CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 230

Alyssa's expression didn't look any better than Emmett's when she thought of this.

Dylan was really determined to go against Emmett.

She could not understand what kind of reason could make Dylan so brazenly stand against Emmett without any distinction between right and wrong.

The atmosphere in the car was a little stagnant.

Their early plan was to go to Golden Fountain Club for dinner after the matter was over.

Frank drove the car directly to Golden Fountain Club.

Xavier had been waiting for them in the private room for a long time.

When Alyssa and the others entered, he was ordering dishes.

She had not seen Xavier much during this period of time. He still looked frivolous. He pulled out a chair and squeezed his eyes at Alyssa, "Alyssa, come over here."

The degree of his enthusiasm surprised Alyssa. "No matter how much you please me, I will not help you say good things in front of Hazel."

"Don't think that I value benefits so much. You are a treasure now, we all have to take care of you." Xavier looked at Emmett. “Emmett, don't you think so?"

Emmett ignored him. He pulled out a chair for Alyssa and asked her to sit down. Then he sat down beside her.

Xavier felt bored. He moved closer to Arthur and asked, "What's wrong? Did things not go well?"

Arthur shrugged.

He thought it was going well. However, Emmett's expression changed when he saw Dylan.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when the group finished their meal.

Xavier and Grays still had another dinner, so Emmett and Alyssa went straight home.

…

When they arrived home, Alyssa entered the hall and saw Amelia wiping the floor.

This was a rare sight.

Amelia saw the two of them come in and called out, "Young Master, Young Madame."

Although Amelia's face was swollen, Alyssa could still see that she was unwilling.

Amelia's forehead was so swollen that it was blue. There were a few Band-Aids on her face. Alyssa could not help but ask, "Are you okay?"

Amelia seemed to be stunned for a moment. "I am okay."

Emmett did not look at Amelia. He directly brought Alyssa upstairs. "Let's go up and rest."

At the corner of the stairs, Alyssa turned her head and saw Amelia squatting on the ground to wipe the floor.

Was Amelia's brain severely damaged by the fight? Was she going to be a real maid?

Alyssa was shocked by this thought. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

When the two of them returned to the room, Alyssa went to take a bath. As soon as she entered the bathroom, her phone vibrated.

Emmett subconsciously took a look and saw the words "From Grandfather" on the screen.

He remembered that Winston and Alyssa had added WeChat.

He looked in the direction of the bathroom and heard the sound of water.

Emmett then took his phone and opened WeChat to read the message.

Winston sent a voice message. Emmett opened it and listened.

"Alyssa, Eliza has troubled you today."

Emmett heard this. He only hooked his lips in a meaningful way.

Winston was protective. Although he was happy that Alyssa was pregnant, Eliza was also Winston's granddaughter.

Eliza must have gone to Winston to report to him. Although Winston was not a person who did not know right from wrong, he still had to warn Alyssa about what had happened.

Emmett deleted Winston's message and directly clicked on the video call.

Winston on the other side was still a little surprised that Alyssa actually took the initiative to start the video call with him.

He still clicked accept.

After the video was connected, the person who appeared on the screen was not Alyssa. It was clearly Emmett's face that annoyed him.

"Why is it you? Where is Alyssa?" Winston had a fierce expression on his face. It was clear that he did not want to see Emmett.

Emmett switched to a camera and pointed at the closed bathroom door. "She went to take a bath."

Winston pursed his lips. "I have nothing to say to you. I will call her tomorrow."

Winston was about to turn off the video when Emmett said, "If you are really bored, you can go back to work. I think your son will be happy to give you his seat."

Winston immediately put on a stern face and said, "Emmett!"

Emmett picked up his phone and walked outside. He smirked. "When your granddaughter-in-law was pregnant, you stuffed a woman into your grandson's villa. Is that the kind of person you are? You old fool!"

This incident had indeed angered Emmett. He and Winston were indeed very close when they were young, but the last time when Winston told him not to investigate his mother's matter, there was a slight estrangement between the two of them.

However, Winston's attitude towards Alyssa was still good. Emmett did not make it clear and was willing to treat it as nothing.

However, he did not expect that Winston would do such a thing.

Winston was so angry that his beard shook. Then he said earnestly, "Emmett, I am doing this for your own good. The Lawrence Group’s huge family business needs you to inherit. You can't put all your attention on a woman. Don't be like your father."

In Winston's opinion, the young masters of the rich and powerful families naturally had a lot of pretty girls around them. This was a common thing.

However, George, whom he doted on the most, didn't have any women after his wife's accident. He had been depressed all these years.

Winston had been a playboy for half his life but his son was loyal man.

When Emmett brought Alyssa back to the old residence, Winston saw how Emmett cared for her and had other thoughts in his heart.

Emmett sneered, "Like my father? Are you sure he’s depressed because he can’t forget my mom? Isn't it because he has a guilty conscience?"

"Emmett, how many times have I told you? There was no inside story about your mother back then. It was just an accident." Winston sounded tired.

"I watched your mother grow up. What kind of feelings does your father have for her, you know Emmett. What did you find out after searching for so many years? You haven't found anything yet. Those were just your imagination…"

Winston was still nagging, but Emmett didn't interrupt him.

When he finished, Emmett asked slowly, "Will aunt come back this year for the new year? Aunt hasn't come home for the new year for many years."

After Emmett finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes and quietly observed Winston's expression.

However, there was no expression on Winston's face except a trace of emotion.

Emmett frowned slightly. Could it be that Sawyer was lying?

Essentially, he did not want to believe that his aunt would be related to what happened back then.

"Emmett?"

Alyssa's voice broke Emmett's thoughts.

Emmett turned around and saw Alyssa wearing pajamas and a thick coat. She was wrapped tightly.
