Hello, Mr. Brent -
Chapter 99
"Wait, what did you say?" Emily said immediately.
Harry looked at her in surprise.
Emily immediately said anxiously, "What do you mean by harmingAlan? What's wrong with Alan?"
"You don't know?" Harry looked at her surprisingly.
Emily said, "What do I know? I was taken away from the villa that day byFranklin. I have no idea what happened to Alan.”
"But why did you quarrel with Franklin? I thought it was because ofAlan,” Harry said.
Emily shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with Alan. No, ithas something to do with him, but it doesn't matter much. Anyway, wehad a quarrel. Tell me what happened to Alan first. What's wrong withhim?"
"Alas." Harry sighed and said, "Alan's situation in the Brents is alreadyvery awkward, and Franklin has never liked him. Now he had the affairwith you, so Franklin is even more dissatisfied with him. He worked forFranklin's sister to live a life before, but the matter was so severe thathis eldest sister fired him in a fit of anger and refused to let him goback. Anyway, he was already an adult and it was a great kindness ofFranklin's sister to raise him up. Now no one else dared to contact himanymore, and Franklin even made him kneel at the entrance of TheBrents’ ancestral hall. He had been kneeling for half a day.”
"What? That's too much. How can he treat him like that?" Said Emilyangrily.
Harry said, "This is a family matter of the Brents. You'd better not tostep in. In fact, it's his fault. He shouldn't have been so close to you.”"Is that why he's going to be treated unfairly? No, I'm going to Franklin.I'm going to reason with him.” Emily got up angrily.
Harry said quickly, "Miss Johnson, calm down. If you go to Franklin now,you cannot help Alan at all but make Franklin even angrier. Thinkingthat you are against the world for Alan, he will be even angrier. I reallyshouldn't have told you this. I thought it was because you knew aboutit that you quarreled with Franklin and left home.”
Outside, there was a sudden "Boom" sound. It was the thunder.
The weather was supposed to be fine, but it suddenly rained.
The raindrops fell. In the room called "Rain Listening Pavilion," theycould hear the rain very clearly.
But Emily was not in the mood to appreciate it at all. Once she thoughtthat Alan was still kneeling outside, the rain made her more upset."Why is it so unfair?" Emily said sadly.
Harry was silent, and he didn't know what to say to Emily. After a while,he sighed and said, "I don't know how to explain it to you. Youprobably don't know how important you are to Franklin. Because ofyou, he's not only angry at Alan, but also angry at Ivy even if Ivy neveradmitted that she had anything to do with it. He called me today andtold me to send Ivy abroad and forbade her to stay at home.”
"Is that why you want to treat me to dinner?" Emily finally understoodwhy Harry was so attentive to her.
So, it was all for Ivy! He wanted her to go to Franklin and plead for Ivyto stay.
But she didn't understand.
"Since you and Franklin are friends and have no conflict of interest, whyare you afraid of him? He asks you to send your sister away, but why doyou have to do that? Why do you listen to him?"
"We are best friends, so there are a lot of secrets that we don't wantoutsiders to know about each other. This time Ivy crossed his line, and Ican understand why he was angry. But he doesn't listen to me now. It isbetter for the doer to undo what he has done. I'm afraid only MissJohnson can resolve the conflict.”
"Then you may turn to the wrong person.” Emily said, "I can't helpanything. He told me to get lost and didn't want to see me anymore.What else can I do?" Emily sneered.
Harry said, "Tough love. It's the first time I've heard him tell someone toget lost. No matter how angry he used to be, he wouldn't say such aword. It shows how important you are to him that you can make himlose his mind."
"You really think highly of me.” Emily snorted.
"Even if it's not for Ivy, you should go to Franklin because Alan's fate isin your hands. Can you bear to watch Alan suffer this kind of unfairdisaster?" Harry said.
Emily bit her lip. She really didn't want to help Ivy. Although there wasno direct evidence that she was the one who played the trick, she wasdefinitely to blame.
But Alan.
"He probably won't even see me now. Will my words work?" Emily wasnot self-assured.
Harry immediately said, "Don't worry about that, Miss Johnson. There'san event tonight that Franklin will definitely attend. I'll bring you in andgive you a chance to meet him. As long as you put down your prideand say a few nice words to Franklin, I don't think Franklin will refuseyou."
"It seems that Mr. Carter has arranged everything. What else can I say?"Emily muttered.
Harry said, "Miss Johnson, thank you for your kindness. If you need mein the future, I will do my best.”
"If Alan is fine, can I ask you to give him a job?" Emily thought of whathappened to Alan and was very sympathetic, so she immediately askedHarry.
Harry shook his head, "If you want me to give him a job, you might aswell ask Franklin to forgive him. Without the forgiveness of the Brents,he can't survive in Lancaster."
" see.” Emily pursed her lips.
After dinner, Harry asked his assistant to prepare another set of clothesfor Emily and had her put on light makeup.
Harry thought that a beautiful appearance was also the magic weaponto win the negotiation, but Emily scorned to do it.
Even if she had good looks, she didn't want to treat Franklin kindly.
On the way there, Harry looked at Emily's cold face and repeatedlyurged, "Miss Johnson, you can't look like this when you see Franklin. Begentle and happy, or you can't have a pleasant chat.”
"I see, Mr. Carter. I didn't know you were a nagging person.” Emilyglared at him.
Harry smiled bitterly and realized that he was a little verbose. But whenhe saw Emily's expression, he couldn't stop nagging!
"Harry, who is she?" An old friend was surprised to see that Harry tookEmily in and he asked.
Harry said, "This is Mrs. Brent, Franklin's wife. We just met and cametogether. Franklin hasn't come yet! Let's go in first."
"Oh, it's Mrs. Brent. When did Mr. Brent get married? I don't know," theman said in surprise.
Harry smiled and said, "It's a long story. I'll tell you later. Let's go infirst.”
As he spoke, he warmly put his arm around his shoulder and let Emilywalk around outside, waiting for Franklin to come over.
Emily curled her lips and walked around for a while. This was a privateclub, so she didn't have to worry about meeting bad guys.
However, no one said that there were no bad guys among the rich.After wandering around for less than a minute, she saw Andrewcoming.
When Emily saw him, she immediately turned around and was about toleave, but she did not expect that Andrew also saw her. He called out,"Emily," and strode towards her.
"Why are you hiding when you see me? Long time no see. Don't youmiss me at all?"
