CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

The relationship of Emmett and her wasn’t equal.

Emmett had a strong desire for control, and it was the same for her.

This was not the first time he had restricted her freedom.

Even if Winston didn’t have the accident, she and Emmett would have had other issues to quarrel

about.

Instead of waiting for an uncertain trial verdict, it was better for her to go out and find the truth.

Although the Lawrence family was very powerful and she was no different from an ant trying to shake a

tree when fighting them, she believed that the truth could never be hidden.

…

The Lawrence Group.

After Winston woke up, Emmett went to the Lawrence Group to take care of some official matters. He

then took some time to go to the hospital to accompany Winston.

At ten o’clock, he had just finished a meeting when he received a call from a bodyguard.

“Young Master, Young Madame is making a scene and smashing things. She even chased all the

maids out of the villa.”

Alyssa making a scene again?

On the Internet, it is said that a woman’s temper will become bad after getting pregnant.

Emmett thought for a moment and said, “Let her do as she pleases.”

When the bodyguard heard Emmett’s answer, he could not help but sigh in his heart. Young Master

really doted on Young Madame.

However, he still did not understand. Was Winston pushed down the stairs by Young Madame?

The people outside all said that Young Madame was the one who did it.

The young master seemed to suspect Young Madame as well, but judging from the young master’s

actions, the young master did not treat Young Madame harshly just because of Winston.

Forget it. Since he could not understand, he decided to drop the matter.

Emmett hung up the phone and walked towards the office.

The meeting room was only ten meters away from the CEO’s office. When he was halfway there, the

assistant took two urgent documents and asked him to sign.

He took the documents and walked towards the office while reading them.

After reading the second document, Emmett was about to sign it when he suddenly remembered what

the bodyguard had said.

Emmett suddenly stopped and reached out for his phone. But because his hand was shaking, he

accidentally dropped the phone.

Alyssa was not an unreasonable person. She would not be willful and did not have the temper of a

young lady. Instead, she knew what to do and she was always rational.

She did not have the habit of smashing things when she was in a bad mood.

The last time when she smashed things, she did it on purpose to steal the household register from his

study.

Then this time, she naturally had other motives for smashing things.

But because Alyssa had been unhappy recently, she “smashed things” to make some small

movements, so Emmett didn’t think there was anything wrong at first.

However, he had just recalled the bodyguard’s words.

Alyssa not only made a scene, but also chased all the servants out of the villa.

The assistant at the side helped Emmett pick up his phone.

The assistant was someone Emmett promoted after he started to work for the Lawrence Group.

In his heart, Emmett always had a poker face, like an emotionless robot.

When he saw Emmett’s panicked look, he almost thought that he had seen wrongly.

He handed the phone to Emmett and asked carefully, “President, what’s wrong?”

Emmett’s jaw was tightly clenched, and his expression was terrifyingly cold.

He ignored his assistant’s question and called his bodyguard.

The call was answered very quickly. Before he could say anything, the bodyguard’s anxious voice

sounded from the other end of the phone, “Young Master, Young Madame locked the front and back

doors of the villa. She may want to kill herself.”

Emmett suddenly stood up from the chair and shouted, “Smash the door open! If anything happens to

Alyssa, all of you will be buried with her!”

The assistant at the side did not dare to make a sound.

Of course, Emmett did not care about him. He held his phone and strode out.

He met George at the door.

George stopped him. “Where are you going? I have something to talk to you about.”

Emmett pushed George away.

He looked at George with a dark expression. There was no warmth in his eyes.

The two of them looked at each other for half a second. They didn’t say anything, but George couldn’t

help but take half a step back when he saw the hatred in Emmett’s eyes.

Hatred?

Why did he put on such an expression?

After that, Emmett closed his eyes and said indifferently, “Something happened at home, I need to go

back first.”

Without giving George a chance to speak, Emmett left in a hurry.

Emmett flew all the way. When he returned home, he saw the villa that had been burned by the fire.

Looking at the villa that had been burnt to a sorry state, Emmett stopped in his tracks. After two

seconds, he regained his senses. He raised his foot and ran into the villa.

However, he was stopped by the bodyguards.

“Young Master, the fire is too dangerous. You can’t go in now.”

But Emmett didn’t listen. He had practiced martial arts before. So whoever stopped him was beaten up

by him.

Those bodyguards did not dare to fight back. Even if they did fight back, they couldn’t win.

All the bodyguards who came to stop Emmett were beaten until they were lying on the ground and

could not get up.

Emmett rushed in.

The fire burned the villa beyond recognition.

The hall was still blazing. Emmett felt the heat and was in pain.

Frank also rushed over at this time.

He rushed over and hurriedly pulled Emmett back. “Young Master, you can’t go in!”

Emmett could not listen to anyone’s words now and directly shook off Frank’s hand.

After all, Frank had been with Emmett for the longest time and his words carried weight. When he

came, he also brought a few bodyguards. He directly gave the bodyguards a look.

The bodyguard understood. He heavily hit Emmett on the back of the neck and Emmett’s tall body

collapsed.

Frank ordered his men to drag Emmett out and lock him in the car.

Even though Emmett was knocked unconscious, Emmett’s brows were tightly knitted together. His

brows were knitted into a knot that could not be undone.

The fire department arrived very soon, but the fire in the villa was too strong. It took them two hours to

extinguish the fire.

The once beautiful and luxurious villa was burned to the ground by the fire. It was beyond recognition.

Frank brought his men into the villa.

The villa was burnt to the point where no one could see its original appearance, let alone look for

someone.

At this time, Emmett had already woken up.

The bodyguard did not dare lock him up anymore and let him out.

Emmett’s eyes were scarlet like a mad lion. He grabbed the bodyguard who let him out and asked

gloomily, “Where is Alyssa?”

“She… she.” When the bodyguard saw Emmett like this, he could not even complete a sentence.

Emmett pulled his shirt tightly and the veins on the back of his hands bulged. He shouted, “I asked you

where Alyssa is!”

The bodyguard stuttered for a long time, but he did not say anything.

Emmett shook him off and rushed into the villa.

Frank was looking for Alyssa inside with his men.

Emmett knew that if Alyssa was inside when the fire started, she would have been burnt to ashes by

the fire.

However, he still wanted to find her.

Frank saw Emmett rushing over and walked towards him.

“Young master!”

Emmett raised his fist and punched at Frank.

Emmett was normally very strong and right now his strength was extraordinary due to anger. Frank flew

away his punch. Emmett walked over with big strides and punched again.
