Chapter 312
"What do you mean?” Emily asked
The contents of the document bag shocked her. There were the property certificates of the two houses, as well as the jewelry and deposit materials. And the name on it was not someone else's, but hers. What was more unbelievable was that she was designated as the legal person of a company. Together, these assets should be worth tens of millions.
"These are for you." Daniel said slowly.
"Why give them to me?" Emily asked in confusion.
Daniel said faintly, "You are my only sister, so I give these to you as your dowry. I know the difference between you and Franklin. These are your private properties. You're free to leave them for your child or yourself. With these, you don't need to rely on others.”
"No, I don't want them." Emily immediately threw the bag on the table. Daniel frowned, "Why not?"
He could not think of the reason why she refused, let alone Emily, who grew up poor. Even the young masters of the Brents would be interested in the properties.
"It's not mine. Why would I want it? Thank you for your kindness, but I really can't agree to your previous request, even if you give me these.” Emily said bluntly.
Daniel tugged at the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly, "So you think I gave you these because I wanted you to promise me! You think too much. I want you to agree, but I won't do it this way. Look at the date. I've prepared these for you long ago. You can accept them even if you don't promise me. Of course, you have to agree. But I'm not using this method to blackmail you. I'm using other ways."
Emily frowned.
Daniel took out an envelope and threw it to her.
Emily opened it and took a deep breath. Looking at the photo above, she said angrily, "My mother is with you? What have you done to her?" It was Abigail. The picture of her was taken yesterday. Emily could only see her mom sitting in a chair and looking at the camera in horror. However, Emily could not figure out the place where the picture was taken.
"She's fine there. Don't worry. I didn't do anything to her. She had food, drinks, and people to serve her. She's more comfortable than before. But it depends on whether you're willing to help me, Emily. We're brother and sister. I really don't want to use this method to force you to agree.” Daniel sounded sorry, as if Emily had forced all of this.
She was furious, but she could not hate him. He was her brother, who had just offered her a fortune. Although he used her mother to threaten her now, he also said that her mother was better off with food, drink, and service.
"What if I still refuse?" Emily decided to give it a try.
Daniel lowered his eyes and sighed, "Then I can't do anything to you. After all, you're still my sister. But your mother is not related by blood with me. But don't worry, she's an elder. I won't do anything to her. At most, I'll send her to my mother. After all, my mother has been looking for her for so many years, while your mom has been hiding her whereabouts very well. Since they are old friends, there must be a lot to talk about between them.”
Emily gritted her teeth in anger. Knowing how scared her mother was of Mrs Williams, he was still going to send her mom to Mrs Williams.
If so, her mother would be scared to death.
"Do you agree or not?" Daniel asked again.
Can Emily still disagree? Her own mother was in the hands of others. "Yes, I agree.” Emily stomped her feet in anger.
Daniel smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll treat your mother well. She babysat me for a while when I was a child. Speaking of which, I was quite close to her when I was a child. If it weren't for what happened to her, I might really treat her as a family member. For your sake, I wouldn't have treated her badly."
"Okay, please keep your word.” Emily said.
Daniel nodded, "Of course I keep my word. I'm a honest man.”
"Also, about the wedding..."
"I'll try my best to avoid ending up like that... I'll explain to Franklin,” Daniel said.
Emily pouted and complained in her heart. It was useless for you to explain to him. Even if you explained, how could I bear to see him suffer?
However, she could not say these words to Daniel. She sighed and was about to leave.
However, Daniel stopped her again and said, "You forgot your things." Emily turned around and saw Daniel pass the bag to her. But she shook her head and said, "I don't want these things. I said I would help you, so there's no need to give me these things.”
"As I said, I'm not giving you these because you helped me. I'll give them to you even if you don't help me. Just take them as your dowry, please. If you don't know how to manage a company, you can ask Franklin's people to help you. Anyway, you just need to collect the money." Daniel said.
Emily's eyes turned red as she was deeply touched.
She had also fantasized that her parents would prepare a wedding gift for her when she got married. Even if she didn't want it, they would insist on giving her. Then they would tell her that she could still be financially secure even if she was not happy living with her husband's family.
Unfortunately, since she was a child, she had never been loved by her parents. No one had cared about her future.
Since a brother appeared out of thin air and did something quite within his reach for her, she was still moved.
"Stop crying, or Franklin may think that I'm bullying you. Then it would be even harder for him to agree. Take these and go out! Franklin is still waiting for you." Daniel forced the material bag into her arms.
Emily had no choice but to leave with those things.
Before she could regain her senses after getting into the car, she sighed again with her eyes red.
Franklin frowned at her and asked quickly, "What's wrong? Did he bully you?"
"No, he's kind to me. He'll never bully me.” Emily came back to her senses and said immediately.
"Then why are your eyes red?"
"He gave them to me.” Emily threw the material bag to Franklin. Franklin opened it and took a look. When he saw what was inside, he was slightly moved. These assets were worthwhile, which were at least tens of millions. These jewels were priceless, but Daniel still gave them to Emily. Obviously, Daniel treated Emily well.
But Franklin quickly came to his senses and looked at Emily seriously, "Did you agree to his request?”
Emily shuddered and quickly explained, "I didn't agree because he gave me these things. Yes... He said that he would give them to me even if I didn't agree. I couldn't bear it, so I agreed.”
She didn't say anything about her mother as she was afraid that Franklin would argue with Daniel again.
