Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 229

Emily gritted her teeth. She didn't expect Hunter to be so shameless.Not only did he have an affair with another woman behind hermother's back, but he also insulted her mother with such harsh words."Bastard." Emily walked towards Hunter and slapped him in the facewithout hesitation. At the same time, she kicked him hard in the shins."Ah."

The woman next to Hunter screamed in fear, and Hunter trembled withanger.

"How did you dare to hit me? You bitch." Hunter shook off the hand ofhis companion and then raised his hand, trying to slap Emily.

Emily took a step back. Before she was going to dodge, the bodyguardwho didn't take anything rushed over. He blocked Hunter and pushedhim to the ground.

"Miss Johnson, are you okay?" The bodyguard asked Emily withconcern.

Emily shook her head, "I'm okay."

She looked at Hunter angrily. They had worked together before, butshe didn't expect things would turn out like this. Her heart was filledwith sadness and more anger.

"Let's go!" Emily said.

It would be a shame for her to keep tangling with him.

The bodyguard nodded and escorted Emily away.

Shortly after Emily got home, Franklin came back. Looking at her sullenand angry face, he said gently, "Is there anything you want me to do?"Emily was surprised, but soon she realized that he must have heardwhat happened from the bodyguard. No wonder he knew about this.She shook her head and said, "No. You don't have to do anything.”"You know, it's not hard for me to make him lose his job andeverything. I can even guarantee that he will not be able to survive inLancaster,” Franklin said softly.

Emily pursed her lips and sneered. She didn't know whether Franklinreally wanted to help her or he was warning her indirectly. It was easyfor him to deal with Hunter, let alone her and Joyce.

"No need to do that. I want to talk to my mother first and figure outwhat she thinks." Emily refused him again.

Seeing that she really didn't want his help, Franklin stopped talking.However, he walked over and sat down beside her. He stroked her hairas if he were her lover and asked, "Did you have a good time when youwere shopping? What did you buy?"

"Don't you know what I bought? They must have told you!" Emily saidangrily.

Franklin smiled and said, "But I want to hear it from you.”

"There's nothing to say about such a boring thing.” Emily muttered.Franklin sighed lightly and said, "In the past, when we were husbandand wife, I spent too little time with you. At that time, I was always busy,so I could only bring you to the company to work with me and what wemostly talked about was work. At that time, I thought that there wouldalways be a chance to chat because we would spend a lifetimetogether. Then you left for four years. It was only after you left that Irealized I must cherish certain things because they are easy to lose.”Emily, ".."

"Did you... Think of spending the rest of your life with me?" Emily askedin a trembling voice.

Franklin looked at her affectionately and he did not speak, but the lookin his eyes gave the answer.

"What about Avery? You two are childhood sweethearts. Isn't she yourlover? Aren't you waiting for her? ..um."

Before Emily could finish her sentence, Franklin grabbed the back of herhead and kissed her.

Emily looked with her big eyes at Franklin who was so close to her, butFranklin closed his eyes so that she couldn't see anything from his eyes.Feeling the increasing intensity of the kiss, Emily sighed silently andcouldn't help but close her eyes.

In the end, in a daze, she felt Franklin's kiss on her face and ear. Thenhe said softly, "Go to sleep!”

Emily closed her eyes. She stopped thinking and fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was already the next day.

Franklin had already gone to work. When she went downstairs, thehousekeeper came close to her with a smile and prepared breakfast forher.

In fact, she wondered why Franklin insisted on letting her stay here. Thisshould be his permanent address. Shouldn't Avery live here? He letEmily live at home. What about his wife? Did she live outside?

But she didn't ask the question. Even if she asked, he wouldn't answer.After breakfast, she asked the housekeeper to arrange a car for her andsend her to her mother's place.

Abigail had already moved, but Emily didn't ask about her new address.She just asked the driver to send her over.

There were still two bodyguards around her. Emily knew that thesepeople would definitely replace out her mother's address, so she didn'thave to ask.

As expected, the driver sent her to her mother's place.

The bodyguards followed her and said, "Mrs. Wintour is on the eighthfloor."

Emily nodded and took the elevator to the eighth floor. Then, under theguidance of the bodyguards, she rang the doorbell of Abigail's home.It was Abigail who opened the door. Hunter had already gone to work.Emily came here at this time on purpose.

"Emily?" Abigail opened the door and looked at her in surprise.

Emily smiled and hugged her, "Mom, I'm back."

Abigail was stunned and remained in a daze after Emily left her arms.But when she came to her senses, she quickly invited Emily in.

The two bodyguards were still guarding at the door. Although theywere on the eighth floor, they figured that Emily could not run away.Abigail looked at the bodyguards and frowned doubtfully, but sheclosed the door without asking anything.

"Emily, you're really back. Hunter told me yesterday, but I didn't believeit. I didn't expect it to be true.” Abigail said with both surprise and joy.
