Hello, Mr. Brent

After Emily went in, the housekeeper took her to Daniel's study. Daniel's study was large and simple and of a classically elegant style which didn’t look like a person at his age would like.

"Is he waiting outside?" Daniel actually stood up and poured tea for Emily.

Emily took it and was surprised to see that it was milk tea. The smell of milk drifted out. The tea smelled good. Emily took a sip and found it was quite sweet.

"Didn't know there was milk tea in your place!" Emily said.

Franklin would never allow this kind of thing at home or her to drink it. She could drink lemon tea only if some organic honey was added. "There wasn't. I prepared it for you. I think you would like it." Daniel said faintly.

Emily was moved. No matter what, it felt good to be loved by a brother. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. It's my duty.” Daniel said faintly again.

Emily was so moved by these few words. She felt that even if Daniel wanted to exploit her, she was willing to cooperate with him. After all, he was her brother.

"Why did you come today? Did you go back on your word?" Daniel asked.

Emily immediately shook her head and said, "Of course not. Don't worry! But Franklin..."

"Franklin told you I was brewing a plot and asked you to reject me, right?" Daniel said slowly.

Emily pursed her lips, not expecting he would guess it.

"He's not particularly against it. He just thinks... I believe you. You won't exploit me." Emily said quickly.

Daniel lowered his eyelids. His eyelashes were long, and Bryce was very much like him in this aspect. Bryce was a boy, but he had longer eyelashes than a girl.

They had never spent much time together, but for some reason, seeing him like this, Emily knew he was thinking. It was a marvelous fact that two people that were related easily knew what each other was thinking. "Actually, Franklin was right. I do need to use you. Because only you can dispel the idea of the Williams who is forcing me to get married and only you can pretend to marry me. Even if we hold a wedding, I don't have to worry that you would be unwilling to terminate this agreement.” Daniel said slowly.

"What do you mean?" Emily was shocked.

Daniel had only told her that her identity was special. If he told others she was Franklin's sister, then she was in the same league as the Williams. The Williams would not force him to accept other women, which would save him much trouble. Then he would find an opportunity to tell the Williams that he broke up with her, and the Williams wouldn't go to her to verify it.

Why was he still planning to have a fake marriage? He even thought about a fake wedding.

Emily was horrified, and a sense of uneasiness welled up in her heart. She couldn't figure out what Daniel was planning.

"I didn't tell you last time, actually... I like a woman. That's why I mistook Bryce as my son. I thought he was my child with that woman." Daniel said slowly.

Emily was a little confused, but she still nodded to show that she understood. In fact, after knowing that he had mistaken Bryce as his son, she had this idea. She didn't expect it to be true.

"But she left. She was pregnant with our child when she left." Daniel smiled bitterly.

"Then go find her!" Emily said.

Why did this story feel so familiar? It was like what had happened between her and Franklin.

Emily suddenly thought of this, so she quickly said to Daniel, "You must go to her, and you must not stop looking for her because of your pride. Maybe she wants you to go to her quickly. Trust me, because I have experienced the same thing."

"I know about you and Franklin, but what happens between her and me is different.” Daniel said, "She hates me and wants to kill me. She won't want me to go to her. If I search for her, she will continue to hide, hiding where I will never find her.”

"Then you..."

"It's very complicated. It's pretty hard to explain. Anyway, she won't be happy that I found her. She'll be the happiest if she doesn't see me for the rest of her life. But I can't forget her and be with another woman, so I have to put an end to the marriage arranged for me by my family and find a woman that is my equal so that my family will forget about it." "Then why not ask someone else for help..."

"In addition, I also need a wedding to force her to show up. There are many women who want to marry me, and many of them are of equal status, but no woman of equal status as me is willing to pretend to have a wonderful wedding with me and then leaves gracefully. After all, there are very few women like Avery, and Franklin is luckier than me. He can get Avery to put on that show with him and force you to come out. And I also need a wedding to force her to show up. This wedding needs to be very like a real one, which requires the full cooperation of a woman. No one is more suitable than you.” Daniel explained slowly. Emily still didn't understand. She shook her head and said, "But you said that woman would never want you to find her. In that case, would she appear at your wedding? She wouldn't appear anyway."

"She will show up. Bryce needs to cooperate with me at the wedding.” Daniel smiled as if he was very sure he would succeed.

Emily shook her head. She thought this was a little too much.

If this show was just for Mrs Williams, she felt that it was completely fine. It was a piece of cake, and it didn't take much effort. And Daniel would take care of the rest.

But a wedding was a long process. It... It even required Franklin's full cooperation if they wanted to make the show possible.

Once a wedding was held, which was also a wonderful wedding, it was bound to make the headlines and be on TV.

She had been married to Franklin. Although it wasn't known all over the country, it was also known in Lancaster. What others would think of them, especially Franklin, who was marrying his own wife off?

This was not OK. Absolutely not.

She couldn't let Franklin become someone else's laughingstock. Even if others understood them after hearing her explanation, she couldn't let Franklin become a joke for even a while.

"The wedding is too troublesome, and... I'm sorry. I can't do this.” Emily said.

Daniel seemed to have expected she would say that and was not in a hurry. His original plan was to wait for her to become accustomed to being his girlfriend and have deeper feelings with him before he slowly told her. It would be easier for her to agree to his request.

Now it seemed that he had to implement the plan ahead of time. Franklin did not disappoint him, and he really guessed what he had planned

"Take a look at this.” Daniel handed a folder to Emily.

Emily opened it. When she saw what was inside, she couldn't help widening her eyes.
