CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 276

Frank couldn't believe his ears.

Even though Emmett had repeated it twice, Frank still felt like he was hallucinating. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"Mr. Lawrence."

He wanted to confirm it with Emmett again, but Emmett raised his hand slightly, indicating that he should stop talking.

Frank was stunned for a moment, then turned around and left.

Since Hazel had left angrily, Xavier returned to Emmett’s office. He just happened to see Frank come out of the office.

He quickened his pace and walked towards Frank. "What's wrong? You found Alyssa?"

Frank frowned and nodded. "I found her."

Xavier saw that Frank was frowning and looking worried, so he asked in confusion. "Hey, you found Alyssa. Emmett won't let you bring her back? Or does he want to bring her back by himself?"

Frank shook his head. "Neither. Mr. Lawrence...”

After a pause, Frank thought of a word to describe Emmett.

"I think Mr. Lawrence is a bit weird."

"What?" Xavier's mouth twitched.

"Mr. Lawrence doesn't want us to bring Mrs. Lawrence back, nor does he plan to bring her back himself. He only told us not to disturb her."

Xavier's reaction was not much better than Frank’s.

He was stunned for a while and asked, "What happened to him?"

Frank shook his head with a blank look.

After following Emmett for so many years, he could guess what Emmett was thinking most of the time.

But this time, Frank had no idea at all. He felt that he could not guess what Emmett was thinking at all.

Xavier thought the same as him.

…

Although Alyssa moved out of the hotel, she did not let her guard down.

She stayed at the guest house at night. After disguising herself up during the day, she quietly ran to a coffee shop opposite the hotel and chose a seat by the window. She ordered a glass of fruit juice and sat there for the entire afternoon.

Her purpose of doing so was very simple. It was to see when Emmett's people would find her hotel.

She thought that with Emmett's ability, he would find the hotel she booked the next day.

However, she stayed in the coffee shop for two or three days. Until the hotel room she booked automatically expired, she did not see Emmett's people.

Could it be that Emmett's people had not find this place?

But as soon as this deviation appeared, she denied it.

That was impossible. Emmett had been hiding his strength for so many years. It couldn't be that he didn't even have this bit of ability.

She shook the fruit juice in front of her, feeling somewhat restless.

She should be happy that Emmett did not come to her, but she did not feel happy in her heart.

Instead, she felt a little disappointed.

Could it really be like what Henry said?

However, it had not even been a day or two, and Emmett was already too lazy to look for her?

Alyssa pursed her lips, took off her wig and hat that she used to disguise herself. Then she just walked out like that.

She specially walked a circle around the entrance of the hotel before returning to her room.

After having dinner with the owner, Alyssa returned to her room.

She opened her computer and logged into her email. She received the electronic contract document that Amelia sent her.

She roughly took a look and found that there was no problem, so she sent an email back to Amelia.

Alyssa herself was not sure if Emmett was really too lazy to look for her, so the next morning, she bought a flight ticket to another city and left Sydney.

After leaving Sydney, she called back to ask the old couple if anyone from China had gone to look for her.

But the old couple said no.

Did Emmett really not want to look for her anymore?

A month passed quickly.

The paper contract she signed with Amelia was sent back and forth using international express delivery. But she did not see Emmett's people looking for her.

Children who were not loved were always precocious, which made her stay calm and clear most of the time.

At this time, Alyssa was very clear that Emmett did not intend to look for her anymore.

Since Emmett did not look for her anymore, she did not need to hide anymore.

After she got a new number, she contacted Hazel again.

Then, she returned to Sydney and rented a house by the sea.

Along the way, she thought about going back to Holston City.

But on the second thought, she denied it immediately. Since she had gone through so much trouble to come out, she couldn't just go back like this.

Moreover, even if she returned to Holston City, what was there that she was reluctant to part with?

She didn’t miss anyone or anything.

In her heart, she always had an inexplicable feeling that Emmett wouldn't let it go so easily.

Perhaps he wouldn't look for her now, but that didn't mean that Emmett wouldn't come to take away the child when the child was born.

After weighing the pros and cons, it was more suitable for her to stay in Sydney.

…

Amelia liked Alyssa's script very much and often discussed the script with Alyssa through video calls.

After all, the script was written by Alyssa based purely on her imagination. There would always be something illogical and realistic about it. In order to make an online drama appear in front of the public, one had to pass the censor board review from relevant authorities. So they had to make some logical deductions.

The script was revised and changed a few times. When it was finally finalized, it was already April.

Alyssa's expected delivery date was in July.

"This is the last chapter. Take a look. If there are no problems, it is settled just like that. Next, I will have to rest for my baby."

Alyssa said and pressed the send button. She sent the last chapter's content to Amelia.

Then, she stretched her neck and habitually touched her belly that was swollen like a big ball.

Amelia saw Alyssa's belly in the video and hesitated for a moment before asking, "You plan to have the child overseas?"

"Yes." Alyssa nodded.

In the past few months, she and Amelia had been discussing the script together continuously. There were often places where they did not agree with each other and argued with each other. And neither of them would compromise easily.

But the relationship between the two became closer.

Amelia asked her, "Had Emmett come to find you?"

Alyssa was stunned for a moment and said, "No."

"You guys..."

"Okay, let's do this for today. I'm a little tired. I'll contact you if there's anything." Alyssa did not wait for her to finish speaking before she turned off the video.

After turning off the video, Alyssa sat in front of the desk in a daze for a while before turning on the browser. She typed the name on the browser which she longed too much during this time: Emmett Lawrence.

She clicked on the search button. The page jumped and Alyssa's eyes fell on the small words on the top of the page. "I found about 14,700 relevant results for you.

At the top of all results was Emmett's personal information.

Below it was Emmett's "latest relevant information.”

Every search result was related to Emmett.

Some were discussing him, and some were discussing the Lawrence family.

Emmett had taken over the Lawrence Group, because of which he was a hot topic to talk about in the public. Every small matter was reported by the major media.

It would be too easy for her to know about his current situation.
