CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 277

Alyssa slid the mouse and slowly flipped through the page.

Many of the current news liked to use sensational and strange headlines to attract people's attention. But most of the content was similar.

Most of the news related to Emmett was business news. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Occasionally, there would be some scandals, but most of them were things without evidence.

Emmett was handsome, he was skilled, and behind him was the powerful Lawrence family. Naturally, he attracted the attention of many people.

In the past, when he did not appear in the public's field of vision, when people mentioned him, they would always mention the words "ugly and impotent.”

But now, with a casual search on the Internet, the labels added to him had completely changed.

Now he was youngest new billionaire in the business world.

The one and only heir of the powerful Lawrence family.

Any one of these labels was something that ordinary people could only look up to.

Alyssa was also one of these ordinary people.

When she lived with Emmett in the past, this feeling was not obvious. But the longer they separated,

the more obvious this feeling became. Now Alyssa began to feel that she was out of his league.

Occasionally Alyssa thought of those days when she was with Emmett in the past and felt that it was like a dream.

Suddenly, she felt the baby in her stomach kick her.

Alyssa lowered her head and reached out to touch her belly to comfort her. She comforted him in a low voice, "Baby, this is your father. He is very handsome, but he has a bad temper."

As she spoke, Alyssa suddenly could not continue.

She pursed her lips and got up to turn off the computer, preparing to go to the kitchen to make something to eat.

When she opened the fridge, she found that there were no more ingredients in the fridge.

As her body became more and more cumbersome, she also wanted to quickly finish revising the script with Amelia. So she did not go out much recently.

Looks like she can only go out to eat today.

Alyssa went back to her room to change her clothes and went out with her wallet.

Sydney's April temperature was suitable. It was neither cold nor hot.

When Alyssa went out, she found that the door of the neighboring house was open. There were a few cars parked at the door.

She had lived here for a few months and had never seen the person next door.

When she passed by, she could not help but look inside curiously.

At this time, a few boys of about sixteen or seventeen years old walked out. Some were black and some were white. They walked out with their arms around their shoulders, laughing and chatting.

Alyssa saw this and was stunned for a moment. She turned around and left.

Those teenagers also saw her.

It was not rare to see Asian people's faces, but it was rare to see single women with large belly and exceptionally beautiful looks.

Behind her came the whistling of a few youths.

Among them were some words that were spoken in English, generally words as “pretty” and “gorgeous.”

Alyssa could hear their tone was not very friendly.

So she did not pay attention to them. Her footsteps quickened and she quickly walked to the restaurant where she often went to eat.

Alyssa usually did not go anywhere far away. She usually bought things and ate nearby. In addition, she was exceptionally beautiful. The waiters in the restaurant all knew her.

The moment she entered, a waiter greeted her in English, "Miss Moore, you're here."

Alyssa smiled, "I want a six inch pizza and a glass of juice."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter smiled and ordered for her. He then turned around and went to the counter.

Alyssa was not far from the counter. She could still hear the waiter's low voice, "That beautiful pregnant woman is here to eat again."

This sounded a little strange, but Alyssa knew that he meant no harm.

After eating, Alyssa went to the supermarket to buy some food and then went back.

When she passed by the door of the neighboring house, Alyssa quickened her pace.

Fortunately, the youths were not at home. They seemed to have something to do and went out.

...

In Holston City.

It was already late at night when Emmett came out of the Lawrence Group’s building.

When Frank saw him come out, he opened the car door for him. "Mr. Lawrence."

However, Emmett did not get into the car first, but looked up at him.

Frank understood what he meant and reached out his other hand. He was holding a phone in his hand.

Emmett took the phone. He was not in a hurry to get into the car. He stood at the car door and turned on the phone.

The screen lit up. It showed a picture of a woman.

The woman in the picture was wearing a thin gray trench coat. There was a loose white dress inside. She was pregnant and sitting in the restaurant for dinner.

The person who took the photo was probably taking a photo in the distance through the window, so the woman's face was not very clear.

When she lowered her head to eat, her hair was still hanging down to cover half of her face, but Emmett's eyes seemed to be glued to the photos. He looked mesmerized.

After a while, Emmett said, "Has she been eating these outside recently?”

His voice was a little hoarse, and it sounded lonely in the night wind.

Frank replied, "Mrs. Lawrence usually cooks by herself, but she hasn't been out much recently. Maybe she's busy with work and there's no food at home. That's why she came out to eat."

"Alright." Emmett replied indifferently, then bent down and sat in the car.

Frank saw him like this and closed the door for him. He could not help but sigh.

Previously, when Emmett said not to disturb Alyssa, Frank thought that he was just saying it.

Because with his understanding of Emmett, it was impossible for Emmett to not bring Alyssa back if he had found her.

Because of the kidnapping case Emmett encountered when he was young, he had some flaws in his personality. He was paranoid and suspicious. It was very difficult for him to listen to other people's thoughts.

Therefore, when Frank heard Emmett's words back then, he did not take it seriously.

He thought that Emmett would change his mind in a few days and get Alyssa back.

But he did not expect that his guess was completely wrong.

Not only did Emmett not send anyone to bring Alyssa back, he also sent people to Sydney to quietly follow Alyssa. He also ordered his subordinates to take Alyssa’s photos and send them over every day without Alyssa noticing.

If Alyssa did not go out someday and they didn’t take pictures of her, they would still take pictures of Alyssa’s door and sent them to Emmett.

Xavier had told Frank more than once that Emmett had gone crazy.

And Frank also thought so in his heart.

Frank shook his head. He walked to the other side of the car and drove towards Emmett's apartment.

Since Alyssa set fire to Emmett's villa, Emmett moved to an apartment not far from the Lawrence Group. Occasionally he just stayed in the company.

Frank kept an eye on Emmett as he drove.

Emmett was still holding his phone and looking at Alyssa's picture.

He had received a lot of photos today. Emmett just looked at each and every one them for a long time.

Suddenly, his fingers paused.

In the photos, in the background behind Alyssa was a group of youths with different skin colors.

Emmett, who often saw photos of Alyssa's daily life, could naturally tell that the background was near Alyssa's house.

Emmett's voice was slightly heavy, "Who are these people?"
