Chapter 21
The two are Iris's best friends, and also close to Emily. They used to study at the same school.
But they had never been nice to her. Emily had thought they just had different characters and values, but now she believed it was probably because Iris pretended to be her sweet sister in public but spoke ill of her in private.
"Get out of my way!"
"Watch your mouth, bitch!" They blocked the way in anger and called her name.
"What, so are you a shameless dog?" Emily sneered.
Lily was so pissed off that she ran over to slap Emily.
Emily was not a doormat. She grabbed Lily's wrist and flung it aside, "Lily, I don't have any grudges with you, but why are you so mean to me?"
"Well, if it weren't you, how could Chuck break up with me?" Lily said angrily.
Emily sneered, "It happened many years ago. How could you still hate me because of it? I've told you so many times. Your break-up has nothing to do with me. I don't like him. He might be a jam in your eyes, but means nothing to me."
"Yes, you don't like Chuck. You like Lucas, and you want to marry into a rich family. What a pity! Lucas has married Iris rather than you." Abby mocked.
Emily didn't want to talk to them anymore and pushed them away. "Emily, why are you here?" Iris was also here. Not a surprise at all. Since the three had always been close, it was not strange for Iris to have dinner with them.
“I'm treating someone to dinner,” Emily said coldly.
Iris frowned, "What? This is one of the most expensive restaurants and only accepts VIP members. How can you get in?"
"Well, 1..."
Emily hesitated because it was Lucas who kindly gave her his membership card. If she told the truth, it would cause a misunderstanding between Iris and Lucas.
"Did Lucas give you his membership card?" Iris suddenly figured it out and asked fiercely.
Since she had got the truth, there was no need to hide it, "Yes, he thanked me for persuading him to marry you. I was just asking for a little reward.”
"Emily, you are such a bitch. I think you still have feelings for him, and you are trying to get close to him on purpose!" Iris cursed.
Emily sneered, "Iris, you called me "dear sister" yesterday, but called my name when you became Mrs. Wright today. Don't you forget, who helped you be his wife?"
"Of course, I didn't forget. Emily, you're a slut just like your mother,” Iris cursed.
Emily flushed with anger and slapped Iris in her face hard, "You can say this to me, but you can't insult my mother. You fucking bitch!"
"How dare you!" Iris covered her face and glared at Emily in disbelief. Abby and Lily quickly gathered around Iris and asked with concern, "Iris, how are you? Does it hurt?"
"Emily! I will not let you off I" Iris pounced on her like a crazy woman. Abby and Lily were on her side. Now it was one versus three.
This scared Emily. Her face turned white and she could not help flinching back.
When fists of the three crazy women were about to fall on her face, a harsh and cold voice came to her ears, "What are you doing?"
Emily turned around. It was Franklin. He walked fast to her and stood right in front to protect her.
Lily and Abby didn't know him, but their legs became jelly when they saw such a handsome man. Just now, they were all so aggressive, but they immediately became soft and meek the moment they saw Franklin. Their eyes were even sparkling with affection.
Iris knew Franklin and she asked in surprise, "Mr... Mr. Brent, why are you here?"
