Chapter 32
Iris didn't even know how she got home. The crowd looked at her with mock contempt, making her feel
like a million arrows had pierced her heart. What made her even sad was Lucas' attitude. Instead of
comforting her, he complained to her on the way home.
It was just that she didn't have a good relationship with Emily and didn't know about the relationship
between Emily and Franklin.
Iris gritted her teeth in anger and muttered in her heart, "you don't even know, why do you think I
should know?"
When she got home, she went upstairs to take a shower and change her clothes, ignoring her mother-
in-law's surprising eyes.
When she went downstairs, she saw the three people of The Wrights sitting together, looking worried.
"Why? Are you all afraid of Emily taking revenge on you?" Iris snorted sarcastically.
In the past, she thought The Wrights was very powerful. Only after she got married did she realize that
it was just a paper tiger. The Wrights was dependent on the Brents for survival, without the Brents, The
Wrights was nothing.
"Apologize to Emily immediately and ask her for forgiveness," Lucas demanded.
Iris was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wanted to rush up and fight with Lucas. How could he
ask her to apologize to Emily?
But Iris didn't expect that not only did Lucas say that, even Mr. and Mrs. Wright said, "We also think you
should apologize to your sister. Franklin is a man who never wants to see his beloved ones being
bullied by others, so don't drag us into it if you annoy him."
"Do you think I can solve this by making an apology?" Iris held back her anger and snorted, "The
grudge between us was formed when Lucas and I got married. We don't have to be afraid of Emily.
Ultimately, it was because Franklin was there to help her. Without Franklin, we don't have to be afraid
of her at all."
"But Franklin..."
"Mr. Brent is a man of wealth and power, while Emily is just an ordinary woman. The Brent family would
not accept her. I heard that Mrs. Brent is a powerful woman, and she has placed great expectations on
Mr. Brent." Iris interrupted Mrs. Wright.
Mrs. Wright thought for a moment, then came to her senses, pursed her lips, and said, "I see. I'm going
to meet my mother."
Iris smiled. And she didn't simply believe that Emily could succeed in marrying Franklin without Mrs.
Brent's approval.
Emily transferred all the money into the hospital. Although her mother was awake for a short period of
time, fortunately, her mother was able to recognize Emily after Emily had told her mother who she was.
The follow-up treatment fee was a little troublesome. Emily was worried about how to contact Franklin
again to discuss the unsolved problems last time.
Emily didn't expect to see a strange man in a black suit standing in front of her house.
"Ah."
Emily was startled and looked at the man warily.
The man bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Are you Emily Johnson?"
"Yes, I am. Who are you?"
"Miss Johnson, I am a servant of the Brents. Our master would like to invite you over and follow me,
please."
"From the Brents?" Emily frowned.
Subconsciously, she thought that this person was sent by Franklin.
Thinking that she was just looking for Franklin, she was relieved and immediately took out her cell
phone to call Joyce. After Emily asked Joyce to ask for leave for her, she got into the car with this man.
The car drove all the way out of the city and then onto the highway, driving for a long time before
stopping in front of a large mansion facing the mountains and water.
Looking at the extraordinary mansion, Emily opened her mouth in surprise. Was this the Brents?
"Miss Johnson, please." The man made an inviting gesture and let Emily in.
Emily regained her senses and quickly followed the man in. It took a long time to get to a side hall.
"Sit here and wait for a while. Madam will be here soon." The man led her here and left.
Emily did not react for a moment. When she did, she exclaimed, "Madam? Really?"
But the man had already left, and there was no one in the empty living room, so she did not even know
who to ask.
Fortunately, someone came soon.
At the head of the group was an elegant and graceful woman in her early forties, with a very graceful
figure. She was the kind of woman who was stunning to look at. Moreover, she looked a bit familiar.
For some reason, Emily was a little timid at the sight of her and hastened to stand up straight in a
formal manner.
When the woman came in, she looked at Emily and said faintly, "You must be Emily!"
Emily nodded, but looked at the elegant madam bewilderedly and asked, "May I ask who you are.."
"I'm Mrs. Brent."
"Ah? Franklin's wife?" Emily was horrified.
She thought Franklin wasn't married. Why would a wife come out?
Mrs. Brent's face darkened and she frowned, "You're not intellectually challenged, are you? How could Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Franklin fall for a woman like you? Is the news right? Why does my son have such poor taste in
women?"
"Are you Franklin's mother?" Emily was even more surprised and said, "But you look very young! You
look like his sister."
Mrs. Brent covered her mouth and smiled, seemingly pleased by this girl.
"You don't look smart or pretty, but you're a good talker. Is it because you can say sweet things so that
Franklin likes you?" Mrs. Brent said with a smile.
Any woman, especially at her age, who was praised for being young, was always satisfied.
Emily smiled awkwardly. It was not that she could talk, but that Mrs. Brent looked more like Franklin's
sister!
Emily was confused because she had met Lucas' mother, the second Miss Brent, who looked definitely
not younger than Mrs. Brent. There was no reason in the world for a mother to be younger than her
daughter.
"Do you know what I asked you to do today?" Mrs. Brent smiled and became serious again.
Emily shook her head.
Mrs. Brent snorted and said, "I heard that Franklin really likes you and cares about you. Right?"
"I don't think so. It's just that by some coincidence ... something coincidental happened."
"Humph, I don't care about coincidences or not. A man like Franklin will definitely marry a woman who
is talented, beautiful, generous and from a superior family, not someone like you."
"I know, and I don't want to keep pestering him. I'm pregnant and my mother desperately needs a batch
of money to cure her illness. As long as he is willing to raise the child and cure my mother's illness, I
am willing to marry him." Emily stated her reasons.
"What? Are you pregnant?" Mrs. Brent stood up abruptly, and her calm and elegant appearance was
gone.
Emily nodded and whispered, "I just want a sum of money to treat my mother. I'm not greedy."
"Call Franklin right away and tell him to hurry back." Mrs. Brent yelled hysterically at the servant, her
emotions stirring.
