Chapter 121
"Is Mr. Brent there?" Emily returned to the office and ran into Jason in the hallway. He grabbed his arm
and asked. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Jason froze for a moment when she pulled him. He couldn't help but tremble and immediately broke
away from her hand.
Emily frowned and said, "Why are you hiding from me? I was drunk yesterday, not mentally ill. Is
Franklin in the office? Is he in a good mood today? Is he busy now?"
Jason smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Johnson. I didn't mean to. But Mr. Brent... Is not in a good
mood. If you want to go to him, you'd better not go over now."
"Why?" Asked Emily.
Jason sighed, "It's not about you."
Just as he was speaking, he saw Lisa coming out of the office. When he saw Emily, he was stunned
and said, "I was just about to call you. Mr. Brent is looking for you. He asked you to go in and look for
him."
"Ah, look for me, what's the matter?" Emily asked quickly.
Lisa shook his head and said, "I don't know. You'll know when you go in."
Emily looked at Jason and said, "Didn't you say he was in a bad mood? Why did you call me if he was
in a bad mood?"
Jason smiled dryly and said, "Maybe when I see you, I'll feel better. I'd better hurry in!"
Emily curled his lips, looked at Lisa reluctantly, and walked in step by step.
"I heard from Lisa that you were looking for me. I just came back. What a coincidence." When Emily
went in and saw Franklin, he immediately gave a fawning smile.
Franklin threw the pen on the table and looked back at her coldly.
Emily's heart trembled when he looked at her. He could only smile dryly, but he did not dare to ask
again.
"Close the door." Franklin pointed to the door behind her.
Emily pursed his lips. If he didn't want to close the door, he just didn't want him to get angry! She knew
that Franklin was a little grumpy. He always felt embarrassed to scold her when the door was open.
"If I were you, shut the door now," Franklin said.
Emily had no choice but to turn around and close the door before walking back.
Franklin put one hand on the table and tapped the table with his two fingers from time to time, making a
clicking sound.
After a while, he slowly asked, "How's the thing I asked you to do?"
"I went to Mrs Moore's place, but she scolded me when she saw me, and she refused to forgive me
even after I apologized. As for your mother's place... She didn't see anyone at all, and she even
slapped Ivy." Emily immediately said wrongly.
Franklin frowned and waved, "She hit you? Come here, let me see."
Emily immediately ran over and put his face in front of him to show him.
Ivy's strength was not great, and it should only leave a slight mark now. However, Franklin still showed
a pained expression and rubbed his fingers for a long time.
"Does it hurt?" Franklin asked.
Emily looked at the pain in his eyes and quickly shook his head, "No, I slapped her twice. I don't know if
she will tell her brother. Mr. Carter loves his sister so much. I wonder if he will trouble me."
"He dares." Franklin said, "Ivy made the first move. It's good that I don't bother him. How dare he
bother you?"
Emily smiled, took the opportunity to drill into his arms, put her arms around his waist and said, "Thank
you, hubby. Thank you for being my backstage."
Franklin curled her lips and gently rubbed her hair.
But after rubbing her twice, she suddenly remembered the reason for calling her over, and her face
darkened, pushing her head away.
"Don't try to flirt with me and change the subject. Continue the conversation."
Emily: ..."
She stood up with her mouth curled and looked down at her feet.
Franklin said, "Go back to where you were just now. I can't scold you like this."
"Why must you scold me?" Emily stood back and said, "I told you it wasn't my fault. Ok, even if it was
my fault, I went to apologize today, but they didn't forgive me. Your mother didn't even want to see me.
What do you want me to do? If you really want to, you should go with me. At least, I won't be shut out."
"So you're still blaming me? Did I not go with you to apologize?" Franklin snorted.
Emily pursed her lips and said, "I didn't mean that. I just wanted to say... You can make me apologize.
But it's impossible for me to succeed. They won't forgive me, and I can't help it!"
"Look at this." Franklin took out a document and threw it in front of her.
Emily picked it up and said, "What is this?"
"Take a look for yourself."
Emily frowned and opened it. He had just read the headline on the front page. It was actually "Emily's
private investigation."
Emily flipped through it, and it was really about her private investigation. The results of the investigation
were even more shocking, saying that Anthony's father had a mental illness, which meant that the
Johnsons had a history of mental illness.
"What is this? Who gave it to you?" Asked Emily.
Franklin said, "You don't have to care who gave it to me. I'll ask you, is this true?"
Emily threw the file on the table and said, "I really don't know about this. It's not like you don't know
what my position in the Johnsons is. How did the family history of the Johnsons let me know that
Anthony would never tell me this. But this is the Johnsons's business. What does it have to do with
me?"
But now those people are using this to jointly tell me that I can't find a wife like you because you have a
potential psychiatric gene in your body. If I had a child with you, I would probably be a psychopath. And
that's because of what you did last night. You couldn't help but go crazy on the spot."
"To put it bluntly, how could they insult someone like that? I haven't even met my grandfather, and I
don't know why he's mentally ill. Why should my drunken behavior be related to mental illness?" Emily
said angrily.
Franklin lowered his eyes and sighed, "Emily, let's break up for now!"
"What do you mean?" Emily asked in a trembling voice.
Franklin said, "They have no right to interfere with what kind of woman I want, but they are responsible
for the next generation of the Brents. I will investigate this thoroughly, but before that, we will separate
for a while. I have someone set up a house for you outside and ask Lisa to take you there after work."
"Are you going to separate from me?" Emily's heart ached and choked.
Franklin lowered his eyes and pursed his lips. After a while, he said slowly, "You go and live there first.
Give me some time to deal with this."
Emily turned around angrily and left. She was really disappointed with Franklin. Because of this
information, he was going to separate from himself.
Franklin watched Emily leave in anger and slammed the door shut with a sigh. Picking up the phone
and calling Lisa, he said slowly, "When you get off work, take Emily to her place and take good care of
her. In addition, let Jason hurry up. I hope it will be settled as soon as possible."
