The customers who passed by couldn't help but cast curious gazes at Emmett and Alyssa, mixed with
a trace of envy.
One was beautiful and the other was handsome, they were inevitable to make people jealous.
Alyssa and Emmett didn't care about the looks of others at all.
One person picked the dishes, and the other pushed the shopping cart.
However, this harmonious atmosphere was broken by a voice.
"Alyssa?"
There was a trace of surprise in the familiar yet unfamiliar man's voice.
Alyssa turned her head and looked over when she heard the voice. She saw the same familiar face of
a man.
After Alyssa saw the man's face clearly, she unconsciously raised her voice. "Dylan?"
"I haven’t seen you for a long time. It’s my fortune that you still remember me." Dylan walked towards
her. His tone was as gentle as always.
Alyssa had overheard the conversation between Emmett and Frank. So, she did not look good when
she saw Dylan.
Her impression of Dylan was already bad enough. Now, because of the child, she did not have any
good impression of Dylan at all.
Alyssa just sneered. Before she could say anything, Emmett, who was pushing the shopping cart
behind her, had already stepped forward to block her, keeping her out of Dylan's line of sight.
"You're here too? What a coincidence. Buying groceries?" Dylan's smile deepened when he saw
Emmett.
Emmett did not say a word. He pulled Alyssa and was about to leave. However, a sudden voice
interrupted their actions.
"Dylan, so you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time."
Alyssa, who was about to leave, could not help but stop when she heard this voice.
She turned around and saw Skylar leaning against Dylan.
As if she felt her gaze, Skylar also looked towards her.
When Skylar saw Alyssa, her eyes widened. "Alyssa? Aren’t you dead?"
Alyssa hooked her lips and said, "Oh, I have disappointed you."
What a coincidence. They met Dylan and Skylar the moment they came back.
Dylan pretended to be angry and glared at Skylar. "What are you talking about? The media loves to talk
nonsense. It's not like you don't know."
"That's right. This small matter is nothing to begin with. It's not a strange thing to fake your death and
escape from a crime. Back then when I was in prison, didn't you get me out as well?" Skylar smiled
sweetly.
Alyssa clenched her hands and took a deep breath to calm herself down a bit.
At this time, Emmett, who had not made a sound all the time, said quietly, "Dylan Backer, take care of
your woman."
Skylar quickly hid behind Dylan and said in a sweet voice, "Dylan, I am so scared."
Emmett sneered and his face was filled with a gloomy aura. "Do you know how much money you have
to pay to kill someone now? A million for a human life. Isn't that cheap?"
Skylar was stunned when she heard Emmett's words. Fear flashed in her eyes. She hid behind Dylan
and did not dare to speak anymore.
She still remembered how Emmett had dealt with her back then.
She knew how perverted Emmett was. If he said that, he might really buy someone to knock her to
death.
What Emmett did to her had rooted itself in her heart, making her feel scared when she thought about
it.
Seeing Skylar so scared, Emmett only sneered and pulled Alyssa away.
On the way back, the two of them were very silent.
Alyssa was thinking about the conversation between Emmett and Frank.
If her daughter was really taken away by Dylan, Dylan was still hooking up with Skylar and Skylar hated
her so much. . .
Alyssa's face immediately turned pale.
On the other hand, Emmett had been paying attention to Alyssa by the side. He immediately noticed
Alyssa's abnormality.
Emmett stopped the car by the road and turned to look at her, "What's wrong with you? Your
expression is so ugly."
"Tell me, did Dylan take the child away?" Alyssa turned around and grabbed his clothes as if she was
holding onto her last hope.
Emmett's expression froze. It turned out that she had heard the conversation between him and Frank.
He held Alyssa's hand and said with certainty, "It's not Dylan."
Alyssa shook her head and said, "Don't lie to me anymore. I want to hear the truth. What else can I not
accept now?"
At first, she thought Emmett took the child away.
After returning to Holston City, she found that things were not that simple. She heard him mention
Dylan.
She had already prepared for the worst. She couldn't bear to be deceived by him again.
"I didn't lie to you." Emmett explained seriously to her. "Frank only found out that the money that was
transferred overseas was under Dylan's account, but it does not mean that it was done by him. He
does not have the ability."
It was impossible for Dylan to steal his child in the operating theater without anyone knowing.
Alyssa nodded.
She believed Emmett's words.
Moreover, no matter how capable Dylan was, he would not be able to defeat Emmett.
She completely believed this.
"Who is that?" Alyssa quietly asked him, "Then who exactly stole my child?"
Emmett could not answer this question.
It had been a month and there was not a single trace.
However, the information her gathered had targeted Dylan.
Dylan was also considered half a member of the Lawrence family.
If the clues pointed at Dylan, it meant that they were pointing at the Lawrence family.
In this half a year, in order to thoroughly investigate his mother's matter, he had made a big move.
While he was investigating, there were people who were obstructing him in the dark.
If this matter was also done by the Lawrence family, then it must have had something to do with his
mother back then.
It was still unclear whether they were warning him or threatening him.
Alyssa was not a fool. She quickly thought of the same thing as him.
Alyssa looked at Emmett's silent face and said after a long while, "Is it related to the Lawrence family?"
The matter of Emmett's mother back then was related to the Lawrence family. Half a year ago, the old
master fell down the stairs. It was as well related to the Lawrence family. She was framed as the
person who pushed Old Master Lawrence down the stairs. It was also related to the Lawrence family.
Alyssa asked in disbelief, "What are they trying to do?"
"No matter what they want to do, I will not let them succeed. I will get our child back." Emmett looked
down at her with a determined expression.
Alyssa let go of his clothes. "That is not your problem. It is also my child."
When the two of them returned to the apartment, Alyssa did not have the mood to cook. In the end, the
two of them still got someone to deliver food from Golden Fountain Club.
But they did not eat much.
It was already afternoon after dinner.
Alyssa did not bring much luggage. She simply tidied up and called Emmett in.
Emmett's expression darkened when he saw her tidying up her suitcase. "What do you want to do?"
