CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Chapter 316

After the kidnapping that year, Emmett had been fighting with George for a long time.

At that time, he didn't think about what was unusual about the kidnapping case. He just felt that George

was also responsible for it.

The father and son pair started to have estrangement at that time.

After George sent Emmett out of the country to live with Frances and her family, his relationship with

George completely broke apart.

When he returned to the country, he built his own villa outside and founded the D-Fronts Media. At the

meanwhile, the conflict and estrangement between him and George had also deepened day by day.

"Yes." When Emmett looked at George, George was also looking at him.

The two of them did not look like father and son. Instead, they were very unfamiliar with each other.

Emmett's gaze finally stopped on George's eyes. He asked in an indifferent voice, "Why are you

looking for me?"

"I just want to see where you live." George’s tone was as cold as Emmett’s.

In the past few years, George had also tried to improve his relationship with Emmett. However, they

had barely spoken with each other in the recent years.

"Is that so? How can you suddenly care so much about me?" Emmett looked at him with a faint smile.

What George hated the most was such an expression on Emmett’s face, which made it impossible for

him to read Emmett’s mind.

He frowned slightly. "Since you're back, go and see your grandfather."

"Okay, let's have lunch together." Emmett stood up and went to the place where Alfred was living.

After Alfred was discharged from the hospital, Emmett seldom came to visit him.

The main reason was that Emmett had been very busy, and the other reason was that he did not want

to go back to Lawrence’s Mansion.

Emmett stood at the door of Alfred's room and paused for a moment. He then pushed the door open

and walked in.

When the servant who took care of Alfred saw Emmett, he whispered to Alfred, "Old Master, the Young

Master is here to see you."

Alfred was sitting in a wheelchair. His legs were covered with a thin blanket. He was staring out of the

window in a daze. No one knew what he was looking at.

He did not respond to the servant's words.

The servant looked at Emmett and nodded slightly. He called out respectfully, "Young Master."

"You may leave."

After the servant left, Emmett walked over to Alfred and squatted down in front of him. "Grandpa, I’m

Emmett. I'm here to see you."

His voice caught Alfred's attention.

Alfred turned his head to look at Emmett. His eyes were lifeless. He just kept staring at Emmett, and

his mouth was unconsciously whimpering.

Emmett pursed his lips into a straight line. A puzzled look appeared between his brows. He said in a

deep voice, "Grandpa, what exactly do you want to tell me?"

What Alfred had told him during the New Year indication that there was more to be known about the

kidnapping case back then.

However, what Alfred wanted to tell him was definitely not as simple as the little secrets behind the

kidnapping case.

It must be so severe that, those people didn’t hesitate to put Alfred into this state.

What made George and the others so afraid?

What kind of role did Frances play in the kidnapping case many years ago and in the accident that had

happened to Alfred now?

In the end, Emmett failed to get any reaction from Alfred.

Emmett sat with Alfred for a while, then he got up and left.

The servant was guarding at the door. When he saw Emmett come out, she called out respectfully,

"Young Master."

"Grandpa has always been like this?" Emmett stopped and asked coldly.

The servant shivered slightly and replied, "Yes, the old man's condition has always been like this. He

receives medical inspections regularly every month. And the doctor says he is in good health.”

After Emmett heard that, he thought for a moment and said, "Take good care of him."

"Yes."

Emmett stayed at the old residence for lunch.

There were a lot of people in Lawrence family, but very few were present at home on a working day.

During the meal, there were only Emmett and George.

Emmett took the wine from the servant and looked up at George. "Have some wine."

George raised his eyebrows slightly and looked very surprised. "Do you want to drink with me?"

Emmett did not say much. He took George's wine glass and poured some wine into it. After that, he

handed it to George.

George looked at him for a few seconds, and finally took it.

Emmett picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it in one gulp. He then turned the glass

upside down for George to see, indicating that he had drunk it up.

George did not drink it all in one gulp like Emmett did. He only took a small sip. "I am too old to be

compared to young people. I have to drink slowly."

"You are only in your fifties, and you are already starting to cherish your life?" Emmett smiled

meaningfully. It was difficult to read what he was feeling from the expression.

He and George had always been like this for a long time. So George was not very angry.

"That's not it. I'm still waiting to have a sip of my daughter-in-law's toast tea." George asked as if he did

not mean to. "Kathleen introduced you to a girl. Have you met her?"

"I've met her." Emmett added wine to George's glass as he spoke.

George took a sip and asked slowly. "How do you feel?"

Emmett did not speak. He just looked at George quietly.

George frowned at first, then reached out to support his forehead. He looked a little dizzy.

Emmett curled his lips slightly and said sarcastically, "You are indeed old. How can you feel dizzy after

drinking so little wine?”

"Wine…" George couldn’t even finish a sentence before he fainted on the dining table. His head

knocked heavily on the table.

Emmett sat quietly for three seconds before he picked up the wet towel at the side and wiped off the

powder from his left fingernail. He walked slowly to George and pulled out a strand of his hair from his

head.

Although it was a dirty trick, it was practical.

…

Alyssa asked Hazel to have dinner.

Hazel only contacted her because Hazel was concerned about what happened last night. She left

without saying a word. It was time to treat Hazel to a meal to accompany her sins.

Hazel's crew just happened to have a few days off. When Alyssa said that she would treat her to a

meal, she naturally happily agreed.

Alyssa booked a very private restaurant in advance and went to wait for Hazel in advance.

Before Hazel came, Alyssa ordered a glass of watermelon juice for her.

The watermelon juice was just served when Hazel came.

Hazel walked to the opposite side of Alyssa and sat down. She reached out and pulled her hair. "The

weather is so hot."

Alyssa pushed the watermelon juice in front of her and said "Have a drink. It was just served."

"I love you." Hazel exaggeratedly blew her a kiss. She held the watermelon juice and drank it in one

gulp.

Only now did Alyssa realize that Hazel did not put on makeup.

"You went out without makeup today. Aren't you afraid of being secretly filmed?" Hazel was a celebrity

and cared of her own image in front of the public. So in general, she wouldn’t come out without any

makeup.

After Hazel drank the watermelon juice, she collapsed on the sofa in satisfaction. "I am walking the

path of a real actor now. Even if I do not put on makeup, I am still a natural beauty. I am not worried at

all."
