Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 88

"Why should I believe you?" Emily quickly realized that something waswrong. Why should she believe that Lucas was telling the truth?

Lucas said in surprise, "Do you think I'm lying to you?"

Emily said, "I've been in contact with Ivy a few times. I don't think she’ssuch a person. She's very simple and kind. She greeted me friendlywhen she saw me. Why would she order Lily to do that to me? Besides,she was there that day. Is it all her conspiracy?”

"Simple and kind?" Lucas sneered, "I'm afraid no one but Ryan will thinkthat she is simple and kind. She is Harry's younger sister. She has beenspoiled since she was a child. We all know how unruly and willful she is.She just pretended to be kind. She had once expelled her classmate outof Lancaster because that classmate accidentally stained her clothes.She's nice to you, but it's all a facade. She's deliberately showing it touncle, or maybe she’s trying to engage you and make you lessdefensive.”

"Is it really as serious as you say?" Emily became more confused whenhe said this.

Lucas said, "If you don't believe me, just ask uncle if lvy is involved inLily's case. It seems that Uncle didn't tell you the truth! Yes, he knowswho she is, and he had been doting on her as she was his real sister. Hecouldn't bear to blame her, so he deliberately hid it from you.”

"That's why you called me here?" Emily asked with a frown.

Lucas shook his head, "I just want to remind you to be careful of Ivyand Iris. And I really want to buy your car. I can pay as much as youwant."

"Sorry, I won't sell it regardless of how much you pay me. If you justwant to tell me about this, I really appreciate your reminder. If there'snothing else, I'll go first. I won't see you again,” said Emily, standing up."Emily." Lucas also quickly stood up and grabbed her arm.

Emily glanced at him and said coldly, "Let go."

Lucas unwillingly let go of his hand, walked to the door, and personallyopened the door for her, "I'll see you off."

"No need.” Emily refused.

But Lucas still walked her to the door and watched her get into the carbefore leaving.

Emily sighed. She didn't expect that not only did she fail to sell the car,but she also met Lucas and heard so much from him.

In fact, she believed what Lucas said. After all, Franklin told her that Ivyhad done something wrong to her before. It seemed that this was thecase.

It was only because Franklin was afraid that she would be completelydisappointed or angry with Ivy that he deliberately hid it from her.Emily felt uncomfortable, even though she knew that Franklin was verynice to her and he even called Ivy over to scold her last time. But hedeliberately hid this matter from her, which showed that Ivy was alsovery important to him.

She just wondered who was more important to him, Ivy or her?

"Hey, Sebastian, this is Emily. Do you have time now?" Emily drove toSebastian's company and called him.

As soon as Sebastian knew that Emily was coming, he immediately wentdownstairs.

He greeted Emily with a big smile and said delightedly, "Why are youhere all of a sudden? You didn't call me in advance. Fortunately, I didn'tgo out."

"Get in the car! I have something to tell you," Emily said.

Sebastian nodded, opened the door and got in.

"Just say it! As long as I can do it, I will try my best.”

"Sebastian, about the phone call..." Emily hesitated for a while beforeshe mumbled, "Do you understand that?"

Sebastian lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "I know, but I don'tknow why he called me. Did you tell him?"

"Of course not. I just helped Joyce to write you a love letter. I didn'texpect it to be seen by him. Then... Then he called you. I'm sorry." Emilyapologized pitifully.

Sebastian said, "You don't have to apologize to me. It's not your fault.”"Sebastian, thank you. But... What do you think about Joyce's feelingsfor you?" Emily asked tentatively.

Although Joyce said she didn't have to worry about it and he solved ithimself, she still wanted to confirm Sebastian's thoughts first. After all,Joyce was her best friend and she really wanted her to be happy.

And the greatest happiness was that the person she liked justhappened to like her.

"Emily, you know what I'm thinking,” Sebastian said, lowering his head.Emily was embarrassed and quickly said, "Sebastian, it's absolutelyimpossible for us to be together. I'm married. Besides, you don't knowmuch about me. If you know more about me, you'll replace that I'm soannoying and pretentious. I'm not as good as Joyce. she has a goodtemper and is kind. She's the model of a good girl.”

"But it isn't like turning on and off the tap. You can't do it even if youwant to. It also isn't like going to a big market to buy cabbages, whereyou can just pick out the right ones. Joyce is so good, but I don't likeher. That's what can't be changed,” Sebastian said.

Emily said anxiously, "How can you not like her? She really likes you!I've never seen Joyce like a person so much. You will know her as soonas you get in touch with her. You know how good a girl she is.”

"Emily, I can accept that you don't like me. But you can't force me tolike others,” Sebastian smiled bitterly.

Emily was speechless.

He was right. She could reject Sebastian, but she could not force him tolike others

But Joyce...

"Anyway, I want you to think about it carefully. Even if you don't like hernow, you might like her in the future. If she confesses to you and youreject her, you can't take it back. Joyce is really a good girl. You'll replaceout when you get in touch with her, and I hope you don't hurt her,”Emily advised.

Sebastian nodded and murmured, "I'll take your words to heart."

Emily twitched her lips and thought that he just needed to take this tohis heart.

She really couldn't figure out why she could mesmerize Sebastian.Right now, her heart was in a mess. Nothing could be worse than hergood friend's crush falling in love with her.

After Sebastian got out of the car, she patted the steering wheel inanger again and left.

But neither she nor Sebastian knew that at the corner between the twobuildings, Joyce, who rushed to give Sebastian chicken soup, saw it.Joyce frowned, unable to understand why Emily came to see Sebastian.And they had been chatting in the car for so long. What did they talkabout?

"Hey, Emily, where are you? Did you sell your car?"

"Oh, I'm on my way home. I just finished talking to the buyer. Notgood. Joyce, you don't have to worry about this. I'll handle it myself.""Okay." Joyce hung up the phone and pouted, her eyes flashing withconfusion.
