CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 142

After the whole day, Alyssa did not see Jason in the company.

Alyssa asked a colleague who had a good relationship with her, “Didn’t the chairman come to the company today?”

Her colleague looked around and mysteriously said, “I heard that the chairman has gone abroad.”

Hearing this, Alyssa’s expression darkened slightly. At this critical moment, why did Jason suddenly go abroad?

Suddenly, she recalled what she had said to Jason earlier.

Could it be that Jason went abroad to invite Old Master Moore back?

What she had said to Jason earlier could be considered resolute.

Although Jason's business methods were not good, when it came to benefits, he was still very clear about it.

Alyssa was somewhat lost in thought of Emmett's mother's matter.

That kidnapping case was ultimately defined as malicious kidnapping and extortion, but in the end, because it angered the kidnappers, it resulted in the kidnappers killing people.

However, Emmett's mother was not killed simply. She was humiliated to death by those people.

If they only wanted money, and if the Lawrence family really wanted to save Emmett's mother, they would not let things develop to that stage.

Then, there were two possibilities for this matter.

Firstly, those people might have wanted to kill Emmett's mother from the very beginning.

Secondly, there were people in Lawrence family who didn't want to save Emmett's mother. They wanted her to die!

The kidnapping case had been a hot topic in the past. The newspaper said that it took them a few days to find Emmett and his mother. However, if the kidnappers only wanted money, they should have contacted them on their own accord. It was unlikely that they would only find Emmett and his mother after a few days.

All the details and the results of the investigation could not be judged at all.

If she could think of a problem, others could think of it, and Emmett could think of it even more.

Most of the time, when people encountered things that did not concern them, even if they had doubts and puzzles, they would forget it just by thinking about it. After all, it was something that had nothing to do with them.

However, Emmett was different. That was his biological mother. In front of him, she was insulted by a group of men.

All these years, he must have lived in hatred and self-blame.

That was why he had such a gloomy aura.

That was why he would not appear in front of others.

That was why Emmett had acted so ruthlessly when she was kidnapped by those two men. 

He had always wanted to force Old Master Moore to return to the country. Could it be that Old Master Moore had something to do with the kidnapping back then?

Alyssa was so shocked that the documents in her hands fell to the ground. Only then did she come back to her senses.

She seemed to know what Emmett wanted to do.

…

At noon, Alyssa called Emmett and asked him to have lunch with her.

Emmett actually pushed her away for the first time.

On the other hand, Justin sent her a WeChat message, "Alyssa, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

"I haven't eaten yet. What about you?"

Justin sent her an "obedient" emoji. "What a coincidence. I didn't eat either."

Alyssa could not help but laugh. Of course, she understood what this little ghost meant.

"I will go to a restaurant to order. When you get in the car, you can eat it. I will send you the address later."

Not long after Alyssa ordered the dishes, Justin came.

He smiled and sat down. He picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. He frowned and said, "It's not as good as Alyssa's cooking."

Alyssa glared at him, "Stop flattering."

The two of them went out of the restaurant after eating. Justin's phone suddenly rang.

He stopped and looked at the name on the phone. He was slightly stunned. "Theo?"

"The guy you beat up yesterday?" Alyssa looked at the name and had some impression of it.

Justin nodded. "Yes, I just don't know why he suddenly called me."

As soon as he picked up, Theo's hysterical voice came from the other end of the phone. "Justin! Did

you find someone to kill my father?"

"Theo, are you crazy? I didn't hit your head yesterday. Why is your brain broken?" Justin didn't sound too good when he heard Theo's tone.

"I want you to pay my father with your life!" After Theo said that, he hung up the phone with a bang.

Alyssa also heard Theo's words. "He said you killed his father?"

"Isn't he crazy? What enmity do I have with his father to kill him?" Justin did not take this matter seriously at all.

However, before the two of them had walked far, two men walked towards them.

The two men were tall and strong, and they had serious looks on their faces.

Based on her intuition, Alyssa felt that these two men could be policemen.

She quietly stood in front of Justin.

Sure enough, the descendants of the two people approached and took out their police ID. "Hello, we are from the Criminal Police Unit. We suspect that Justin has something to do with a criminal case. Please cooperate with the investigation."

Their eyes had been locked on Justin.

Alyssa heard him and turned to look at Justin.

Justin's expression changed slightly. His face was full of surprise.

Alyssa shook his hand. "He is a minor. Calling a minor requires a guardian accompanying him, right?"

One of the policemen said, "It is like this."

…

Alyssa accompanied Justin to the police station.

On the way, she called Emmett and told him about it.

When they arrived at the police station, Alyssa saw Frank and Xavier at the entrance of the police station.

When Xavier saw them come down, he walked over lazily. "Joyce, long time no see. You are becoming more and more manly."

Joyce was the policeman who spoke earlier. Maybe it was because he had been dealing with criminals for a long time, but he looked a little fierce and a little murderous.

When he saw Xavier, he smiled. "Xavier, what are you doing here?"

It turned out that Xavier and Joyce knew each other.

Xavier stepped forward. He put his hand on Joyce's shoulders and lifted his chin to point in Justin's direction. "That child is a distant relative of mine."

Joyce sneered. "Are you a distant relative of the Lawrence family?"

Sure enough, police could not be fooled by the people.

"You've already thoroughly investigated his background so quickly. Only you are so bold. You clearly know that he's a member of the Lawrence family, yet you still dare to touch him."

Joyce smiled. "Even if he is the father of the heavens, as long as he really committed a crime, I will still arrest him."

"Yes, it is so." Xavier gave Alyssa a reassuring look. Then he continued to say to Xavier, "Just think of me as the child's guardian. I will go and accompany him later."

"Joyce."

"Okay."

In the interrogation room, Joyce stared at Justin with a serious expression.

"Theo is your classmate?"

"Yes."

"His father was killed at six o'clock this morning. He didn't have any enemies when he was alive, and you and Theo had a grudge. We suspect that you bought the murderer and killed him."

Justin thought about the phone call he had picked up earlier and asked. "Theo's father?"
