Hello, Mr. Brent -
Chapter 62
"Hello, Mr. Carter." Emily was pushed over by Joyce to greet Harry.Seeing her, Harry stood up and smiled, "Miss Johnson, you're here."Ivy also stood up and looked at Emily carefully.
Emily felt her gaze, looked at Ivy in surprise, and thought in her mind,"The little girl is really beautiful. Is she Ivy?"
Ivy walked up to Emily with a smile and shook hands with her, "Hello,Emily. I'm Ivy, Harry's sister.”
"Hello, Miss Carter,” Emily responded to her uneasily.
Emily complimented her in her mind, "Ivy is such a beauty.”
Even so, Ivy still couldn't be compared to the girl, whose photo wasseen by Emily on Franklin's desk that day. That girl must be Avery.Compared to them, Emily felt that she was so plain and ordinary.
"Has your leg recovered?" Ivy asked with concern.
Emily shook her head embarrassedly.
Harry said, "Emily, let Miss Carter have a seat, so we can talk about thething.”
Emily nodded. Seeing Joyce help Ivy out of the wheelchair, she quicklyheld her other arm and helped her to the table.
Emily was so touched and felt it's rare to see people like Miss Carterwho not only had no airs at all but also was so considerate and warm-hearted.
"Mr. Carter, this is my good friend Joyce, and this is designerSebastian." After Ivy sat down, she introduced them to Harry.
Joyce and Sebastian both greeted Harry. Joyce was very timid, for it wasthe first time she had met such a big shot.
Harry, on the other hand, was very kind. After a short conversation withthem, he said that he had seen Sebastian's design sketch, and felt verysatisfied. Then he handed the house-decoration task over to them."What do you like, Emily?" Ivy brought the menu to Emily.
Emily was flattered and said, "Just order whatever you want. I'm notthat particular about food.”
"No, just order whatever you like. Don't feel shy or uneasy. It's mybrother who pays anyway." Ivy winked playfully.
Her words made Emily like her even more, and she kept saying in hermind. "What a sweet and lovely girl."
"What's wrong with Franklin? There's such a girl who likes him, but heremains indifferent?” Emily thought to herself.
“Ivy, it looks like you and Miss Johnson really hit it off,” Harry saidhappily.
Ivy smiled, "Of course, I liked Emily the first time I saw her. I thoughtshe was very kind."
"Didn't you tell me that Miss Carter is your rival in love? Why is she sokind to you?" Joyce whispered in Emily's ear while everyone was notpaying attention.
Emily also lowered her voice and said, "I don’t know! But she is reallycute, and I like her very much.”
"Be careful. She may have murderous intents behind her smiles. Allthese rich people are smart and shrew that they don't do anything forno reason,” Joyce warned.
Emily nodded and said disapprovingly, "You think too much. I believeMiss Carter is indeed cute and simple.”
Joyce could not say much. Seeing Ivy and Harry looking at them, sheimmediately stopped and gave a smile.
The food was served quickly. While eating, they chatted about thehouse. Ivy also talked to Emily about some gossip in the entertainmentindustry, but she didn't mention Franklin at all.
But just as everyone was enjoying the food, a man suddenly rushedover and poured a glass of liquid on Emily's face.
"Ah!" Emily screamed in fear.
Joyce also screamed. She was sitting next to Emily, so it was alsosplashed on her.
Harry immediately stood up and asked with a cold face, "Who are you?"Sebastian also stood up in case this person did some other things.Fortunately, what she spilled was just a cup of ink, not sulfuric acid, so itwould not disfigure Emily.
But that also scared Emily and Joyce. Even though they knew what itwas, they were still scared and could not calm down.
"Emily, are you okay?" Ivy quickly picked up a tissue and wiped the inkoff Emily's face.
Emily's face was "ruined". The ink was still dripping down her head, andher face was all blackened, which made her want to cry.
"Emily, you bitch."
Not only did the woman not admit her mistake, but she also pointed atEmily and scolded her.
Emily recognized her and said tremblingly, "Lily? It's you again!"
"Oh, it's you! You are such a bitch. The last time you hurt Emily, and thistime you splashed ink. What do you want?" Joyce also recognized Lilyand scolded her angrily.
Lily sobbed, "Emily, you bitch. Don't take advantage of me and act likeyou're being wronged. Last time, I asked someone to rob you, but youlet Franklin fire my father and I lost my job either. Emily, I must avengeyou for this. I will never let you off for the rest of my life!"
Emily looked at her in surprise and saw that she was much thinner thanbefore. It seemed that the last time Franklin told her not to worry aboutit, which meant that he would kick Lily's ass hard.
But she didn't expect her to do that again.
"Call the police immediately,” Harry said to the security guard who hadrushed over.
Lily was dragged by the security guard, but she still struggled to yell atEmily, "You bitch. Even if I die, I will haunt you forever.”
"Emily, what's going on? Why is this woman doing this to you?" Ivyasked innocently.
Emily was in a bad mood and knew what she looked like without amirror. At that moment, she really didn't want to say a word, and justwanted to get out of there.
Joyce knew her well and quickly said to Harry and Ivy, "Mr. Carter, MissCarter, we will go first. Excuse us, we'll see you next time.”
The two of them quickly helped Emily into the wheelchair and took herout of here.
As soon as Emily left, Ivy threw the tissue in her hand on the table andtook another one to wipe her hands.
Harry glanced at his sister and frowned slightly, but said nothing.Emily didn't say a word along the way and refused Sebastian's help towipe her face.
Joyce also sat in the back seat this time and said to her sympathetically,"Emily, don't be like that. Cry out if you feel sad! Lily is mad. Don't careabout her."
"Joyce, stop it,” Emily muttered.
Tears were in her eyes, but they did not fall. She looked even morepitiful, and Sebastian felt sorry for her and clenched his fists.
The car soon arrived at The Brent's Residence. Emily was helped downby Sebastian and Joyce and got into a wheelchair.
But just then, Franklin's car arrived
Jason stopped beside them and was startled to see Emily's face. Hequickly asked, "Madam, what's going on?"
Franklin rolled down the car window and looked at Emily. He was alsoshocked to see her like that.
