CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 130

Emmett's goal was to push the Moore Group to the edge of the abyss until Jason couldn't hold on any longer and Old Master Moore returned to the country.

It had been eleven years since Old Master Moore left the country in a hurry to retire.

In the past eleven years, Old Master Moore had basically never returned to the country.

Even if they wanted to reunite, it was Jason who brought his family overseas to look for Old Master Moore. However, Alyssa had never been taken abroad by him.

Alyssa also suspected that Dylan's matter might have something to do with Emmett.

After all, it was impossible for the Nine Clouds to really let Dylan take over the Moore Group endorsement, and furthermore Xavier and Emmett had a deep relationship.

But if this matter was related to Emmett, then why did he want to deliberately force Old Master Moore to return to the country?

Alyssa suddenly raised her head and looked at Hazel. "If Skylar and Emmett's engagement was related to the kidnapping at that time, then... Emmett has always wanted to force my grandfather to return to the country because my grandfather is also related to the kidnapping case!"

Hazel shook her head. “But if your grandfather was related to the kidnapping of Emmett and his mother, why would the Lawrence family let him retire overseas and let the two families marry each other?"

Alyssa felt that Hazel's words made sense.

The series of things that the Lawrence family did gave people the feeling that they were trying to please the Moore family.

A thought flashed through Alyssa's mind. She frowned and said, "My grandfather is in good health. There is no need for him to go abroad to retire more than ten years ago. There must be some reason that forced him to go abroad. Skylar and Emmett's engagement is strange. And most importantly, these two things happened at the same time."

Pausing for a moment, Alyssa continued, "I don't believe that there is such a coincidence in the world. I suspect that my grandfather must have found out about the secret of the Lawrence family and used it to form a marriage agreement with the Lawrence family. However, the Lawrence family is very careful. They told my grandfather to go abroad and forbid him from coming back."

After she finished speaking, she saw Hazel looking at her with a dumbfounded expression.

Alyssa also felt that her imagination was too rich, "Do you think I guessed wrong?"

Hazel shook her head, "No, I think what you said makes too much sense. Moreover, my father also came into contact with that case back then. Your grandfather was indeed related to that case, but he did not affect the case much."

…

At night.

Alyssa turned on the tap as she looked at the Weibo discussion online about Dylan being threatened.

"Alyssa!"

Justin's voice came from outside.

His voice came not from far away. "Alyssa, are you cooking?"

Alyssa put down her phone and looked outside the kitchen. She saw Justin running over.

Justin ran in and was about to uncover the pot. "What are you cooking? It smells good!"

"Braised pork." Alyssa patted his hand. "The dishes are not ready yet. Go out and wait."

"Okay." Justin smiled and withdrew his hand and ran out like a wisp of smoke.

Emmett did not come back when they were having dinner. E

Alyssa looked at Emmett's usual seat and was slightly lost in thought.

Justin picked up a piece of Braised Pork and stuffed it into his mouth. His mouth was full of oil. He said vaguely, "If you miss my cousin, then you should call him."

"Who missed him?" Alyssa picked up another piece of meat for him. "Eat yours."

"Oh." Justin obviously did not believe her words.

After the two finished their meal, Emmett still did not come back.

Alyssa went back to her room and took a shower. She sat on the bed and looked at the empty room. She kept feeling that something was wrong.

Could it be because Emmett was not here?

Suddenly, her phone on the bedside table vibrated.

Alyssa took it and saw that it was Emmett calling.

She hesitated for three seconds and picked it up.

"Hello?"

It was not Emmett's voice on the other end of the phone. "Alyssa, I am Xavier. Something happened to Emmett. Come to Golden Fountain quicklu. I have already asked Frank to pick you up."

Xavier's tone was very urgent, which made Alyssa feel uneasy.

She remembered the gunshot injury on Emmett’s body last time.

She panicked. She changed her clothes and quickly ran downstairs.

Frank had just arrived and saw Alyssa coming down in a panic. His eyes flashed. "Young Madame, I'll bring you to Golden Fountain."

…

Frank drove very fast and arrived in Golden Fountain not long after.

Not until she got out of the car, Alyssa remembered to ask him, "What happened to Emmett?"

"You'll know when you see him." Frank lowered his head and looked very respectful.

Alyssa was suspicious. Frank did not look very nervous.

As soon as she entered Golden Fountain, she saw Xavier.

When Xavier saw her, he immediately walked up to her. “Alyssa, you're here."

"Where's Emmett?" Alyssa asked him.

Xavier coughed. "I'll take you to him."

The two of them went into the elevator. Xavier was still explaining to her, "Emmett had an accident. He was not close to anyone. I don't know who I should look for other than you."
