CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 252

The fact that she could not leave without permission was already indirectly restricting her freedom.

Alyssa did not refute.

She was very worried about Winston now.

Although Winston had sent a woman to Emmett's villa earlier and indeed made Alyssa feel bad about him, she had no grudge against him after her conversation with Winston earlier.

Furthermore, Emmett must be very sad. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Thinking of Emmett, Alyssa's expression could not help but turn cold.

The corridor returned to its previous silence.

Although Eliza was not satisfied with George's actions, she did not dare to say anything.

After all, George was currently lying in the operating theater, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive. Now the most powerful man in the Lawrence family was George.

Suddenly, Emmett said in an extremely calm voice. "Call the police."

His words caught everyone's attention.

Alyssa turned her head and could only see Emmett's handsome and perfect face and slightly drooping eyes.

He looked very calm, but the cold and solemn aura emitted from his body proved his current mood.

Immediately after, he said, "Since you suspect that grandpa fell from the stairs, it was not an accident, but man-made. Then, call the police and let them investigate clearly."

He said this to George.

Alyssa clearly saw George's expression was a little surprised, as if he was very surprised by Emmett's suggestion.

This made Alyssa wonder.

If George really suspected that Winston's matter was man-made, calling the police should be considered normal procedure.

George thought for a moment and said, "Alright, then call the police."

George asked someone to call the police, but since it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was not that quick to call the police. The police only asked them to protect the scene.

Meanwhile, Alyssa and the others waited for Winston in the hospital.

Alyssa had just woken up not long ago, and she did not have time to eat before she followed them to the hospital.

At this moment, she sat down and waited for Winston to finish his surgery, she was a little hungry.

However, in this situation, even if she was a little hungry, she could only endure it for a while.

The surgery that Winston was going to undergo could not be completed in a short period of time. Alyssa did not know how long she would have to endure it.

Suddenly, Frank appeared in the corridor with some bodyguards.

He walked straight to Emmett. When he passed by George, he nodded slightly to greet him.

Frank stood in front of Emmett. "Mr. Lawrence."

Emmett glanced at Alyssa and said to Frank, "Take Mrs. Lawrence back."

Alyssa suddenly turned to look at Emmett.

Why did he take her back?

"I want to wait here for grandpa to wake up." If Winston woke up, she would probably be able to get rid of the suspicion.

Almost immediately, Emmett said in a cold voice, "I don’t want to see you here."

"Emmett!"

"Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are my wife. Maybe you pushed

grandpa downstairs. The reason I asked Frank to bring you back to the old residence to watch you and not let you run away."

Alyssa almost could not believe that Emmett was the one who said these words.

But Emmett's tone was cold. It did not seem like he was joking at all.

He did not look at Alyssa at all and directly instructed Frank. "Frank, did you not hear me? Take Mrs. Lawrence to the old residence and watch carefully!"

"Mrs. Lawrence, please." Frank walked to Alyssa and slightly nodded. He was still considered respectful.

Alyssa's face was white. She gave Emmett a deep look and then followed Frank.

She never thought that she would be suspected by the people of Lawrence family. Furthermore, their reason for suspecting her was so absurd.

Since Emmett had said so, there was no point for her to stay here.

After leaving the hospital, Frank brought Alyssa to the car.

As Frank started the car, he said, "Mrs. Lawrence, there is food in the box beside you. Mr. Lawrence asked me to bring it for you."

Alyssa was slightly stunned. She looked at the seat beside her and indeed saw a box. Above it was Golden Fountain Club's logo. It was very obvious that Frank had brought it for her from Golden

Fountain.

"When did Emmett call you?" When she arrived at the hospital, she stood next to Emmett. She did not see Emmett was calling Frank.

Frank thought about it and said, "An hour ago."

Alyssa thought about it. An hour ago, that was probably when they were still in the Lawrence Mansion.

Could it be that Emmett pretended to suspect her?

Alyssa's voice could not hide her joy. "When he called you, he asked you to bring food to the hospital to pick me up?"

"No," Frank explained. "I know the young master's taste. He didn't like the food he asked me to bring.”

Emmett ordered him to bring the food over and asked him to fetch Alyssa. Naturally, the food was specifically prepared for Alyssa.

The joy on Alyssa's face disappeared and she did not speak anymore.

She opened the box and found that it was filled with her favorite food, but she did not have much appetite.

But even if she did not want to eat, the baby in her stomach was still hungry.

She still did not believe that Emmett would doubt her just because of George and Eliza's few words.

These few days, she and Winston got along so well. She had no motive to harm Winston at all.

There must be another reason why he said those words in the hospital just now!

Thinking of this, Alyssa felt much better.

Frank drove while looking at Alyssa in the rearview mirror.

Seeing her start to eat, Frank let out a sigh of relief.

Actually, he still didn't understand what had happened. When Emmett called him back then, he did not mention anything other than ordering him to bring food and pick up Alyssa.

When he was in the hospital just now, Emmett's tone of speaking to Alyssa made him realize that things were not simple. He vaguely guessed something.

Seeing that Alyssa had almost finished eating, he asked, “Mrs. Lawrence, why did Mr. Lawrence say that you pushed Winston downstairs?"

Alyssa let out a long sigh and said, "I don’t know but I did not push him."

…

Everyone from the Lawrence family went to the hospital.

Alyssa was sent back to the old residence by Frank. Along the way, there were only servants.

She recalled what Eliza said before.

Eliza was right. In the entire Lawrence family, she was the only outsider.

Thus, it was reasonable for them to suspect her.

She did not go back to her room directly, but went to the place where Winston fell.

Frank, on the other hand, listened to what Emmett said and watched her closely.

There were already policemen who came to collect evidence and lock down the scene. However, there was almost no useful information at the scene.

Alyssa walked up the stairs that Winston fell down and carefully recalled the scene.

Now that the Lawrence family suspected her, it could only mean that... This was a trap to begin with.

A trap to deliberately frame her.
