssa’s hand: “Come with me.”
Alyssa wanted to say that she could mention it herself, but Gerald had already gone far, so she had to follow.
Feeling that the girls passing by were looking at Gerald, she suddenly remembered that Gerald was a celebrity, in case he was recognized…
So she slowed down and deliberately fell behind Gerald by a certain distance.
Gerald put Alyssa’s luggage in the car and saw Alyssa sneaking over here like a thief, and he couldn’t help but smile: “You look like a concealer, it looks more suspicious.”
