CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 416

Emmett’s gaze was a little weird which was making Alyssa uncomfortable. Alyssa turned to look at Emmett.

However, the moment she turned her head, Emmett looked away as if he had not seen her at all.

Alyssa pursed her lips. Just now she really felt Emmett was looking at her.

During the meal, Emmett didn't say anything.

However, Alyssa always felt that Emmett was acting weird today.

What had happened to this man?

Alyssa could not figure it out.

Until the night, when Alyssa came out after coaxing Angela to sleep, she suddenly saw Emmett standing at the door.

Alyssa was caught off guard and was shocked by him as she didn’t expect Emmett to be here.

She took a deep breath and looked at Emmett unhappily, "What are you standing here for?"

With an ice cold face, he did not say anything. He just stood guard at the door. She didn't know what he wanted to do.

"Come with me."

After Emmett said those three words, he turned around to leave.

Alyssa looked confused, but she still followed him.

When they reached the study room, Emmett took out a recording pen.

He pressed the play button in front of her.

This recording pen was the one Kathleen had given to Emmett during the day.

A familiar voice came from inside.

Alyssa did not expect Kathleen to actually have recorded their conversation. Although her methods were a bit low, with Emmett's unpredictable personality, who knew what he would think after hearing this kind of recording.

When Kathleen came in this morning, Alyssa pissed Kathleen off causing the later to leave. Emmett knew this when he returned at noon. But Emmett did not say anything to Alyssa. So she thought this matter was over.

However, Alyssa did not expect Emmett would hear their conversation and then question her. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

After the recording was over, Emmett crossed his arms and stared at her indifferently.

He did not speak, nor did he have any expression on his face.

Alyssa could not figure out what he was thinking, so she could only stare at him without saying anything.

"How much is it to suit you?" Emmett asked coldly.

Alyssa remembered what she had said and was at a loss for words.

Emmett narrowed his eyes and took a step forward. The tip of his shoe had already touched Alyssa's shoe.

The two of them were too close. Alyssa could even feel the biting cold aura from Emmett's body.

She wanted to take a step back. But under Emmett's gaze, her feet seemed to have grown roots and did not dare to move.

Emmett's black eyes narrowed dangerously. His voice was neither light nor heavy as it sounded on top of her head. "Let me put it another way. How much do you think I'm worth?"

Alyssa's mind was working very fast as she said, "Price. . . priceless"

However, because she was nervous, her voice was a little stuttering.

Emmett raised his eyebrows as if he seemed to be surprised that Alyssa would speak like this.

Seeing that Emmett did not speak, Alyssa felt a little nervous in her heart.

Could it be that her words were too hypocritical, that Emmett did not believe it?

But the next moment, Emmett's actions made her dispel her doubts.

He suddenly reached out and gently pressed his fingers on Alyssa's lips, caressing them.

Immediately after, Alyssa heard Emmett’s deliberately lower his voice, "You speak so well. Your mouth must be very sweet."

His voice was originally very deep, but when he deliberately lowered his voice, it revealed the sexiness of a mature man.

Alyssa's body stiffened, allowing Emmett's finger to press on her lips. People would look flirtatious when they did this, but when Emmett Lawrence did it, she did not feel it was light at all.

Alyssa was stunned for more than ten seconds before she suddenly reacted. She slapped Emmett's hand away and took a step back. "Mr. Lawrence, please pay attention to your identity. Don't be like this all the time."

"Well, OK." Emmett replied calmly.

Alyssa did not know whether he would listen to her or not. She explained to him, "I only said those words in the recording to anger your sister. Don't take it seriously."

Emmett replied, "Okay, I see."

Alyssa endured it and took a deep breath.

Forget it. She could not figure out what this person was thinking. She simply did not care.

After Alyssa went out, Emmett lightly pinched his fingers and curled his lips into a smile.

Kathleen had not been having a good time these few days.

Ever since she went to look for Emmett with the recording that day, Emmett had started to take over power in the company.

In these few years, Emmett had been in charge of all the big and small decisions in the company.

Those shareholders also understood that under Emmett's leadership, they could earn more money.

However, in the past three years, Emmett did not explicitly state that he wanted to monopolize the power. Naturally, those shareholders did not express anything.

Now that Emmett wanted to take over the power, almost all the shareholders gathered around and naturally turned to Emmett.

In the business world, there were no pure friends or enemies, only common interests.

For a moment, Kathleen's situation in the Lawrence Group became delicate and she was embarrassed.

She was still the vice president, but she did not have the right to speak, nor did she have any real power.

Usually, she only dealt with some unimportant contracts.

She had completely lost her power, and became a person who didn't need anything in the Lawrence Group.

Kathleen thought about it, but in the end, she still decided to look for Emmett.

However, when she reached the door of the office, she was stopped by Emmett's secretary. "Vice President, please stop. Some senior managers are reporting their words inside.”

"Do you want me to wait outside?" Kathleen glanced over. The secretary immediately stopped talking, but the secretary did not move away and was blocking Kathleen from entering.

At this time, a few senior executives who were looking for Emmett to report their work walked out.

When they saw Kathleen, they also called out, "Hello, Vice President."

Kathleen's expression was normal as she nodded and walked in.

The moment she closed the door, she angrily walked towards Emmett's office. "Emmett!"

Emmett looked up from the pile of documents and expressionlessly looked at Kathleen.

Kathleen, who originally had been aggressive, immediately lost half of her arrogance when he looked at her.

"Emmett, what do you mean now? Are you trying to take advantage of me? Those shareholders are all

after benefits. Can they be trusted? I am your blood relative. I am the person you should trust the most!"

Frank was about to deliver some documents to Emmett and heard Kathleen's words as soon as he pushed the door open.

He realized that the time was not right and was about to leave.

However, Emmett had already seen him and said, "Bring it in."

Frank had no choice but come in and delivered the documents to Emmett's desk.

With outsiders around, Kathleen did not continue what she had just said.

She was prepared to wait for Frank to leave before continuing, but when Frank was about to leave, he was stopped by Emmett. "Wait a moment."

Emmett and Frank were talking, leaving Kathleen to the side.

Kathleen suppressed her anger and waited for Emmett and Frank to finish their conversation.

However, when Frank and Emmett finished their conversation, Emmett said, "Frank, ask the vice president to leave."

Frank knew about what Emmett had been doing in the company recently.

So he could understand why Kathleen had come here. But it was in vain.

Emmett would never listen to others once he took a decision.

He walked straight to Kathleen and asked her to leave in a euphemistic manner. "Vice President, Young Master still has works to take care of."

Kathleen did not even look at Frank. She walked straight to Emmett and picked up the documents in front of him and threw them to the side. "Did you hear what I said just now?"
