Alyssa's voice fell and the carriage fell into a strange silence.

She looked at Frank who was driving in front and then turned to look at “Justin”. Seeing that he was lost in thought, she reached out and patted him. "You still haven't told me what your cousin likes to eat."

Emmett came back to his senses and looked at her deeply. After a few seconds, he said, "He is not picky about food. He eats everything."

He was telling the truth. Alyssa's cooking was very good. He had been eating her cooking for so long and every dish tasted good.

Alyssa felt that he said it as if he did not say anything.

After that, "Justin" was very quiet and did not speak again.

She did not know what he was thinking about.

The first thing she did when she got home was to find Emmett.

She ran to the door of the study and knocked on it. No one opened the door for a long time.

When she went downstairs, she met “Justin”. She asked him curiously, "Didn't you say Emmett was at home? I just knocked on the door of the book. No one answered."

Emmett turned his head slightly to look away, avoiding Alyssa's eyes. "Maybe he went back to his room to rest. Cousin's health is not very good and it is easy to get tired."

After you lied once, you needed to use countless lies to make up for it.

He had lied to Alyssa before because he thought she was interesting and teased her. He didn’t do it on purpose.

In the open, in the dark, he had heard her defend Emmett.

Emmett was born in a big family with a hundred years of history. He had heard a lot of things. He could tell at a glance whether Alyssa's words were true or fake.

It was because he could tell Alyssa was telling the truth that his feelings were so complicated that even he could not figure it out.

"Oh." Alyssa nodded and went downstairs.

Emmett watched her go into the kitchen and called Xavier. "Come out for a drink!”

"I have something to do." Xavier wanted to refuse, but Emmett hung up the phone before he could say anything.



In Golden Fountain.

Xavier reluctantly shook his wine glass and walked up to Emmett. "Tell me, what's bothering you so much that you want to drink with me in broad daylight?"

Emmett did not say anything. He just quietly took a sip of the wine.

Xavier saw him like this and realized that the matter might be a little serious. He stopped smiling and said seriously, "You have to tell me what's going on, don't you?"

Emmett finally turned his head and looked at him.

However, after looking at Xavier for a few seconds, he looked away and said lightly, "You don't understand even if I tell you."

Then why are you looking for me to drink? Xavier was confused.



When Alyssa was cooking, the bodyguard told her that Emmett and “Justin” went out together.

She had to eat alone.

Just as she picked up her chopsticks, her phone rang.

She took it out and saw that it was Aurora calling.

She stretched out a finger and tapped on the screen. In the end, she swiped at the green answer button.

Alyssa turned on the speaker and her tone was very light. "Hello?"

There was an ear-piercing noise on the other end of the phone and then there was a woman's sharp cry for help, "Alyssa, save me."

Alyssa looked at the phone number again and confirmed that it was Aurora's.

Aurora on the other end screamed and there was a sobbing tone in her voice, "Alyssa, it was my fault in the past. No matter what, I am your mother. You must save me."

Before Alyssa could speak, the phone was taken away. This time, it was a man who answered the phone.

"You are this woman's daughter? Listen carefully, prepare 50 million for us. Otherwise... "The man's voice suddenly turned sinister: "We'll kill her!"

Alyssa was shocked at first, but then she said coldly," I do not have money. If you want money, go to the Moore Group to find Jason!"

Aurora was kidnapped?

50 million was not a small amount!

If the kidnapper was targeting Aurora, he should be calling Jason right now. Why would he call her?

"Humph, you are Young Madame Lawrence. Do you not have money? It is a joke! I will give you two hours to prepare the money. I will contact you two hours later. You are not allowed to call the police. Otherwise, we will kill the hostage!"

The man hung up the phone.

Before he hung up, Alyssa heard Aurora's scream on the other end of the phone.

Alyssa's hand that was holding the phone suddenly tightened and her expression also changed slightly.

No matter how much Aurora went overboard, she was her biological mother after all. She could not just watch Aurora get into trouble and not care.

Alyssa took out her phone and called Jason as she walked outside.

No one answered the phone.
