CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 319

Frank left to book a flight ticket for Emmett.

Emmett looked in the direction of the kitchen and called Xavier.

"I’ll hang up, if you don't want to treat me to dinner and drink." Xavier had only met Emmett by chance in the Golden Fountain Club.

Emmett had returned to take over the Lawrence Group. He threw the Golden Fountain Club and D- Fronts Media to Xavier.

It was still fine if he threw the Golden Fountain Clubhouse and D-Fronts Media to Xavier. After all, Xavier was an investor with shares.

However, Emmett was ordering him around more and more frequently. In the past, they could still have a meal and a drink together when they had the time. But Emmett would never look for him if he had nothing to do now.

Xavier had already severed ties with Emmett countless times.

But Emmett did not care what Xavier said. In the past, Xavier had threatened Emmett every time that he wanted to jump off a building.

Emmett said, "I will fly to Nation M tonight. It will take me at least three or four days to come back. When I am not in Holston City, help me take care of Alyssa."

Xavier only dared to say that, but he did not dare to hang up Emmett's phone.

Xavier asked in surprise, "What are you going to Country M for? Are you on a business trip?"

Emmett said in a deep voice, "I have other things to do. Just take care of Alyssa for me."

"Sure, sure!" Xavier changed the topic and asked, "Why are you so serious? You even asked me to take care of Alyssa for you. Is there anything you didn’t tell me?”

Xavier was not a stranger. He had a good relationship with Emmett. Emmett did not beat around the bush and told him the most important thing. "Dylan and I are half-brother.”

"What?" Xavier was very excited. "What's going on? Are you kidding me? Isn't Dylan your aunt's son? Now that he’s your biological brother, what about Justin?”

He had to admit that Xavier had a strong imagination.

Emmett ignored his question and said in a low voice. "Sorry to trouble you."

"Come one. Don't be so polite. I'm scared. Besides, even if you don't tell me, I will still take care of Alyssa because of Hazel…”

"Okay."

Emmett hung up the phone and looked at the DNA report on the coffee table. He looked at it and put his phone aside. Then he got up and went to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Alyssa was cutting green peppers.

Emmett preferred food with strong flavors. Alyssa had not cook for him many times now. It was not easy for her to have the opportunity to cook for him, so she tried her best to satisfy his taste.

Emmett's footsteps were light. He leaned against the door and watched for a while. When he saw Alyssa finish cutting the green pepper, he walked over and took a plate for her.

Just as Alyssa was about to turn around to take the plate, she saw a plate being handed over from the side.

She took the plate and turned to look at Emmett. "Why did you come in?"

"I'm hungry." Emmett said with a calm voice.

However, his eyes were fixed on Alyssa.

"Why are you looking at me when you're hungry? Go to the dining room and wait. The food will be ready soon." Alyssa said as she used her elbow to push him out.

Emmett did not move at all. He put his hand on her shoulder and said coldly, "I just want to see you for a while."

Alyssa was slightly stunned. She was not used to this man suddenly being so direct. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Before Emmett left, Alyssa started to feel uneasy.

"Take Frank with you to Country M. He has been by your side for so many years. He is very reliable. Things are different when you are abroad." Actually, when she was in the living room just now, she wanted to talk about this.

Emmett raised his eyebrows. His voice was low and deep. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in it. "Are you looking down on me or Frank?"

Alyssa, “…”

She did not want to continue this topic with the arrogant and confident Emmett.

Frank booked a flight for Emmett at six o'clock in the evening.

Emmett left for the airport at four o’clock.

In order to avoid suspicions, Alyssa did not send him off.

After Emmett left, Alyssa’s life went back to normal. She only went to the filming crew and home every day.

When she had time, she would go to the production crew. The rest of the time, she would continue to study the new script.

When Emmett arrived in Country M, it was the morning of the second day.

When he brought his luggage to Frances's house, which was full of dust, Frances was in the courtyard looking at the newly hired craftsmen repairing the courtyard.

Emmett walked in with his suitcase and expressionlessly called out, "Aunt."

Frances heard him and turned to look at Emmett. She was stunned for half a minute before she realized what was going on. "Emmett? Why are you here all of a sudden?"

Although she tried her best to act natural, Emmett could still see a trace of panic behind her expression.

Frances and his mother had been good friends since they were young. They had a very deep relationship.

If they could become good friends, there must be something in common between them.

Even if he learned from Jayden that he had seen Frances at the crime scene of the kidnapping back then, Emmett was only slightly disgusted with Frances, but he did not think that Frances would have done such a thing.

Frances had been obedient since she was young and was deeply doted upon by Alfred. She was raised very well by the Lawrence family. She was very pure and she could not do such a vicious thing.

Moreover, she did not have any motive to do this.

However, even if she did not have any motives, she should still know something.

Emmett let go of the suitcase in his hand and strode towards Frances. His eyes that were as black as ink flickered with a sharp light as if he wanted to see through Frances. "Aunt, do you know why I

specially came to look for you?"

Emmett came to live with Frances after his mother passed away, but Frances had not treated Emmett as a child from then on.

No child in his teens could have such deep thoughts like Emmett.

From then on, Frances felt that she had never seen through this child.

Frances's expression froze for a moment and she said, "If you didn't tell me, how would I know why you came to me? Did you come from Holston City? You've been on the plane for so long and must be very tired. Go and rest first. Your room has been kept all this time."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and instructed the maid, "Help Emmett with his luggage and take him to his room to rest."

Immediately, a maid came up to help Emmett with his luggage. "Young Master, this way, please."

Emmett gave Frances a deep look and turned around to follow the maid into the room.

The servant sent Emmett to the room and left. Emmett closed the door and took out his phone to call Alyssa. He looked at the time and found that it was already 11 o'clock.

There was a time difference between Country M and China. It was currently night in China. Alyssa might have already fallen asleep at this time.

In the end, Emmett did not call Alyssa. Instead, he sent her a text message. "I arrived."

After sending the text message, he put his phone down. His phone rang with the notification of a new text message.

It was Alyssa who replied to him, "Have you just arrived? Have you eaten yet? Have you seen your aunt? "What are you going to say?"
