CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Chapter 353

When Emmett heard this, he said indifferently, "That's right. They just want 50 million in cash. Back

then, they even asked for 100 million."

When Emmett heard this, he said indifferently, "That's right. They just want 50 million in cash. Back

then, they even asked for 100 million."

George was too scared to speak clearly. "That’s it. That’s it. . . They only ask for 50 million in cash. Just

give it to them."

Emmett was George’s only hope now. He could only hold on tightly to Emmett.

"Then why didn't you pay that 100 million back then?" Emmett said in a sinister voice, it sounded like a

devil crawling out of hell.

"Emmett . . . Emmett . . . I am your father. Please save me!" George's only thought at this moment was

to beg Emmett to help him.

"My mother would not have ended up like that if you had cared about your relationship with her. George

Lawrence, this is your retribution!"

Emmett's every word was squeezed out from between his teeth. After he finished speaking, he hung up

the phone with a bang

It was already dusk.

All the maids were chased out. There was no light on in the hall. It was rather dark.

In the huge living room, other than Emmett and Frank, who were standing quietly behind him, there

was only Kathleen who had fainted.

Emmett maintained his posture and sat there motionlessly, as if he was about to merge with the

approaching night.

After a long time, Frank called out worriedly, "Mr. Lawrence."

But what answered him was a long silence.

Alyssa had come down from upstairs at some point in time.

She walked over with light steps.

Seeing her figure, Frank quickly covered the arm that the kidnapper had sent over. "Mrs. Lawrence."

Alyssa looked around the room and glanced at the unconscious Kathleen. She instructed, "Help Miss

Lawrence back to her room. Let me hold down the fort here."

Frank nodded. He took Kathleen and the broken arm with him and went away.

After Frank left, Alyssa sat down beside Emmett.

The sky was getting darker. In the room with no lights on, she could not see Emmett's face clearly.

Alyssa reached out to hold his face in her hands. She turned his face around and looked at him.

"Emmett."

Emmett turned his head abruptly and held Alyssa tightly in his arms. However, he did not forget to

avoid the injury on Alyssa's shoulder that had not fully recovered.

Alyssa reached out and patted Emmett's back gently. At this time, any words of comfort were

unnecessary.

What could she say to comfort him? Some things are beyond people’s control but those are the things

which hurt people the most.

Alyssa could feel Emmett's suppressed breathing heavily spraying on her neck.

"My mother is a very gentle and beautiful woman. She is better than anyone else." Emmett's voice was

hoarse and painful.

Alyssa's eyes were wet. "I know that."

She knew how outstanding Emmett's mother, Evelyn was. Evelyn was a socialite from a high class

scholarly family. She thought she was married to a well-matched husband, but in the end, she died

miserably in such a way.

This was too unfair.

Emmett’s mother was the most innocent person, but she had to endure the most pain and humiliation.

"How could they do it?"

Alyssa could not see Emmett's face, but she could feel the helplessness and pain in his words.

After so many years, his mother Evelyn was a thorn in his heart. She planted in his heart. He would feel

pain if he moved.

Even if Emmett's mother really died in the kidnapping case that year, Emmett would not be in so much

pain.

But Evelyn was humiliated to the point that she took away her life herself. And it was planned by the

people whom she trusted the most.

As Evelyn’s son, it was inevitable that Emmett would feel pain for his mother’s sufferings.

Alyssa could not answer Emmett’s question.

There was no answer to his question.

She was not George or Frances, so she could not guess what kind of mentality they had when they did

this back then.

Even an outsider like her found it hard to accept. She could not imagine how much pain Emmett was in

right now.

She hugged Emmett tightly, her tone serious and firm. "You still have me and Angela. We will be by

your side. Our family will be reunited very soon. If Mom in heaven knows that you are happy, she will

also be happy. She loves you very much."

Just as she finished speaking, she felt a warm tear fall into her neck.

Alyssa did not dare to move and could not say anything.

She just hugged him tightly, as warm tears fall onto her body.

The next day.

Alyssa and Emmett set off to the island that Dylan had mentioned.

The small island was surrounded by the sea and had beautiful scenery. It would take them a day and a

night to travel from their country to there.

Before they left, Alyssa saw the news headline.

"George Lawrence, who was kidnapped, was found and sent to the hospital early this morning. He is

no longer in danger now."

Alyssa roughly read the news and closed the web page. She put away her phone and looked at

Emmett who was sitting opposite her.

She and Emmett sat in the hall for a long time last night. Later, she fell asleep. When she woke up

again, she was already on the plane.

Emmett was still the same as usual. He wore a tall prim suit and held a stack of documents in his

hands. His lowered brows were cold and indifferent. There was no sign of depression at all.

This man's ability to adjust himself was shockingly strong.

"Looks like I'm more attractive than breakfast." Emmett put down the documents in his hand and

looked up at her. "You have stared at me for two minutes and did not eat a mouthful of breakfast."

Alyssa was stunned for a moment. She lowered her head and took a bite of the steamed bun. Then

she said, "I did not know you had a private plane in the past."

This time, they were on Emmett's private plane.

Emmett lowered his head and continued to read the information in his hand. "If you like it, I'll buy one

for you when we get back."

Alyssa did not move after eating two buns. She did not have any appetite. She sat beside him and read

the documents with him.

Emmett was reading some information about the island, as well as the various movements of Dylan

that he had done in the past half a year.

When Dylan wrote down the address to him, apart from sending people to keep an eye on Dylan,

Emmett also sent people to make a trip to the island first.

However, other than the house and a few servants who were guarding the house, he did not find

Angela on the island.

Alyssa held the corner of her mouth and said with a worried face, "Dylan is too cunning. I keep feeling

that things will not go so smoothly."

They had all seen Dylan’s means. Dylan could do anything as long as it could hurt them.

"Do you believe me?" Emmett put down the documents in his hands and pulled her into his arms.

Emmett looked up at him and said word by word, "No matter what, I believe you."

Emmett brushed her hair by her ear and said. "Then don't think about it blindly."

Alyssa nodded and turned to look outside the window. However, the uneasiness in her heart did not

lessen.

She took a deep breath and stood up, "I will go and take a look at Miss Rosalie."

Emmett seemed to have noticed her uneasiness and did not say anything else. He only nodded and let

her go.

When Alyssa went over, she saw Rosalie sitting by the window with a tranquil and beautiful

appearance.

Alyssa called out, "Miss Rosalie."

Rosalie turned back to look at her, “Mrs. Lawrence."

"Sorry, I don't know your original name." Alyssa actually could not imagine what kind of experience a

woman would have go through when she was even willing to have plastic surgery to look like another

woman.

Rosalie's face was indifferent, "My original name is not important. What is important is that Mr.

Lawrence has helped me and my existence can help you find Young Miss."
