Hello, Mr. Brent -
Chapter 32
Iris didn't even know how she got home. The crowd looked at her withmock contempt, making her feel like a million arrows had pierced herheart. What made her even sad was Lucas" attitude. Instead ofcomforting her, he complained to her on the way home.
It was just that she didn't have a good relationship with Emily anddidn't know about the relationship between Emily and Franklin.
Iris gritted her teeth in anger and muttered in her heart, "you don'teven know, why do you think I should know?"
When she got home, she went upstairs to take a shower and changeher clothes, ignoring her mother-in-law's surprising eyes.
When she went downstairs, she saw the three people of The Wrightssitting together, looking worried.
"Why? Are you all afraid of Emily taking revenge on you?" Iris snortedsarcastically.
In the past, she thought The Wrights was very powerful. Only after shegot married did she realize that it was just a paper tiger. The Wrightswas dependent on the Brents for survival, without the Brents, TheWrights was nothing.
"Apologize to Emily immediately and ask her for forgiveness," Lucasdemanded.
Iris was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wanted to rush up andfight with Lucas. How could he ask her to apologize to Emily?
But Iris didn't expect that not only did Lucas say that, even Mr. and Mrs.Wright said, "We also think you should apologize to your sister. Franklinis a man who never wants to see his beloved ones being bullied byothers, so don't drag us into it if you annoy him."
"Do you think I can solve this by making an apology?" Iris held back heranger and snorted, "The grudge between us was formed when Lucasand I got married. We don't have to be afraid of Emily. Ultimately, it wasbecause Franklin was there to help her. Without Franklin, we don't haveto be afraid of her at all.”
"But Franklin..."
"Mr. Brent is a man of wealth and power, while Emily is just an ordinarywoman. The Brent family would not accept her. I heard that Mrs. Brentis a powerful woman, and she has placed great expectations on Mr.Brent.” Iris interrupted Mrs. Wright.
Mrs. Wright thought for a moment, then came to her senses, pursedher lips, and said, "I see. I'm going to meet my mother."
Iris smiled. And she didn't simply believe that Emily could succeed inmarrying Franklin without Mrs. Brent's approval.
Emily transferred all the money into the hospital. Although her motherwas awake for a short period of time, fortunately, her mother was ableto recognize Emily after Emily had told her mother who she was.
The follow-up treatment fee was a little troublesome. Emily was worriedabout how to contact Franklin again to discuss the unsolved problemslast time.
Emily didn't expect to see a strange man in a black suit standing infront of her house.
"Ah."
Emily was startled and looked at the man warily.
The man bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Are you Emily Johnson?""Yes, I am. Who are you?"
"Miss Johnson, I am a servant of the Brents. Our master would like toinvite you over and follow me, please.”
"From the Brents?" Emily frowned.
Subconsciously, she thought that this person was sent by Franklin.Thinking that she was just looking for Franklin, she was relieved andimmediately took out her cell phone to call Joyce. After Emily askedJoyce to ask for leave for her, she got into the car with this man.
The car drove all the way out of the city and then onto the highway,driving for a long time before stopping in front of a large mansionfacing the mountains and water.
Looking at the extraordinary mansion, Emily opened her mouth insurprise. Was this the Brents?
"Miss Johnson, please.” The man made an inviting gesture and let Emilyin.
Emily regained her senses and quickly followed the man in. It took along time to get to a side hall.
"Sit here and wait for a while. Madam will be here soon.” The man ledher here and left.
Emily did not react for a moment. When she did, she exclaimed,"Madam? Really?"
But the man had already left, and there was no one in the empty livingroom, so she did not even know who to ask.
Fortunately, someone came soon.
At the head of the group was an elegant and graceful woman in herearly forties, with a very graceful figure. She was the kind of womanwho was stunning to look at. Moreover, she looked a bit familiar.
For some reason, Emily was a little timid at the sight of her andhastened to stand up straight in a formal manner.
When the woman came in, she looked at Emily and said faintly, "Youmust be Emily!"
Emily nodded, but looked at the elegant madam bewilderedly andasked, "May I ask who you are."
"I'm Mrs. Brent."
"Ah? Franklin's wife?" Emily was horrified.
She thought Franklin wasn't married. Why would a wife come out?Mrs. Brent's face darkened and she frowned, "You're not intellectuallychallenged, are you? How could Franklin fall for a woman like you? Isthe news right? Why does my son have such poor taste in women?""Are you Franklin's mother?" Emily was even more surprised and said,"But you look very young! You look like his sister.”
Mrs. Brent covered her mouth and smiled, seemingly pleased by thisgirl.
"You don't look smart or pretty, but you're a good talker. Is it becauseyou can say sweet things so that Franklin likes you?" Mrs. Brent saidwith a smile.
Any woman, especially at her age, who was praised for being young,was always satisfied.
Emily smiled awkwardly. It was not that she could talk, but that Mrs.Brent looked more like Franklin's sister!
Emily was confused because she had met Lucas' mother, the secondMiss Brent, who looked definitely not younger than Mrs. Brent. Therewas no reason in the world for a mother to be younger than herdaughter.
"Do you know what I asked you to do today?" Mrs. Brent smiled andbecame serious again.
Emily shook her head.
Mrs. Brent snorted and said, "I heard that Franklin really likes you andcares about you. Right?"
"I don't think so. It's just that by some coincidence ... somethingcoincidental happened.”
"Humph, I don't care about coincidences or not. A man like Franklin willdefinitely marry a woman who is talented, beautiful, generous and froma superior family, not someone like you."
“I know, and I don't want to keep pestering him. I'm pregnant and mymother desperately needs a batch of money to cure her illness. As longas he is willing to raise the child and cure my mother's illness, I amwilling to marry him." Emily stated her reasons.
"What? Are you pregnant?” Mrs. Brent stood up abruptly, and her calmand elegant appearance was gone.
Emily nodded and whispered, "I just want a sum of money to treat mymother. I'm not greedy."
"Call Franklin right away and tell him to hurry back." Mrs. Brent yelledhysterically at the servant, her emotions stirring.
