Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 296

Daniel's attitude did not surprise Franklin because he succeeded inprejudging it. Therefore, Franklin didn't get angry. However, Franklinpaid prolonged attention to Daniel's look in his eyes as he rested hiseyes on Emily. He found out that Daniel just glanced at Emily for onesecond, and then looked swiftly away. It seemed that Daniel didn't evenknow her. Franklin squinted his eyes and breathed a quiet sigh of relief.Bryan Miller faked a smile and said, "Mr. Williams, may I present Mr.Brent, Franklin, the president of the The Brent Group to you. GeneralManager Mr. Brent has been my old friend for many years. He hasintroduced Mr. Brent specifically. Just now we ran into each other. So Itake this opportunity to invite Mr. Brent to join us.”

"Run into each other? I think this is more like a purposeful encounterarranged by Mr. Millers!" Daniel refused to save Bryan Miller's face anduncovered his trick directly.

Bryan Miller had known Daniel for many years. Of course, he was fullyaware of Daniel's direct personality. He produced an embarrassed smilewithout being angry or denying it, which could be considered a directacquiescence.

After Daniel sat down, he looked at Franklin with cold words jumpingout of his mouth, "Mr. Brent, why are you so insistent? You get whatyou get, and it is pointless to stick to what does not belong to you."Franklin responded calmly, "I also want to give these words to you. Youget what you get. You are being utterly pointless now, yearning forthings that don't belong to you.”

"Oh, it turns out that Mr. Brent is interested not only in stealing otherpeople's son, but also in repeating other people's words." Danielsneered with poignant sarcasm.

Franklin curled his lips slightly and glanced at Emily beside him. He saidto Daniel, "You have been constantly claiming that my son is yours. Iguess you know your son's mother very well, don't you?"

Daniel immediately snorted, "Absolutely. I'm not as muddled as you,being unclear of such an essential thing.”

"Well, since Mr. Williams has such a sober mind, let me introduce thislady to you. This is my wife and my son's biological mother, Emily.Bryce's name comes from my wife's and my surnames. Now you canunderstand why his name is Bryce!" Franklin said.

He dared to introduce Emily with this identity because he found outthat Daniel couldn't even recognize Emily.

Daniel not only failed to recognize Emily but also allocated no attentionto her. Except for the first glance, Daniel never looked at Emily again.Therefore, Franklin was bold in introducing his wife to a stranger.

Sure enough, when he said that, Daniel was stunned and frowned atEmily.

After looking at her for a while, he found that she looked familiar.However, he couldn't tell who she resembled from his blurry memory.Bryan Miller, on the other hand, also looked at Emily as Daniel keptlooking at her. However, it was him who exclaimed with surprise, "Mr.Williams, you and Miss Johnson look somewhat alike. Hehe."

He just wanted to break the ice here. Unexpectedly, both Franklin andDaniel looked at him simultaneously in surprise after he finishedspeaking.

The smile on Bryan Miller's face faded in the blink of an eye. Heimmediately gave his sincerest apology, "Gentlemen, I'm just kidding.Please don't be angry.”

"Is your surname Johnson?" Daniel looked at Emily and asked.

Emily nodded, "Yes, my surname is Johnson. My name is Emily, and myson's name is Bryce. I don't know why you claim that Bryce is your son.I'm pretty sure he's definitely my son. Me and Franklin gave birth tohim. I don't even know you. How could my son have anything to dowith you? Just give my son back to me as soon as possible. I haven'tseen him for a long time. I really miss him."

"Is your mother's name Abigail?" Daniel suddenly asked.

Emily was stunned for a moment. She looked at him in surprise, "You...How do you know?"

Daniel's face suddenly turned as white as the sheet. He rose at onceand then left without saying a word.

Neither Emily nor Franklin had reckoned with Daniel's suddendeparture. Bryan Miller also stood up and shouted, being anxious, "Mr.Williams, are you leaving? What happened?”

But Daniel ignored him and had already left quickly.

Franklin frowned, looked at Bryan Miller and asked, "What's wrong?"Bryan Miller shook his head and looked confused, "I don't know.Indeed, he has a bad temper and is a little strange. But it's my first timeseeing him acting so weirdly."

Franklin frowned as if he was processing something. He did not askBryan Miller again. It seemed that Bryan Miller also didn't know much.Therefore, he said to Bryan Miller, "Thank you for your arrangementtoday. Since Daniel has left, we won't disturb you."

Bryan Miller said obsequiously, "Mr. Brent, you're welcome. Mr. Brentand I have been old friends for many years. I'll try my best to do whatMr. Brent asks me to do. I'm just sorry that I haven't helped.”

"Mr. Miller has helped us a lot," Franklin said politely.

After exchanging usual pleasantries with Bryan Miller, Franklin wentaway with Emily.

In fact, Emily was extremely anxious, but it was inappropriate for her tosay it out loud when Bryan Miller was still on the scene.

As soon as she got in the car, she said to Franklin, "From my point ofview, this Daniel is totally strange. Why does he know who my motheris? And probably he is even familiar with her!"

Franklin rubbed her hair and said dotingly, "My dear, you are so smart.You have succeeded in concentrating on the crucial point. I believe thathe has some kind of special relationship with your mother!"

"What?" Emily was surprised. However, she said quickly, "Don't talknonsense. What kind of special relationship could this be? He's soyoung, my mother... This shouldn't be that kind of relationship.”

Emily thought Franklin was talking about the same kind of relationshipbetween Abigail and Hunter. Before she met Daniel, perhaps she wouldbuy it on the first thought. Now that she had seen Daniel in person, shewould not believe that Daniel would be in love with her mother.

Even though her mother was beautiful and still attractive at her age, itwas easy to tell that Daniel was an extraordinary man. Why would thiskind of man be attracted by her aged mother?

As expected, Franklin couldn't help but laugh. He pinched her earlobeand said, "Of course it's not that kind of relationship. However, if wewant to figure out what it really is, we have to ask your mother about it.Let's go there first. Maybe only your mother can tell us the truth.”Emily nodded. Since Daniel knew her mother, perhaps her mother reallypossessed some information.

When the two of them went to Abigail's place, Abigail happened to beat home.

But she was about to go out to buy some food. Seeing them, she calledin pleasant surprise, "Why are you here, Emily? Are you okay? I was soworried about you after you had left secretly the other day. Finally, youare here again.”

"Mom, I'm fine. Don't worry." Emily quickly put her arm around her andcomforted her with a hug.

Abigail nodded happily when she heard that her daughter was fine.Then she nodded to Franklin behind her as a way of greeting.

Emily added, "Mom, I came here because I got some real business withyou. There are some things I can't sort through. I want to ask you aboutthem."

"What's the business? I really need to go shopping first! You two canhave dinner here when I get back with food. We'll talk while eating. Thefood market is within walking distance. I'll come back in no time."Abigail said.

Emily said, "No, no, no. I don't have time to eat. I have to ask now. Youcan enjoy your shopping time later! There's something so significantthat I want to know right now."
