Chapter 66
Emily didn't care and sat next to Franklin.
It was only after Ivy's introduction that she knew the young man, whose name was Ryan, was the grandson of Franklin's uncle. Therefore, according to seniority, she should call Franklin "Uncle". There were also several juniors, including his nephews and Iris, the wife of his nephew. And this Ryan seemed to be very fond of Ivy, constantly courting her during dinner.
Unfortunately, Ivy ignored him. She only cared about Franklin, keeping asking him what he wanted to eat and talking to him. Even if Franklin didn't respond, she could still smile happily.
"You are so cold. Miss Carter likes you so much.” As a bystander, Emily couldn't help but whisper to Franklin.
Franklin glared at her and put a meatball into her mouth.
Such a big meatball was divided into four portions before eating. Franklin stuffed it all into her mouth. Obviously, she was extremely awkward.
Her mouth was so full that she couldn't even spit it out. Therefore, she could only swallow it with her face flushed.
She couldn't chew it up. So she almost swallowed it, nearly choking to death.
"Have some water!” A young man next to her brought her a glass of water.
Emily quickly picked it up and took a sip. When she could breathe, she said to the young man, "Thank you."
But when she saw what the man looked like, Emily was stunned.
This man looked so much like Franklin, except for his temperament. He was much more gentle and elegant.
Brother? Emily thought to herself.
However, she recalled that Ivy said his name was Ethanfan, which was similar to Ryan's. So he should be Franklin's nephew.
"Emily, your face is so dirty. Clean it up quickly.” Franklin glared at Ethanfan and then said to Emily in disgust.
Emily snorted. Who caused her to get so dirty? If he didn't put the big meatball into her mouth, how could she be like this?
But in front of so many of his juniors, it was not easy for her to refute him. She immediately got up and went to the bathroom.
"I really can't figure out why Franklin married you. You saw how beautiful Miss Carter was and how much she liked Franklin.”
Emily was washing her hands. She didn't expect Iris to also come in, mocking behind her.
Emily ignored her. She stood up, shook her hand, and wanted to leave. Iris anxiously grabbed her arm and snorted, "Emily, don't be complacent. Don't think that with Franklin supporting you, you can think poorly of me. One day you'll be abandoned by him, and he'll be with the right woman.”
"Iris, are you crazy? Even if I was abandoned by him, it's none of your business. I think you'd better pay more attention to Lucas. He doesn't even care about you now!"
Iris's face turned white because Emily spoke of her pain.
Indeed, during this period of time, Lucas became more and more indifferent to her and even proposed to divorce her.
But she refused, and now she was pregnant. Lucas had no choice but to be with her.
But one day, she wouldn't be able to hold on. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger...
Iris's gaze changed and she gritted her teeth. Suddenly she leaned down and bit Emily on the shoulder.
Emily screamed in pain and immediately threw Iris away.
At this time, the others heard the screams and rushed over. All they saw was that Emily pushed Iris to the sink.
Iris's belly hit the corner of the sink. And then she wailed in pain and slid down the sink.
"Ah," Ivy screamed, covering her mouth and pointing at Iris's lower body.
Only then did everyone see that Iris was bleeding.
She was wearing a pair of white shorts today, making the red blood very eye-catching. The blood flowed out of her thighs and quickly spilled all over the floor.
"My child, my child.” Iris cried weakly, clutching her belly.
Lucas also seemed to be frightened and stood there in a daze, not daring to move.
Franklin immediately slapped him and yelled, "Hurry up and take her to the hospital.”
Lucas came to his senses and immediately picked up Iris. Someone had already called the hospital.
Because of this, it was impossible for them to continue to eat. A group of people followed them out, and soon Emily was the only one left in the bathroom.
She stood there in a daze, her mind buzzing.
Franklin came over and put his arms around her shoulder and said gently, "It's okay. No one blames you."
Emily returned to her senses and muttered, "She bit me, so I... I didn't expect her to be pregnant. I really didn't expect that.”
"She bit you?" Franklin's face sank. He immediately rolled up her sleeve and saw a deep row of teeth marks on her arm.
"What if she miscarried?” Emily felt it painful before, but now she didn't feel the pain anymore. All she thought about was Iris, who was bleeding.
Franklin said gloomily, "It's better to miscarry, or I'll have to bear the bad reputation of doing something to a pregnant woman.”
Emily's tears streamed down her face, not noticing Franklin's gloom at all. Then she followed Franklin to the hospital. Iris had been sent to the emergency room
Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Johnson, and Lucas’ parents were there. Even Mrs. Brent was there. Ivy was obediently standing beside Mrs. Brent.
"Emily, I'll kill you. If something happens to Iris, I'll make you pay for it." As soon as Elena saw her, she rushed over and cried out.
Anthony held her in his arms and didn't let her go, but his red eyes were fixed on Emily, full of enmity.
Emily stood timidly beside Franklin. She really didn't expect Iris to get pregnant and the sink to bump into her belly. The thought of Iris bleeding made her feel cold.
Mrs. Wright walked up to Mrs. Brent and said with a great grievance, "Mom, you have to make Emily pay for it. This is Lucas’ first child, but it's gone..."
Mrs. Brent walked towards Emily with a gloomy face, and Ivy followed closely behind her.
Emily pursed her lips and leaned timidly against Franklin.
Franklin glanced at her and stood forward, blocking her behind him, and said to Mrs. Brent, "Mother, tell me what you want to say.”
Mrs. Brent said angrily, "Franklin, are you still protecting her? Look at what she did. She's really evil. She actually attacked her own sister and caused her to miscarry.”
"I didn't know she was pregnant. I..."
"Hmph, you can do it if you don't know she's pregnant? Franklin, this vicious woman can't be in our The Brents.”
"She's my wife. I have the final say on this. What's the truth of this matter? Only when Iris comes out can we know it. I'll take care of this. Mother, it's none of your concern.” Franklin said coldly, obviously defending Emily.
Ivy pursed her lips and quickly stroked Mrs. Brent's back, "Auntie, don't be angry. I think Franklin is right.”
However, Mrs. Brent became even angrier that her face turned white, "You really need to deal with this. You have to give an explanation to the Wrights.”
