Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 37

"What do you mean by “unfair? Do you still want to go to work afteryou marry me? Does my wife have to stand in the sales center to sellhouses? You're my wife. Franklin Brent's wife. You have to be on call andyou're not allowed to refuse any of my requests. Aren't those yourduty? Why don't you take a look at how much pocket money I'll giveyou every month? Isn't it much more than your salary?"

Contrary to her yelling at him, Franklin explained to her very calmly.However, Emily bit her lip and insisted, "But I want to go back to work. Idon't want my life to be affected after I marry you."

The title of Mrs. Brent did not belong to her at all. She would give it upsooner or later. What should she do by then?

It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it was difficult theother way round.

Only by staying true to herself could she continue her peaceful life afterhe divorced her. After all, she didn't have the confidence to remain trueto herself and be herself while living a luxurious life.

Of course, Franklin didn't understand these at all.

He only felt that Emily didn't know how to appreciate favors. At first,she had refused him, and then she had had to agree to marry himbecause of her mother's medical fee. This whole series of incidentsshowed that she did not want to marry him at all and that she wasforced to agree at the end.

This thought infuriated him, and the more he thought about it, theangrier he became.

When had he, Franklin, ever been rejected like this? How dare she rejecthim?

"This is my only request.” Emily saw that Franklin was getting more andmore upset, so she added immediately.

Well, she could be on call for him, but continuing to work was herbottom line.

"Why do you have to work?" Franklin asked.

Emily puckered her lips and spoke nothing. Naturally, she could not tellhim why.

Franklin stared at her angrily, wishing that he could take her face in hishands and squeeze it so hard that she would be unable to see himstraight.

"Do you agree or not?" Emily asked again in a low voice.

The ending of her tone rose slightly, with a hint of coquetry.

Franklin was startled. He felt as if something had just swept over hisheart and it felt itchy.

"Okay, I agree. But you also have to think it through. As my wife, it's noteasy for you to continue working there peacefully.”

It was not his fault when the company asked her to leave in the firstplace.

"That's another issue I want to discuss with you." Emily saidimmediately, “About the wedding... I want to cancel it. Let's just get ourmarriage certificate. With the marriage certificate, we can get a birthcertificate, and we don't have to worry about the child's identification.”"Emily." Franklin roared.

The butler and the servants were all startled. They had already beencurious about the fact that their Mr. Brent had brought a woman back.Now they were even more curious when they heard the growl of Mr.Brent, who had always been calm.

Who was this woman on earth? What's her relation with Mr. Brent?How could she make the indifferent and calm Mr. Brent lose his coollike this?

"Why are you yelling? You scared me." Emily patted herself on thechest.

Franklin gritted his teeth and said, "You should be glad that you'repregnant, otherwise..."

"Otherwise?"

"What do you think?" Franklin snorted and suddenly approached her.Emily was taken aback by his eyes. Now she was also glad that she waspregnant.

"Do you agree or not? If you agree, we'll go to the marriage registrytomorrow.” Emily asked again.

Franklin clenched his fists, suppressed the anger, stood up abruptly,and said to Jason, "Send her back."

"You haven't answered me yet."

"Emily, if you dare to say another word, I will make you regret havingcome here." Franklin threatened.

Emily was so scared that she shut her mouth instantly. She stared athim in fear and left with Jason.

After getting in the car, Emily asked Jason, "Jason, has Mr. Brent alwaysbeen so hot-tempered and unpredictable?”

Jason smiled and said, "Mr. Brent took over the company at the age of18, and the company got better and better. Do you think such a manwould be hot-tempered and unpredictable?"

Emily thought about it for a while and agreed with him. Otherwise, hewouldn't have become the richest man in Lancaster.

But why did she feel that he was so unpredictable to her and that hewould lose his temper so easily?

Jason seemed to have found out her confusion and sighed, "MissJohnson, those who get involved cannot see so clearly as theoutsiders."

"What do you mean by that?" Emily asked curiously.

Jason smiled but said nothing. In fact, he kept silent all the way.

After Emily was sent back home, she called her mother's attending tomake sure that her mother was all right today before she went to bed.However, she blushed when she saw the marks on her body in theshower.

She thought of what Franklin had done to her in the dressing room..."Bastard."

Emily cursed and covered her head with the quilt.

The next morning, she went downstairs to go to work. She didn't expectto see a familiar supercar parked on the side of the road just as shewalked to the gate.

Emily frowned and walked by, ignoring it.

The supercar opened. A man got off and ran up to her.

"Emily, let's have a talk," Lucas said eagerly.

Emily stopped, turned around, and shot him a warning glare, "We havenothing to talk about.”

"Emily, why are you so cruel to me?"

"Lucas, don't you think what you said is so ridiculous? I was so gratefulthat you lent me your membership card last time, but you brought Irisand her two besties over to humiliate me. You did it on purpose, right?"She was no fool. She knew it when she saw Iris and her besties that day.Lucas did it on purpose. He knew Emily was there, but he took the threeof them with him. He wanted them to fight.

Of course, she didn't want to know what he would do after the fight.Lucas’ evil intentions disgusted her.

"I admit that I took them there on purpose. I also admit that I wantedthem to trouble you. But I just wanted to help you, to make you like meagain.”

"Well, I can't thank you enough. But no matter how much I like you, youare my brother-in-law. That can't be changed.”

"Emily, if I divorce Iris, can we get back together?” Lucas askedanxiously.

Emily was stunned by his nonsense, "Of course not. Lucas, let's just endthis here. Don't let me look down on you."

"But I regret it." Lucas said, "I regret having married Iris in such a hurry. Iregret not having listened to your explanation back then. Could yougive me another chance?"

"You should call her aunt,” Franklin said coldly.

Emily was busy arguing with Lucas that she didn't notice Franklin washere.

Lucas was startled and turned around in horror.

Franklin pulled Emily over, held her jaw, and kissed her.

Emily stared blankly at him with her mouth slightly open, while Lucasfroze completely.
