Chapter 178

Alyssa and Emmett ate breakfast with the old man and planned to leave.

Before they left, Winston called out to Alyssa, "You stay. I have something to say."

After spending the day together, Alyssa felt that Winston was actually a good person to get along with.
He might have a strange temper, but it was not a problem.

Therefore, when she heard that Winston wanted to talk to her, she did not hesitate and immediately
followed him.

Unexpectedly, she was stopped by Emmett not long after she took two steps.

Seeing Winston's expression change, Alyssa quickly gave Emmett a look and said to him with her lips,
"Quickly let go."

Winston sighed in disappointment. "I just wanted to say a few words to her. Can I eat her?"

"Oh." Emmett nodded and let go of Alyssa.

Winston glared at him, as if he wanted to run over and beat him up.

Alyssa quickly walked over and helped Winston into the room.

After entering, Winston's irritable expression changed and his expression became calm.

"I know you weren't willing to marry Emmett back then." The moment he opened his mouth, the words



he said caused Alyssa to be unusually shocked.

She didn't answer immediately. She waited for Winston to continue.

"You are a smart child. Naturally, you can see that Emmett is interested in you. Since you are married
to him, you can be Young Madame of the Lawrence family peacefully. Our Lawrence family will not
treat our own people unfairly."

Although Winston was making his stand clear, at the same time, he was threatening Alyssa.

If she was disloyal to Emmett, Winston would not let her go without Emmett's help.

It could be seen that Winston really loved Emmett.

It was no wonder that even if Emmett hated the Lawrence family so much, he was still willing to come
back when he found out that Winston had called him to return to the Lawrence family.

Alyssa did not dislike Winston's threat. Instead, she smiled and said, "Grandpa, people are mutual.
Between Emmett and me, we are the same as you and Emmett."

Winston was good to Emmett, so Emmett naturally listened to him.

Emmett was good to her, so she naturally did not have any other thoughts.

When Winston heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed out loud. "Little girl is
quite good at scaring people. Alright, quickly go. Don't let that brat wait too long, or he will be anxious
with me later."



"Then I will leave first. I will come to see you again."

Alyssa went out and did not see Emmett's figure.

When she reached the door, she saw Emmett and Eliza standing together and talking.

One had to admit that the Lawrence family's genes were really good. Eliza's appearance was delicate,
and Emmett was the best among men. When the two of them stood together, it was very pleasing to
the eye.

Alyssa was planning to go over after the two of them finished talking, but Emmett seemed to have eyes
on the back of his head. He suddenly turned his head and looked in her direction.

Alyssa could only walk over.

Eliza also followed Emmett's line of sight and looked over. When she saw Alyssa, she slightly frowned
and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, "She..."

Emmett did not have any intention of introducing Alyssa to Eliza. He directly hugged her shoulder and
was about to walk out, "Let's go."

Eliza subconsciously called out to him, "Third brother."

Among the younger generation of Lawrence family, Dylan was the oldest, followed by Emmett's twin
sister. According to the ranking, Emmett was ranked third.



Those younger than Emmett called him third brother.

Emmett left without looking back. On the other hand, Alyssa looked back at Eliza with a smile that was
not a smile.

Eliza remembered what she said to Alyssa and blushed.

When she was young, she played very well with Emmett. Later, when Emmett's mother got into trouble,
he left the old residence and the two of them became distant. Later on, she heard that Emmett's face
was disfigured and there was a problem with his body, so she never contacted Emmett again.

Even when she went to the television station as the host, she did not reveal that she was a member of
the Lawrence family. She was afraid that others would find out and ask her about Emmett. She felt
embarrassed.

A few days ago, after Emmett's true appearance was exposed, her mind became active. She wanted to
find time to meet Emmett.

After all, Emmett was the only legitimate successor of the Lawrences. In the future, the Lawrence
family would be under his control. All the brothers and sisters of the branch would be basking in his
glory.

Before she could take action, she heard that Emmett had brought his newly married wife back to the
old residence, so she specially came back to see him.

But she didn't expect that the woman she thought was brought back by a cousin was actually Emmett's
newly married wife!



She did not know if that woman would say bad things about her in front of Emmett.

Eliza felt that she had to find an opportunity to look for Emmett again and strive to develop a good
relationship with him.

…

In the car, Alyssa sat in the back and leaned against the back of the chair. Her eyes were empty as she
stared at the top of the car.

Emmett reached out and touched her head. "Are you tired?"

"A little."

Actually, it was not just a little bit. She felt quite tired.

Although Emmett told her not to feel burdened and let her be herself, how could she not feel burdened?

No matter how much Emmett disliked the Lawrence family, it was impossible for him to break away
from them. Although she lived with Emmett, she still wanted to perform well in the Lawrence family and
not give him any trouble.

She was careful and considerate, afraid of making mistakes. She had to be careful when Winston
asked her questions.



Emmett pulled her into his arms, and a deep voice sounded above her head. "We won't be going back
to the old residence if there's nothing else in the future."

"You're not going back to see grandpa? I think he really wants you to go back and see him." Alyssa
leaned against her chest and said in a muffled voice.

Emmett sounded cold. "Even if I don't go back to see him, he still eats and sleeps."

Alyssa straightened her body and found that Emmett's expression had indeed changed.

"What's wrong?" Wasn't he fine before?

Emmett didn't say anything. He just tilted his head and kissed her.

Alyssa pushed him and Frank was still driving in front.

However, Emmett did not care. He held her head and kissed her.

Frank sat upright and looked straight ahead.

Who could understand the feelings of an unmarried young man?

After the kiss, both of them were somewhat out of breath.

Emmett hugged her and did not speak, but he was somewhat lost in thought.

In the morning, he went to look for Grandfather in advance to ask about the details of his mother's case



back then.

What did Grandfather say at that time?

"This matter has already passed. People have to look forward. If your mother has a spirit in the
heavens, she would hope that you can live a good life and look forward."

Winston's words meant that he did not want to investigate his mother's past.

Why did Winston not let him investigate this matter?

Was he afraid that he would find out something terrible?

However, he insisted on investigating.
