Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 252

Emily looked at the ceiling in a daze.

She now knew that Mrs. Brent was the one who set her up and thatFranklin knew everything about it. She was the only one who didn'tknow anything.

She hated Mrs. Brent. She really hated Mrs. Brent.

She had never hated anyone so much. Even if she had been bullied byAnthony and his family in the past, it was because she had occupiedtheir position. They were afraid that she would steal something fromtheir family, which was bad for them, so they treated her badly. Basedon this, she was angry but did not hate them.

But Mrs. Brent was different. She had never done anything wrong toMrs. Brent. Why was Mrs. Brent so cruel to let her suffer the mostunbearable pain that a woman could not endure which made herbecome like this today?

But apart from hating her, Emily didn't know what else to do.Originally, she thought that Franklin didn't know what Mrs. Brent haddone, so she still counted on Franklin, hoping that he could replace out hisconscience and seek justice for her.

But now, it turned out that he already knew. However, mother and sonhad deep feelings for each other, and her, a cannon fodder, could onlybecome a victim.

"Don't be like this. Eat something!" Lisa advised.

The stillness in her eyes was heartbreaking. Even Lisa, who was ruthlessand hardhearted, could not bear it.

"I don't want to eat.” Emily shook her head.

Lisa frowned and said after a moment of silence, "I know you're veryangry now. What Mrs. Brent did before was really unkind. But now ifyou torture yourself, it will only make your kinsfolk hurt and enemieshappy. Mrs. Brent will only feel happy when she knows about this.”

"Ah. Get kinsfolk hurt and make the enemy happy. Who is the kinfolk,and who is the enemy?" Emily sneered.

"I know you're angry with Mr. Brent too. You think that he knows thetruth but doesn't seek justice for you. He knows the truth and... But whoknows the pain in Mr. Brent's heart? He is such a proud person but hebegged Mrs. Brent so that he could replace you. He is such a low-keyperson. But he didn't hesitate to appear in public in order to let youknow that he is fine. But you didn't run according to the route Iarranged in advance. No one knew where you ran to, and then therewas no news of you. You didn't know how many times Mr. Brent hadasked me with a dead heart that whether you were no longer in thisworld. That Mr. Brent was really heartbreaking. Not to mention Mr.Brent, even Jason and I were angry with you at that time. Knowing thatMr. Brent was fine, why didn't you come back and why did you still hideoutside?"

"So is it all my fault?” Emily sneered.

Lisa shook her head and said, "Of course, I know it's not your fault. I canonly say that the god of destiny makes fools of the people. Of course, itcan also be said that someone causes all of these and Mrs. Brent isdefinitely the culprit. So if I were you, I would definitely take revengeinstead of lying here and feeling sorry for myself. Could it be that cryingand being sad could make you take revenge and replace the child?"

"Then tell me what to do,” Emily snorted and said, "I was hoping thatFranklin didn't know about this before. And I thought that he wouldseek justice for me when he knew about it. But it proved that he alreadyknew about it, but he did nothing. What could I do?"

"I never think that one has to rely on anyone else to get justice back.Maybe I am in a different situation from Miss Johnson. I know I have torely on myself since I was a child,” Lisa said.

Emily blushed when she heard Lisa's words. Then she smiled bitterlyand said, "I have to rely on myself since I was a child too."

"In that case, why do you want Mr. Brent to seek justice for you? Can'tyou do it yourself?"

"Myself?"

"What is the thing that Mrs. Brent fears most?" Lisa asked.

Emily was stunned. She was not a stupid person. How could she notknow when Lisa reminded her like this?

But in that case, what would happen between her and Franklin...

"Lisa, are you busy these days?" Emily suddenly asked.

Lisa nodded, "Yes, Jason is in charge of searching for the young master.So I have to do other things. And the wedding is near especially andmany things are not ready yet."

"Franklin and Avery's wedding! In that case, why must he let me stay byhis side?" Emily said bitterly.

This was the last thing she could figure out. If Franklin really had nofeelings for her, why would he let her stay with him? If he had feelingsfor her, how could he let her be the bridesmaid and watch him getmarried?

If she really wanted to revenge on Mrs. Brent, then how could she useFranklin?

So she couldn't figure it out. Even if she had an idea about how toretaliate against Mrs. Brent, there was nothing she could do withoutFranklin's help.

"I don't know. Actually, I also don't understand why Mr. Brent wants tomarry Miss Lewis. To be honest, I don't see that they are very intimate.They don't even contact each other usually. You've been living with Mr.Brent all this time. How can you not know about this? If Mr. Brent reallywants more than you, he won't have asked me to come over to takecare of you almost every day.”

Emily, ".."

She pursed her lips awkwardly. What Lisa said was not unreasonable.Ever since she came back, she had been with Franklin. Although therewas no guarantee that Franklin's body was with her every day, thesituation was also very close to that. After all, the two of them had beenmarried before, and Franklin was not a lustful person

But every time in this period of time, he would not stop until he hadhad sex with her several times. If he still had the ability to replace and havesex with Avery, then she had to say that he was really “capable’.

But if he didn't have feelings for Avery, why did he want to marry her?Emily couldn't figure it out.

Or was it that Franklin respected Avery and wanted to have their greatsex life until they got married, so he vented his desire on her beforemarriage?

"You must not think that Mr. Brent doesn't do anything out of respectfor Avery. Do you still think that we are in a feudal society, and womenshould pay attention to reputation? If they really had feelings for eachother, they would have had a lot of sex. Who would care about thoseillusory things?"

"But please don't ask me. I don't know what Mr. Brent thinks either. Butif you want to know, it's actually very convenient. If a man loves awoman, then he can make an unconditional compromise. You might aswell try it." Lisa blinked at Emily.

Emily frowned doubtfully, but soon she understood.

"But if it doesn't work, I will ask for a snub.”

"My Miss Johnson, what time is it now? You want to revenge, and youdon't want to condescend and lower your status. You can just continueto be like this with Mr. Brent! If you really annoy Mr. Brent, he won't letyou go and you won't be able to look for the child." Lisa saidspeechlessly.

Emily's thoughts swung slightly at Lisa's words. She pursed her lips andsaid in a low voice, "I see, Lisa. Thank you for persuading me.”

Lisa saw that it was as if Emily had taken her words into the heart. Shecould not help but heaved a sigh of relief, "I'm also atoning for myself.Of course, if it weren't for me..."

"Don't say that. I know you had no other choice back then. If I wereyou, I would have made the same choice as you." Emily said with abitter smile.
