CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 394

However, the first time Hazel and Xavier's saw her, their tone was full of goodwill.

The tone of the woman in front of them was the same as Skylar’s.

Whether it was Skylar or the woman in front of her, Alyssa could hear the hidden meaning in their words. "You should have died long ago."

The woman in front of her also seemed to hate her very much.

Alyssa did not remember who she was, but seeing that she was somewhat similar to Emmett and had an arrogant look on her face, Alyssa could guess that she was also a member of the Lawrence family.

Elllena nodded slightly and called out in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "Miss Lawrence."

Kathleen was almost angered by her call of "Miss Lawrence.”

In her heart, Alyssa was a dead person. Now not only was she alive and well, but she was also found by Emmett.

She was surprised, angry, and terrified.

"Emmett, I am your sister. We have the same blood flowing in our bodies. No matter what I do, I will do it for you, for the Lawrence family."

Now that things had come to this, Kathleen could not find any other words to say.

She could only hope that she had a certain position in Emmett's heart.

Emmett did not have a smile on his face, nor did he seem to be angry at all. He slightly raised his hand and signaled for the maid to take Angela away.

Angela was very focused on playing with the toys before. Only when the maid picked her up did she realize that Alyssa was already here.

When she saw Alyssa, Angela's eyes, which were like black grapes, suddenly lit up. She fluttered her body and wanted to go down to find Alyssa.

"Auntie Alyssa!"

The maid looked in Emmett's direction with a troubled expression.

Seeing this, Alyssa stepped forward and coaxed Angela gently, "I have something to do right now. Go play with the other aunties for a while. I will look for you later, okay?"

Angela's small face fell. Clearly, she was unwilling to leave, but she still said, "Okay."

An obedient and sensible child would always be especially lovable. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

When Angela was carried away, the atmosphere in the hall became even more solemn.

Frank passed the two DNA test reports to Emmett, and Emmett directly threw them onto Kathleen. "Miss Kathleen Lawrence, explain why you keep telling me that Marilyn is Angela's biological mother."

Although Kathleen had already noticed that Emmett was going to take it seriously this time, she did not expect him to be so direct in front of Alyssa.

Kathleen clenched her hands tightly and her expression became even uglier. She said in a panic, "At that time. . . I thought that Alyssa. . . was already dead. The child could not live without a mother. And you also need a wife. What I have done is all for you. Trust me."

At the beginning, she said it with some difficulty, but the more she said it, the smoother it became.

The more Kathleen said, the more excited she became. The more she said, the more determined she became.

Compared to Kathleen's excitement, Emmett appeared very cold.

He looked coldly at Kathleen. There was not a trace of superfluous expression on his face. The corner of his lips raised into a small arc, as if he was mocking her. "I remember that I asked you if you lied to me before. What did you say at that time?"

Kathleen's expression froze.

She looked up at Emmett in disbelief. "Did you suspect me at that time? Did you find Alyssa long ago? Did you never believe me?"

"If I did not believe you, would I be fooled by you for three whole years?"

Emmett's face finally showed signs of emotion. There was a trace of disappointment in his dark eyes.

His tone was resolute. "I don't know how I got along with you in the past, but I gave you a chance before, Kathleen."

He was only two minutes younger than Kathleen. Whether it was before or now, he had never called Kathleen older sister.

Kathleen seemed to have been drained of all her strength. She sat there paralyzed and could not say a word.

She felt that she still did not understand Emmett at all.

However, she could hear the determination in Emmett's words.

She knew that what happened in the childhood might be the root cause why her relationship with Emmett was so thin.

However, she was also trying to repair the relationship between her and Emmett.

She felt that Emmett should find a wife that was more suitable for him. Was she wrong?

No, she was not wrong.

It was Emmett who was stubborn and persisting in his mistakes!

Kathleen shook her head and said unwillingly, "Emmett, you have been bewitched by that woman!"

She suddenly stood up and pointed at Alyssa and said hysterically, "How is this woman good? She is

not worthy of you at all! You liked her three years ago but you have lost your memory now. Why do you still choose her? Why?”

There was a flash of impatience in Emmett's eyes. He didn't even bother to look at her.

Frank gave the bodyguard a look and someone came over to take Kathleen out.

The Lawrence Group was a family business and only those who held the most power had the right to speak.

The current highest executive of the Lawrence Group was Emmett. His position in the Lawrence family was naturally the highest.

Although Kathleen’s position was only slightly lower than his, she was not the heir.

Speaking of which, Kathleen had to listen to Emmett. It was just that Emmett did not really care about these things in the past few years.

However, facts proved that he was very wrong.

Kathleen went out and only Emmett, Alyssa and Sampson were left in the hall.

Emmett looked up at Sampson and his dark eyes were solemn. "Mr. Sampson West, please explain why my wife has become your fiancée all of the sudden.”

Sampson curled his lips and smiled in a little unceremoniously. "Your wife? Didn’t that shrewd sister of yours complete the divorce formalities for you in order to play tricks behind your back?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Alyssa felt the temperature in the room drop a few degrees.

She reached out and touched her forearm. When she raised her eyes, she saw Emmett's gloomy face, so she could only quickly lower her head again.

She could feel that Sampson seemed to be deliberately provoking Emmett, and Emmett seemed to have really been provoked by him.

"So what if we are divorced? She is still the mother of my child." Emmett narrowed his eyes slightly. "It is rare to see someone like Mr. West to be so righteous after taking advantage of someone when she’s down.”

"You must be joking, Mr. Lawrence. This is also the first time I have seen someone so miserably deceived by his own sister. It is really rare." Sampson's voice carried a trace of a smile, as if he was chatting with a friend.

The two of them opposed each other. The atmosphere in the hall became even more tense.

Emmett sneered. "So what? It's not easy for someone like Mr. West, who has no relatives or friends, to be tricked."

"Heh."

Sampson's laugh was forcefully squeezed out of his throat. It was obvious that he was already very angry.

Alyssa turned to look at him and saw that his expression had become very ugly.

He took a deep breath and stood up. He turned to Alyssa and said, "You talk to him. I'll go outside and take a breath."

Although he had tried his best to suppress his anger, his tensed face still betrayed him.
