Hello, Mr. Brent -
Chapter 208
"I really didn't expect it to be you. What's your relationship with Emily?"Harry asked curiously.
"Emily and I..." James smiled and said, "Yes, Emily. We are husband andwife. I came to Lancaster University to give a speech this time, I did notexpect to get sick from climate-unaccustomed. Emily knew about it andbrought the child to see me. I always knew she was hiding fromsomeone before, but I never thought it would be Franklin in Lancaster.Now she is caught in prison, I am very anxious. I also found someone toenquire about it, and it turns out that Mr. Brent should take theinitiative to withdraw the case, and then there will be a turnaround.”"You have married Emily?" Harry was even more surprised.
James nodded and said, "And we have a child. Now that the child is atEmily's friend's house, he misses his mother very much."
Harry was shocked. He never expected Emily to leave for four years andcame back married, and she even had a child.
Thinking of Franklin...
He sighed and said, "Do you know what's the relationship betweenFranklin and Emily?"
James nodded and said, "I heard some from Emily and asked myfriends. They used to be husband and wife. But now that Emily ismarried and that Mr. Brent has a fiancee, I think this relationship shouldend.”
"Hmm, do you know why didn't Franklin marry his fiancée for a longtime? Because he hasn't divorced Emily yet, and the marriagerelationship between them still exists. In other words, if Emily marriesyou now, then she is committing bigamy.” Harry said.
"What? Has he never dealt with this?" James asked in shock.
Harry nodded.
James frowned and was worried for a moment.
He wasn't afraid that Franklin would sue them for bigamy, but it hadbeen four years since then. If Franklin wanted to dissolve the marriagewith Emily, it would be as easy as turning his hand over.
But he didn't do it. What did that mean? It meant that there werefeelings or interests hidden behind.
The second possibility was almost non-existent. George had told himthat Emily's background was not good. Back then, the Brent Familydidn't think highly of her either. Franklin had to get rid of all difficultiesto admit her identity recognized by Brent Family.
"Since he has feelings for Emily, why hasn't he looked for her in the pastfour years?" James asked.
It wouldn't be difficult if Franklin really wanted to replace someone, not tomention that Emily was not far from Lancaster in the past four years.She didn't hide from him all the time, so it was easy for him to replace her."I'm not clear about that either. I heard from my friend that you want tomeet Franklin. I can arrange this, but I can't do more about it. He'salways stubborn about Emily." Harry smiled bitterly.
James nodded and said quickly, "I'm already very grateful to you forthese things, Mr. Carter. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even be able tosee him."
"There's an event in the afternoon. I'll take you there. I'll give you achance to talk alone.” Harry looked at his watch and said to James.James nodded and left with him.
The so-called activities were just a few friends playing golf together.Franklin rarely participated in such activities. Especially in the past fouryears, he seldom participated in such recreational activities. But hebecame keen on TV and magazines that he appeared in entertainmentreports almost every month.
It puzzled his old friends. They were businessmen, not starlets.Increasing exposure did not do them any good. There was also thepossibility of exposing their whereabouts and encountering anyaccidental injuries.
But they could say nothing about Franklin, and he had an excellentappearance. Standing in the middle of the stars, he was not inferior tothem at all, so everyone was just appreciating it.
As soon as Franklin arrived, everyone put down their clubs and greetedhim.
After those people exchanged pleasantries with Franklin, Harry tookJames to Franklin and introduced him, "Franklin, let me introduce youto someone. This is Professor James, and this is Mr. Brent."
James looked at Franklin and couldn't help but taste bitterly in hisheart. Although he had seen him more than once on TV and inmagazines, he didn't expect the real person to look even morehandsome, especially his temperament, which could attract other men."Such a man used to be Emily's husband. No wonder Emily was not veryinterested in me.” James thought.
But now was not the time to be jealous. James immediately reached outhis hand and said, "Mr. Brent, hello, this is James."
Franklin nodded slightly and reached out to shake his hand.
In fact, he didn't understand why Harry introduced such a professor tohim, and he didn't want to develop his business into the educationindustry.
Harry looked at him in surprise and immediately understood that hedidn’t know James' identity yet!
However, he felt very strange. Mr. Brent had known that Emily was inLancaster and sent her to prison, so it was easy for him to know Emily'scondition over the past few years. James was easier to be investigatedunless Mr. Brent didn't look into Emily at all.
"James, have a good talk with Franklin! After that, let's go playtogether.” Harry couldn't figure out Franklin's thoughts and had to saysomething to James.
James nodded.
When Harry was far away from those people, he said to Franklin, “Mr.Brent, let's have a talk!"
Franklin frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Is there anything weneed to talk about?"
James suddenly realized that Franklin had no idea who he was.
James could only smile awkwardly and say, "I know I'm a stranger toMr. Brent. In fact, to me, Mr. Brent is just a legendary person. But wehappen to know the same person, so it's a kind of fate.”
"Is the same person you're talking about Harry?" Franklin said faintly.James smiled and said, "Surely not. It's Emily. Oh, Emily."
Franklin, "..."
His face became gloomy at once and asked coldly, "What's yourrelationship with Emily?"
James pursed his lips and said awkwardly, "I'm Emily's husband. My wifeis now in prison because of what happened four years ago. I hope youcan..."
“Mr. Brent, Mr. Brent.”
Before James could finish his sentence, Franklin turned around and left.James chased after him anxiously.
Franklin took out his phone and called someone. Soon, two men inblack stopped James.
James said anxiously, "Mr. Brent, listen to me. I don't care whathappened between you and Emily, it happened four years ago. Couldyou be kind enough to sit down and talk about it? If it's really our fault,we will apologize to you."
"What's going on? Let him go first." Harry's group saw somethingstrange here and rushed over to scold the bodyguards.
