Hello, Mr. Brent -
Chapter 232
Franklin said faintly, "This is not a difficult case. Not only can you getthe money back, but you can also get the house back.”
"How is that possible? I've analyzed it. It's nice enough to get themoney back. How could it possible to get the house back?" Emily saidas soon as she heard it. She completely disbelieved Franklin's words.Franklin said, "Trust me. But it depends on the lawyer.”
"I've already contacted my friend, and she is somewhat famous in thebar. It's not difficult for her to file a lawsuit like this,” Emily said.Franklin said, "Let me introduce one to you! You'll see the lawyertomorrow. If you don't think that person is reliable, you should call yourfriend over to look at this person for you.”
Emily really didn't want Franklin to pull some strings for her. It was hermother's business. She wanted to solve it herself.
But if no one helped her, it would be difficult to win the case againstHunter. If she lost, that asshole would not receive the punishment hedeserved. So after thinking about it, she still agreed to Franklin'sproposal.
"Let's go down and eat!" Franklin pinched her earlobe.
Emily was so angry that she gritted her teeth behind him, but there wasnothing she could do. She could only follow him downstairs angrily andeat at the table.
Franklin's food was even lighter. In the past, there were many strongdishes, but now they were light healthy dishes.
Emily snorted as she ate, poking at the rice in the bowl, "Are you old?You're eating so light. I can't stand it."
"Do you still like food with stronger flavors?” Franklin asked faintly.
In fact, Emily had changed her diets a long time ago. She used to likespicy food very much. But ever since she became pregnant, her tastehad become much lighter. She had to feed the baby and didn't dare toeat food with stronger flavors. Slowly, she got into the habit of forminga light taste.
But she didn't want Franklin to get what he wanted, so she said angrily,"Of course, I love spicy food. You know me.”
"Remember, make a few spicy dishes next time." Franklin immediatelyturned to the servant who was waiting on him.
The servant immediately nodded and noted it down.
Emily curled her lips and felt very bored. She thought Franklin wouldtell her off. She didn't expect him to agree to her request so easily. Itwas obviously that he was spoiling her.
She knew there would be spicy dishes in her next meal.
So she chewed the food in her mouth and felt even more tasteless.After dinner, Emily went upstairs to study her book again.
Franklin went to the study to deal with business, and when he cameback, Emily fell asleep. The book was still in her hand, but she hadalready fallen asleep on her stomach.
Franklin smiled, took the book out of her hand, and gently dragged herbody to straighten her. He pulled the quilt over her and put his armaround her to sleep.
The next day, as expected, Franklin was at home and asked her to callher friend to meet him at the hotel.
Emily's female friend was married and average-looking. But she studiedvery well back then. She changed her major when in college. Shestudied law as a postgraduate student, and now she was a famouslawyer.
However, when she saw the lawyer Franklin hired, her legs immediatelysoftened. She quickly helped Emily and whispered to her, "You alreadyknow such a powerful lawyer. Why are you looking for me?"
"Is he famous?" Emily looked at the short and fat middle-aged man infront of her and asked in surprise.
Her friend's eyes lit up, and she said, "Of course, Bob Smith is famous.Mr. Smith is my idol, and he is the great dipper of the legal profession.”After that, she ran over like a fan and asked Mr. Smith to sign for her.Emily was speechless.
The corners of her mouth twitched speechlessly. She didn't expect heralways cool female friend to show her shy fan side. It was soembarrassing
But when she heard her female friend say that, she didn't dare tounderestimate Mr. Smith.
After she told her mother's situation to Mr. Smith, he said with a smileon his face, "Don't worry! This kind of case is simple and can be solvedvery well. Tell Mrs. Wintour to be patient and the house will be returnedto her.”
"Easy to solve? Impossible! My mother doesn't have much evidence toprove that she was also involved in buying a house. The name on theproperty deed is not in my mother's name either, how can she get thehouse back?" Emily asked doubtfully.
Her friend quickly tugged at her and whispered, “If Mr. Smith says it'seasy, it will be definitely easy to be settled. Just wait! Mr. Smith hasnever lost a case.”
When Emily heard that even her friend said that, she had to believe it.She thanked Mr. Smith and Franklin treated them to dinner. Her friendkept asking her about her relationship with Franklin and whether theywere in a relationship.
Very few people knew about Emily's previous marriage, and she didn'ttell her female friend.
She could only laugh at her friend's question, not knowing how toanswer it.
In the past, she could tell her friend that they were husband and wife.But what did she say now. Lover? She was embarrassed.
But this friend of hers was smart. The point was that the news ofFranklin and Avery's marriage had spread all over Lancaster. SeeingEmily's embarrassing smile, her friend immediately understood. Thefriend smiled and stopped asking.
But this meal was still very good. After dinner, they sent Mr. Smith awayand her friend left.
The hearing was in three days and the court summons had been sent toHunter.
Hunter was still working in the hospital and was not affected byanything. Emily still felt strange in her heart. She thought that accordingto Franklin's previous intention, he must have made Hunter's familycollapsed and lose his job before he would stop.
But Franklin didn't, and Emily was too embarrassed to ask. It seemedthat she was so stingy that she had to do something to Hunter.
In fact, she really wanted to teach Hunter a lesson. That scumbag wastoo much.
“I'm free this afternoon. Let's go out for a walk!" Franklin said.
Emily was shocked, "Shopping? What are you shopping for?""Shopping, of course. I think you've been interested in shoppingrecently. You've only been shopping with me once before. Lancaster haschanged a lot in the past few years, and there are a lot of new shoppingmalls. You can go shopping and see if you like anything.”
Emily was embarrassed. She did buy a lot these days. And many ofthem were easy to sell again, in preparation for a later run.Unexpectedly, Franklin noticed and wanted to go shopping with her.
If they shopped together, she naturally dared not buy any more ofthose eye-catching things, so she hastily refused, "No, I want to go backand rest."
