CEO's Substitute Bride

Of course, the conversation between the two women naturally did not escape Frank’s ears.

Frank pretended to cough and interrupted the woman.

When the woman thought that Frank was Emmett's subordinate, she also realized that what she said was not right.

After all, she wanted Frank to help her put in a good word for Emmett.

Thinking like this, she was just about to say something to Frank, when she heard Frank say politely, "I'm sorry, please step aside."

The woman had no choice but to move aside.

Frank walked straight to Alyssa and said. "Mrs. Law… Miss Moore."

He was used to calling her “Mrs. Lawrence”, so he had almost called her Mrs. Lawrence just now.

After a brief moment of surprise, Alyssa called out kindly, "Special Assistant Baron."

Frank quietly looked around. While others were not paying attention to them, he whispered to Alyssa, "Mrs. Lawrence, have you met Mr. Lawrence?"

"Yes." After Alyssa said that, she saw Emmett walk over from behind. She pointed her chin behind Frank and said, "He is here."

When Frank saw Emmett, he let out a sigh of relief.

As soon as Emmett arrived, he went to the bathroom. God knew how annoying it was for him to be surrounded by those groups of women, who kept asking questions.

Frank quickly walked towards Emmett. "Mr. Lawrence."

"Yes." Emmett replied and looked at Alyssa as if he was not paying attention.

Alyssa turned her head and walked to the other side.

Other than Emmett, Frank and Henry, Alyssa did not know anyone else at the banquet.

Of course, no one took the initiative to talk to Alyssa, so she walked to an inconspicuous corner and sat down.

She had chosen her seat well. She sat on the high chair and could almost see the entire banquet hall.

Emmett was tall and had a cold temperament. He was particularly eye-catching as he walked in the crowd.

Alyssa only sat down for a few minutes before she saw more and more women coming to talk to Emmett.

Emmett treated them coldly, but even so, people kept going up, trying to attract Emmett's attention.

In the past, Emmett did not attend events or banquets. Therefore, even if these women had the intention, there was no opportunity for them to chat with him. Now that Emmett often appeared in public, and he was "single," these women would certainly not let go of this opportunity.

Alyssa naturally understood the reason.

Other than the title of Mrs. Lawrence, what else these woman wanted?

But when she saw the way those women looked at Emmett, it was as if they wanted to swallow him. Alyssa felt very unhappy.

"This is just the beginning. Can't you take it?"

At this time, Henry's voice suddenly sounded beside Alyssa's ear.

Alyssa turned her head and saw Henry sitting next to her with a glass of champagne in his hand. He was looking at her with a smile.

Alyssa hooked her lips and said without a smile, "This is none of your business."

"Alyssa, I am doing this for your own good." Henry's expression became more serious. "Emmett is treacherous and cunning. It is not easy to get along with the Lawrences. You are not their match."

"Then tell me, how difficult it is to get along with them?" Alyssa was obviously trying to trick Henry to say something.

Henry shook his head. "I'm serious. Even if you are not with Emmett, you may not be with me. I just think you can choose a more suitable person."

Alyssa's expression was slightly cold. "I know if it is suitable or not."

Henry was silent for a moment. He lowered his voice and said, "Do you think a person who can't even protect his own child is suitable for you?"

When Alyssa heard this, her hand that was holding the champagne suddenly tightened.

Regarding the child, other than her, Emmett, and the people they trusted, no one else should know about it.

She put down the champagne in her hand and looked at Henry seriously. "How did you know?"

"It seems that my guess is correct." Henry smiled and sighed.

Alyssa did not say anything and waited for him to continue.

Henry looked in Emmett's direction and slowly said. "I know you. If you give birth to the child, you will definitely take care of it by your side. But you are living alone now. You do not have a child with you. If the child is with Emmett, you will not be separated from him for the sake of the child."

Speaking up to this point, Henry paused slightly. He looked at Alyssa's expression before continuing, "The child is not by your side and also not by Emmett's side. What does this mean?"

Alyssa's face was cold. She slightly lowered her eyes and restrained the emotions in her eyes. "So, where do you think our child is?"

The words “our child” seemed to have provoked Henry.

Henry's expression also turned cold. "You will not be happy with Emmett. He looks glorious, but he is also under the control of the Lawrence family."

"Enough." Alyssa interrupted him. "What will happen to me and Emmett will be my problem."

Henry did not force Alyssa anymore.

The two of them sat side by side and neither of them spoke.

"The woman in the black dress…"
