Hello, Mr. Brent -
Chapter 33
Franklin sat on the sofa listening to his mother talking from the nationalrighteousness to the spirit of rather die than surrender, from the riseand fall of the country to the prosperity and fading of the family.
Then she repeated Emily's words to him from the beginning to the end,pointing angrily at him and scolding, "You... You actually found apregnant woman to deal with me. Do you think all children should beborn with the surname Brent?"
Franklin's face was calm and indifferent, but when he heard that Emilywanted to marry him because of her mother's medical expenses, hisface immediately turned gloomy.
He said coldly, "I don't have the ability to make all the childrensurnamed Brent."
"Then why did you replace a pregnant woman?!"
"Because the baby in her belly should surname Brent.”
"Oh, who do you think I'm? Am I that stupid! You're my son and am Inot knowing you? How could you be related to such a woman?" Mrs.Brent sneered.
"Don't you believe it? Then wait until the baby is born and let's do apaternity test to see if it's mine,” Franklin said slowly.
Mrs. Brent's face froze. She looked at him in a daze and asked, "Thischild... Is it really yours?"
"Do you think I'm an idiot who raises children for others?"
“But.”
"An accident.” Franklin looked at Emily and said coldly, "I was set up,and she was set up too. Then we got together by chance.”
Mrs. Brent's expression became complicated with all sorts of emotions.She could investigate the truth of the matter easily. If it was true...
She turned her head to look at Emily and then at her son, who waselegant and handsome, then she felt very grieved.
"Franklin, if you don't want to marry this kind of woman, you don't haveto be responsible. At worst, you can give her some alimony when thechild is born." Mrs. Brent said painfully.
Emily's face darkened, wondering what Mrs. Brent meant, "Does shethink 1 am not worthy of her son? Is she kidding? If I was not in urgentfor the money, I wouldn't want to marry him!" She thought.
"If you give me some money now, I don't have to get married,” Emilymuttered.
Franklin's face turned even darker, "How can my son not have theidentity and name that he shall have? You don't have to worry aboutthis. You just attend it when I get married.”
"Come with me.” Franklin then walked to Emily and reached out to hercoldly.
Emily glanced at Mrs. Brent, and the latter looked equally surprised.She couldn't help but put her hand on Franklin's hand. His face was soterrible. As soon as her hand was put on, Franklin held it and pulled heraway.
"Are you a fool? You can follow whoever picks you up. If someone elsesells you, do you still help them to count the money?"
As soon as he left the house, Franklin yelled at Emily.
Emily was so wronged that she lowered her head and whispered, "Hesaid he was from the Brents. I thought it was you who asked him to pickme up."
"Remember from now on, I will definitely go to replace you personally.Even if I don't go, I will let Jason go. I won't send those messy men toyou."
"Is that... Really your mother?" Emily's gossipy heart was burning. Shewas really curious about this matter.
Franklin glared at her and asked bitterly and speechlessly, "Did youhear the key point?"
"Yes, yes, but is she really your mother? I've met Lucas’ mother before.She's not as young as your mother,” Emily whispered again.
Franklin's face darkened and glared angrily at her, then he got into thecar.
Emily bit her finger. Did she say anything wrong?
But Mrs. Wright really looked older than Mrs. Brent, at least three orfour years older. No matter how poorly she maintained, there was noreason for a mother to be younger than her daughter.
"Why are you still standing there? Get in the car! Do you want to runback on foot?" Franklin yelled at her.
Emily quickly opened the door and got in the car, but as soon as shegot in the car, she remembered what he had done to her in the car.She blushed and her heart beat fast, leaning as far away from him aspossible.
Franklin's mood worsened when he saw her hiding from him and hesaid with a gloomy face, "Why are you hiding so far away? Will I eatyou?"
"You won't eat me, but you will do strange things to me,” Emilywhispered.
Franklin," ..."
He couldn't help but think about what happened that day. His earsturned red, but he couldn't refute it.
"My mother said you married me because of your mother's medicalexpenses. Is that so?" Franklin coughed again and tried to ask in a calmtone.
God knew how angry he was now, and he wanted to strangle thiswoman.
In her eyes, was he just worth little medical expenses? Did she have abrain or not?
"I promise you, I will never pester you again.” Emily thought he didn'tbelieve her and quickly raised her hand to swear.
Franklin was so angry that he even laughed. He looked at her andasked, "So, in your eyes, this is all that I worth?"
"Of course not. If you can help me cure my mother's illness, I will begrateful to you for the rest of my life. I know that you urgently need awife to stabilize your position. I am willing to be this person. When yourchildhood sweetheart comes back, I will give up my positionimmediately.”
"Oh, who told you that I need a wife to secure my position, and whotold you that I had a childhood sweetheart coming back?" Franklin wasspeechless.
"Isn't it?" Emily raised her eyebrows.
Franklin was so angry that he didn't want to talk to her. He took a deepbreath and said coldly, "Since you are willing to sell yourself as acommodity, that's good. I also like to do business in order to avoidtrouble in the future. I will ask Jason to draft a marriage agreement. Ifthere is no problem, we will get married as soon as possible.”
"Okay, but can you pay me a medical bill first?" Emily asked
Franklin said, "You don’t have to worry about your mother. I'll arrangefor a better sanatorium for her as soon as possible. Since she's mymother-in-law, every treatment she receives should be the best.”
Emily looked at him in surprise, not expecting him to do what he saidso quickly. Her mother was soon transferred to the best sanatorium inLancaster.
Apart from that, he also found her mother a doctor she had beenlooking for but could not afford.
Jason's marriage agreement was also drafted and it was sent to her tosign.
Looking at the terms, the corner of her mouth twitched and she askedJason, "Where's Mr. Brent? I want to talk to him face to face.”
This was not a marriage agreement. This was basically a contract to sellherself and a contract to sell herself as a slave.
"Miss Johnson, I'll arrange it for you,” Jason said respectfully.
Soon, he arranged an appointment for Emily to meet Franklin.
Jason personally sent a car to send Emily over, but she didn't expect itto be a golf course. Franklin was playing golf with someone there.
As soon as Emily arrived, she was arranged by Jason to change into herjersey and she was brought to Franklin under the guidance of thecaddie.
