CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 177

Alyssa looked around his room and touched it. She looked very curious.

At the corner of the desk, she saw a picture of a woman and a child together.

The picture was taken in the summer and the little boy in the picture was very beautiful. He was wearing a school uniform with short sleeves and shorts. He looked at the camera with a grin and a very bright smile.

The woman beside him was wearing a white dress. Her smile was gentle and there was a sense of transcendence in her calmness.

"That’s my mom."

Emmett's hoarse voice came from behind.

Immediately after, his arms wrapped around her waist. His firm and warm chest pressed against her back. She was completely wrapped in the cold aura unique to Emmett.

He used his free hand to touch the woman in the photo and slowly explained the source of the photo to her.

"That year during Children's Day, she went to my school to participate in the parent-child activity. After it ended, we took this photo."

Alyssa turned back to look at him and then looked at the little boy in the photo.

The boy in the photo smiled brightly. There was not a trace of gloom in his eyes. It was hard to imagine that Emmett would be like this more than ten years later.

He was handsome, but there was always a haze in his eyes that ordinary people could not understand. His temper was volatile. Once he encountered something related to his mother, he became ruthless and vicious.

If possible, everyone wanted to be happy.

However, Emmett was forced to become like this.

How bad could a person's heart be?

Alyssa could not imagine how Emmett, who was only eleven years old, felt when he saw his biological mother being abused in front of him in order to save him.

It was even more difficult to imagine how long it took him to walk out later.

Although Emmett's temperament was unpredictable and he was not a good person, Alyssa knew that he would not become the same as those people who humiliated his mother back then.

If his mother's case was really related to some people in Lawrence family…

Alyssa could not help but shiver.

Emmett felt the subtle reaction of the person in his arms and asked her, "Is the heating too low? Are

you cold?"

"No." Alyssa shook her head. Because of Emmett, she felt a little down. "How many people are there in the Lawrence family?"

Although she had only seen servants and bodyguards along the way with Emmett, along with Winston and George, the house was so big that there should still be people living in it.

Emmett shook his head. "I don't know. There are countless of them. They live in the old house and are settled elsewhere. There are too many in China and abroad."

Emmett lowered his eyes and took a look at the solemn expression on her face. He quietly changed the topic. "Aren't you going to open the red packet Grandpa gave you?"

Sure enough, Alyssa's attention was immediately diverted by him. She took out the red packet and smiled. "I think it might be a check."

Emmett also smiled. "Grandpa is a generous person."

What he meant was that giving a check was not considered generous?

Alyssa really did not understand the world of the rich.

Didn't the rich people in television dramas all like signing cheques very much?

"Open it and take a look." Emmett pulled her to the bed and sat down, staring at her with heavy eyes. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Alyssa opened the red packet and took out a thin card.

With just a glance, Alyssa's eyes widened in shock.

She recognized this card. It was the black card that had shocked Skylar and Daniel in the past!

Without waiting for her to speak, Emmett raised his eyebrows and said, "At least this old man has some sincerity."

"It is said that this is the limited edition black card of the Lawrence's?" The last time after Alyssa was deceived by Skylar and the rest, she had gone online to check, but it was only a little bit of information and it was not accurate.

"Yes, only people from the Lawrence family have it, but not everyone has it." Emmett took the black card over and took a look. When he found that it was a new card, he could not help but laugh.

It seemed that his grandfather had prepared a meeting gift early in the morning. It seemed that he already had some understanding of Alyssa.

Alyssa asked again, "Then how much money is inside?"

Emmett replied lightly, "I don't know."

"You don't know what it means?"

"I have swiped this card since I was young. I bought cars, bought villas, and even started a company, but I never spent all of it."

Alyssa was speechless.

…

Alyssa and Emmett stayed in Lawrence's Mansion for one night.

The next morning, when Alyssa woke up, there was no sign of Emmett by her side.

Alyssa guessed that he might have gone to find Winston.

Emmett's room was very close to where Winston lived. After Alyssa finished washing up, she went downstairs to look for him.

She walked halfway but bumped into a woman walking towards her.

Alyssa saw a woman walking towards her from afar. She turned her body to let the woman pass but that woman seemed to not have eyes. It was as if she did not see Alyssa. She did not have any intention of moving away and directly hit Alyssa's shoulder.

That woman raised her head and her delicate face was cold. She looked at Alyssa with disdain, "Are you a new servant? Do you know the rules of Lawrence family?"

The woman in front of her was delicate and well-dressed. One look and one could tell that she was a young lady of the Lawrence family.

Alyssa retorted with a cold face. "I don't know the rules of the Lawrence family. I only know that you hit

me first."

There was no servant in the Lawrence family who dared to contradict their master.

After hearing Alyssa's words, the woman raised her head and looked at Alyssa.

When she saw Alyssa, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes. Just now, she was so focused on walking that she did not realize that Alyssa was so pretty.

At this moment, Alyssa was sizing up the woman in front of her and found that she looked a little familiar.

She searched her mind and remembered that this woman in front of her was the host of the latest popular variety show, Eliza.

Eliza suddenly jumped out. There was no news of her in the past. There had always been people guessing her background online. There were also people who guessed that she was from the Lawrence family, but it had never been confirmed.

"You're not a servant at home, so don't run around. Guests need to be aware of their customers. Don't think that you can climb up a branch and become a phoenix just because you're brought back to the Lawrence family." A hint of disdain flashed across Eliza's eyes. She turned around and left.

There were many men in the Lawrence family. Occasionally, they would bring women back to spend the night outside. Eliza was used to it and directly treated Alyssa as that kind of woman.

Alyssa naturally heard her words.

She rolled her eyes and realized that not everyone in Lawrence family was as smart as Emmett. There were many people who could not figure out the truth and were self-righteous.

Emmett came out from the backyard and was about to call Alyssa for breakfast. He did not expect her to come over.

Seeing that her expression was not right, he could not help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Alyssa shrugged.

Emmett raised his head and looked at the other side. Eliza had come to look for Winston just now. It was very likely that she would meet Alyssa when she came out.
