CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 188

Alyssa heard what Xavier said and turned her head to look at Emmett.

Although she didn't know when Winston persuaded Emmett to go back to the Lawrence Group, she understood what Xavier said.

She looked at Emmett for a while, then slowly said, "You actually planned to return to the Lawrence Group a long time ago? You just didn't agree to grandfather's request. You deliberately made him to come to me to persuade you, right?"

Without waiting for Emmett to speak, she continued, "This way… Grandfather will have a whole new level of respect for me."

Alyssa paused for a moment before saying the last few words.

Emmett looked at Alyssa with interest. "Continue. What else?"

"How did you know grandpa would come and ask me to persuade you?" When she and Emmett returned to Lawrence’s Mansion, although Winston did not dislike her, he did not really like her.

After all, Winston had lived a glorious life and had seen all kinds of people. She was just a little girl. If it wasn't for the title of Emmett's wife, he wouldn't have given her a serious look.

And Emmett's words confirmed Alyssa's thoughts.

"If he didn't look for you, could it be that he asked his son to persuade me?" Emmett narrowed his eyes. His tone was so calm that it did not sound like he was talking about his father. He was just talking

about an unrelated person.

It did sound like that.

Winston naturally knew that Emmett and George had a bad relationship. In comparison, Alyssa was closer to Emmett.

Winston had come to find her because there was no one else around.

Thinking about this, Alyssa's heart felt a little strange.

She sighed and said, "So that's how it is."

Emmett could not help laughing. He reached out and lightly rubbed her hair. "Actually, I was not very happy to go back to the Lawrence Group. It's just that grandfather was sincere to this extent. He came to my house, so I could only agree."

In fact, going back to the Lawrence Family at this critical moment was both suitable and not suitable.

He had found some clues about his investigation. If he went back to the Lawrence Group now, it would take him some effort to investigate those things again. He had to be more careful.

On the other hand, the Lawrence Group was their family business. Almost all the people of the Lawrence family worked in the Lawrence Group.

If his mother's matter back then really had something to do with the Lawrence family, In that case, his

return to the Lawrence was also an opportunity that would make it easier for him to investigate the Lawrence family.

There were many complicated things among them that Alyssa could not think of at the moment.

Although she said she wanted to help Emmett, she actually did not know much about these things.

When Emmett spoke, his arm was on the back of the sofa behind Alyssa. The two of them sat very close and did not have any intimate movements. However, the atmosphere between the two of them was so harmonious that no one could interfere.

As a person who did not have a lover, Xavier looked at them and felt very conspicuous. "Alright, alright. Don't be so close. This is annoying. Let's continue talking about the trending search this time."

Ever since Hazel said those words that time, Xavier had not met her much.

Occasionally when they met in the company, Hazel also acted as if she did not know him and hurriedly left.

Xavier, on the other hand, wasn’t as overbearing and unreasonable as Emmett to carry her home.

Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t.

Because his situation was different from Emmett's.

Hazel's tone that day was too decisive. Xavier knew her too well. It was precisely because he knew her that he was afraid.

The more scared he was, the more careful and cautious he was and the less daring he was to act rashly.

When he really could not hold it in, he would secretly go to Hazel's shooting place and take a look from afar. He would feel satisfied.

But this kind of satisfaction turned into anxiety and dissatisfaction after seeing how intimate Emmett and Alyssa were.

Xavier shook his head and withdrew his thoughts. "I think it is either a company that is hostile to us. I suspect that it might be Hazel's former boss. They wanted to poach Dylan in the past."

Hazel's former boss had always been a competitive relationship with Nine Clouds Media. They had even tried to poach Dylan.

However, this was simply wishful thinking. Putting aside the relationship between Dylan and Emmett, any artist who cared about their future would choose Nine Clouds.

Although Hazel's previous boss was one of the few big companies in the entertainment industry, it was still not as big as the Nine Clouds Media.

After Xavier finished speaking, he saw that Emmett did not speak, so he lifted his chin and asked, "Emmett, what do you think?"

Emmett's expression was hard to tell. He pondered for a moment and said, "You can investigate in this direction."

He seemed to have thought of something. "Haven’t you contacted with Dylan yet?"

"No. That place is very desolate. We didn't agree to let him go at first. But he insisted on going. He didn't even have a signal. He can't come back for the time being."

Xavier felt a little angry when he talked about this. “Dylan is usually a good person to talk to, but when he meets something he really wants to do, he is stubborn like a bull. No one can pull him back." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Emmett frowned and did not say anything.

After a while, he said, "It doesn't matter if you can't contact him. Just leave it to the public relations department. It would be best to solve it within 12 hours."

"But if he can clarify it, it would be even better." Although Xavier also felt that Emmett was right, it would be best if Dylan could clarify it. Things would become simpler.

"It's useless." Emmett's expression darkened. "Right now, the public opinion on the Internet isn't targeting Dylan, but the Nine Clouds Media. If Dylan goes out to clarify at this time, it will undoubtedly make them think that the Nine Clouds Media is forcing Dylan."

Alyssa frowned when she heard that. It seemed like no matter what, it couldn't stop those people from talking.

Alyssa frowned when she heard this. No matter what they did, they could not clarify those rumors.

Xavier could not help but curse. "What else can we do?"

"It has been three hours since the incident happened. The internet is still spreading the news. I believe that in a few hours, netizens will start to dig up the dark history of the Nine Clouds Media. No matter if it's true or not, they won't care. In the end, the Nine Clouds will be the one to lose."

Emmett analyzed calmly. There was not a trace of panic on his face.

Xavier had been under a lot of mental pressure recently. When he heard what Emmett said, he felt discouraged. "This is not the first or second time. It is just that this time, Dylan and Alyssa are involved. It is a little troublesome."

"Do what the Public Relations Department should do. I'll go back first." After Emmett said that, he pulled Alyssa to walk out.

Xavier's wail came from behind. "Damn! Emmett, if you can’t leave like this! I can't handle it alone!"

Alyssa felt that Xavier's voice was too pitiful. Alyssa could not help but shiver. She asked softly, "You really don't want to take care of it?"
