CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 295

Hazel thought for a while and said, "I don't really understand."

Alyssa put Lychee into the fridge and asked her, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Have you eaten?"

"I have eaten with the crew." After Hazel finished speaking, she patted her head. "I remember. There is one more thing. I saw your interview video. What are you trying to do?"

Last time, when Alyssa asked her to help find the reporters, she set fire to the villa to escape. Ever since, Hazel was really a little afraid of Alyssa.

Hazel used to think that she could be good enough to cause trouble. Now she realized that Alyssa was even more crazier than her.

Alyssa smiled and said, "I was just hoping to promote my script “Lost City.”

"It would be strange if I believed you." Hazel rolled her eyes at her.

After taking a plate of lychee out of the fridge, Alyssa cleaned them and brought it to Hazel. It was rare for her to be serious. "Hazel, the Lawrence family is very complex. If I don't take the initiative to do something, I will always be led by them."

When Hazel heard her mention the Lawrence family, her expression also became serious. "Is there still no news of Angela?"

Alyssa shook her head and her tone became somewhat cold, "I guess that someone from the Lawrence family will soon find me."

Emmett came out of Alyssa's apartment building and Frank quickly went to the back to open the door for him.

Frank drove the car and observed Emmett in the rearview mirror from time to time.

Emmett slightly closed his eyes and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Since Emmett said so, Frank naturally did not hesitate anymore and asked directly, "Since Mr. Lawrence is worried, why did you let Mrs. Lawrence to move out again?"

The car was quiet for a moment. Emmett's voice did not sound hurried, “She might be happier moving out."

Frank remembered that last year, he and Emmett had talked about this topic. What did Emmett say back then?

At that time, Emmett had said that he would rather suffer together with her.

After more than half a year, Emmett's thoughts had changed expectedly.

…

Alyssa's guess was right.

Soon, someone from the Lawrence family came to find her.

That night, she chatted with Hazel for a while. Because Hazel still had work to do the next day, she left in a hurry.

Alyssa's schedule for the next day was still to go to the production crew.

However, just as she got out of the building, a black car stopped in front of her.

The window was lowered, revealing the face of a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Emmett.

"Alyssa, long time no see."

A hint of disgust quickly flashed through Alyssa's eyes and quickly it turned into surprise. "Mr. Lawrence?"

George had a smile on his face and looked like a gentle elder. "Although you are not with Emmett now, we don't have to be strangers. Calling me uncle will make things difficult for you?"

Although his expression was gentle, he had been sitting in the car while Alyssa was standing, when they were talking. The distance between them was pulled apart just like that.

Alyssa obediently called out, "Uncle."

A satisfied look flashed across George's eyes. "Where are you going? Do you have time to have a cup of coffee with me?" Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Alyssa smiled and nodded. "Of course."

She was waiting for George to find her. Of course she would not reject his invitation.

"Get in the car."

As soon as George finished speaking, Owen, who was sitting in the front and driving, got out of the car and opened the back seat for Alyssa.

"Thank you, Uncle Owen." Alyssa nodded slightly at Owen and then got into the car.

George sat next to her with a calm expression.

Alyssa withdrew her chin nervously and looked straight ahead without looking at George.

The car quickly stopped in front of a coffee shop.

She and George walked in one after the other. The waiter led them to the room they had booked early in the morning.

When the coffee was served, George stirred the coffee and asked in a caring tone as if he was catching up on old times, "How have you been overseas for the past six months?"

Alyssa curled her lips and replied politely, "Thank you for your concern Uncle. Everything was fine."

George sighed and said quietly, "We were too anxious about my father back then, so we misunderstood you. You are a good child. How could you do that? It was most likely because my father

was too old and his legs were not convenient, he fell down the stairs."

Alyssa heard him and held the coffee spoon tightly.

He was too old? His legs were not convenient?

Winston had taken good care of his body and was well maintained. Anyone could tell that he was very healthy.

Moreover, it was obvious that someone had come to call her over on purpose that morning.

It was also obvious that they had planned this beforehand. Now, George had told her that it was the old man's legs that were inconvenient?

Back then, she had only just woken up and did not think much about it. That was why she had been called over by that servant.

Later on, when she thought about it, she realized that the old master would usually call her and would not let other servants pass on the message.

This flawed statement was completely unreasonable.

However, Alyssa could not directly question him.

Alyssa lowered her eyes and pinched her legs under the table.

The force was too great. She was in so much pain that tears immediately came out.

At this time, she raised her head to look at George. She choked and asked, "Is grandpa okay now?"

George did not seem to have expected Alyssa to be so sad. He was stunned for a moment before he said, "The same as before."

Alyssa nodded and then asked carefully, "Then can I go and see him?"

She actually really wanted to go and see Winston.

It was just that there was no justifiable reason.

"Of course." George suddenly stopped smiling and asked seriously, "What's the matter with you and Emmett? I heard from Justin that Emmett took the child away?"

Ding -

Alyssa heard him mention the child and loosened her grip. The spoon in her hand fell into the cup just like that. When it touched the edge of the cup, it made a sound that was loud and clear.

What did George mean by that?

What did he want to probe?

Was he trying to find out how much Alyssa knew about the child, or was he trying to test whether Emmett and she were close enough that he would tell her that the child might be stolen by the Lawrence family?

Alyssa's hand, which was under the table, was clenched into a ball and then loosened again.

She did not know how to respond to this question, so she simply lowered her head and made a sad expression.

Every time she thought of Angela, under the situation where she could not restrain herself, her tears would immediately flow out.

George narrowed his eyes slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking. He slowly said, "Emmett has indeed gone too far this time. Although I am the child's grandfather and this child is destined to stay in Lawrence family, I have to say, she is still too young. She should stay by her mother's side and grow up…"

Alyssa simply covered her face and cried, "I am sorry, Uncle. I am just too sad."
