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. . ." C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"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.

Emmett took the phone to his front. After making sure the phone was hung up, he returned the phone to Frank.

Frank heaved a sigh of relief. At the crucial moment, Alyssa was the only one who could shake Emmett, and keep him awake.

At this moment, Emmett finally had the energy to look at Kathleen.

Kathleen was half lying on the sofa. At this time, she had regained some consciousness, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.

When she saw Emmett walking towards her, fear appeared in her eyes. As she retreated, she muttered, "Don't come over. . . Don't come over. . ."

Emmett walked to the sofa and looked down at her condescendingly. "If you have anything to say, explain it clearly at once."

"I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything." Kathleen was already so scared that her three souls lost their seven souls. She did not have the arrogant look of the big miss of the Lawrence family.

"I lied to you. Marilyn is not Angela's biological mother. . ."

“Xavier is actually your good friend. Frank is your most trusted subordinate. Alyssa is your most beloved woman. . ."

"I was the one who sent you overseas. I found a hypnotist expert and asked him to seal your memories. . . This is all my fault. I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Emmett, forgive me this time. I beg you, I beg you, please. . ."

Kathleen fell off the sofa and sat on the floor in a sorry state. She pulled Emmett's pants and begged him.

She had been pampered since she was young, eating and dressing well. And everything she had was the best.

She had always been surrounded by bodyguards and servants. She had once been glad that she had not been captured by the kidnappers when she was young.

She had a smooth life. Other than her brother, who had never listened to her and did not get along with her.

At that time, she only cared about what she wanted, but she ignored Emmett's nature.

He was really a devil. When he was captured and sent back by the kidnappers, he did not look like a normal child. So she didn't like him since she was young.

However, his abilities were outstanding. She had to rely on him to maintain the glory of the Lawrence family.

However, she had never thought that Emmett would want to kill her.

She had almost. . . died in Emmett's hands.

More than a decade had passed, and the devil in his heart had also grown up with him.

Kathleen knew that she would never be able to control Emmett again.

When Emmett heard what Kathleen said, a storm gathered in his eyes again.

Frank quickly asked Kathleen before Emmett got out of control again, "Which hypnotist expert?"
