Hello, Mr. Brent

Emily turned his head in disbelief and looked shocked when he saw Franklin. Then, with a thousand surprises, she threw herself at him and hugged him tightly and asked, "Why did you suddenly come back? When did you come back?"

"Mr. Brent came back in the morning. As soon as he came back, he went to the company to deal with things. Knowing that I had an appointment with you to eat here, he asked to come with me. Fortunately, he came with me. Otherwise, he wouldn't have encountered such a thing." Lisa stood up and explained, then swept coldly towards Anthony and Elena.

Franklin gently hugged her and patted her on the back.

Then he pulled her apart and asked, "What happened?"

Emily was so angry that her face turned green. She pointed at Anthony and Elena and said, "I don't know. These two crazy people came to me for no reason. It's totally unreasonable.”

"Lisa, call the police,” Franklin said coldly.

Elena looked at them in a daze and struggled to get up from the ground. He shouted at Anthony, "Anthony, don't you care if someone bullies your wife? You're a useless man. Call the police when you call the police. You touched me, and I have to pay for my injuries.”

Lisa sneered and said, "Auntie, are you out of your mind? Do you think this restaurant has no surveillance video? You hurt people first, and we Mr. Brent are just defending ourselves. Do you think the police will believe you, a blatant and inexplicable shrew, or Mr. Brent, who has made countless contributions to Lancaster every year?"

Elena's expression was stiff, and Gandhi didn't look at Anthony. Anthony gritted his teeth and pulled Elena up, "Let's go. Don't make a fool of yourself here.”

"I'm not leaving. Iris is still in the hospital. I can't let her go so easily.” Elena cried.

But there was no point in crying. She was not making sense of it. Even without the surveillance video, many people could testify. She was the one who made the first move. Without Franklin, those people might not have had anything to do with it.

But Franklin is here. This is the president of The Brent Group. Who doesn't want to curry favor with him?

Just two people would be able to testify for Emily about how innocent she was.

"Mr. Brent, are you still calling the police?" Lisa asked.

Franklin looked at Emily, and Emily didn't want to make a big deal out of it. He shook his head and said, "Forget it. Even though I was beaten, they suffered a lot. Let's call it even!”

"There's no need to call the police. We'll settle this privately,” Franklin said to Lisa.

Lisa understood and immediately nodded with a smile.

Franklin asked her again, "Do you still want to eat?"

Emily shook her head. How could she be in the mood to eat when this happened? He was so angry that he was full. Besides, there was no room for him to stay in this restaurant.

"Then let's go! Tell me what you want to eat. I'll let Lisa buy it." Franklin held her hand.

Emily shook his head and said, "I don't want to eat anything. Let's go back to the company! You must have some unfinished business. I'll wait for you to get off work together.”

Franklin nodded, but still asked Lisa to buy some food to bring back. After returning to Franklin's office, Franklin asked her to sit down and rest. Lisa made her coffee, then gave her food, and hurried to the conference room for a meeting.

As soon as Franklin left, Emily asked Lisa, "Why didn't you tell me about Franklin's return? It was such a surprise. I thought I was dazed.”

Lisa smiled and said, "It's not that Mr. Brent wanted to give you a surprise. He specifically told us not to tell you. But today's incident was quite unexpected. What happened to your parents? They all hit people to the restaurant. Mr. Brent will never let it go.”

"Who knows? It's weird. I also said that I hurt their daughter. I haven't seen her for a long time. You can do whatever you want with Franklin! Don't care about me,” said Emily.

She knew that Franklin would never benefit the Anthony couple by letting Lisa deal with them privately, and she would definitely retaliate against them.

But this time, she didn't want to be soft-hearted, not to mention that Anthony was not her biological father at all, and she didn't need to take any consideration.

"Okay, leave this to me!" Lisa got her permission and nodded.

Emily took a bite of the food that Lisa bought, took another sip of coffee, then looked at the door and asked Lisa mysteriously, “Lisa, let me ask you something.”

Lisa raised his eyebrows and said, "So you asked me out for dinner today because you have something to ask me?"

Emily clapped his hand and said, "Smart, I guessed it all at once.” "What's the matter? Ask! But shouldn't you ask me when Mr. Brent will be back? Now that everyone is back, what else do you have to ask?" Lisa was puzzled.

Emily sighed, pursed her lips and said, "Jason is back too! Did he talk to you about things over there? Things that have nothing to do with work over there, like some private activities, meeting someone..."

"Do you want to ask who Mr. Brent met over there?" Lisa interrupted her.

Emily nodded solemnly.

Lisa curled his lips and said, "You don't trust Mr. Brent too much. Is Mr. Brent that kind of person? Because the contract is too busy, there is no time to drink. Besides, Mr. Brent won't go when he has time. Mr. Brent is a clean freak, and he is better than anyone else.”

"I didn't say he was going on a drinking spree. I meant... To meet his old flame.”

"Avery?"

"Look, even you know Avery is in England,” Emily shouted immediately. Lisa said, "Avery's business in England is not a secret. Almost everyone knows it. It has nothing to do with Mr. Brent. Mr. Brent goes to England to do business, but it has nothing to do with Avery. It's all over the years. You can't even be jealous!"

"I'm not jealous, I just think... I just think why he didn't tell me," Emily muttered.

Lisa asked, "What do you want Mr. Brent to tell you? Report to you that his first love is also in England, and have they met?"

"Sure enough, they've met before,” Emily said, immediately aggrieved. It's not just the lyrics. Mr. Brent and Miss Lewis have been in contact all these years, and it's no secret. Every year, Miss Lewis's birthday and other festivals, Mr. Brent would ask me or Jason to prepare gifts. What's the big deal? They grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Could it be that just because Mr. Brent married you, he had to cut off his relationship with her?"

Emily pursed her lips. Every word Lisa said made sense. But if it makes sense, she just feels bad.

Perhaps there is no common sense to explain the matters of love. The so-called love itself is selfish. Selfishly monopolizing, selfishly not wanting to share with anyone.

Emily never knew that she was such a selfish woman. She could love someone to such a degree that she couldn't tolerate anyone else.
