CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 326

Emmett didn't care what evidence Xavier had, he just hung up the phone.

However, Xavier didn't give up just like that.

Although Emmett had been exploiting him, Emmett would give him a lot of dividends at the end of each year.

Because of this, even if Emmett did not have any humanity, Xavier still wanted to treat Emmett as a brother.

Emmett had just sat down in his office when his phone rang with a WeChat notification.

Emmett took a look and realized that the person who sent the message was Xavier. He couldn't be bothered to open it and see what Xavier sent him. He casually threw his phone to the side and started to work.

Xavier waited for a long time and didn’t get Emmett’s reply. He guessed that Emmett had not read his message at all.

Xavier did not give up and called Frank instead.

Frank was typing up a document. When he received the call, he asked, "Mr. Collin, what's the matter?"

"I'll send you a news link on WeChat later. Open it and show it to Emmett, but you need to calm him down."

"What?" Frank did not understand what Xavier was trying to say.

When he was about to ask again, Xavier had already hung up the phone. Frank said "Hello" twice but got no answer, so he had to hang up the phone and looked at the WeChat.

There was an unread message on WeChat. It was from Xavier.

Frank opened it and saw a link.

And soon, he received another two messages from Xavier.

"You must show it to Emmett."

"You must hold him steady!"

Frank was confused and wondered what had made Xavier so serious.

Frank opened the news link and took a look. He was shocked by the headline in bold.

"Kissing Affectionately in the Car, Mr. Lawrence’s Ex-wife Got a New Boyfriend?"

He looked down and saw several pictures. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

In those photos a man and a woman were kissing in a car.

The man was wearing a green hoodie. Wearing a peaked cap, one could not see his face clearly.

However, it was easy to tell that the woman was Alyssa since she tilted her head slightly.

Frank was very familiar with both of them. Of course, he recognized Alyssa and Emmett in the photo at a glance.

Besides, Emmett was wearing the clothes that Frank picked for Emmett yesterday. It was quite fitting.

Frank took his phone and went to look for Emmett.

He stood at the door of the president's office and knocked on the door.

Emmett's deep voice came from inside. "Come in."

Emmett looked up and saw that the person who came in was Frank. He frowned slightly. "What is it?"

"I just have something to show you." As Frank spoke, he handed his phone to Emmett.

The content on the screen was exactly the photo of Emmett and Alyssa kissing in the car.

Emmett slid up the screen and saw the obvious title.

Looking at the black bold letters, Emmett sneered. "Mr. Lawrence's ex-wife?"

He and Alyssa were now lawfully husband and wife.

Recently, news about Alyssa had been posted online. Most of them would label her as “Mr. Lawrence's ex-wife.”

Frank asked from the side, "Mr. Lawrence, what do you think we should do?"

Emmett was silent. After a few seconds, Emmett's voice slowly sounded. "In the future, I don't want to see words like my ex-wife appear in the news about Alyssa."

Frank answered in confusion, "Okay."

Was it not more important to clarify the news or to reduce the heat of the topic at this moment?

But what Mr. Lawrence cared the most was the media calling Mrs. Lawrence as his ex-wife.

Frank had not thought of what to say when Emmett's phone suddenly rang.

Emmett glanced at it and found that it was Xavier again.

He remembered what Xavier had said him just now and guessed that Xavier must have misunderstood.

He thought for a while and picked up the phone.

However, as soon as the phone was connected, Xavier comforted before Emmett could speak. "Emmett, don't be too angry. Lately, a saying is popular online that if you want to live an easy life, you have to turn a blind eye to your partner’s betrayal. This kind of thing….”

Emmett did not hang up the phone this time hearing Xavier’s words. He just said to Frank, "Go and book an appointment with a brain specialist for Xavier now. You must get the best one."

Frank never disobeyed Emmett's orders, so he said with a wry face. "Yes."

Xavier naturally heard what Emmett said.

He went crazy on the other end of the phone. “Emmett, I've already gotten someone to appraise the photo. It's not composite. Why don't you believe me? Are you losing your mind?"

"You're the one who is losing your head." Emmett hung up the phone and blocked Xavier's number.

…

Alyssa was about to go out when she received a call from Hazel. "Let's have some morning tea together."

"Do you have time now? I can do it anytime." The main thing was that Hazel was busier than her. Her time was more flexible, so as long as Hazel asked her out, she would cooperate and rearrange the time.

Hazel replied, "Yes, I’m free now."

The two of them arranged to meet in a tea restaurant not far from Alyssa's residence.

When Alyssa went in, Hazel had not come yet. She waited for more than ten minutes before Hazel appeared wearing sunglasses and a peaked cap.

When she sat down, Alyssa asked her. "Why did you suddenly come to drink morning tea with me?"

Hazel could lie in bed and sleep all day when she did not have work, so she would not ask her out to drink morning tea so early.

"What have you been doing recently? How are you and the big boss?" Hazel's expression looked a little strange.

Alyssa naturally noticed the strangeness in Hazel's tone and said, "The two of us are quite well."

Hazel clearly did not believe it, "Is that so?"

"Yes." Alyssa nodded and sized Hazel up without batting an eyelid.

Hazel looked like she wanted to say something but did not know how to say.

Alyssa was not used to Hazel like this. She pursed her lips and said, "Alright, if you have anything to say, just say it. I feel uncomfortable looking at you stuttering."

"Then I will say it directly!" Hazel exaggeratedly sat up straight and straightened her back. Without a breath, she said, "You broke up with the big boss and had a new man outside but you did not tell me!"

Alyssa was stunned for a moment before she grasped the key words of what Hazel was talking about, "I broke up with Emmett? I had a new boyfriend?"

"Yes!" Hazel's expression was very serious. "I’m your best friend, who slept in the same bed with you and wore the same clothes as you, but I actually need to know about your recent relationship from the news. This hurts my feelings.”

Seeing Hazel say those ridiculous things with such a serious face, Alyssa could not help but laugh. "Who did you hear it from? Which newspaper released this news? I have to sue it for slander."

Hazel expressionlessly took out her phone and passed it to Alyssa, "See it for yourself."

Alyssa took the phone and was shocked after just one look

She raised her head and looked at Hazel in a daze, "It says that I have a new boyfriend and am still kissing in the car?"

"There are photos behind." Hazel crossed her arms and put on a cold face.
