CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 186

“Grandfather."

Alyssa went downstairs and sat opposite Winston.

Winston smiled when he saw Alyssa. "I decided to come here today. I was worried that there was no one in your house."

Alyssa smiled with him. She was a little embarrassed and did not know what to say.

Winston asked, "Where is Emmett?"

Jessie brought Alyssa a cup of tea. Alyssa held the cup and said, "He went to work at the company."

Winston suddenly had a look of realization. "I am old and muddle-headed. I thought you guys were as idle as an old man like me. I am muddle-headed."

"Grandpa is getting stronger and stronger. How can he be muddle-headed?" Alyssa smiled. She could not guess Winston's real motive for coming to her.

"I left early back then. Emmett's father is now in his fifties. He is not as energetic as before. It is said that Emmett opened a company with others outside. Do you know what kind of company he opened?"

Alyssa naturally understood what Winston meant when he said that.

Emmett had founded the Nine Clouds Media by himself. He had always worked in the Nine Clouds Media and did not care about the family business of the Lawrence's.

When Winston mentioned that Emmett's father was not as energetic as before, his meaning was obvious. He wanted Emmett to return to the Lawrence Group to work.

Winston did not know, so Alyssa was vague. "I know a little. I don't know much."

Winston smiled and said faintly, "Sooner or later, the Lawrence Group will want Emmett to take over. It is time for him to let go of these small matters outside. Don't you think so?"

As the leader of the entertainment industry in the country, Nine Clouds Media was just a small matter to Winston.

It was not an exaggeration for him to say so.

After all, the Lawrence Group was a wealthy family. The wealth and resources accumulated by several generations were naturally incomparable to Emmett's Nine Clouds Media.

"I'm not very clear about Emmett's work." Alyssa lowered her eyes, looking very humble.


Winston's purpose for coming today was to ask her to persuade Emmett to return to the Lawrence Group to take over the family business.

But why did he want her to persuade him?

Since he came to find her, it meant that Emmett did not want to return to the Lawrence Group himself.

Naturally, she wouldn't admit anything in front of Winston.

When Winston heard this, the smile on his face faded. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Alyssa.

Alyssa felt the pressure emitted from his body. Her entire body tensed up.

But she did not say anything.

The two of them just stood there for a while. Suddenly, Winston laughed out loud, "That brat's eyes are really good!"

Alyssa released her clenched fists. Her palms were wet.

She was not as calm as she looked on the surface. She was also afraid in her heart.

Winston was different from Sawyer. He was a person who had seen great scenes and experienced great storms. When he was young, he dominated the business world. Now that he was old, even if he retired, his aura did not decrease.

This might be the special thing about the Lawrence family.

They had wealth and status that others could not compare to. Naturally, their confidence and aura were greater than ordinary people.

This was engraved in their bones, and others could not learn it.

"Then I'll be frank. I want Emmett to return to the Lawrence Group to take over the family business. Last time in the old residence, I talked to him about this matter, but he rejected it. Help me persuade him, just treat it as me asking you."

Winston's tone suddenly became very sincere and piteous. Alyssa could not refuse this time.

"I can help you mention it to him. But he does not even listen to what you say, I am afraid…"

Winston smiled in satisfaction and interrupted her. "Don't worry. I know what to do."

Winston left with satisfaction after knowing Alyssa would mention it in front of Emmett.

He came and went in a hurry. It could be seen that when the old master was young, he was a man of his word. Emmett probably got that from him.

After sending Winston off, Alyssa received Emmett’s phone call.

As soon as the call connected, Emmett asked her, "Have you eaten?"

"I was just about to eat." After chatting with Winston for a while, it was almost noon.

Emmett asked again, "Grandpa left?

"Did you know he would come?" Alyssa picked up her chopsticks and prepared to eat, but she put them down when she heard him.

Emmett sneered. "Otherwise, what other tricks would he have?"

His tone was very arrogant.

Alyssa did not have much appetite. She just ate something and put her chopsticks away. She planned to eat it again in the afternoon.

However, Emmett, who was supposed to be at the company, actually came back at noon.

"Shouldn’t you be in the company?"
