Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 238

Emily was embarrassed. She never expected that the guest was notAvery, but Mrs. Brent.

Now she understood what the butler and Franklin meant. She wishedshe could run back to the small garden and hide from Mrs. Brent.

Mrs. Brent's eyes were red with anger. She pointed at Emily and said,"You don't even want me to come here just because you want to hide itfrom me? So many years have passed. Why do you still let her be byyour side and don't let her go?"

Franklin's expression darkened and he said coldly, "I said you don'thave to care about my business. Didn't I make it clear last time?"

Mrs. Brent was stunned and of course, she knew what he meant. Shecould not help but blush. She was ashamed and angry but felt evenmore aggrieved.

She couldn't help but redden her eyes and start to sob. As she sobbed,she said, "I've worked so hard to raise you. I've given up so much foryou, and I've sacrificed a lot for you. You treat me like this for a womantoday. Do you have any conscience?"

Emily listened awkwardly. This was the first time she had heard Mrs.Brent say such a thing. After all, in the past, Mrs. Brent, no matter howsad she was, had to show off her demeanor as Brent Family's lady. Thewords she said this time indicated that she was completely helpless.However, Franklin was obviously not a pushover. Hearing her cry likethis, he sighed and said slowly, "You are not the same kind of people.Why do you have to compare yourself to her? You are my mother andthe lady of the Brent Family. Why do you have to humiliate yourself?"Emily,".."

She was furious instantly and stared at him angrily.

What did he mean by saying that Mrs. Brent's comparison to her was ahumiliation to Mrs. Brent. Then. in his eyes, what was she? What did hethink of her again?

Franklin's words really saved Mrs. Brent's dignity in front of Emily. Mrs.Brent looked at Emily's angry red face. As a woman, how could she notunderstand? She immediately curled her lips and stopped being angry.Wiping away her tears, she said to Franklin, "Well, I'm relieved to hearthat. Mother is not unreasonable. Since you insist on doing so, I canonly indulge you. You're my son. But you said you would marry Avery,and now you're entangled with her. Aren't you afraid that Avery will beangry? Although those photos were suppressed by you and didn't leakout, it's hard to guarantee that someone with ulterior motives wouldn'ttake them to Avery and tell her about it."

"You don't have to worry about this. I'll handle it myself," Franklin said.Mrs. Brent sighed and said, "Well, since you have said so, then I'll letyou do what you want! You won't listen to me as you have grown up. Ican't do anything about you. You'd better be aware of what you aredoing. Alas, it's a man’s ability to keep a wife at home while havingmistresses outside.”

After saying that, Mrs. Brent glanced at Emily contemptuously and leftarrogantly.

Emily was trembling with anger. Mrs. Brent was trying to belittle her.And Franklin was even more hateful. If it weren't for him, how could shehave such an identity and how could she be so humiliated that shecouldn't say a word to refute.

In the past, even if she didn't rush up and fight with Mrs. Brent, shewould have quarreled with Mrs. Brent.

"Don't take her words to heart. Don't care about her in the future.”Franklin saw Emily's angry look and thought she was angry with hismother, so he stepped forward and comforted her.

Who knew that as soon as his hands touched Emily's shoulder, Emilyshook them off with a cold snort.

"You don't have to pretend to be a good person. I thought it was MissLewis, but I didn't expect it to be your mother. But your mother wasright. You always keep me by your side like this. Is Miss Lewis reallywilling to allow you to be like this? Or is it because of yourextraordinary ability so that you can keep a wife at home while havingmistresses outside?" Emily said angrily.

Franklin frowned and quickly understood. He chuckled and said, "Didyou cry in the garden before because you thought I didn't let you inbecause Avery came? That's why you were sad and couldn't helpcrying.”

"Who's crying? I'm telling you that it was because the sand got in myeyes. Are you deaf or you just can't understand?" Emily said angrily.Franklin said faintly, “I'm neither deaf nor incomprehensible. You don'thave to care about what I said to my mother. You're obviously angrynow because you care about what she said. Our relationship has beenmade clear for a long time, and now it's not worth it to mess with me.”Emily, ".."

All of a sudden, she lost all her strength. It was really boring. She hadlong known that she had been a lover by his side from the beginning,and now she was saying these words as if she cared about him somuch.

"You're right. I'm not sensible. I'll go upstairs and rest first. Don't call meif there's nothing else.” Emily pursed her lips and went upstairs angrily.But she didn't expect Franklin to follow her into the bedroom.

Emily turned around and saw him following her. She couldn't help butlose her temper and say, "Why are you following me here? Can't I takea rest?"

"Are you quarreling with me again?" Franklin frowned and saidunhappily.

Emily snorted coldly, "You didn't realize it until now. The arc ofreflection is so long. No wonder you have no friend.”

"Who said I don't have friends?" Franklin said angrily to her.

Emily said coldly, "Yes, you have friends. One is about to be your wife,and the other's lover was snatched away by you."

Franklin, "..."

She was just putting salt on the wound and stepping on it wherever ithurt.

"I didn't expect you to know how to step on people's painful area now.Well, very well. Have I been too gentle to you these days, so you forgotyour identity?"

As Franklin spoke, he jumped up, hugged her, and pressed her onto thebed.

Emily was stunned and then struggled hard.

As she struggled, she cried out in anger, "Franklin, let go of me. Don'tbe shameless and use this kind of method at all times. What do youthink 1 am, a tool to vent your desire? I'm telling you I'm in a bad moodtoday. If you dare to do this to me again, I will hurt you."

Franklin pressed her down with a sullen face and blocked her mouth asif he didn't like to hear her say these words.

Emily's mind heated up and she raised her hand, intending to slapFranklin's face.

She didn't care where it would hit. She just gritted her teeth and foughtat full split.

With a loud slap, both of them were stunned.

Emily stopped struggling, and Franklin pressed her down still. He didn'tdo anything and he just stared at her.

Only then did Emily realize that she had hit Franklin. She could not helpbut shrink her fingers and pursed her lips. She tried to apologize, butshe could not say anything.

And Franklin looked at her calmly without doing anything, which madeEmily's heart tremble. She was afraid that he would do something toher too. But just as she was in fear, Franklin suddenly got up and left.
