Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 223

"James, James." Emily struggled and shouted when she was pushed outof the door by James.

But no matter how she shouted, James didn't open the door.

Emily had no choice but to call Joy. Though Joy came here, it wasuseless. So Emily had to go home first and ask Joy to tell her aboutwhat had happened in James’ family.

Emily couldn't figure out why James suddenly became like this. Histemperament changed so much that he chased her out for no reason."Hey, Joy, what's going on with James?" Emily saw that it was Joycalling and asked without waiting for her to speak.

Joy choked and said, "Emily, the situation is not good. It seems that theother party not only wants compensation but also wants cousin's familyto go to jail."

"What? How could this be?" Emily said in surprise.

Joy said, "I don't know. My parents found someone they know andhoped to make coordination. But the other party is very determinedand there is no possibility of reconciliation. Now I doubt whether thewhole thing is set up by the other party for my aunt's family. Otherwise,how could it be so coincidental?"

"Did the James family offend someone before?" Emily asked.

Joy shook her head in silence and said, "No, auntie and her family areall scientists. Although they have a strange temperament, theyshouldn't offend people and make someone want to do this to them.However, I heard that cousin James had a girlfriend before, butsomething happened to her later. I don't know if it has anything to dowith that. We haven't seen each other, but I heard that the girl's familyis very powerful. Could it be that they retaliated against my cousin'sfamily?"

"I don't know. James doesn't answer my phone or meet me." Emilyfrowned.

Joy said, "Sister Emily, don't worry. We'll think of another way. Cousinprobably doesn’t want to involve you. When he calms down, he'll meetyou."

"Well, Joy, I'm sorry to trouble you. Call me if anything happens. At leastlet me know what's going on over there."

Joy agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Emily sighed.

At that time, the doorbell rang and she quickly got up to open thedoor.

Unexpectedly, there was a man in a black suit standing at the door. Helooked like a bodyguard. Because of Franklin, Emily had a psychologicalshadow on these people. Subconsciously, she trembled and wanted toclose the door.

However, the man pushed the door with one hand and saidexpressionlessly, "Are you Miss Johnson? Hello, our boss wants to seeyou."

"Who's your boss? I don’t know him." Emily said immediately.

The man said, "It's about the matter of Mr. James’ family. Our bossdidn't reconcile with Mr. An the last time he met him. He felt that hestill had to talk to Mr. James’ family and solve the problem. Our bossdidn't want things to get out of hand.”

"Is your boss that businessman?" Emily said in surprise.

The man in black nodded.

Emily immediately said, "Wait for me a while. I'll get ready and leavewith you right away.”

After that, she closed the door, went back to her room, changed herclothes, and went out with a little makeup.

She was worried about how to help James solve the problem, but shedidn't expect that the other party was so good and actually sentsomeone to replace her.

She didn't know how James talked to that person that day, and whatgrudges he had with that person, making things come to such anunmanageable situation. However, when she met that man today, sheshould have a good talk with the other party to see whether she couldsolve this matter peacefully.

She got into the car of the other party, and they drove her there.

It was still that hotel, and still room 802.

The man took her to the door and said, "Miss Johnson, please!"

Emily nodded and did not doubt him. She pushed the door open andwent in.

In fact, if she had been more careful, she would have found out that theother party knew her surname was Johnson. After all, her surname inDover was not Johnson, but this person called her Miss Johnson. Theremust be something wrong.

But Emily was too nervous to think of this at all.

After entering, she found that it was a suite, which was luxuriouslydecorated

But there was no one in the living room. Instead, the sound of water inthe bedroom made her frown.

"Is anyone there?" Emily stood in the living room and shouted.

After a while, a voice came from the bedroom and soon a man cameout.

Emily was dumbfounded and stared blankly at the person who cameout.

The man smiled, walked over, threw the towel on her head, and said,"We haven't met for just a few days and you actually can't recognize menow. I thought I have already impressed you after that week when wespent together.”

"Franklin, why are you?" Emily pulled the towel off her head and askedangrily.

Franklin said faintly, "Why can't it be me? Do you think anyone canhave such a rare shareholder?"

"So... This is exactly what you set up, right? You deliberately set this upto deceive James’ father. You knew he liked antiques, so you seducedhim with that vase. Sure enough, he was fooled. After he took the vasehome that day, you sent someone over to destroy it and break it, andthen blackmail him. Franklin, I didn't expect you to do such a thing.”Emily suddenly understood that this was indeed a pitfall.

"I just didn't expect that James would be so kind to you that he waswilling to bear everything on his own and didn't want you to knowabout it," Franklin said faintly.

Emily gritted her teeth and rushed to Franklin and asked, "Franklin,what do you want to do? Aren't you going to marry Avery? Why won'tyou let me go?”

Franklin looked at her and did not speak. After a while, he beckoned ather and said, "Now you have two choices. One is to follow me back toLancaster and stay by my side. The other is to watch the James familygo to jail and lose all their fortune because of you."

"Franklin, you bastard.” Emily raised her hand in anger and was to hitFranklin in the face.

But Franklin grabbed her wrist and threw it aside, "If you slap me, I canput another accusation on the The Andersons.”

Emily trembled and gritted her teeth as she looked at him with redeyes.

Franklin said faintly, "Emily, you started some things, but you can't endthem."

"Okay, I'll go back to Lancaster with you. You let the James family goand drop the charges against them." Emily's heart instantly fell and shebit her lip with tears in her eyes.

Franklin curled his lips and said slowly, "I missed you so much after notseeing you for a few days. You know what to do.”

Emily gritted her teeth. What was she to him now?

With tears in her eyes, she walked slowly over to Franklin, unbuttoningher clothes as she walked.
