Franklin sat alone in the corner of the sofa with a glass of red wine in his hand, swaying gently, ignoring the group's talk.
"Mr. Brent, what's your opinion on this matter?" One of them paused and turned to ask Franklin.
Franklin glanced at him and continued to be indifferent, ignoring his questions.
The man rubbed his nose awkwardly and smiled awkwardly, "What's wrong with Mr. Brent today? Why is he not in good spirits?"
"Not yet trapped by love." Harry curled his lips and chuckled.
The others thought Harry was joking, and they all laughed perfunctorily to continue the conversation.
Harry walked over and sat down beside Franklin.
Franklin immediately glared at him and said, "Don't think I don't know. You brought Emily in."
"Yes, I brought her in. But you are too cruel to have her thrown out again. This is very sad for a girl. Be careful that she is really heartbroken and will never come back."
"I'm afraid of her." Franklin snorted coldly.
Harry sighed, "You care about her, so what if you admit it?"
"So you think I care about her, and you think she can force me to change the matter of sending your sister abroad?" Franklin's eyes darkened and he snorted.
Harry said seriously, "That doesn't have to be done by Ivy. Why do you have to rely on her? You know how much she loves you, and you do this..."
"That's why I want to send her abroad and stop her from thinking about it. Let her understand that it's impossible for me to be with her. If I soften my heart to her, it will only make her think that I have feelings for her, and she will never let it go."
"But this is too cruel for her."
"Do you want your sister to suffer for a while or for a lifetime?" Franklin asked.
Harry looked at him and asked, "Does Ivy really not have a chance?"
Franklin shook his head and said firmly, "Even if all the women in the world are dead, I will only treat her as my sister."
"Actually, I'm curious why it's Emily and how she's attracted to you. Or maybe it's not necessarily if she's someone else, as long as it makes Avery..."
"Harry, you talk a lot today," Franklin said unhappily.
Harry shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Every time you talk about Avery, you lose your temper. It really hasn't changed at all. Well, I know, I won't say anything more. But I brought Emily here, so I have to say something more. You are too cold to her, and it will break her heart. If she really wants to divorce you, I'll see where you can find such a good woman. Avery is coming back soon."
Franklin's eyes darkened. After Harry left, he called Jason to ask him about Emily.
Jason stood guard outside the door and said awkwardly, "Mr. Brent, Miss Johnson has been sitting at the door, as if waiting for you to come out."
