CEO's Substitute Bride

Emmett’s father? George Lawrence?

The rich and noble man who attracted countless women in Holston City when he was young? The same man who grew such a massive business empire?

He was actually calling her? For what?

A shiver ran down her spine as Alyssa was shocked for a several seconds before she found words to communicate. “Hello, Sir…”

Even though he was her father-in-law, she could not utter the word ‘Dad.’

“If you have time tonight, I want to treat you a dinner.” George’s voice was calm and firm tempered by years of trials. Though it sounded like an order, it wasn’t offensive.

Alyssa understood one thing between his words. Although George gave her a choice, she had no room for denials. She could only agree in response.

“Sure, I have time.”

“Great. I’ll send the driver to pick you up, see you tonight.”

He hung up after completing it.

From the beginning to the end, George’s tone was calm and strong. No one could refuse him. Now she could assume how cold Emmett would be.

Alyssa didn’t think about anything else, and threw aside the cell phone, quickly ran out the door. She took a taxi towards Emmett’s villa.

Her heart could not help but pound faster as she looked at the city going further and further. George said that the driver would pick her up. Then the driver would go to Emmett’s villa to pick her up.

…

Alyssa paid the bill and stood at the main door waiting for George’s man.

While she was waiting, she raised her head to look at Emmett’s villa.

The villa was built along the half way of the hill, so there were few people around. The white villa stood quietly in the forest, making it look strange. The black fences stood firmly around it, enough to keep people away, for sure.

The last time when she came here, she didn’t notice the exterior of the villa but now the more she saw it, the more it looked sinister.

A cold breeze rose from her feet.

A cold breeze rose from her feet.

It was a winder day and Alyssa’s face was pale due to the cold. She tugged her sleeves tighter against her fragile body as her teeth kept chattering.

Even so, she didn’t enter in the villa and waited patiently at the main entrance.

After a while, a black colored car stopped at the villa’s entrance and stopped. Alyssa was curious and then she saw a gentle middle-aged man exiting the car.

When he looked at Alyssa, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes but he quickly hid it.

This was the first time he saw Emmett’s wife. And as soon as he saw her, he could not help but be astonished. Although he wasn’t expecting a beauty, he wasn’t expecting this either!

No matter what, Emmett was the only son of Lawrences. Even if he was disfigured, he was still the heir of Lawrences. But this type of woman for the only heir of Lawrences… He didn’t expect to see this. But he still kept a straight face.

He stood in front of Alyssa and respectfully bowed. “Madam, I am Owen. Mr. Lawrence sent me over to pick you up for dinner.”

So it was the driver sent by George to pick her up.

“Oh… Sorry to bother you.” Alyssa joked and laughed out loud. She looked silly as if she couldn’t figure out what was happening.

Owen was stunned. Was she dull as well? But he soon organized his emotions and opened the car door for her.

“Madame, please get in the car.”

After that, he walked around and sat in front and drove away.

When the car disappeared in the forest, the curtains on the second floor of the villa were pulled open with a ‘swoosh’. Standing inside were Emmett and Frank. They were busy observing the scene in the front and their eyebrows furrowed together.

Frank looked at the car and then asked Emmett, “Boss, are you really going to let Madam see Mr. Lawrence just like that?”

“What else can I do?” Emmett’s voice was deep and sullen. He put his hands into the pocket and said, “She’s just a silly and dumb ugly woman. Even if they met, what can George do to her?”

“But Madam is just pretending!”
