Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 206

Emily looked at Franklin in shock, unable to believe that it was he whohad said that.

Franklin asked coldly again, "Why did you leave?"

Emily couldn't help but say sarcastically, "If I didn't leave, I woulddefinitely be arrested as a suspect. Your mother was desperate to replace away to punish me. With such a good excuse, she would have killed me.Fortunately, I left and then lived a stable life for four years. Otherwise, Iwould have been framed and arrested by you guys just like I am now."She was furious. She thought Franklin would help her explain. He clearlyknew the truth, and even if it was not for the sake of the truth, heshould have protected her from being wronged for the sake of the factthat they used to be husband and wife.

But she didn't expect that he wouldn't help her, and it would be himwho made it happen.

So Emily couldn't hold back her anger and she said sarcastic words tohim.

When Franklin heard her words, his facial expression did not change atall. After a while, he asked, "Why didn't you come back in the past fouryears?"

"Franklin, are you nuts? You will catch me as soon as I come back. I willbe a fool if I come back. I'm a fool now. I even asked to see you. Ithought you would prove my innocence, but I didn't expect that itwould be you who made me go to jail. Get out of here. Get out of herenow. Get lost. I don't want to see you anymore."

"Who's the man in the hospital?" Franklin seemed unaffected by herand continued to ask the questions.

Emily said angrily, "He's my man. I'm married, okay?"

"Well, it seems that you committed another crime, bigamy." Franklinsaid coldly.

Then he stood up and left quickly.

Emily gritted her teeth in anger. She had imagined the scenes ofmeeting Franklin. Maybe they would cry and sigh, or maybe they wouldtreat each other like strangers and turn away from each other aftersaying hello, ending their half a lifetime romance.

But she never thought it would be like this. Franklin actually did this toher and put her in prison.

"When can I go out?" Emily couldn't help but ask when the femalepolice officer sent her back.

The officer said, "I'm sorry. I don't know. You can wait for your lawyerand then ask him!"

Emily bit her lips. She didn't have a lawyer, and she didn't know if Joycecould help her. Half a day had passed, and Joyce didn't mention visitingher in the prison.

But Joyce was really trying to replace a way to help her. She pulled all theconnections and found a lawyer through her classmates.

But when the lawyer heard about whose case it was, he immediatelyrefused to get involved.

Joyce was so angry that she stomped her feet and scolded him forbeing immoral.

Fortunately, she and Sebastian carried Bryce to the hospital and foundJames’ ward.

After hearing what happened to Emily, James was also shocked.

"How did she provoke him? I know him. Did they have any grudgesbefore?"

"Well..." Joyce was embarrassed and didn't know how to explain it.

She didn't know whether James knew about Emily's past. If he didn't,she may cause trouble when she told him about the relationshipbetween Emily and Franklin.

So she didn't tell him all the story. She said with a smile, "There's nogrudges between them. It's just... It's just a little accident. Now is notthe time to worry about this. We should think about how to get Emilyout. I'm going to contact some people here. If you have anyconnections in Lancaster, you should use them. After all, Franklin is notan ordinary person. I'm afraid ordinary people can't deal with him."

"I see. I'll leave the hospital immediately,” James said.

Sebastian said, "Can you leave the hospital if you are not in goodhealth? You should just make some phone calls first!"

Joyce nodded approvingly.

She looked at James. He was quite good-looking. He was wearingglasses and seemed to be a well-mannered and educated man. In fact,she had a good impression of James. Unlike Franklin, James was folksy.When talking with Franklin, Joyce would be so nervous.

“I'm fine. I'm just not used to the environment here. After being put onan intravenous drip, I feel better. The doctor just asked me to stay inthe hospital for observation. I can leave the hospital. There are somethings that I should deal with in person.” James said.

Seeing that he insisted on leaving, Joyce and Sebastian didn't sayanything more. After all, Emily was his wife, and it was reasonable forhim to help her.

Joyce's connections were useless, so James asked her to quit pullingstrings. He just asked her to help him keep an eye on his son, Bryce, sothat he could replace a way to help Emily wholeheartedly.

Of course, Joyce agreed. Bryce was Emily's son, and she shouldshoulder the responsibility of taking care of him.

She brought Bryce back to her home. Her daughter was just one yearold, and she could play with Bryce.

Although Bryce was a boy, he was very careful. He had fun playing withJoyce's daughter, and the two kids soon got along with each other.Sebastian made milk for the two kids. Looking at Bryce's happy smile,he couldn't help but say to Joyce, "Joyce, did you replace that Bryce lookslike Franklin? His name is Bryce. Do you think Emily still can't forgetFranklin?"

"Don't talk nonsense. He is James' son. If James hears this, he will beangry. Don't mention Franklin. If it weren't for him, Emily wouldn't havebeen arrested. I've already found out. The case four years ago wasalready closed. Franklin must have played a part in all of this.""Franklin is really weird. If he cares about Emily, why didn't he replace herin the past four years? If he doesn't care about her, then he shouldn'tcling to the past because four years have passed and everyone has anew life. Can't he be graceful? Can't they forget about each other andthe enmity between them?" Sebastian shook his head.

Joyce snorted and said, "Who knows? It is said that a day together ashusband and wife means endless devotion for the rest of their life. Butfor Franklin, it was endless hate."

In a weak condition, James found a friend he knew in Lancaster. Heworked in the government and was somewhat related to James’ family.Hearing what James said, George immediately said that he would checkit out. An hour later, when the results came out, George lookedembarrassed and said, "James, it's not that I don't want to help you. It'sreally... Very troublesome. How did your wife offend Franklin? Haven'tyou been in Dover all the time? Aren't you here for the first time inLancaster?”

James frowned and said, "Emily was from Lancaster. Maybe she hadsome grudges with Franklin. Well, you can arrange for me to meetEmily first. I'll replace out what's going on and then figure out how to solvethe problem."

George nodded, "That's right. I can't replace out the details right now. All Iknow is that it's Franklin who is behind all this. He is indifferent and notinterested in anything. I didn't expect him to deal with this matter inperson. You'd better ask your wife about the details first!”

James nodded and asked George to arrange for him to meet withEmily.

After all, George had been in Lancaster for many years and hadconnections. Although Franklin had ordered that no one could visitEmily in the prison, George still managed to get James in.
