Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 9

Grabbed by Iris, Emily staggered and almost fell, but fortunately, Lucascaught her. He asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Iris's face darkened and she glared at Lucas sullenly. She pushed Emilyhard towards Franklin secretly, hoping to see her pratfall.

Everybody knows that Franklin is a control freak, merciless andobsessive about cleanliness. He hates physical contact with others,especially with girls.

Unexpectedly, Franklin held Emily up and said with a half-smile, "Hello,Emily!”

Emily's face turned pale and she didn't even dare to look at him. Shequickly broke away from his arms.

Iris frowned. "It is said that Mr. Brent has never shown interest inwomen, but why was he willing to help Emily? Does he like her?" Shethought to herself.

Iris laughed out in her mind and believed that she must be thinking toomuch. How could it be? It was just impossible for someone like Mr.Brent to fall for an ordinary woman like Emily. That is just the mannersand deeds of a gentleman.

However, just in case, Iris explained to Franklin immediately, "Mr. Brent,my sister was Lucas's ex-girlfriend, but she cheated on him and had sexwith another man. Thanks to her, Lucas and I had the opportunity toget together.”

Lucas said unhappily, "Iris, you shouldn't have mentioned it."

Emily kept her head down and looked down at her fingers. Others mustthink she was shameful! But only she knew that it was due to fear.Because the man with whom she slept was right in front of her, and shelied to him last time.

"I see,” Franklin said calmly.

His eyes swept over Emily coldly. Though Emily kept her head down,she could still feel his gaze.

"Uncle, my mother is there. Would you like to go say hi to her?" Lucassaid.

"Uncle?" Emily looked up in surprise and looked at Lucas in disbelief.Franklin smiled and reached out his hand, "Miss Johnson, let meintroduce myself! I'm Franklin Brent, Lucas's uncle, the youngest one.Nice to meet you."

Emily's face turned even paler, and her head was going bang. Shestared at Franklin's outstretched hand and quickly ran away as soon asshe gathered her senses again.

She ran so fast as if she with running with sneakers instead of theseven-centimeter heels. She ran like there was a ghost coming after her."She is becoming more and more impolite. Uncle, don't worry. She isthat kind of person.” Iris snorted and quickly apologized to Franklinwith a smile.

Franklin said coldly, "You'd better call me Mr. Brent!"

Iris's face turned pale, and she pouted unhappily at Lucas, actingcoquettishly, "Lucas..."

Lucas also frowned. Franklin's attitude clearly showed that he didn'trecognize Iris as part of The Wrights.

Normally, he did not need his uncle's permission to get married, but itwas different in his family. The whole family was actually underFranklin's control, and even his father was somehow afraid of him

It would be troublesome if he didn't like Iris. He regretted gettingmarried in such a hurry.

Sure enough, Franklin left before the wedding ended, and his attitudealso surprised Lucas's parents. They were no longer so friendly toAnthony and his wife, and their hospitality towards Iris cooled down aswell.

"Help me investigate a girl named Emily Johnson.” Franklin ordered ashe got into the car.

Jason, his assistant who got in the car with him, immediately said yesand started working on it. Investigating someone without backgroundsis a piece of cake for him. After half an hour, all her information wassent to Franklin.

Franklin flipped it over casually. A cold gleam sparked in his eyes and afaint smile curved on his lips, "No wonder I can't replace her. She lied tome with a fake name."
