CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 275

After Hazel finished speaking, she realized what she had just said.

Hazel also had a bit of a temper. No matter how angry Xavier was, he would not really do anything to her. But Emmett would not do the same.

Emmett would not feel any pity for her.

Hazel gritted her teeth. She regretted speaking without thinking.

Sure enough, in the next moment, she heard Emmett's terrifyingly gloomy voice, "Say it again."

Hazel did not dare to say it again.

She was really worried that after she said it again, she would be thrown out by Emmett directly from here.

At this moment, the door of Emmett's office was pushed open from the outside with a bang.

Hazel looked back and found that it was Xavier, who was sweating profusely.

He seemed to have rushed over in a hurry. His hair was messy and he was so tired that he was out of breath.

When he saw Hazel, he strode over and pulled her behind him. His tone was a little rushed. "Emmett, I know. You're worried about Alyssa's disappearance. But if you have something to say, then say it. Why are you looking for Hazel?"

He knew Emmett's temper too well.

The moment Alyssa left, Emmett was in a state where he could explode at any time. He would not show mercy to anyone who provoked him.

Hazel had a good relationship with Alyssa and naturally stood on Alyssa's side to speak for her. She was straightforward and would definitely provoke Emmett.

If he did not hear that Emmett had found Hazel, he would not know what would have happened today.

Emmett looked at Xavier for a while with an unknown expression until Xavier's scalp went numb. Only then did he slightly lower his eyes. Covering the emotions in his eyes, he said indifferently, "Just ask her about Alyssa."

Xavier saw that Emmett did not seem to be very angry, so he became more confident. "Alyssa is your wife, not Hazel's wife. You still have to ask others about your own wife."

Xavier's words made sense and did not make sense.

But it made Emmett's heart tremble.

He did not seem to know much about Alyssa.

Other than Alyssa's information that he had asked people to check at the beginning, knowing her family situation, and knowing that she wanted to be a scriptwriter, he did not seem to know anything else.

After a while, Emmett said softly, "You guys go out."

His voice was not loud, and there was no obvious emotion in his voice. However, no one dared to object to him for no reason.

Xavier hurriedly pulled Hazel out.

Hazel struggled for a while, but not only did Xavier not let go, he pulled even tighter.

He whispered into Hazel's ear, "Do you want Emmett to throw you out of here?"

Hazel glared at him and lifted her leg to kick his calf.

Xavier grimaced in pain, but he could not do anything to her.

After they left the office, the two of them fell limp and leaned against the door to let out a long sigh of relief.

After a while, Xavier turned his head and asked her, "Do you know where Alyssa is?"

"I don't know." Hazel snorted, "Even if I know, I won't tell you. Men are not good."

She used to think Emmett was good, but she did not expect things to turn out like this in the end.

How could Alyssa push Winston? She was not a fool.

Hazel vented her resentment on Xavier. "I say, why are you guys so full of yourselves? If Emmett did not force Alyssa into a corner, would she have run away?"

"What do you mean we men are so full of ourselves?" Xavier turned his head and crossed his arms to look at her. "Emmett forced Alyssa? The matters in Lawrence family are too complicated and cannot be explained in a short time. Even if she did not run away, Emmett would not let anything happen to her."

Hazel responded with a fake smile, "Oh, so Alyssa deserved to pin everything on Emmett for an uncertain 'will not let anything happen to her'?

Xavier had nothing to say.

Hazel sneered and turned to leave.

Xavier stood where he was and pulled his hair impatiently.

When he knew Emmett had called Hazel over, he was so nervous because he was afraid that something would happen to Hazel

In the end, Hazel was fine, but now he was the one who was in trouble.

Now he just wanted to have a good talk with Hazel, but it became a kind of extravagant hope.

…

In the CEO's office.

After Xavier and Hazel went out, the room became completely silent.

Emmett slowly walked to the sofa and sat down. He leaned back on the sofa with his head raised. His eyes were somewhat empty and he looked very tired.

Alyssa was a stubborn and persistent person.

She could endure the Moore family for so many years. So she could also use the same willpower and patience to play hide-and-seek with him.

If he kept looking for her, she would keep hiding.

She was probably thinking of a new escape route now.

Thinking of this, Emmett couldn't help but smile mockingly.

On this point, he and Alyssa were a bit similar.

Both of them were stubborn and persistent people.

During this period of time, the two of them had been in a stalemate.

Seeing Alyssa unhappy, his heart did not feel good.

However, many people were involved in Winston’s accident. Even he did not dare to act rashly. He was afraid that if Alyssa knew too much, she would end up like Winston.

Once a person had a weakness, he would become timid.

After Winston's accident, he became very passive. He could not take the initiative to investigate his mother's matter, nor could he directly return Alyssa's innocence.

Perhaps Alyssa's departure this time was also a good thing.

It made him no longer being overcautious and he could do his own things.

There was a knock on the door. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Emmett sat up straight. The expression on his face returned to its usual indifference. "Come in."

"Mr. Lawrence." The person who came in was Frank.

He walked to Emmett and nodded slightly. He said respectfully, "I found Mrs. Lawrence."

Frank thought that Emmett would give the order to bring Alyssa back when he heard that they had found her.

However, Emmett did not react for a long time.

He turned his head and carefully observed Emmett's reaction. He found that Emmett did not have any special emotions on his face, as if he was just in a daze.

After a long time, Emmett asked faintly, "Where is she?"

"Sydney." Frank then added, "But she will move to another place soon. If we send someone there now…"

Before he could finish, Emmett interrupted him. "Don't disturb her."

"What?" Frank suspected that he had misheard her.

According to his understanding of Emmett, Emmett should want to fly to Sydney right now and bring Alyssa back.

However, he actually heard Emmett say, "Don't disturb her.”

Frank confirmed again. "Mr. Lawrence, do you mean you don't need to send someone to bring Mrs. Lawrence back?"

Emmett said firmly, "No need."
