CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 415

By the time Emmett finally appeared in the office, it was already 40 minutes later.

Kathleen called Emmett along the way, but Emmett did not pick up.

As soon as Emmett entered into the office, Kathleen walked up to him and asked angrily, "Where did you go?"

"I was in a meeting." Emmett walked around her and went straight to the back of the desk.

Kathleen rolled her eyes and asked tentatively, "Did you just go to a meeting?"

Emmett looked at her with an unfathomable expression. "If you have something to say, say it."

Kathleen did not suspect anything. In her opinion, Emmett had always been like this and she was used to his behavior.

She lifted her foot and walked to Emmett's desk. "I haven't seen Angela for a few days and I miss her a little. So, I went to your house to see her today. But now I have something to tell you."

As she spoke, she took out a recording pen from her bag. She placed it in front of Emmett and then pressed the play button.

There was a noise in the recording and then the conversation between the two women could be heard.

"Aren't you following Emmett for his power and money? How much do you want if I ask you to leave him?”

"Even if I am doing it for his power and money, why would I leave him just because you will give me some money? It’s a way better for me to stay with him and be the mother of his child, isn’t it?"

"However, how much do you plan to take to get me to leave Emmett? If the amount is satisfactory, I can consider your request."

Kathleen knew that Emmett could distinguish the voices of these two women.

She turned off the recording and said sternly, "Emmett, you heard it too. This is what Alyssa said. As long as I pay a little money, she can leave you. Is this kind of woman what you want?"

In Kathleen's opinion, a man would feel disgusted when he heard a woman say this kind of thing.

Moreover, Emmett was the president of the Lawrence Group and had the highest decision-making power in the Lawrence Group.

He was such a man. How could he tolerate it when his woman only cared about his wealth and power?

Kathleen had a good plan in her heart, but she had forgotten that Emmett was never the same person as her.

Originally, she thought that after Emmett listened to the recording again, he would definitely hate Alyssa.

However, Emmett only asked one thing: "How much do you plan to pay Alyssa to leave me?"

He could tell that Kathleen did not know that Alyssa had lost her memory as well.

Otherwise, she would not be so stupid to go and ask Alyssa this.

Kathleen's expression changed slightly. "Emmett, what do you mean?"

Emmett's face still did not show any expression, but Kathleen somehow felt that it was very dangerous.

If she did not answer this question well, there might be something more cruel waiting for her.

Emmett slightly hooked his lips, and there was a cold chill between his brows. "I asked you first, you answer my question first."

"I was just trying to trick her. I did not expect her to be so impatient." Kathleen was getting smart now. She did not dare to answer his question directly.

Emmett's voice suddenly became much lower. "You do not like Alyssa. This is the reason why you did not let the rescue team to save her when the island exploded and we were in danger, right?"

"I was just worried about your injuries at that time and you were seriously injured back then. You are my brother, so I naturally have to take care of you first. Besides, didn't Xavier and the others go to save Alyssa at that time? And isn't she okay now? She is absolutely fine when I went to see her today."

Kathleen originally felt a little guilty at the first, but speaking of the end, not only did she not feel guilty, but she also felt that she made a lot of sense.

In her eyes, Alyssa’s life wasn’t worth saving. And other than being Emmett’s wife and the mother of his child, Alyssa did not have any value in the Lawrence family.

And there were plenty of women who want to be Emmett’s wife and the mother of his child, so saving Alyssa was just a waste of time.

At this time, Emmett suddenly laughed, but his smile was as cold as his expression.

"But didn't you say before that I don't have any relationship with Xavier? Since we don't have any relationship, why did he go and save Alyssa?"

"You don’t have but Alyssa and Xavier have a relationship! And she also has a good relationship with that star, Xavier’s girlfriend, doesn’t she?”

Kathleen's heart was anxious but she wanted to make the last struggle by luck.

"Kathleen, do you think I am a fool?" Emmett's words were more of a statement than a question.

Kathleen's face immediately turned pale. "Emmett. . ."

Every excuse and reason she had seemed to be full of flaws.

Emmett’s eyes were filled with impatience. He lowered his head to look at the document in front of him and said casually, "I gave you a chance, but you still didn't tell me the truth. You may go now. . ."

There was not a trace of blame or anger in his tone. It was as if he was talking to a subordinate. No, he would talk to Frank in a much better tone than his current tone.

Kathleen wanted to defend herself, but when she opened her mouth, she felt something blocking her throat. She could not say a word in the end.

She turned around and went out. After closing the office door, she covered her face with her hand.

Her eyes were sore and tears flowed out.

Kathleen comforted herself. She was the proud daughter of the Lawrence family. She was an existence that countless famous people looked up to. Most importantly, she could not cry!

In the president's office.

Emmett's eyes fell on the recording pen on the desk.

Kathleen had left in a hurry and did not take the recording pen away.

Emmett took it and listened to the recording again.

After a while, he sneered and put the recording aside.

Kathleen's visit did not affect Alyssa much.

Kathleen hated her so much but she did not know why Kathleen hated her.

At this time, amnesia seemed to be a good thing for her.

At least, she could forget about her troublesome past and ignore a lot of people.

She went to the kitchen to cook and Angela drove her toy car to the kitchen too.

Angela had become very attached to her recently.

When she heard the noise, Alyssa turned around and saw Angela sitting in her toy car, looking at her, "Ella, Why did you come in?"

Angela sat in the toy car and blinked her eyes, "I want to help Mommy."

"Well, okay."

After Alyssa finished speaking, she took a small stool and placed it in front of the small sink. She took the vegetables and tomatoes and let Angela wash them there.

Angela obediently did the work as Alyssa had said to her.

Angela was watching Alyssa while she was cooking.

She saw what Alyssa put into the pot and muttered what she wanted to eat. She looked very hungry and greedy.

Oh, she was a little foodie.

When Alyssa finished her cooking and was carrying the dishes, she took out Angela's bowl and let Angela carry the bowl to the dining hall.

Angela happily did as she was told. After placing the bowl on the dining table, she even looked at Alyssa with a look of asking for a reward. "I've put it away."

Alyssa picked up a chicken wing and gave it to her, "I'll reward you with a chicken wing."

When Emmett came back, he saw a scene like this. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Angela held her small bowl and ate a chicken wing until her mouth was full of oil. Alyssa was at the side holding her phone and taking photos of Angela at 360 degrees.

Emmett passed the suit jacket to the maid and walked straight over.

Angela caught a glimpse of Emmett out of the corner of her eye and called out vaguely, "Daddy."

"I'm here."

Emmett replied and then turned his head to look at Alyssa.

Alyssa felt Emmett was looking at her in a weird way.
