Hello, Mr. Brent

Chapter 56



Franklin snorted coldly, "You are just too soft-hearted. Can't you see her true face until she poisons you like Anthony? Jason's investigation cannot be wrong. She must have something to do with this.”

"Then... What should we do? Call the police?" Emily asked timidly.

She remembered that Lily's family had some power. Her father seemed to work in the police station, so it might be useless to call the police! "Her father is a police officer! Do you think it's useful to call the police?" Franklin asked.

Emily shook her head.

Franklin sighed at her troubled look and couldn't bear to force her any further. He rubbed her hair and said, "Okay, I won't trouble you. Leave this to me and you don't have to worry about it.”

"Then how are you going to solve it?" Emily asked curiously.

"Humph, she dared to hurt you so hard, then she must pay the price." Franklin snorted, a chill flashing in his eyes.

Emily shuddered when she thought of what he said about throwing her into the lake and letting fish eat her. She said nervously, "You're not going to kill her, are you?"

Franklin twitched and said, "What are you thinking? I'm not that kind of person.”

"That's good. Just warn her and teach her a lesson, but don't kill anyone.” Emily said. In fact, she was a timid person.

Franklin was very speechless to her. He helped her to lie down and turned off the light. He said coldly, "Go to sleep! There are still many things to do tomorrow.”

Emily closed her eyes and thought, "What can happen? I can't even leave the house now. It doesn't matter if I sleep early or late.” However, next to her soon came the sound of Franklin's even breathing, so she closed her eyes slowly.

When she woke up the next day, and Franklin had already gone to work.

She slept until woke up naturally, and didn't have to worry about whether there was enough food for her to eat. She hadn't had such an experience for a long time. But lying on the bed was really bad. She stretched and asked the maid to help her wash her face and rinse her mouth. Then she hopped onto the wheelchair with a limp and asked the maid to push her out for a walk.

The sunlight in the garden was great, making Emily drowsy.

Just as she was dozing off in her wheelchair, she suddenly heard the noise at the door.

"What's going on?" Emily asked.

The maid shook her head and immediately went to see what was going on. She quickly came back and said, "Mr. Anderson and Mrs. Johnson are here, shouting to see you. But the butler stopped them, so they started arguing.”

"Anthony and Elena? Why do they come here?" Emily frowned.

The maid shook her head, indicating that she did not know.

"Push me back," said Emily.

The maid quickly pushed her back. As soon as she got back to the living room, she saw Anthony and Elena pulling with the butler and Elena crying heavily.

"What's the matter with you guys? Why are you coming to cry at my house?" Emily said sarcastically.

When Anthony saw that she was here, he immediately let go of the butler and ran to her and begged, "Emily, for the sake that I am your father, please beg for mercy with Franklin. Dad has been so hard to get to this position, I can't be destroyed just because of this."

"Emily, it used to be auntie's fault, auntie's fault. Please, for the sake that he is your father, don't destroy him." Elena also pounced on Emily and burst into tears.

Emily frowned and looked confused when she heard what they said. She didn't know what was going on.

"Wait, don't cry,” said Emily.

But the two of them didn't listen at all and kept crying.

Emily got angry and shouted, "Stop crying.”

Then the two of them stopped crying and looked at her with a twisted expression.

Emily took a deep breath and said, "You have to tell me clearly what happened. I can't understand what's going on if you keep crying. It's just a waste of time."

Elena wiped her eyes again and looked at Anthony with a grievance. Anthony took a deep breath and sobbed, "I went to work today, but as soon as I arrived at the company, I was informed that the company had been acquired. Not only that, I... was also suspended. The new general manager also took out old accounts and said that I had been corrupted and bribed during my time in office. In fact, everyone has done those things, but he has only attacked me and said he was going to court to sue me. It was all against me on purpose. When I inquired about others, I found that our company was acquired by the Brent Group. It must be Franklin who did it."

"Emily, your father and I have realized our fault. We... We treated you badly before. But you are so kind. Please don't get even with us. Please tell Franklin not to do this to your father. After all, he is your father and his father-in-law.” Elena echoed, crying.

Emily sighed and understood.

Looking at the tearful Anthony and his wife, she did not have much sympathy. After all, the punishment for what they had done to her was light. But she was touched by what Franklin had done for her. He must have done it to help her be revenged on them.

How could she disappoint his kindness if he did this for her?

So she immediately said to the butler, "Send them off! These two people have nothing to do with me. Just chase them out.”

"Emily, are you that cruel?" Anthony stood up in shock.

Elena was also angry and scolded, "You little bitch, do you have a heart or not? He is your biological father.”

"Hmph, why didn't you think I was your daughter when you treated me like that? Now you even said this. Who's the shameless one? Push me upstairs, I don't want to see them for a minute.” Emily snorted and ordered the maid.

The butler had already ordered the servant to chase the two away. When the two of them left, they were still swearing dirty words loudly. Emily's face darkened and she was too angry to say a word. The butler asked in a low voice, "Madam, do you want to call Mr. Brent?"

"Forget it, don't disturb his work.” Emily shook her head.

The butler nodded and asked the servant to push Emily upstairs. He poured her another cup of tea to clear heat.

Emily felt bored, so she turned on the TV and saw entertainment news. It was said that Ivy, the Carter's daughter, had returned home from abroad today. The scene at the airport was shown on the TV.

Emily caught a fleeting glimpse and saw Ivy wearing a windbreaker, sunglasses, and a mask on a hot day, so her face couldn't be seen clearly.

Emily was stunned by the name. The news soon moved on to the next one, but she had no desire to hear it.

Ivy was really a big shot. She just went back home, but this thing could be on the news.

Emily heard that she was very fond of Franklin. She didn't know what would happen to the two of them when they met.

"Madam, Mr. Brent just called to say that he would not be back for dinner tonight. He told you to eat by yourself. You don't have to wait for him. Go to bed early.” The servant knocked on the door and reported to Emily.

Emily snorted coldly, "Who will wait for him? Of course, I will sleep first.”

He didn't even come back tonight. It must have something to do with Ivy. Did he go to meet her? It must be like this.

The more Emily thought about it, the angrier she got.
