Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 8

"Why are you here?" Emily's eyes reddened when she saw her father.She hated him and wished to destroy him even at the cost of her ownlife.

Anthony asked coldly, "Did Iris come to see you today?"

"Hmph, just keep a tight grip on your daughter." Emily thoughtAnthony came here to apologize.

"She will be married to Lucas in a few days. If she asks you to attend thewedding, you must attend it. Don't let her down. It's only once in herlife. 1 don't want to see her being disappointed.”

Emily refuted angrily, "Why should I hurt myself to please her? That'syour business, not mine. I don't have to please her.”

"If you don't go, I'll stop paying your mother's medical bills. Thinkabout the consequences, carefully,” Anthony snorted.

Emily couldn't believe her ears, "Anthony, be a man, okay? Do youreally have to corner me like this?"

"You can just go to the wedding ceremony. You're Iris's older sister. Youshould make her happy, especially when her requirement is not a bigdeal.”

Emily was furious at his words.

She used to be too stupid and naive. Although she started working ayear ago, she had an outstanding performance and a good salary. Butshe was so naive that she left only a small portion of the salary toherself and gave the rest to Anthony.

He said he would help her save the money, partly for her mother'smedical treatment and partly as a dowry when she got married.

She didn't expect it to become a condition for him to threaten her."Okay, I'll go." Emily said through gritted teeth.

Anthony left with satisfaction. Emily went to her mother's ward. Whenshe saw her scrawny mother lying on the bed, she couldn't help but cryloudly.

After that, she grabbed a taxi to the most prestigious five-star hotel inthe city and walked in after showing the invitation letter to the security.The wedding photo of Lucas and Iris was placed at the entrance, anddecorated with big golden letters of "Congratulations on the Newly-wed". How ironic. This hotel was where she had lost her virginity to astrange man. It's like everything was destined.

The wedding was over, and Emily was already late. She went in to greetAnthony and Elena first, indicating that she was here. But they showedcold eyes to her.

Lucas's parents were a little embarrassed when they saw Emily. Sheforced a smile and said calmly as she could, "I have to go back to theoffice, so tell Lucas and Iris that I've stopped by and wish them a happymarriage.”

"Okay! Bye!" Mrs. Wright answered immediately.

Lucas had taken Emily to meet his family before, so Mrs. Wright knewshe's his ex-girlfriend. It would only be awkward for her to show up onLucas's wedding. No doubt Mrs. Wright didn't want her to stay hereanymore.

Emily breathed a sigh of relief. As she approached the exit, shesuddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the corner of her eye.Her face turned white instantly and her body involuntarily trembled.What a coincidence! Why was he here?

Watching the man walking towards her, Emily immediately turnedaround and left.

But...

"Sis, why are you leaving? You haven't congratulated me in person yet?"Iris, this bitch, showed up and held her back.

Emily gritted her teeth in anger and whispered behind her back, "Iris, letme go. Don't make me do something embarrassing you. You'll surelyregret it."

Iris froze and subconsciously loosed her hand.

Emily sighed out of relief, when the man’s voice came from behind,"Who is this young lady?"

"Mr. Brent, this is my elder sister, Emily." Iris immediately pulled Emilyover to introduce her to Franklin.
