CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Chapter 352

Hearing this, Kathleen's expression instantly changed as she cried out in shock, "Dad? Is it really you?"

Hearing this, Kathleen's expression instantly changed as she cried out in shock, "Dad? Is it really you?"

After she finished speaking, she looked up at Emmett and said hurriedly, "Emmett, it’s from Dad."

“Oh.” Emmett said with an indifferent expression as he walked over and sat down on the sofa opposite

her.

Kathleen saw Emmett coming over and thought that Emmett wanted to listen to George, so she turned

on the speaker.

George's voice came from the phone. It sounded like he was much panicked. "Kathleen, I was

kidnapped. They want 300 million. They can let me go as long as they get the money. Please help

daddy to get the money. . ."

Before George could finish his sentence, the phone was snatched away by someone. The voice of the

person who spoke was strange and hoarse. It was obvious that the kidnapper had used a voice

changer. He said "You have 24 hours. If I can’t get three hundred million within 24 hours, you will not

see this old man again. Just wait to pick up the pieces of him! Remember, do not call the police."

Kathleen quickly said, "Okay, okay, okay. Three hundred million. I understand. I will definitely raise

three hundred million. Don't hurt. . ."

Before she could finish her sentence, the phone was hung up.

Kathleen heard the blank sound from the other end of the phone and turned to look at Emmett. "Dad is

really kidnapped. If I didn't come back coincidentally and received the call from the kidnappers

accidentally, you didn't plan to tell me or didn't plan to save Dad, right?"

Kathleen sounded very agitated. "Emmett, why are you so cold-blooded? No matter how much grudges

you have with him, he is still our biological father!"

Emmett's expression did not change when he heard Kathleen's accusation.

He leaned against the sofa while looking at Kathleen and said to Frank. “Did you hear that? She wants

300 million to save her father. Hurry up and arrange it."

"Yes." Frank replied and went out.

"Emmett, I was just too worried about Dad." Kathleen did not expect Emmett to agree to give her three

hundred million yuan so easily. She softened her tone and said.

Emmett only hooked his lips and did not say anything in reply.

At this time, Justin walked in with his backpack on his back.

Justin had gone to a boarding school this semester. It was a very strict school under military

management. He had to hand over his phone to the school. It was not until today's holiday that he

came to know about the news.

"Cousin, cousin!"

As soon as Justin walked in the hall, he saw Kathleen and Emmett sitting on the sofa. "I saw on the

news that uncle was kidnapped. Is it true? And you even found Sister Rosalie!"

When Kathleen heard Justin mention the name Rosalie, she turned to look at Emmett and asked, "Who

is Rosalie?"

Emmett ignored Kathleen’s question and stood up. He looked at Justin with a serious expression.

"Come with me. I have something to tell you."

"Cousin, what happened?" Justin frowned not quite understanding what Emmett was doing.

Alyssa had been on the news a lot before, so in Justin's subconscious, he felt that most of the things

mentioned in the news were fake.

Emmett took Justin to the study room. He passed Frances's medical evaluation to Justin and said,

"Take a look at this first."

Justin looked at Emmett and took the file from Emmett’s hand. As soon as he opened the file, he saw

the name ‘Frances Lawrence’ written on it. He was stunned for a moment before continuing to read.

When he read the whole fine, he was completely silent.

Emmett did not say anything to comfort him. He only used a very calm tone to tell him, "Aunt loves

Uncle very much. She has not been in a good mental state recently. It was only when a maid found out

that she wanted to commit suicide by hitting the wall that we realized the seriousness of the matter. We

sent someone to take her to the hospital."

Justin raised his head to look at Emmett. His eyes were red. "Where is she now?"

Emmett noticed Justin clenching his fists.

But his eyes were still calm and cold as he said. "Her emotions are not stable. I asked someone to take

her to the hospital. There are professional doctors in the hospital. I believe it will help her condition. You

can go to see her when you have time."

It was rare for Emmett to have the patience to talk so much to anyone other than Alyssa.

To him, Justin was different from the rest of the Lawrence family.

Just like what Winston had said, Justin was a sincere child. Emmett had accompanied him since Justin

was a kid and watched over him as he grew up. In the end, he could not bear to tell Justin the truth.

The things about Frances and George. . .

And Richard's death. . .

Just let these cruel truths be secrets.

Justin wiped his tears. "Thank you, cousin. As for what happened to uncle. . ."

Emmett interrupted Justin before he could finish. "That's our business. You don’t need to care."

Emmett let someone to send Justin to see Frances and then sent him back to school.

There were so many things happening in the Lawrence family these days, so it was better for Justin to

stay in the school.

After arranging these things, Emmett sat in the study for a while before leaving.

Looking down from the second floor, Emmett saw that Kathleen was still waiting for the phone in the

hall on the first floor.

Emmett turned around and returned to the room. Sure enough, he saw Alyssa leaning against the bed

in a daze. She was lost in thought.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Alyssa raised her head to look at him. "You're back."

In just a short week, Alyssa had lost a lot of weight. Her chin was even sharper and her face was even

paler.

Emmett reached out and pinched her chin with his fingers. He did not dare to exert any strength and

said with a sullen face, "If you continue to lose weight like this, I will not take you there."

"Emmett." Alyssa's expression changed slightly when she heard this and she pulled his hand.

Emmett did not react. Instead, he said something else, “Justin is back."

Alyssa's expression froze for a moment. "You. . ."

It was as if he knew what Alyssa would ask, Emmett said, "I did not tell him anything."

Alyssa nodded her head.

She thought that Emmett and Dylan were destined to be different.

After Dylan found out about his background, he only thought about how to drag others to suffer the

pains together with him. But Emmett was different. Even after learning about Frances’s vicious actions,

he did not have the heart to let Justin know the truth.

They were not born to be the same kind of people. Therefore, no matter what methods Dylan used, he

could not turn Emmett into someone like him.

Frank helped Kathleen to raise three hundred million yuan.

Halfway through, the kidnapper called again and said that he wanted more cash and gold bars.

Emmett did not say anything and instructed Frank to do it.

The kidnapper called again and by this time Kathleen had already lost her patience because of them.

"Will it be okay this time? We have prepared everything you asked for."

However, the kidnapper seemed to be having fun. "How about this, add another 50 million in cash and

I'll let that old man go!"

Kathleen did not expect the kidnapper to increase such an extra amount at the last minute. So she tried

to deal with them. "Didn't we make an agreement last time that. . ."

But the kidnapper did not give her any leeway. "Before the sunset, if I don’t get the money, I will get

someone to send one of his hands over."

“Hey, listen. . .” Kathleen shouted over the phone but what answered her was beep the sound.

Once the kidnapper hung up the phone, Kathleen ran to Emmett and said, "Emmett, what should we do

now?"

Emmett said indifferently, "Their greed will only get bigger and bigger. They won't be satisfied no matter

how much you give. The only option is call the police."

Kathleen also felt that what Emmett said was reasonable. The kidnapper was sure that they did not

dare to call the police, which was why he asked for an exorbitant price.

However, they had just called the police, before it was dark, they received an anonymous parcel which

contained one of George's arms.

Looking at the long arm which was still wearing a suit sleeve and the blood gushing out of it, Kathleen

was so scared that she fainted.

The kidnapper called them again at this time.

Emmett glanced at Kathleen who was lying on the ground, unconscious and picked up the phone.

George's frightened voice sounded from the other end of the phone. "Emmett, all they want is just 50

million in cash. Please, help me, I don't want to die!"
