CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 229

Emmett was annoyed by her question. He turned around and held her chin and kissed her. "Alright."

Alyssa, “…”

She didn't let him kiss her.

Emmett looked at Alyssa's stunned expression with satisfaction. He raised the corner of his mouth and led her forward.

Arthur and Frank were waiting for them.

"Young master, Young Madame."

"Emmett."

Alyssa nodded at Frank and greeted Arthur, "Mr. Knight."

Arthur replied with a relaxed expression. With a smile, he walked to Emmett's side and told him about the case.

"Because of the uniqueness of this case, to the maximum, I can only let Skylar be sentenced to three years in prison." Arthur said and looked at Alyssa.

Alyssa lowered her head and looked at herself, "What is it?"

Before the group could enter, Arthur suddenly took out a piece of gauze from his briefcase and handed

it to Emmett. "Wrap it."

Of course, this was not for Emmett to wrap it, but for Alyssa to wrap it.

Emmett frowned. "No need."

Arthur shrugged. "None of you were hurt. This case looked easy. I fought hard too. Will you two cooperate?"

Emmett said coldly, "Boring."

He did not think much of it at first. Then he turned to Frank and said, "Frank, go back to the car with Young Madame."

"Yes." Frank replied respectfully.

"I'll wait for you in the car." Alyssa also understood Emmett's words and did not ask any further.

When prosecuting Skylar, it was in the name of intentional harm. It was not impossible for Alyssa to appear in court in perfect condition, but there might be some unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, Arthur was a very strict person at work and he could not let Alyssa appear in court just like that.

Alyssa not going in was the best choice.

Emmett did not care about this. The Moore family were all here today. He was worried that the Moore family would lose control of their emotions and hurt Alyssa.

Ever since Skylar's incident, he did not dare to let his guard down. He could not let his guard down at all.

This was also the reason why he did not let anyone enter the villa so easily.

He wanted to put an end to anything that might harm Alyssa.

Alyssa turned around and walked into the car with Frank. Halfway there, she suddenly turned her head and took a look.

Emmett was tall and slender. Even from such a distance, she could feel that he was different from the others.

Other than his strange temperament sometimes, Emmett was really an impeccable man.

Alyssa also felt like she was dreaming sometimes. She felt that all of this was not real at all.

"Young Madame?"

Frank's voice sounded and Alyssa suddenly came back to her senses. Only then did she realize that she was looking in Emmett's direction.

"Let's go." She came back to her senses and returned to the car with Frank.

In the car, Alyssa looked at the door of the court and asked Frank, "Will Skylar really be sentenced?"

"Yes, Mr. Knight has never failed." Frank's tone was very sure.

Alyssa leaned back and took out her phone to send Hazel a WeChat message.

Hazel immediately replied to her, "What goes around comes around!"

Yes, that’s a constant rule.

Those who do bad things will be punished.

She thought about Emmett's mother again. After so many years, she vaguely felt that it was too difficult to find the real culprit behind the scenes.

Moreover, Emmett had said that the culprit might be someone from the Lawrence family. Even if he really found the culprit, wouldn't it be more painful for him?

Alyssa felt that it might be related to pregnancy, recently, she had been thinking about random things.

She looked up and found that Frank was lowering his head and playing with his phone. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Alyssa quietly went over and found that Frank was looking at a photo of a woman and a child.

Alyssa asked in surprise, "Frank, are you married?"

Frank suddenly covered the phone screen. "Yes."

"Your son is quite cute. How old is he?" Alyssa did not know anything about his situation. She asked this question purely because she thought his son was cute.

When Frank mentioned his son, there was a trace of a smile in the corner of his eyes. "He is four years old. He is a ghost elf."

Alyssa realized that Frank had become more talkative when he talked about his son.

Alyssa started to talk with Frank with his son.

"Then he should be in kindergarten, right?"

"Yes, he just went to school in the second half of this year."

Alyssa was pregnant now and was very interested in the topic of children.

After Frank divorced, he became more and more quiet. He followed Emmett, a boss who rarely spoke words. It was not easy to have someone to talk to about his son. He also talked more.

The two of them talked until Emmett and Arthur came out.

"They are back."

Alyssa was the first to notice them.

She opened the door for Emmett from inside.

After Emmett got in the car, he pulled on his tie. His expression was not very good.

Arthur sat in the front passenger seat.

Alyssa saw Emmett's cold face and raised her head to look at Arthur.

Arthur turned back and spread his hands.

She saw that Arthur’s expression was normal and did not look like he had lost the lawsuit. What was wrong with Emmett?

"What's wrong with you?" Alyssa asked him in a low voice.

Emmett shook his head and did not say anything.

At this time, someone knocked on the window beside Alyssa.

She turned around and saw Dylan's gentle and harmless face.

Alyssa frowned and finally understood why Emmett's expression was so ugly.

Alyssa lowered the window. Before she could say anything, Dylan already smiled and said, "Alyssa, I heard you are pregnant? Congratulations."

Alyssa was expressionless. “Thank you."

Dylan looked up at Emmett and said slowly, "Emmett, don't forget to treat me to a Full Moon Wine."

Emmett looked at him coldly and did not say anything.

Alyssa quickly raised the window and urged Frank, "Drive."

She felt uncomfortable seeing Dylan now. She always felt that Dylan's hypocritical face was scarier than the angry Emmett.

"Emmett, what's going on between you and Dylan?" Arthur was the legal advisor of Nine Clouds Media. He did not know much about public relations and the online public opinion of celebrities.

He had heard about what had happened a while ago, but he did not know what had happened.

There were no outsiders here, so he asked directly.

"Let's go back first." Emmett didn't want to talk much, so Arthur didn't ask much.

When Alyssa went back to the Moore Family, she had seen Dylan and Skylar being close. Today Skylar's case was open, so it was not surprising that Dylan would come here.

However, just seeing Dylan would not make Emmett look bad.

Suddenly, Alyssa's mind flashed. Dylan was also considered half of the Lawrence family. Since Emmett could send Skylar in, Dylan naturally had a way to get Skylar out.
