CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Three seconds was just the time she took a breath. She had no time to think of a way to please him.

Wait!

She just asked him about Xavier. Did she offend him just like that? He actually wanted her to please

him?

Alyssa only thought for a moment before Emmett’s voice sounded in her ear, “Three seconds are up.”

Alyssa’s mouth twitched. She felt that Emmett was becoming more and more strange.

Emmett reached out his arm and lifted her chin to kiss her.

Half a minute later, Emmett left her lips. He looked at her misty eyes and said in a lecturing tone, “Do

you understand now?”

Alyssa nodded slowly.

He expressed his purpose so tactfully. It turned out that he wanted to… kiss her!

Emmett was in a good mood. He patted her head as if he was rewarded. “Wait for me in the car.”

Then, he turned around and got out of the car.

Alyssa only had time to lie by the window and ask him, “Where are you going?”

Emmett only glanced at her and did not say anything. He walked straight towards the Moore Group.

Alyssa pursed her lips. It seemed that she guessed right. Emmett came because of her resignation.

It was time to get off work. There were many people coming and going in and out of the Moore Group.

After Emmett’s identity was exposed, many people knew him.

Even those who didn’t know him would look at him a few more times because of his unique and noble

temperament.

Emmett did not seem to feel their gazes. He walked straight to the elevator.

The receptionist had just entered the office a few days ago. When she saw Emmett swaggering over,

she quickly chased after him. “Sir, may I ask who you are looking for?”

“I am looking for you, Director Moore.” Emmett turned his head and said lightly.

The receptionist wanted to ask, “Do you have an appointment?” However, she said, “Director Moore is

in the office.”

“Thank you.” Emmett still had no expression on his face. He walked into the elevator after saying that.

The receptionist only patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief when the elevator door closed.

The man’s eyes just now were too scary.

…

In the office.

After Sawyer finished dealing with the last document, he heard the sound of the door being pushed

open.

Who was so unruly that he didn’t even know to knock when he entered his office?

He frowned and looked up. He saw the slender Emmett walk in and lock the door behind him.

“Mr. Lawrence?” He put down the pen and stood up.

Emmett glanced at the stack of documents in front of him and said with a smile, “Mr. Moore is really

conscientious.”

“Did you come to find me for something? Please tell me directly.” When Sawyer spoke, he looked

straight at Emmett.

However, he only looked into Emmett’s eyes for a few seconds before he subconsciously looked away.

Emmett’s eyes were cold and intimidating. He was like a lone wolf in the forest. He was ruthless and

decisive. One look from him could make people shiver.

Sawyer shivered. He could not help but sit up straight, leaning against the back of the chair. He faced

Emmett seriously.

His small movements did not escape Emmett’s eyes.

“I heard about Mr. Moore when I was young, but I did not expect you to do so many wrong things when

you are old.”

Emmett sat down in front of Sawyer and reached 1.9 meters tall. Even though he was sitting, he was

still taller than Sawyer.

The suppression of height made Emmett’s aura stronger and more intimidating.

“Is Mr. Lawrence making fun of me?” Sawyer vaguely understood what Emmett’s purpose for coming

here was.

“Making fun of you? What you are doing is not worth making fun of.” Emmett sneered. “Do you think

you can trap Alyssa in the Moore Group and control her if you don’t let her resign?”

Sawyer’s expression suddenly changed. His face was tense.

Emmett saw him like this and smiled in satisfaction. “Just like back then, you and the people of

Lawrence family came to an agreement. In the end, you left the country. They thought you would die of

old age overseas, but you still came back. Nothing is absolute in this world.”

Sawyer’s expression became more and more awkward. “Mr. Lawrence, I don’t know what you are

talking about. Regarding Alyssa’s resignation, although she married you, her surname is still Moore, so

this matter is up to me to decide.”

“Is that so?”

The smile on Emmett’s face deepened. His voice became gentle but also revealed a strange feeling.

“Back then, you helped the Lawrence family find someone and helped my mother’s case. That’s why

the Lawrence family is grateful to you. It was clearly a good thing that Skylar and I made an

engagement. But why did they have to let you go abroad?”

Emmett’s words seemed to have touched Sawyer’s bottom line. He pointed at the door and roared. “I

want to go abroad myself! What does this have to do with you?! Go out! This is my company, I don’t

welcome you!”

“As long as I’m willing, this place can become mine tomorrow.”

Emmett narrowed his eyes. His face was cold and bone-piercing. “Don’t think that George or the other

people of Lawrence family can help you. They haven’t even taken care of their own matters yet.”

Sawyer’s expression changed drastically. His mouth was wide open, as if he had been frozen in place.

For a moment, he was frozen in place, unable to say a word.

He had seen Emmett in the past, but he only took a quick glance at the abandoned warehouse.

At that time, Emmett’s face was stained with dirt, and his eyes were dull. He looked as if he had been

scared silly.

At that time, he had thought that this child might have been crippled. Later, he asked for a marriage

alliance with the Lawrence family. The Lawrence family also felt that Emmett’s situation was not

optimistic, so they hastily agreed.

He never would have thought that fifteen years later, the child that he thought was already crippled

would actually sit in his office and calmly threaten him.

Sawyer had lived for more than half his life. The first mistake he made was to think that the child back

then was already crippled. That child was the current Emmett.

Sawyer shook his head and fell back into the chair. His voice was hoarse and old. “I don’t know

anything else. I only saw a woman outside the abandoned factory. She looks a little like your father.

She should be your father’s sister.”

Sawyer raised his head. There were many emotions in his eyes. He spoke in a dark voice. “Do I look

that easy to fool?”

He did not believe Sawyer’s words.

George’s sister was called Frances. She was Dylan’s mother and also his aunt.

Frances and Emmett’s mother had been good friends for decades. After his mother passed away,

Frances had been depressed for a few years.

Moreover, when his mother passed away, Frances was abroad.

“Mr. Lawrence, at my age, I have nothing else to ask for. I only want to protect the Moore Family’s

property.” Sawyer seemed to be extremely tired. He leaned back in his chair and sighed.

There was no need for him to fool Emmett anymore.
