Hello, Mr. Brent

Chapter 234



When Franklin got home, he asked someone to call Jason over and directly to the study.

Emily didn't know why Franklin looked for Jason. Anyway, she didn't have a good time shopping today. After going upstairs and changing her clothes, she saw that the bodyguard had already put all the things she bought on the sofa, but she had no intention of looking at them. Jason came down quickly and greeted Emily when he passed the living room.

Emily asked casually, "Why did he look for you?"

Unexpectedly, Jason answered, "He asked me to cancel the original magazine report and ban some interviews from being broadcast.”

"Ah, why?" Emily was surprised.

Could the newspaper that was sold be taken back? Could the TV show be taken off the air? It was the first time she had heard of such a thing, Jason smiled and said, "Of course. It's simple. I'll get started right away. In fact, it should have been done a long time ago. It's just that Mr. Brent needed to be in the public eye more frequently, so he appeared on a few shows and several magazines and newspapers. But a man of Mr. Brent's status doesn't need to be exposed to the public. So it's better to conceal those resources as soon as possible to save himself from this kind of trouble that happened today."

Emily immediately understood that the trouble Jason was talking about was that Franklin was recognized by someone today when they were going shopping.

That's reasonable. Franklin was a good-looking person. Of course, he was the focus when he was outside. But most people didn't know him before, and they could just look at him and talk about him. Now that they knew who he was, it was inevitable that he would attract a crowd. But Emily really didn't understand. Franklin used to be very low-key and he rarely participated in other activities. He just occasionally attended some inevitable social engagements but didn't like to go to crowded places.

In particular, he never participated the TV station's exclusive interview and something like that. So even if he was Lucas’ Youngest Uncle, she didn't recognize him at that time.

"If he had known things could go this way, why did he have to be so high-profile?" Emily muttered.

Jason was stunned, but he smiled and said, "It was for Miss Johnson." "For me?" Emily frowned.

Jason paused, coughed softly, and said awkwardly, "I shouldn't say that, and please don't tell Mr. Brent. Mr. Brent appeared on these magazines and TV back then mainly to let you see him and come back earlier.” Emily, ".."

"What nonsense are you talking about? If he wants me to come back earlier, just go find me. It's not easy for him to find someone, but it's not very difficult!” Emily muttered.

Jason smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, it should be like this. But who can guess what Mr. Brent was thinking? Just conceal those as he said now, and it will save him these troubles in the future. Miss Johnson, if there is nothing else, I have to go first. I got something to do.”

"Well, go ahead and give my regards to Lisa.” Emily said politely.

Jason nodded and left.

Emily looked upstairs and sighed.

Thinking that he had found a lawyer to defend her mother, she hesitated for a moment and went upstairs to comfort him

After all, what happened today when they were shopping was also for her, so it was reasonable for her to comfort him.

But when she got to the study, Franklin waved at her and asked her to go over.

Emily walked over obediently and stood beside Franklin. Franklin reached out and pulled her to sit on his lap.

"What are you doing?" Emily shook at this pull and blushed in embarrassment and anger.

"Help me see which ring looks good.” Franklin put his arm around her waist to stop her from moving.

Only then did Emily see a book on his desk with several rings on it. They were all diamond rings, dazzling and beautiful

Thinking that it might be a wedding ring for Avery, Emily couldn't help but be envious. She was even angrier at Franklin for going too far. Why did he ask his ex-wife to help him choose the wedding ring?

"I don't know. You should ask Miss Lewis about this." Emily said angrily. Franklin smiled and said, "I want to give her a surprise. How can I let her choose? You are all women. Women may have the same taste. If you think it's good, she will like it too.”

"That's not necessarily true. I have a different taste from her. We are two completely different types of people.” Emily immediately retorted. Franklin looked at her fair and tender cheeks with a burning gaze and suddenly leaned over to kiss her, "But your choice of a man is the same. There must be no difference in choosing a diamond ring."

"Who said that we have the same taste when choosing a man? I'm different from her." Emily immediately jumped up and said angrily. What he meant was that she liked him. Humph, if he hadn't forced her to stay by his side, did he think she would have stayed?

"I helped your mother to find the best lawyer to solve your family's problems. Now I'm just asking you to give me a hand and see which diamond ring looks good, but you're unwilling to. Can you still have some conscience?” Franklin lowered his eyes and said coldly. With a grim face, he described Emily as a heartless bastard who did not know how to repay him.

Emily's face turned red from what he said. She was angry and ashamed. Franklin was right. He did help her with her mother. Her attitude was really not good now.

So she suppressed her temper and looked at the diamond rings. Finally, she pointed to one and said, "That's it! It looks noble, elegant, and generous, and it's very suitable for Miss Lewis's identity.”

"Do you think she's noble, elegant, and generous?" Franklin asked. Emily curled her lips and said, "Of course, otherwise, why would you miss her for so many years?"

After saying this, her heart hurt again. When she thought that Franklin only had Avery in his heart, she felt so miserable that even the expression on her face changed.

Franklin snorted and smiled, "You're right. I've been missing her for so many years. She should have been noble, elegant, and generous in my mind. Your advice is very good. I take it and choose this one.”

"Since you've decided, I'll go back to my room and rest.” Emily wanted to stand up.

But she didn't expect Franklin to still hold her waist. What's more, he also leaned over and rubbed her cheek intimately.

"Let's go to rest together. You only helped me to choose a ring. Do you think you've repaid me?"

Emily gritted her teeth in anger and said angrily, "I didn't ask you to help me. You volunteered to help me. Now you keep threatening me to repay your kindness with this matter. Do you feel embarrassed about it?"

Franklin raised his eyebrows and said faintly, "I should be embarrassed, but you know what kind of person I am. In any case, I am a despicable and shameless person in your eyes. What's the difference between being a villain once and being a villain twice?"

Then he suddenly got up and carried her back to the bedroom.
