CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 399

Emmett raised his eyebrows and looked at her. "What did you say?"

There was a hint of threat in his indifferent voice.

Alyssa's expression turned slightly stiff. She pursed her lips and lowered her head, continuing to flip through the information at the back.

In this information, what was recorded was her and Emmett's past in detail.

But she had no memories of what had happened before. Now, when she looked at these things, it was as if she was looking at someone else's matter. She didn't feel anything at all.

As she read, she couldn't help but secretly pay attention to Emmett.

It was just a bowl of beef noodles, but Emmett ate like it was a banquet. The way he ate looked very pleasing to the eye. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Other than those strange tempers, Emmett also had his advantages.

Alyssa found it hard to imagine that so many things had happened between her and Emmett.

Alyssa suddenly thought of Skylar.

Skylar had mentioned a name before: Dylan Backer.

Alyssa thought of Skylar's words and figured out the things related to Dylan should have happened

three years ago.

So, she directly flipped through the information below.

Then, Alyssa saw the incident regarding the small island explosion three years ago.

But there was very little information about this incident. There was only a brief description.

According to the information, Dylan had planted a bomb on the island and wanted to kill her and Emmett. As for why Dylan had planted a bomb on the island and why she and Emmett had gone to the island, there was no information about it.

Alyssa did not check the information according to the order, so she had not figured out Dylan's identity yet. She asked Emmett, "What is Dylan Backer's relationship with you?"

Emmett had already finished his noodles and was slowly wiping his hands with a towel.

Without turning his head, he said quietly, "He is my aunt's son."

"Does that mean Dylan is your cousin?" Alyssa thought for a moment and asked, "Did he die in that accident?"

Emmett seemed to think that her question was too stupid and he did not even bother to reply.

Actually what Alyssa wanted to ask was, what did Dylan's death have to do with Skylar?

Alyssa thought about it and asked in another way, "Are your cousin and my half-sister in a romantic relationship?”

Emmett did not say anything and just walked to her side. He took out two documents and handed them to her.

The documents recorded Dylan's life and the reason why he was with Skylar.

However, out of careful consideration, Frank removed the part of Dylan's background.

Looking at it like this, Alyssa somewhat understood why Skylar hated her so much.

However, it could not be the only reason. Perhaps Skylar's hatred for her had accumulated over a long period of time.

Alyssa looked at the thickness of the information and asked Emmett, "Have you finished reading all of this information?"

"Yes." Emmett replied with a flash of understanding in his eyes. He knew what she was up to.

After he finished speaking, he put his hand on the document and looked at Alyssa with a smile that was not a smile.

Alyssa asked him this question because she wanted to take the information and read them carefully.

But it was very obvious that Emmett was telling her with actual actions that he would not let her take away the information.

Even if he was willing to let her read the information, he would not give it to her so easily.

Alyssa looked at him with a serious expression and said in a gentle tone, "Since you have finished reading, can I take it?"

Emmett said something completely irrelevant at this time, "What are we going to eat for lunch tomorrow?"

Alyssa was slightly stunned and quickly reacted. "What do you want to eat?"

She could not help but be a little surprised in her heart. Emmett actually used such a small thing to threaten her.

She had only cooked two dishes at night. Did he really have a grudge against her?

He was really a man who would not take any losses.

This also made Alyssa realize that not only did Emmett look cold and unreasonable, but he was also a person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.

Alyssa felt that her answer should be enough to satisfy Emmett.

But she did not expect Emmett to take an inch and ask her, "What about the day after tomorrow?"

Alyssa took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and said, "As long as I am here for a day, I will try my best to cook whatever you want to eat."

Emmett's face revealed a satisfied expression. He let go of his hand that was pressed on the document, raised his eyelids and said, "Take them."

Now Alyssa deeply realized that she was not a match for Emmett.

Since she had surrendered and paid her price, she did not stand on ceremony and directly carried away the large pile of documents.

When she went out, she did not forget to close the door.

After Alyssa left, Emmett took out an encrypted information bag from under the document on the other side.

This encrypted information was also sent by Frank. However, it was not put together with the information, which highlighted the importance and uniqueness of this information.

The seal had not been torn open yet.

Emmett stared at the information bag for a moment, then slowly opened it.

Inside, there were a few pieces of dated papers that looked very old.

The more Emmett read, the colder his indifferent expression became.

What did Kathleen tell him at the time?

Their mother passed away in an accident, their father was disabled in an accident, and their grandfather became silly in an accident?

Ha!

Emmett suddenly clenched his fists and swept everything in front of him onto the ground. Countless shadows flashed through his mind, as if something was about to come out of his chest.

A dull pain instantly rushed into his limbs and bones. His head felt like it was splitting.

Emmett staggered two steps and fell to the ground with a sway.

His mind was buzzing. Countless people's voices and images flashed through his mind.

"Will he really forget everything in the past?"

"Don't worry."

"Doctor Li, as long as you can do it, the reward is not a problem."

"I am not short of money."

The scene quickly changed.

"It's useless. I buried explosives under the entire golf course. Let's go find Rosalie together."

"Take good care of Angela. Don't bother about me."

"…”

Emmett felt as if something had been stuffed into his head. It was so full that it felt like it was going to explode.

He tried to stand up with his hand on the table, but the strong discomfort in his body made him feel weak.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open. A slim figure hurried in. "Emmett! What happened to you?"

Alyssa had just thought about the plates in Emmett's study room that had been confiscated. She did not know how long she would have to stay with Emmett in the future, so she prepared to come and collect them for him.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw that the room was in a mess. Even Emmett fell to the ground with sweat all over his face.

Alyssa reached out her hand to help Emmett up, but he was tall and strong. Alyssa could not help him at all. She simply knelt on the ground and helped Emmett's head up. "Emmett?"

Emmett's hair was already wet with sweat. He narrowed his eyes and grabbed Alyssa's hand. "Who are you?"

Alyssa hurriedly said, "I am Alyssa. What is wrong with you?"
