Chapter 37
"What do you mean by 'unfair'? Do you still want to go to work after you marry me? Does my wife have
to stand in the sales center to sell houses? You're my wife. Franklin Brent's wife. You have to be on call
and you're not allowed to refuse any of my requests. Aren't those your duty? Why don't you take a look
at how much pocket money I'll give you every month? Isn't it much more than your salary?"
Contrary to her yelling at him, Franklin explained to her very calmly.
However, Emily bit her lip and insisted, "But I want to go back to work. I don't want my life to be
affected after I marry you."
The title of Mrs. Brent did not belong to her at all. She would give it up sooner or later. What should she
do by then?
It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it was difficult the other way round.
Only by staying true to herself could she continue her peaceful life after he divorced her. After all, she
didn't have the confidence to remain true to herself and be herself while living a luxurious life.
Of course, Franklin didn't understand these at all.
He only felt that Emily didn't know how to appreciate favors. At first, she had refused him, and then she
had had to agree to marry him because of her mother's medical fee. This whole series of incidents
showed that she did not want to marry him at all and that she was forced to agree at the end.
This thought infuriated him, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
When had he, Franklin, ever been rejected like this? How dare she reject him?
"This is my only request." Emily saw that Franklin was getting more and more upset, so she added
immediately.
Well, she could be on call for him, but continuing to work was her bottom line.
"Why do you have to work?" Franklin asked.
Emily puckered her lips and spoke nothing. Naturally, she could not tell him why.
Franklin stared at her angrily, wishing that he could take her face in his hands and squeeze it so hard
that she would be unable to see him straight.
"Do you agree or not?" Emily asked again in a low voice.
The ending of her tone rose slightly, with a hint of coquetry.
Franklin was startled. He felt as if something had just swept over his heart and it felt itchy.
"Okay, I agree. But you also have to think it through. As my wife, it's not easy for you to continue
working there peacefully."
It was not his fault when the company asked her to leave in the first place.
"That's another issue I want to discuss with you." Emily said immediately, "About the wedding... I want
to cancel it. Let's just get our marriage certificate. With the marriage certificate, we can get a birth
certificate, and we don't have to worry about the child's identification."
"Emily." Franklin roared.
The butler and the servants were all startled. They had already been curious about the fact that their
Mr. Brent had brought a woman back. Now they were even more curious when they heard the growl of
Mr. Brent, who had always been calm.
Who was this woman on earth? What's her relation with Mr. Brent? How could she make the indifferent
and calm Mr. Brent lose his cool like this?
"Why are you yelling? You scared me." Emily patted herself on the chest.
Franklin gritted his teeth and said, "You should be glad that you're pregnant, otherwise..."
"Otherwise?"
"What do you think?" Franklin snorted and suddenly approached her.
Emily was taken aback by his eyes. Now she was also glad that she was pregnant.
"Do you agree or not? If you agree, we'll go to the marriage registry tomorrow." Emily asked again.
Franklin clenched his fists, suppressed the anger, stood up abruptly, and said to Jason, "Send her
back."
"You haven't answered me yet."
"Emily, if you dare to say another word, I will make you regret having come here." Franklin threatened.
Emily was so scared that she shut her mouth instantly. She stared at him in fear and left with Jason.
After getting in the car, Emily asked Jason, "Jason, has Mr. Brent always been so hot-tempered and
unpredictable?"
Jason smiled and said, "Mr. Brent took over the company at the age of 18, and the company got better
and better. Do you think such a man would be hot-tempered and unpredictable?"
Emily thought about it for a while and agreed with him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the richest
man in Lancaster.
But why did she feel that he was so unpredictable to her and that he would lose his temper so easily?
Jason seemed to have found out her confusion and sighed, "Miss Johnson, those who get involved
cannot see so clearly as the outsiders."
"What do you mean by that?" Emily asked curiously.
Jason smiled but said nothing. In fact, he kept silent all the way.
After Emily was sent back home, she called her mother's attending to make sure that her mother was
all right today before she went to bed.
However, she blushed when she saw the marks on her body in the shower.
She thought of what Franklin had done to her in the dressing room...
"Bastard."
Emily cursed and covered her head with the quilt.
The next morning, she went downstairs to go to work. She didn't expect to see a familiar supercar
parked on the side of the road just as she walked to the gate.
Emily frowned and walked by, ignoring it.
The supercar opened. A man got off and ran up to her.
"Emily, let's have a talk," Lucas said eagerly.
Emily stopped, turned around, and shot him a warning glare, "We have nothing to talk about."
"Emily, why are you so cruel to me?"
"Lucas, don't you think what you said is so ridiculous? I was so grateful that you lent me your
membership card last time, but you brought Iris and her two besties over to humiliate me. You did it on
purpose, right?"
She was no fool. She knew it when she saw Iris and her besties that day. Lucas did it on purpose. He
knew Emily was there, but he took the three of them with him. He wanted them to fight. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Of course, she didn't want to know what he would do after the fight.
Lucas' evil intentions disgusted her.
"I admit that I took them there on purpose. I also admit that I wanted them to trouble you. But I just
wanted to help you, to make you like me again."
"Well, I can't thank you enough. But no matter how much I like you, you are my brother-in-law. That
can't be changed."
"Emily, if I divorce Iris, can we get back together?" Lucas asked anxiously.
Emily was stunned by his nonsense, "Of course not. Lucas, let's just end this here. Don't let me look
down on you."
"But I regret it." Lucas said, "I regret having married Iris in such a hurry. I regret not having listened to
your explanation back then. Could you give me another chance?"
"You should call her aunt," Franklin said coldly.
Emily was busy arguing with Lucas that she didn't notice Franklin was here.
Lucas was startled and turned around in horror.
Franklin pulled Emily over, held her jaw, and kissed her.
Emily stared blankly at him with her mouth slightly open, while Lucas froze completely.
