Hello, Mr. Brent -
Chapter 231
With a bang, the kitchen door opened, and Abigail came out, lookingpale.
Hunter looked at her in shock and said in surprise, "Abigail, why are youat home?"
"If 1 wasn't at home, I wouldn't know it was all your dirty trick. You usedme, and you never really loved me." Abigail said despairingly.
Hunter soon realized the truth. Emily did that on purpose. She wantedto make him think that Abigail was not at home so that he would saythose words frankly.
"Abigail, listen to me. It's not what you think." Hunter immediately kneltin front of Abigail and apologized to her.
When Abigail heard what he said outside the kitchen that he just tookwhat he needed from her in the first place, her heart suddenly broke.She pushed Hunter away with tears and strode forward with her handsover her face.
Emily had already opened the door to let her two bodyguards in, incase that Hunter would do anything to hurt them out of anger.
"Mom, let's go!" Emily said to Abigail.
Abigail nodded.
Hunter was anxious and came forward, intending to stop Abigail.However, one of Emily's bodyguards had already stopped him, givinghim no chance to get close.
"Abigail, please listen to me. Let me explain!" Hunter shouteddesperately.
Emily snorted and helped her mother into the elevator.
After getting into the car, she took out a tissue and said to her mother,"Don't cry. It's not worth it for that scumbag.”
"Emily, why do I have such a hard life? Why are the men I meet worsethan the last?" Abigail choked.
Emily sighed. She could tell that her unknown biological father was nota nice man when her mother tried so hard to leave him. Then cameAnthony, he was also a scum. So was Hunter. They could be a gatheringof the scumbags.
However, it was her mother's life that was full of scumbags.
"Don't be sad. You still have me," Emily said.
Abigail wiped her tears and looked at Emily, "I haven't even got thechance to ask you. Why are you back? Where do you live now? Who areyou with?"
In fact, Abigail already had a guess. She could tell from the bodyguardsand the car.
Sure enough, Emily told her about her current situation, but not thepart of her being a lover. Abigail sighed when she heard Emily said thatshe and Franklin had been together again.
"I remember he just announced that he was going to marry hischildhood sweetheart next month. Now that he's with you, and Ihaven't heard about his annulment. What's his plan?" Abigail asked.Emily pursed her lips. She herself could not figure out what Franklin wasthinking. Making her the bridesmaid? He must have lost his mind!
She didn't dare to ask him. When Franklin wanted to be good to you,he treated you like a princess, but once he fell out with you... Just thinkabout James. How dare Emily provoke him?
"I know this well, don't worry about it. I'll replace you a hotel to stay in first,then we'll replace a house. But I have to get back the money you used tobuy the house. I can't let that scumbag live so happily.” Emily gruntedcoldly.
Abigail nodded and felt disgusted at the thought that Hunter had takenher money to buy the house for another woman.
However, Abigail was not sure if she could get the money back.
"I gave the card to Hunter. What if he doesn't admit it?" Abigail saidworriedly.
Emily frowned. She had encountered many such things when she wasstill a saleslady. In fact, it was very difficult to obtain evidence. Even ifthere was a transfer record between the two, if one of them denied thatit was a loan, it would be challenging for the other party to prove thatthe money was not borrowed, but jointly funded to buy a house.
Not to mention that her mother didn't go at all when she bought thehouse but leaving it all to Hunter. In this case, it was almost impossibleto get back half of the house that belonged to her mother, and it wouldbe lucky to get back the money that she paid for the house.
But Emily didn't say that to her mother, lest she was sad again.
She found a hotel for her mother to stay in and then spent half a daywith her before returning home.
On the way, Emily called Joyce to ask about her condition and thenspoke to Bryce. After that, she began to call her former classmates. Oneof them was a lawyer. Could they help her with this?
"Emily, you've done sales yourself. You should know, it's hard to collectevidence in such a situation. I can't guarantee that you can get thehouse back." Her friend said with concern.
Emily replied, "I know, that's why I come to you for help. I am notinterested in the house. I just want my money back.”
"Well, I'll try! But I can’t guarantee that. It should be fine, but if theother party repudiates, there's nothing else to do." The friend added.Emily also thought of this and could only let her friend give it a try.When she got home, Emily also asked the butler to help her replace a lawbook and read it herself. She wondered if she could replace a loophole anddiscuss it with her friend.
After taking a shower, she took the book and lay on the bed to read it.Because she was so engrossed in it, she didn't even know that Franklinwas back.
Franklin changed his clothes and took a shower. Seeing that she waslying on the bed looking at the book seriously, he also lay down besideher to take a look.
It was only when there was a shadow on the book that Emily realizedthat someone was around.
She couldn't help but shrink in fear and cover her face with the book.Franklin smiled and pulled the book away from her face, and he said,"It's not like I haven't seen you before. What bother covering yourface?"
Emily was awkward, "When did you come back?"
"I've been back for a while. I've already taken a shower. You're tooobsessed with it."
Emily blushed and quickly put down the book. Since Franklin was back,they should go down to eat.
"Wait a minute. Why are you reading this?" Franklin asked.
Emily snorted and answered, "Don't pretend that you know nothing.There are two bodyguards around me, and they must tell youeverything about me every day."
"They will report to me, but I usually listen to you first before askingthem," Franklin said.
Emily was speechless.
She gritted her teeth and glared at him. Why bother asking her whenhe already knew everything from those bodyguards? It made hernervous to think if she had told him all the things and worried that hewould misunderstand her if she hadn't.
"I don't mean to pry. I just want to have a chat with you. But I hope thatthere is nothing that you couldn't tell me, and you could share whatyou think with me.” Franklin hugged her from behind and rubbed herearlobe.
Emily bit her lips, and her heart thumped.
"Why are you acting so intimately when you just want to chat?" Shethought.
She broke free from his arms and told him what happened today.
Then she said, "That's all. I want to help my mother sue Hunter and seeif I can at least get the money back."
