Hello, Mr. Brent

"I came here today to look for you." Emily pressed her lips and mustered up the courage to say it.

“I'm busy." Franklin stood up and walked out.

Emily was anxious and she grabbed him and said, "Give me three minutes. No, just two minutes.”

"I won't give you even one minute,” Franklin said firmly.

After saying that, he shook her off and walked out, very determinedly. Emily was so angry that her face turned red and she stood there with her fists clenched, her eyes misty.

She really did not expect that Franklin, who had said he would be responsible and marry her, would be so heartless now.

But on second thought, she thought that was reasonable. She thought Franklin said that just on a whim. Now that he had calmed down, of course, he would avoid her like she was a snake or a scorpion. He just wanted to avoid her, so how could he be fully prepared to marry her? "Forget it. It is completely impassable”, she thought to herself. She should think of other ways.

With a bitter smile, she wiped away her tears and was about to leave. But unexpectedly, when she walked out of the door, she saw Franklin leaning against the wall, arms folded. It was as if he was waiting for her. "Why are you still here?" Emily was surprised.

Franklin looked at her reddened eyes and frowned slightly, “I've thought about it and I'll give you a chance! But not now. I'll take you home after the party. Let's have a talk in the car.”

"Really? You are really willing to talk to me?" Happiness came so suddenly that Emily could not react.

Franklin said, "Forget it if you don't believe me.”

Then he turned around and walked downstairs.

Emily quickly caught up with him and said, "Of course, I believe you. How can I not believe you?"

"Ah."

Emily was in such a hurry that she slipped and fell to the ground with a cry.

Franklin was startled and grabbed her by the waist.

Emily looked at him in a daze. Before she could react, Franklin yelled at her, "Are you a fool? You just walk and fall. I don't know if you're abnormal now, or if you want to kill your baby on purpose.”

“I'm... I'm sorry." Emily apologized in a daze.

"Idiot." Looking at her, Franklin was not even in the mood to scold her. He released her and cursed, but instead of turning around, he took her hand and went downstairs.

While holding her hand, he snorted, "Hold on to me. I won't hold you if you fall again.”

Emily nodded her head hard, but she was scared when she came back to her senses. If she had fallen, she might have hurt her baby.

She really did not expect Franklin to like children so much. Although he did not like her, he was so concerned about the child in her womb. "Lucas, look, your uncle is helping Emily down the stairs.” When Iris looked up and saw this scene, her face darkened and she quickly tugged at Lucas.

Lucas also showed a shocked expression and clenched his fists.

Harry went up to Emily and asked, "Miss, are you okay?"

"Thank you, I'm fine.” Emily shook her head quickly.

She pulled her hand, trying to pull it out of Franklin's. But she didn't expect him to hold her hand so tightly that her hand didn't even budge at all.

Harry smiled and looked at her from top to bottom, "Ivy is shorter than you. You shouldn't be comfortable wearing her clothes!”

Emily realized that the clothes she was wearing belonged to someone else. She quickly apologized, "I'm really sorry. My clothes are dirty, so..." "It doesn't matter. It must be Franklin who gave the clothes to you! He bought it for Ivy. It's the style he likes," Harry smiled

Emily glanced at Franklin, surprised that it was Franklin who had bought the clothes. She didn't know what his relationship with this girl was. "You're so talkative. I'll take her away if there's nothing else.” Franklin frowned unhappily, not caring about his old friend's feelings at all. Harry smiled bitterly and said, "The party has just begun. Are you leaving? At least stay a little longer to show respect to others.”

"There's no need to be more nice than wise. I didn't want to join in the first place. It was you who insisted on inviting me, so I came here to show respect to you,” Franklin snorted.

Then he took Emily's hand and left.

Emily was so embarrassed. Even as a bystander, she felt very embarrassed to hear Franklin's words.

Just as she was about to teach him to be polite, Lucas suddenly held Iris's hand and blocked their way.

Franklin frowned. Before he could say anything, Iris asked excitedly, "How can you two be together? What's your relationship?"

Franklin snorted coldly and scolded Lucas, "Is she your wife? She's not polite at all and dares to question me like this.”

Lucas regained his senses and realized what he had done. He quickly lowered his head and apologized, "Uncle, I'm sorry. I'll teach her a good lesson when we get back.”

"It was she who had sprained her ankle and bumped into the attendant, so the attendant splashed the wine on you?" Franklin turned to ask Emily.

"Ah?" Emily was stunned and she nodded blankly.

"Well, just in time. We should solve this problem before we leave," Franklin said.

At this time, a waiter passed by with a glass in his hand. Franklin took the glass of red wine from his tray and delivered it to Emily.

"You may do what you like."

Emily looked at him in surprise and instantly understood what he meant.

Iris also understood. Her face was pale with fear, and she shouted to Emily fiercely, "Emily, if you dare to splash the wine on me, I will not let you go."

Franklin snorted and looked at Lucas coldly.

Lucas shuddered from his gaze and he immediately tugged at Iris and shouted to her in a low voice, "Shut up.”

Iris looked at him in disbelief, as if she had not expected him to be such a coward.

Emily didn't decide to retaliate by that at first, although she was also angry at Iris for treating her like that. But when she heard Iris's arrogant words, she couldn't help but get angry.

Holding the glass of red wine in her hand, she splashed it on Iris's face. Ignoring her screams, Franklin and she left directly.

They hurried out, and Emily stopped, panting.

Her heart was pounding, but she was so excited that she couldn't help laughing.

"You know what? This is the first time in so many years that I have done what I wanted to and didn't dare to do. I've splashed a glass of wine on Iris's face. Hehe, I always wanted to do this, but I never dared.”

"If you want to do it in the future, just do it. If others bully you, you should retaliate. Your life only lasts a few decades, and you are not living to be bullied,” Franklin said lightly.

Emily smiled bitterly and said, "But not everyone can do what he wants to do like you. You have a powerful background, and no one dares to trouble you even if you do anything. But I don't. I'm just an ordinary person.”

"I'll be your backer from now on."
