CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 417

In an instant, the air pressure in the office dropped several degrees.

Emmett raised his eyes and looked at Kathleen coldly. He said in a low voice yet very threatening voice, "Get out of here!"

His ink-like eyes were filled with a gloomy hostility.

Kathleen had never seen Emmett like this before. She was so scared that she took two steps back and she forgot to speak for a moment.

Emmett sneered. He suddenly stood up and walked in front of Kathleen. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Kathleen's neck.

Emmett's action was too sudden. Even Frank could not help but cry out, "Young Master!"

Emmett held Kathleen's neck firmly. It did not look light because Kathleen's entire face was red to the point of turning blue.

Kathleen grabbed Emmett's arm and wanted to slap it away. However, Emmett's hand seemed to be welded to her neck. No matter how she patted or grabbed, he did not move at all.

She struggled to squeeze out three words from her throat. "Get. . . off. . . me. . ."

"When I was a little kid, didn't you think I was a devil? Didn’t you always hate me? And you still dare to lie to me again and again. Do you know the consequences of angering the devil?"

Emmett stared at Kathleen with a cold expression. No trace of warmth could be seen in his eyes.

The only thing that had in his eyes was endless gloominess.

Frank had never seen Emmett so fierce before. If this continued, Emmett would really strangle Kathleen to death.

"Young Master, quickly let go. You will strangle Miss Lawrence to death!" Frank knew that Emmett had a strange temperament. At this time, he did not dare to touch him. He only dared to persuade him from the side.

However, how could Emmett be in the mood to listen to him right now? Emmett ignored Frank totally.

Frank did not dare to call the security guards over. This kind of thing could not be known by others.

Seeing that Kathleen was about to faint, Frank seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He took out his phone and pulled out the phone of Alyssa.

Fortunately, the phone was picked up very quickly.

Alyssa's voice sounded on the phone. "Hello?"

"Miss Moore, I am Frank. Please say a few words to the Young Master."


"What do you want me to say? What happened?" Hearing this, Alyssa frowned.

"You can say anything to him."

After Frank finished speaking, he moved the phone to Emmett’s ear. "Young Master, this is from Miss Moore."

Emmett ignored Frank. His eyes were full of killing intent.

He wanted to kill Kathleen. He wanted to put end to all the lies she had been telling him.

He really wanted to strangle Kathleen to death.

Emmett had never been a good person and his hands were not clean either.

Frank was anxious and said directly, "Young Master, it is Alyssa's phone. Alyssa! She is looking for you urgently. Can you answer it?"

As if the word "Alyssa" had touched his spirit, Emmett seemed to have finally come back to his senses. He turned to look at Frank and said coldly, "Alyssa?"

Frank nodded. "Yes, Alyssa."

Frank turned on the speaker. So Alyssa, who was on the other end of the phone, also heard his conversation with Emmett.

Even through the phone, Alyssa could feel that something was wrong with Emmett.

So, she tentatively called out over the phone, "Emmett?"

Hearing her voice, Emmett was stunned for a moment, before he reached for his phone. Naturally, he let go of Kathleen.

Kathleen did not have any support and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Frank hurriedly helped Kathleen to the sofa and laid down. He did not have time to care about Kathleen. All his attention was on Emmett.

Emmett stood where he was, holding the phone and said, "Hi, Alyssa."

His tone sounded no different than usual, but there was a hint of strangeness in it.

Alyssa thought of the conversation Emmett had with Frank and asked, "Emmett, what were you doing just now?"

What was he doing just now?

Emmett looked down at his hand. He then looked up at Kathleen, who was lying on the sofa in a half-unconscious state. He withdrew his gaze and regained his sense.

He asked, "I was working on some documents just now. What business do you have with me?"

"I..." Actually, Frank called her. She did not have anything to talk to Emmett about.

However, she could only make up a random reason. "I'm asking you if you want to come back for lunch."

Emmett was silent for a moment, then he asked, "Do you want me to come back for lunch?"

Alyssa did not answer his question directly but asked. "Are you coming back?"

"Depends on the situation."

"Oh."

"I'll hang up if there's nothing else."

"Okay."

However, Alyssa waited for a long time but did not see Emmett hang up.

Alyssa asked him, "Didn't you say you wanted to hang up?"

Emmett only replied coldly, "You hang up first."

Alyssa had no choice but to hang up first. She always felt that there was something strange about Emmett today.
