And who was the one who set it up?
What was his purpose?
Was he a member of the Lawrence family?
If he was from the Lawrence family, how did he use Winston to lure Alyssa into the trap?
Why was this happening on the first day of the Lunar New Year?
Alyssa thought about these questions as she walked to Winston's room.
Just the day before yesterday, she had been sitting on the sofa with Winston watching television.
Winston had even asked her and Emmett to be fine.
It had only been a day, but Winston was already lying in the operating room with his life on the verge of
death.
Alyssa felt a little sad.
She turned around and walked out. "Let's go."
Frank still followed her.
She returned to the room, and Frank stood guard outside the door.
When she was about to close the door, she turned to Frank and said, "You've worked hard."
After all, it was the first day of the new year. Emmett even called Frank out.
"Mrs. Lawrence, you are too polite. Mr. Lawrence asked me to work for him because he trusts me."
Frank nodded slightly. He still looked cautious and steady.
Alyssa did not say anything else. She smiled and walked into the room.
…
Alyssa waited until it was dark. She did not see anyone come back.
Alyssa held her phone and wanted to call Emmett to ask about the situation.
Although she thought that what Emmett said to her might not be true, she still did not dare to call.
She did not want to hear Emmett's cold voice.
In the past, when her life in Moore family was at its worst, she did not feel any sadness.
Now, when she heard Emmett's cold voice talking to her, she actually felt sad.
She was really spoiled by Emmett.
…
There was a knock on the door all of a sudden.
Alyssa was delighted. She thought Emmett had come back and quickly got up to open the door.
When the door was opened and Alyssa saw the person clearly, her initial joy had disappeared
completely.
The person standing outside the door was not Emmett but the maid who brought her food.
Alyssa asked the maid, "Is Mr. Lawrence not back yet?"
The maid shook her head stiffly, put down the tray, and turned to leave.
When she opened the door, she noticed that Frank was still guarding the door with a few bodyguards.
She opened the door again and asked Frank, "Did Emmett call you to say anything?"
"No." Frank lowered his head to avoid seeing Alyssa's disappointed face.
In the end, she did not call Emmett.
She was not in the mood to sleep, so she took the blanket and rested on the sofa.
She fell asleep in a daze. She felt someone walking in her room.
Although the person who was walking had tried to lower the sound of footsteps, Alyssa could still hear
it very keenly and woke up very alertly.
She opened her eyes and saw Emmett's tall and straight figure.
At this time, Emmett leaned slightly towards her and raised one of his arms slightly. She did not know
what he was going to do.
Alyssa sat up straight. "You're back."
Emmett stood up straight and looked at her expressionlessly. "Did you eat dinner?"
"Yes." Alyssa nodded obediently and asked him, "How’s Grandfather? He…"
When she said that, she stopped talking.
Emmett's expression turned cold. "The surgery has been completed, but he is not out of danger. He
may wake up within forty-eight hours, or he may never wake up again."
Alyssa suddenly looked up at Emmett and met his cold eyes.
She explained in a panic, "I did not push grandpa."
The room became quiet.
Emmett looked at her and did not say anything. He seemed to be thinking about the truth of her words.
Alyssa had always felt that she was a very strong person.
However, in front of Emmett, she was just a vulnerable girl in front of her beloved man.
His short silence was enough to hurt her.
However, what he said next made Alyssa feel as if she was in an ice cellar.
"The police will investigate this matter."
Even if he did not have any emotions and was still cold, Emmett's voice was still pleasant to hear.
Alyssa clenched her hands tightly and said hoarsely, "Emmett, I don't believe what you said. I will give
you one chance to tell the truth."
She did not believe that Emmett was telling the truth.
She looked up at Emmett with her head held high. She decided to believe her heart and believe in
Emmett.
However, Emmett did not care about her so-called trust.
He curled his lips and sneered. "Alyssa, I am telling the truth. Do you really think you are a good
person? If you are really a kind and good person, you would not have let the reporters to secretly take
pictures in the factories of the Moore Group and almost caused the Moore Group to go bankrupt."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Alyssa as if he was watching her reaction.
Alyssa just pursed her lips and coldly looked at Emmett in front of her.
Emmett seemed to be angered by her calm reaction. He leaned closer to her and said in a cold tone,
"You have used many methods to deal with the people of Moore family, not to mention my grandfather,
an old man of another family. Who knows what you did to him?”
"I am not a wicked woman like Skylar. I will not do that kind of thing to Grandfather just because of
Amelia..."
Alyssa did not finish her sentence when she was interrupted by Emmett. "Shut up. Don't call him
grandpa. You do not have the right."
"Emmett!" Alyssa stood up from the sofa with a swoosh and said loudly, "Did your brain get eaten by a
dog? This clearly shows that someone is trying to frame me. You don't go to find the real murderer but
instead falsely accuse me here?"
Emmett narrowed his eyes and reached out to pinch Alyssa's chin. His eyes emitted a bone-piercing
coldness as he warned, "Alyssa Moore, pay attention to your words. The Lawrences are not like that.
How could our Lawrence family do such a thing?"
Alyssa's chin hurt from his pinch but she did not make a sound. She coldly stared at Emmett and said
while gnashing her teeth, “How is it impossible?! The Lawrences are all evil. You are most wicked of
them all!"
Emmett's expression was frighteningly cold.
Alyssa started to feel a little scared.
But at this time, she could not show weakness. She couldn’t compromise.
"What? You want to hit me? You better kill me and your child, too. If you insist on falsely accusing me of
sending me to prison, I should rather have a miscarriage now. As soon as the verdict is issued, I'll be
able to go straight to prison and make you feel even better."
Alyssa looked at Emmett's constantly changing expression and felt very happy in her heart.
Emmett was so angry that he laughed. "Alyssa, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Of course I know." Alyssa sneered. "Your attitude is very clear now. You are certain that I pushed
grandpa down. If you want to sue me, what else can I do other than surrender?"
If even Emmett did not believe her, and if the Lawrence family wanted to sue her and let her go to jail,
she would not be able to defeat the Lawrence family.
