CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Chapter 331

Frances's expression changed slightly as her voice turned cold, "Miss Moore, you are being

unreasonable."

"Is that so? I think Madame Backer is being unreasonable." Alyssa looked up at Frances and her

expression looked a little cold. "I don't know how you think of your son, but I treat Justin as my younger

brother and our relationship is simple. If it wasn't for Dylan looking for me, I would not even know that

Justin’s father passed away. At this time, as a wife and mother, you don't seem to be very sad. And you

actually have the mood to look for trouble with me. It's really rare."

The mockery in Alyssa's tone was very obvious and Frances could also hear it.

Frances's expression changed again and again but she still did not say anything excessive. "Let's talk

about the matter. Don't get involved in anything else."

Alyssa's face was cold, "Then don’t talk about anything."

"You..." Frances pointed at Alyssa unable to say anything. She was so angry that she was slightly out

of breath, "I finally know why Emmett divorced you. A woman like you who is unreasonable and

uncultured is not worthy of a man like Emmett."

Alyssa had been suppressing her emotions in the Lawrence family for too long. The worse others

treated her, the calmer she became. "You are reasonable. You are cultured. So you can go back and

tell Justin to cut off all contact with me. Let's see if he agrees."

Frances was really angered by Alyssa this time. She called out loudly, "Alyssa Moore!"

"Don't you think you are very reasonable? If you are doing this for Justin’s goodwill, you must go back

and tell him to cut off contact with me in the future. Tell him not to come out with me to play, so as not

to affect his studies."

Frances was clearly here to look for trouble. How long had it been since she had asked Justin to come

out to play with her?

Moreover, Justin himself was a strong-willed child. He was well aware of his studies and whatnot.

Frances naturally would not go to Justin to say these words. Originally, there was still a

misunderstanding between the two of them. If Frances went to Justin and said these words, Justin

might dislike her even more.

That was why she came to find Alyssa.

Alyssa's words made her unable to refute. In the end, she could only point at her and scold, "Too

unreasonable!"

Alyssa turned her head and looked at Frances with interest, "Madame Backer finally can't help herself

but start scolding me?"

Frances was so angry that she waved her hand and left.

Alyssa looked at Frances’s back as she left while scolding and her expression turned cold bit by bit.

She felt that Frances was simply baffling.

Could it be that because Justin ignored Frances during the day and he came to play with her that

Frances was jealous? So Frances came to find trouble with her?

Although this statement made sense, she still felt that it was not reliable.

The sudden sound of car horn brought Alyssa’s thoughts back. Her taxi had arrived at this time.

She got into the taxi and was still thinking about what had happened before.

She remembered that night on New Year's Eve, she saw Frances and George sneaking into a room. At

that time both of them looked very suspicious and seemed to be hiding something.

Thinking about it now, it might be something related to Dylan.

After all, the matter of Dylan being George's illegitimate son was not something that could be exposed

to the public.

Initially, Emmett went to Country M to confirm Dylan's background. But in the end, Richard got into a

car accident.

But why did they want to harm Alfred?

Among the few grandsons, although Alfred loved Emmett the most, he was also good to Dylan and

others. He would give them whatever they needed without any question.

Even if he knew that Dylan was George's illegitimate son, he wouldn't do much.

Dylan had just turned from a real grandson to an illegitimate grandson. Although Alfred would be angry

for hiding the truth from him, he would definitely accept Dylan.

Alyssa felt that Alfred's matter was still very strange.

On the way, she asked the driver to drive straight to Emmett's house.

She needed to make some matters clear with him.

Emmett came back very late as usual.

However, Alyssa did not fall asleep this time. She had been waiting for him in the living room.

When Emmett came back, Alyssa was sitting on the sofa and watching a variety show in the living

room with her phone.

Hazel was the guest of that show.

The audience was saying that Hazel performed very well in the variety show.

Emmett opened the door and came in. When he saw Alyssa sitting on the sofa, he was stunned for a

moment and then walked over in big strides.

The sofa was leaning against the door and Emmett’s footsteps were light. He walked over and placed

his hands on the back of the sofa. He leaned to the side and kissed Alyssa. There was a trace of joy in

his voice. "Do you missed me after not seeing me for two days?"

“You are here.” Alyssa turned off the video and put her phone to the side. She looked at Emmett and

patted the seat beside her. "Come and sit."

Emmett walked around and sat beside her. He took her hand and said slowly, "What do you want?"

"I saw your aunt today. This reminds me of what happened on New Year's Eve. I saw her and your

father sneaking into the room, but I didn't hear what happened. Now that I think about it, I think they

were probably talking about Dylan."

Alyssa paused and looked up at Emmett.

Emmett touched her head. There was no emotion on his face. He said in a deep voice, "Continue."

Alyssa continued, "The next day something happened to Grandpa. If it was just because of Dylan,

there would be no need for them to do anything to Grandpa. There must be something else."

Emmett's dark eyes were deep. No one could see what he was thinking.

Alyssa pulled his hand. "What do you think?"

After a while, Emmett said, "Do you think they attacked grandpa because of Dylan’s matter?"

Alyssa thought about it and said, "Theoretically, you can say that, but I don't think this reason is valid.

What happened to Grandpa is still very strange."

After Alyssa said that, she fixed her eyes on Emmett.

She wanted to know his thoughts about this.

Emmett turned his head and poured himself and Alyssa a glass of water before saying slowly, "Have

you never thought that they caused Grandfather's accident not only to deal with Grandfather, but also

because they discovered you on New Year's Eve and thought that you noticed their secret, so they

framed you?"

Hearing this, Alyssa was stunned and did not reach out to take the water that Emmett passed to her.

She always thought that they wanted to deal with Alfred and framed her at the same time.

After all, she was the only person in Lawrence family who did not have the surname Lawrence. She

was the most suitable person to frame.

Alyssa recalled that the people from the Lawrence family wanted to send her to prison at that time. If

she was also the person George and the others wanted to deal with, would she be able to come out of

prison alive?

Her outcome might be worse than Alfred’s.

A chill rose from the bottom of her heart, spreading all over her limbs.

Alyssa shook her head and her voice was slightly hoarse. "But I did not hear anything that night."

Emmett just touched her head in silence.

What he did not finish was that there was another reason why George and the others would think of

such a method to deal with Alyssa. And that was they wanted to test Alyssa's position in his heart.

If he had protected Alyssa with all his strength at that time, and once George and the others realized

the importance of Alyssa to Emmett, George and the others might have thought of a way to attack

Alyssa directly.

And what would have happened after that, Emmett did not dare to think.
