CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 280

In order to confirm whether Emmett had been secretly watching her, Alyssa walked back to the place where she had lived.

When she was almost at the gate, she saw the police car and the security line outside the courtyard next door.

A policeman saw her and frowned, "Hey! What are you doing here?"

Alyssa walked over and pointed at the door of her rented house, "I live here."

When the policeman heard that she lived here, he turned around and whispered something to the person beside him. Then he looked at Alyssa and said, "Excuse me, Miss, we're now conducting an investigation and we need your cooperation."

"Alright." Alyssa was also little curious about what had happened, so she was very cooperative.

The police asked Alyssa some routine questions, and she answered the questions one by one.

Alyssa also finally figured out what had happened.

The few youths living next to her had indeed committed crimes.

Car racing, killing people, stealing, and even raping young girls.

Actually, the police had not pointed it out so bluntly. Alyssa figured it out herself. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Alyssa thought of the girl who had come to her house to use the bathroom.

If she hadn't been so cautious and let that girl into the house, she would probably have been dead by now.

Alyssa felt the coldness climbing up on her back as well as the lingering fear.

Adults were good at judging and weighing the pros and cons. Even if they did bad things, they would consider the consequences. But children in their teens were different. They would not consider so much. It was easier for them to be impulsive and not consider the consequences.

The police saw that Alyssa’s expression was not good. They looked at her belly with some inquiry, "Where is your husband?"

Alyssa paused and said, "He's busy with work.”

The policeman nodded, "I wish you all good. It's very safe here now."

Alyssa smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sir."

Although the police said that it was very safe here, Alyssa did not want to live here anymore.

Previously, she chose to live in this kind of place just to rest in peace.

And now she's waiting for the due day.

The other reason was naturally Emmett.

Although Alyssa had lived here for more than four months, she didn't have many possessions. One suitcase could hold everything.

When she walked out with the suitcase, the policemen were still there but no one noticed her.

After she left, several strong men walked out from the other side.

One of the men said in a deep voice, "Call Mr. Baron."

…

At the Golden Fountain Club.

In a private room, Xavier sat on a chair, staring in the direction of the door. He almost had his eyes on the door.

Right at this moment, the door of the private room was opened from the outside and Emmett walked in.

Upon seeing Emmett, Xavier quickly stood up and pulled out the chair beside for him. "You know what? Now I have to queue up to make an appointment to have dinners with you..."

Emmett sat down without saying a word. He didn’t even look at the menu. He glanced at Xavier indifferently and said, "What can I do for you?"

Xavier rolled his eyes and said, "Come on. Can't we just have a dinner? The last time I saw you was

last year, right?"

Emmett pondered for a moment and gave an accurate answer, "A month ago."

Xavier went speechless. Suddenly, his phone rang.

"Wait for me to answer the photo first," Xavier said as he picked up his phone.

He took out his phone, only to discover that it was a call from Frank.

Xavier glanced at Emmett and answered the phone, "Why are you calling me?"

"Are you with Mr. Lawrence now?" Frank asked.

"Yeah, we're in the Golden Fountain Club. Why are you looking for him?" Xavier said and glanced at Emmett again.

Frank felt Xavier's glance and frowned, "Frank?"

Frank, who was on the other end of the phone, had already heard Emmett’s voice.

Frank wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He had just received the information that Alyssa hadn't rented the apartment they had arranged, and she had also canceled the original house.

This meant that Alyssa might have discovered Emmett's arrangements.

If Emmett knew that Alyssa had found out about the people he had sent, wouldn’t he go crazy?

Frank didn't dare to report this directly to Emmett, so he just wanted to ask Xavier for help...

However, he didn’t expect that Xavier was with Emmett at this moment...

Xavier didn't know anything about Frank's thoughts. He asked, "Are you looking for Emmett for something? Do you want to talk to him?"

Frank’s desire to survive was strong but he tried to make his tone as calm as usual. "No, no. You don’t need to let Mr. Lawrence answer the phone. Help me tell Mr. Lawrence that Mrs. Lawrence has found out about the people we sent.”

Before the last word ended, Frank hung up the phone in a hurry.

Xavier threw his phone aside and asked Emmett, "He asked me to tell you that Mrs. Lawrence has found out about the people you sent."

After saying that, Xavier felt that there was something wrong with what he said.

"Mrs. Lawrence?" Xavier murmured, "Alyssa?"

The Mrs. Lawrence Frank mentioned must be Alyssa.

In the past half year, Xavier hadn't seen Emmett very often.

Because Emmett had always been very busy.

He had been busy participating in different kinds of business activities, meetings, and going on business travels...

Emmett had been so busy that even if Xavier wanted to see him, he would have to make an appointment beforehand, so Xavier hadn't found the chance to ask him about Alyssa.

He was still wondering why Emmett suddenly stopped looking for Alyssa. But he didn’t expect Emmett to have his own tricks.

"What a bunch of trash!"

Emmett’s voice suddenly sounded which was trying to suppress his anger.

Xavier’s mind spun quickly. After thinking for a while, he understood what had been going on.

Seeing Emmett's gloomy face, he pondered for a moment and asked, “Alyssa is going to give birth soon, right?”

Emmett did not even look at him. He stood up and said, "The due date is at the beginning of July.”

"Wait! Are you leaving now? We haven't eaten yet?" Seeing that Emmett was leaving, Xavier also stood up.

Emmett ignored him.

Xavier stopped him, "Although your people have been discovered by Alyssa, it shouldn't be a problem for you, right? You can replace them with other guys..."

"No." Emmett said expressionlessly, "She is very vigilant. It won't work next time."

Xavier scratched his head and frowned, "Then why don't you just go and bring her back? She's going to give birth anyway."

Emmett paused.

He actually thought about it.

Brought Alyssa back?

Didn’t he want to?

Every day, he was dreaming of bringing Alyssa back.

Then, he would never let her go.
