CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 87

Alyssa's voice fell and the carriage fell into a strange silence.

She looked at Frank who was driving in front and then turned to look at “Justin”. Seeing that he was lost in thought, she reached out and patted him. "You still haven't told me what your cousin likes to eat."

Emmett came back to his senses and looked at her deeply. After a few seconds, he said, "He is not picky about food. He eats everything."

He was telling the truth. Alyssa's cooking was very good. He had been eating her cooking for so long and every dish tasted good.

Alyssa felt that he said it as if he did not say anything. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

After that, "Justin" was very quiet and did not speak again.

She did not know what he was thinking about.

The first thing she did when she got home was to find Emmett.

She ran to the door of the study and knocked on it. No one opened the door for a long time.

When she went downstairs, she met “Justin”. She asked him curiously, "Didn't you say Emmett was at home? I just knocked on the door of the book. No one answered."

Emmett turned his head slightly to look away, avoiding Alyssa's eyes. "Maybe he went back to his room to rest. Cousin's health is not very good and it is easy to get tired."

After you lied once, you needed to use countless lies to make up for it.

He had lied to Alyssa before because he thought she was interesting and teased her. He didn’t do it on purpose.

In the open, in the dark, he had heard her defend Emmett.

Emmett was born in a big family with a hundred years of history. He had heard a lot of things. He could tell at a glance whether Alyssa's words were true or fake.

It was because he could tell Alyssa was telling the truth that his feelings were so complicated that even he could not figure it out.

"Oh." Alyssa nodded and went downstairs.

Emmett watched her go into the kitchen and called Xavier. "Come out for a drink!”

"I have something to do." Xavier wanted to refuse, but Emmett hung up the phone before he could say anything.

…

In Golden Fountain.

Xavier reluctantly shook his wine glass and walked up to Emmett. "Tell me, what's bothering you so

much that you want to drink with me in broad daylight?"

Emmett did not say anything. He just quietly took a sip of the wine.

Xavier saw him like this and realized that the matter might be a little serious. He stopped smiling and said seriously, "You have to tell me what's going on, don't you?"

Emmett finally turned his head and looked at him.

However, after looking at Xavier for a few seconds, he looked away and said lightly, "You don't understand even if I tell you."

Then why are you looking for me to drink? Xavier was confused.

…

When Alyssa was cooking, the bodyguard told her that Emmett and “Justin” went out together.

She had to eat alone.

Just as she picked up her chopsticks, her phone rang.

She took it out and saw that it was Aurora calling.

She stretched out a finger and tapped on the screen. In the end, she swiped at the green answer button.

Alyssa turned on the speaker and her tone was very light. "Hello?"

There was an ear-piercing noise on the other end of the phone and then there was a woman's sharp cry for help, "Alyssa, save me."

Alyssa looked at the phone number again and confirmed that it was Aurora's.

Aurora on the other end screamed and there was a sobbing tone in her voice, "Alyssa, it was my fault in the past. No matter what, I am your mother. You must save me."

Before Alyssa could speak, the phone was taken away. This time, it was a man who answered the phone.

"You are this woman's daughter? Listen carefully, prepare 50 million for us. Otherwise... "The man's voice suddenly turned sinister: "We'll kill her!"

Alyssa was shocked at first, but then she said coldly," I do not have money. If you want money, go to the Moore Group to find Jason!"

Aurora was kidnapped?

50 million was not a small amount!

If the kidnapper was targeting Aurora, he should be calling Jason right now. Why would he call her?

"Humph, you are Young Madame Lawrence. Do you not have money? It is a joke! I will give you two hours to prepare the money. I will contact you two hours later. You are not allowed to call the police.

Otherwise, we will kill the hostage!"

The man hung up the phone.

Before he hung up, Alyssa heard Aurora's scream on the other end of the phone.

Alyssa's hand that was holding the phone suddenly tightened and her expression also changed slightly.

No matter how much Aurora went overboard, she was her biological mother after all. She could not just watch Aurora get into trouble and not care.

Alyssa took out her phone and called Jason as she walked outside.

No one answered the phone.

Alyssa was anxious. She ran down the mountain and took a taxi to the Moore family.

After Alyssa returned to her original appearance, she did not return to the Moore family. So when she stood at the door of the Moore family, she was stopped by the maid who was guarding the door.

The maid asked her, "Who are you looking for, young lady?"

Alyssa coldly looked at her, "I am Alyssa."

"Third Lady?" The maid's face was full of disbelief, but when she looked carefully, she could indeed see that the woman in front of her looked somewhat similar to Aurora

The maid did not dare to stop her again.

Alyssa asked her as she walked inside, "Where are my father and Skylar?”

"Sir and Second Lady are having dinner." The maid then asked, "Third Lady, have you eaten?"

When Alyssa heard this, she did not care what the maid said. Her heart was burning with anger.

Even if other people lost a dog, they would still look for it. Moreover, Aurora was kidnapped now!

Alyssa was familiar with the Moore family villa and went straight to the restaurant.

"Dad, this prawn is not bad today. Try it."

"It tastes better than usual."

When she went in, Skylar and Jason were happily eating.

Skylar was the first to see Alyssa. She looked at her in surprise. "Usually when Mom invites you home for dinner, you don't even come back. Today Mom is not at home, but you came back by yourself?"

Alyssa walked over with big strides. She reached out and picked up the bowl in front of Skylar and smashed it on the ground. "My mom was kidnapped. You still have the mood to eat!"

Skylar’s eyes widened and the surprise on her face grew, "What, mom was kidnapped?"

"Did the kidnappers not call you?" Alyssa squinted her eyes and looked at Skylar.

"Mom said that she invited a friend to do cosmetic surgery together and told us not to wait for her to eat. How could she be kidnapped?" Skylar also showed a look of distrust.

"Someone called me and said that he kidnapped my mom and asked me to prepare 50 million in two hours. Otherwise, they would kill her!" Alyssa sounded nervous.

When Skylar heard her words, her first reaction was not to worry about Aurora. Instead, she frowned and said," 50 million? That much! The company has been short of funds recently. How can it take out so much money all of a sudden?"

Alyssa's face turned cold. “If you can't take it out, then think of a way! My mom has been in Moore family for so many years, isn't it worth you guys raising 50 million to save her?"
