Chapter 97
mily, with a sullen face, asked Dr. Lee to examine her. In fact, one of them was enough to confirm that it was a mosquito bite. But in order to prove her innocence, she still asked Dr. Lee to check several.
"I have a few more on me," said Emily.
Dr. Lee quickly waved his hand and said, "There's no need to check again. I can confirm that it was a mosquito bite. Well, this mosquito is rare, and different mosquitoes can bite different lumps.”
"Now does this prove my innocence?" Emily raised her eyebrows and asked Franklin.
Franklin said to Dr. Lee, "Dr. Lee, please. I will ask Jason to take you back."
"No, no, Mr. Brent, there's no need. I can go back by myself.” Dr. Lee said quickly.
So Dr. Lee left the medicine for the mosquito bites and went out.
As soon as Dr. Lee left, Emily jumped out of bed and rushed to Franklin, "Well, you didn't believe me before! Or you wouldn't have called the doctor.”
Seeing this, Jason and Lisa sensibly hurried away and closed the door for them.
Franklin looked at her coldly and said, "In that case, I chose to believe you and I didn't embarrass you."
"Oh, then I have to thank you?" Emily laughed in anger, but her heart was in agony.
Now she was so sad. The happiness that Franklin's trust brought to her was now totally changed into the sadness that now she experienced. He said that he didn't embarrass her? In fact, he just didn't embarrass himself. And how could he say these words so seriously?
"Why are you alone with Alan?" Franklin questioned.
Emily said, "Why, I don't even have the right to be alone with a man? There are so many women around you, and your secretarial team has more than a dozen beautiful women. Why don't you keep your distance from women first?"
"I have women around because I have a job and I can take care of myself. But what about you? How can you put my mind at ease, being alone with a man for hours, with your clothes off?" Franklin said angrily. He felt uncomfortable at the thought of her spending hours with Alan and longed to take her for a good wash.
Emily flushed with anger and pointed at him, "Franklin, Don't go too far. Why don't you find out who locked us in there on purpose? Why don't you experience for yourself how hot it is to be shut in? I just took my coat off. You can't imagine how hot it was. I was dying from the heat. My head was dizzy and I didn't pay attention to these things."
"Then why did you go in with Alan?"
"I was doing it for the account book, to finish your mother's task?"
"Do you remember that I told you not to have anything to do with Alan in the future? Did you listen to me or not? Don't you want to know who locked you in? I don't think we need to check it at all. It was probably locked by Alan himself."
"Oh, don't vilify him." Emily said angrily, "He is poor enough, but you still slandered him. You are also the descendants of the Brents, you are brothers. Have you ever thought if the person born later is you, you are what he is now?"
"Did he tell you that?" Franklin asked coldly.
Emily, thinking that Franklin might be angry with Alan, explained hurriedly, "Of course not. I heard it from someone else.”
"Heh." Franklin laughed angrily at her. After laughing, his expression became even colder, "You probably don't know! This is taboo in his family, and no one dares to discuss it in private and no one dares to tell you. He may be the only one who would say that. Besides what he told you, you lied to me just to hide it for him, Emily, I'm surprised at you." When Emily was exposed to the lie, she said angrily, "Yes, I lied to you. He did tell me. So what? Isn't it true? Do you know what is the feeling between brothers?"
"I don't know. Since you're so protective of him, go find him and get out of here." Franklin finally got angry, pointing at the door, and roared at Emily.
He had lived as the eldest son and grandson since he was born, and no one had ever touched his bottom line like Emily and no one had ever made him so angry.
Emily was stunned and looked at him with tears in her eyes, as if her heart had been hurt by the sound of him rolling out.
It was a while before she recovered and said, with tears in her eyes, "Okay, I will leave, Franklin. If I leave, I'm not coming back."
With that, Emily rushed to the dresser and stuffed her papers in, then simply packed a few clothes and left.
Franklin was so angry that he was stiff, and he watched Emily leave coldly. The sound of "stomping" came down the stairs as if stepping on his heart, making his heart throb with pain.
Jason and Lisa met Emily downstairs and asked where she was going Emily ignored them and left.
Lisa and Jason looked at each other at a loss. Jason asked Lisa to go after her while he went upstairs to see Franklin.
"Mr. Brent, what's wrong? I saw Miss Johnson leaving in tears. Lisa has already gone after her." Jason whispered.
He stayed with Franklin all the time and witnessed all the experiences of Emily and Franklin. Of course, he knew how important Emily was to Mr. Brent, that was why he sent Lisa after Emily.
That, he thought, would be What Mr. Brent meant.
Unexpectedly, Franklin said in a cold voice, "Call Lisa back and leave her alone.”
"Ah, but..."
"Are my words useless?" Franklin snapped.
Jason said quickly, "Yes, I'll call Lisa right away.”
"Get out! Don't bother me. Just leave me alone.” Franklin added. Nodding, Jason left immediately and called Lisa as he walked.
At this moment, Lisa had stopped Emily and advised Emily, "Miss Johnson, did you quarrel with Mr. Brent? It's not a good idea to run away from home after a quarrel. Running away from home is the biggest taboo in married life.”
"Hmph, run away from home? It was he who told me to go away, do I have to stay there shamelessly?" Emily shouted.
"Ah?" Lisa was stunned. She did not expect that Mr. Brent, who had always been so stable, could even utter the word "get out”, which showed how angry he was.
"Miss Johnson, I don't know how you got into an argument with Mr. Brent. But after all my years with Mr. Brent, I still know him well. He is not a person who can easily lose his mind, but to say such a word to you shows his care for you. As you know, when people are angry, they will inevitably say something insincere, and I'm sure Mr. Brent would never really want you to leave.”
"You..."
Emily was about to contradict when Lisa's cell phone rang.
Lisa took out her cell phone to connect, but Jason said, "Lisa, come back! Mr. Brent said don't stop Miss Johnson and let her go.”
Emily,".."
"Hmph." Emily snorted as Lisa hung up and strode off.
Lisa looked at her awkwardly and wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. Was this the same Mr. Brent she knew? When she came back from abroad, could Mr. Brent changed into another person?
