Chapter 146
Franklin turned his head and looked at her with deep, cold eyes.
Emily's heart ached so much under his gaze that tears almost burst out of her eyes.
Of course, she wouldn't cry in front of Franklin. Immediately, he shook off Franklin's hand and strode
forward.
The moment she brushed past her, tears finally came out uncontrollably and quickly moistened her
face.
Lisa was shocked to see her and asked in surprise, "Miss Johnson, what's wrong with you? Who
bullied you?"
"Lisa." Emily pounced on her in tears and hugged her tightly.
Lisa was even more surprised. In her eyes, Emily had always been very strong. Even if Franklin was
not worthy of being questioned by everyone, he could stay by Franklin's side and not be afraid of
worldly eyes.
What's wrong with such a strong person today? How can he cry so sadly?
Lisa patted her on the back and comforted her as he asked, but Emily didn't say anything but cry, so
Lisa gave up and hugged her gently to comfort her.
Emily cried for a long time and was so weak that Lisa let her go and helped her sit on the sofa. Then he
poured her a cup of hot water and brought her a hot towel.
"Apply it on your face! Otherwise, your eyes and face will swell up easily. Women, it's better not to cry
so easily. If you're sad, you'll get ugly easily. It's not worth the loss."
"Thank you, Lisa." Emily took the cup and held it in his hand.
Lisa did not continue to persuade her, giving her quiet time to go out.
It took more than half an hour to come back. When he came back, he said to Emily, "I met Jason. He
told me about you and Mr. Brent."
"Do you think Franklin is too much?" Emily asked sobbing.
I just think you're stupid."
Emily: ..."
"You're all Franklin's people, so of course you can speak for him. He's two-timing and cheating, so you
still think he's good, and you don't know right from wrong," Emily said angrily.
Lisa said, "The reason why I said you were stupid is not only because I am Mr. Brent's person, but also
because I know who Mr. Brent is better than you. If Mr. Brent really met Michelle and really had feelings
for Michelle, he would have proposed to divorce you long ago without you seeing him. Do you think that NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
you are a brilliant and beautiful woman, that Mr. Brent can't let go of you while he is emotionally
attached to others? Or do you think that your family background is so profound and powerful that Mr.
Brent can't abandon you."
"I..."
"Neither! From the beginning, your marriage has been looked down upon and criticized by all kinds of
people, but there is only one thing you say, which is that you don't deserve Mr. Brent. If Mr. Brent really
has feelings for others, he can divorce you without any effort. But why do you think he's hiding it from
you and lying to you?"
"How would I know?" Emily said angrily.
Although Lisa was telling the truth, her pride was still badly hurt when she was so straightforward.
"Then let me ask you, who do you think is better between you and Michelle?" Lisa asked again.
Emily pursed his lips and refused to answer. This question was even more damaging to his self-
esteem. Anyone with long eyes could see it.
"That's why I said you were stupid. You didn't even think about such a simple reason. You just got
angry and jealous and didn't think about the reason at all."
"Then tell me why he lied to me. Is it all a lie? I saw it with my own eyes, but it could be an illusion?"
Emily said excitedly.
Lisa said, "I don't know how real what you call seeing with your own eyes is. But I only know that Mr.
Brent doesn't have to lie. If he says no, he won't. And I asked Jason that when you called Mr. Brent,
Jason was right beside them. They came out of The Brents' Residence and were returning to your
place. Mr. Brent said that just to surprise you."
"But I saw..."
"Are you sure that's Mr. Brent?" Lisa asked.
Emily was silent, her mind was a little confused by her words, as if even yesterday's memory had
become blurred.
That man looked like Franklin, but he looked like someone else.
But it was too far away, and the binoculars saw it, and they didn't look very carefully. Now that I think
about it, I actually have some doubts.
"Look, you're not even sure yourself," Lisa said.
Emily said angrily, "It's not that I'm not sure. I'm confused by what you're saying. I won't tell you. I saw it
with my own eyes last night anyway. I believe my own eyes more."
"Well then! Since you insist on being so stubborn, I can't help it. I've already arranged to meet Michelle
today. If you want, you can come with me and find a chance to ask her. If it wasn't Mr. Brent last night,
the truth would be revealed." Lisa shrugged.
"Hmph, will she tell the truth?" Emily doubted.
"Do you think people like Mr. Brent and Michelle would deliberately lie to you to cover up their personal
relationship?"
"Lisa." Emily said angrily, "Don't go too far. I seem to be very bad as you say. Luckily, I still treat you as
a friend. I didn't expect that I was such a worthless person in your heart."
"I don't think so," Lisa argued.
Emily said, "And you don't think so. You talk about people like Mr. Brent on the left and people like
Michelle on the right. Why, in your eyes, only people like them deserve happiness. Only people like
them are the best? Then what am I, not worthless."
"Miss Johnson, I'm telling the truth!" Lisa said speechlessly, "There are many external halos, fame,
wealth, status, power, even appearance, figure. There are also many internal qualities, such as
kindness, optimism, sympathy for the weak, and positive. And I can see these qualities in you, if I
choose, I would choose to be friends with someone like you for the rest of my life. If I were a man, With
my status, I would choose to spend the rest of my life with a woman like you. But when the external
aura is very strong, it is easy to ignore the internal quality. You're fine, but Mr. Brent is better. And
you're not from the same world at all. I'm sure you've covered less than one point in your outlook on life
and the world. Of course, Mr. Brent likes you, so what if everyone doesn't think you deserve it? To you,
his thoughts are the most important."
"He doesn't like me. Although I don't know why he married me, he must like Michelle, or Avery who is
somewhat similar." Emily muttered in an aggrieved whisper.
Lisa shook his head, knowing that there was no use in persuading him, so he asked, "Then go see
Michelle. Will you go?"
"Yes, of course." Emily nodded without hesitation.
