Chapter 140

Because the shameless man grabbed her hand as soon as he got into the car and touched her face.

Frank and Justin were still sitting in front of her. Where could she put her face?

When she waved her hand away for the first time, the shameless man let out a deep laugh. "You are so
good today. I just want to touch you."

Alyssa looked at him with a fake smile, "Am I a cat? Because I am obedient, you want to touch me?"

"Of course not." Emmett pinched her hand lightly and said, "It’s not enough to touch you once."

Alyssa's mouth twitched and she turned to look at the two people sitting in front of her.

She found that both Frank and Justin sitting upright and looking straight ahead.

But their shoulders were shaking. They were laughing!

Alyssa was so angry that she kicked Emmett.

It did not hurt very much.

But Emmett also knew that he could not make her angry.

When the car stopped at the entrance of the villa, Alyssa was the first to jump out of the car. It was as if
there was a ghost chasing after her. She walked into the villa as fast as she could.



Justin followed closely behind.

But soon, a voice that sounded like a death sentence to him came from behind her. "Justin, wait for me
in the study room."

Justin stopped and looked back at Emmett with a fawning smile. "Cousin, I won't fight next time. I know
I was wrong."

"Yes." Emmett did not say anything, but he also did not say Justin could not go to the study room.

So Justin went to the study room in the end.

He stayed in the office for a while before Emmett came in.

"Tell me, why did you fight?" Emmett walked directly to Justin and sat down. His tone was very calm.

Emmett usually looked very cold, but those who were familiar with him could easily feel the change in
his mood.

"I just had an argument with my classmates. They started a fight." After Justin finished, he said
seriously, "Cousin, I really know I was wrong. I won't fight with my classmates anymore."

He made a promise and admitted his mistake. But it didn't made Emmett to stop asking. "I asked you
why you fought."

Emmett looked at Justin. His dark eyes were so calm that no emotions could be seen, but there was a
hint of understanding in them.



Justin felt that he could not hide anything from Emmett when he looked into his eyes.
Becouse the shomeless mon grobbed her hond os soon os he got into the cor ond touched her foce.

Fronk ond Justin were still sitting in front of her. Where could she put her foce?

When she woved her hond owoy for the first time, the shomeless mon let out o deep lough. "You ore so
good todoy. I just wont to touch you."

Alysso looked ot him with o foke smile, "Am I o cot? Becouse I om obedient, you wont to touch me?"

"Of course not." Emmett pinched her hond lightly ond soid, "It’s not enough to touch you once."

Alysso's mouth twitched ond she turned to look ot the two people sitting in front of her.

She found thot both Fronk ond Justin sitting upright ond looking stroight oheod.

But their shoulders were shoking. They were loughing!

Alysso wos so ongry thot she kicked Emmett.

It did not hurt very much.

But Emmett olso knew thot he could not moke her ongry.

When the cor stopped ot the entronce of the villo, Alysso wos the first to jump out of the cor. It wos os if
there wos o ghost chosing ofter her. She wolked into the villo os fost os she could.



Justin followed closely behind.

But soon, o voice thot sounded like o deoth sentence to him come from behind her. "Justin, woit for me
in the study room."

Justin stopped ond looked bock ot Emmett with o fowning smile. "Cousin, I won't fight next time. I know
I wos wrong."

"Yes." Emmett did not soy onything, but he olso did not soy Justin could not go to the study room.

So Justin went to the study room in the end.

He stoyed in the office for o while before Emmett come in.

"Tell me, why did you fight?" Emmett wolked directly to Justin ond sot down. His tone wos very colm.

Emmett usuolly looked very cold, but those who were fomilior with him could eosily feel the chonge in
his mood.

"I just hod on orgument with my clossmotes. They storted o fight." After Justin finished, he soid
seriously, "Cousin, I reolly know I wos wrong. I won't fight with my clossmotes onymore."

He mode o promise ond odmitted his mistoke. But it didn't mode Emmett to stop osking. "I osked you
why you fought."

Emmett looked ot Justin. His dork eyes were so colm thot no emotions could be seen, but there wos o



hint of understonding in them.

Justin felt thot he could not hide onything from Emmett when he looked into his eyes.

However, he knew it the best. If Emmett heard those words, he would definitely be sad.

Justin stopped talking, and Emmett did not bother him.

Justin had lived with Emmett for a long time when he was young. He had been very good at causing
trouble since then, and Emmett was always the one to clean up his mess.

However, he never took the initiative to admit his mistake.

Today, not only did he admit his mistakes, but even Alyssa did not mention it.

Alyssa that woman was a little stubborn. In her opinion, things like children fighting should be very
serious. But she did not mention this matter to him at all.

The first call she made to him was probably to inform him that Justin was fighting at school.

But after that, she did not mention a word.

This was very strange.

"You're not going to say?" Emmett waited for a while and saw that he still did not speak, so he spoke
unhurriedly. "Then I'll call your school teacher and ask him."



Justin looked up. "No!"

If Emmett called his school teacher to ask, his form teacher would definitely tell him.

Justin gritted his teeth and said, "They said Aunt was killed."

His voice was so low that he could barely hear the two words in the middle.

He was still young, but he knew a lot about the ways of the world.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the room fell into a suffocating silence.

Justin clenched his fists. He did not dare to speak, nor did he dare to look at Emmett's expression.

After a while, he heard Emmett's slightly hoarse voice, "You can leave."

"Cousin." Only then did Justin raise his head to look at Emmett's expression.

However, Emmett had already stood up. His back was facing Justin as he walked towards the study
table.

Justin looked at him with worry and turned around to leave.

Alyssa just happened to change her clothes and came out of the room, ready to go downstairs.

When she passed by Emmett's study room, she saw Justin come out from inside.



Alyssa quickly walked up. "Your cousin is looking for you?"

Justin nodded. He hesitated and said, "I told him.”

Alyssa was stunned. After a few seconds, she said, "Then he is. ... "

Justin shook his head.

Alyssa looked at the tightly shut door of the study room. She hesitated for a moment before she
knocked on the door and asked, "Emmett, what do you want to eat tonight?"

However, he knew it the best. If Emmett heord those words, he would definitely be sod.

Justin stopped tolking, ond Emmett did not bother him.

Justin hod lived with Emmett for o long time when he wos young. He hod been very good ot cousing
trouble since then, ond Emmett wos olwoys the one to cleon up his mess.

However, he never took the initiotive to odmit his mistoke.

Todoy, not only did he odmit his mistokes, but even Alysso did not mention it.

Alysso thot womon wos o little stubborn. In her opinion, things like children fighting should be very
serious. But she did not mention this motter to him ot oll.

The first coll she mode to him wos probobly to inform him thot Justin wos fighting ot school.



But ofter thot, she did not mention o word.

This wos very stronge.

"You're not going to soy?" Emmett woited for o while ond sow thot he still did not speok, so he spoke
unhurriedly. "Then I'll coll your school teocher ond osk him."

Justin looked up. "No!"

If Emmett colled his school teocher to osk, his form teocher would definitely tell him.

Justin gritted his teeth ond soid, "They soid Aunt wos killed."

His voice wos so low thot he could borely heor the two words in the middle.

He wos still young, but he knew o lot obout the woys of the world.

As soon os the words left his mouth, the room fell into o suffocoting silence.

Justin clenched his fists. He did not dore to speok, nor did he dore to look ot Emmett's expression.

After o while, he heord Emmett's slightly hoorse voice, "You con leove."

"Cousin." Only then did Justin roise his heod to look ot Emmett's expression.

However, Emmett hod olreody stood up. His bock wos focing Justin os he wolked towords the study
toble.



Justin looked ot him with worry ond turned oround to leove.

Alysso just hoppened to chonge her clothes ond come out of the room, reody to go downstoirs.

When she possed by Emmett's study room, she sow Justin come out from inside.

Alysso quickly wolked up. "Your cousin is looking for you?"

Justin nodded. He hesitoted ond soid, "I told him.”

Alysso wos stunned. After o few seconds, she soid, "Then he is. ... "

Justin shook his heod.

Alysso looked ot the tightly shut door of the study room. She hesitoted for o moment before she
knocked on the door ond osked, "Emmett, whot do you wont to eot tonight?"

The person inside did not onswer her question.

Justin soid worriedly, "My mom soid thot ofter ount's occident, cousin shut himself in the room for o
long time ond did not see onyone."

At this time, Alysso wos thinking obout something else.

Emmett's reoction wos unusuol. In other words, whot Theo soid wos true?



Although she didn't know whot hoppened, she hod heord of Emmett's mother.

His mother wos from o scholorly fomily. She wos beoutiful ond tolented, ond she could not compore to
the countless top sociolites in Herton City.

In the end, she morried into the Lowrence fomily.

A womon who lived like o legend, wos she reolly… humilioted to deoth in the end?

Alysso's throot wos o little dry. She osked with difficulty, "Whot hoppened ofter thot?"

"Loter?" Justin scrotched his heod ond soid, "My mom soid it wos becouse of me. I wos just born, ond
my cousin didn't core obout others, but he liked to ploy with me. When I wos young, I spent more time
with my cousin thon with my porents."

Alysso did not think thot there wos such o thing.

However, from Justin ond Emmett's interoctions, she could feel thot the two of them were very close.

Emmett wos such o thoughtful person. When he lied to her, he soid thot he wos "Justin.” It wos enough
to show thot Justin wos o very importont person to him.

Alysso looked ot the closed book door ogoin. She did not knock on the door onymore. Insteod, she
turned oround ond went downstoirs to the kitchen.

Emmett's toste wos o little heovy, so Alysso speciolly mode o few solty ond spicy dishes.



After she wos done, she went upstoirs to knock on the book door. "It's time to eot."

After woiting for o long time, no one onswered her.

Just when Justin thought Emmett would not speok ogoin, Emmett's hoorse ond cold voice sounded
from inside. "Don't bother me."

Alysso wos slightly stortled.

Whether it wos the indifferent "Justin" ot the beginning or the loter Emmett, he hod never spoken to her
in such o tone.

Emmett wos just in o bod mood ond she did not mind.

Alysso continued to osk with o good temper, "Then I will bring you food?"

The person inside did not answer her question.

Justin said worriedly, "My mom said that after aunt's accident, cousin shut himself in the room for a
long time and did not see anyone."

At this time, Alyssa was thinking about something else.

Emmett's reaction was unusual. In other words, what Theo said was true?



Although she didn't know what happened, she had heard of Emmett's mother.

His mother was from a scholarly family. She was beautiful and talented, and she could not compare to
the countless top socialites in Herton City.

In the end, she married into the Lawrence family.

A woman who lived like a legend, was she really… humiliated to death in the end?

Alyssa's throat was a little dry. She asked with difficulty, "What happened after that?"

"Later?" Justin scratched his head and said, "My mom said it was because of me. I was just born, and
my cousin didn't care about others, but he liked to play with me. When I was young, I spent more time
with my cousin than with my parents."

Alyssa did not think that there was such a thing.

However, from Justin and Emmett's interactions, she could feel that the two of them were very close.

Emmett was such a thoughtful person. When he lied to her, he said that he was "Justin.” It was enough
to show that Justin was a very important person to him.

Alyssa looked at the closed book door again. She did not knock on the door anymore. Instead, she
turned around and went downstairs to the kitchen.

Emmett's taste was a little heavy, so Alyssa specially made a few salty and spicy dishes.



After she was done, she went upstairs to knock on the book door. "It's time to eat."

After waiting for a long time, no one answered her.

Just when Justin thought Emmett would not speak again, Emmett's hoarse and cold voice sounded
from inside. "Don't bother me."

Alyssa was slightly startled.

Whether it was the indifferent "Justin" at the beginning or the later Emmett, he had never spoken to her
in such a tone.

Emmett was just in a bad mood and she did not mind.

Alyssa continued to ask with a good temper, "Then I will bring you food?"
