When Emily and Lisa arrived at the Brents, they were stopped by the housekeeper of the Brents.
Lisa said with a cold face, "I'm Lisa. Mr. Brent asked me to come."
The housekeeper looked at Emily and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, both of you. Today is the Brents meeting. No outsiders can enter. This is also what Mr. Brent said."
"That's impossible. Mr. Brent called me and asked me to come. He couldn't have let me in," Lisa said.
"Sorry, I really can't let you two in." The butler smiled again but said firmly.
Emily's face sank and she gritted her teeth as she barged in.
But the housekeeper was stopped, and she could not get through.
"Uncle butler, please let me in! Mrs. Brent told me to come and talk to me about something. You won't let me in. Mrs. Brent will be angry later. I can't bear it."
The housekeeper sneered, "Miss Johnson, I know very well if madam asked you to come, so don't tell such a lie."
Emily: ..."
She pursed her lips and looked angrily at the butler and the four big men at the door. Even if she and Lisa wanted to break in, they couldn't! Could she not even take the first step on the long march?
"What's wrong?" Someone inside asked.
Emily's eyes lit up and he recognized someone's voice, "Alan, it's me. I'm Emily."
Alan walked over and the butler bowed to him and said politely, "Alan."
"Why are you here? Are you out of the hospital?" Alan asked, looking at Emily.
Emily nodded fiercely and said, "Well, I'm done. Can you tell the butler uncle to let me in? I really need to go in."
The butler said quickly, "Alan, madam told me not to let anyone in today, especially Miss Johnson."
"Okay, I know. You go first! I'll take care of things here," Alan said.
The butler frowned awkwardly and said, "Alan, madam specially instructed..."
"I know. I'll take care of it myself," Alan said coldly.
The butler sighed at his insistence and waved the bodyguards away.
Emily said happily, "Alan, thank you. Every time it was the most critical time, you showed up to help me. I heard that the last time you insisted on taking someone to the mountains, you saved me."
"I didn't insist on going in at night to look for you, which caused you to have a fever and feel guilty. I wanted to see you at the hospital, but... Mr. Brent disagreed, and I was afraid of causing you unnecessary trouble. Now that you are all right, I can rest assured," Alan said gently.
Lisa coughed softly and said, "Alan, can we go in now?"
Alan frowned and said to Emily, "Emily, it's not that I won't let you in. It's really... It's not good for you to go in now. There's some trouble, so it's better to leave it to Mr. Brent alone."
"Alan." Emily pleaded, "I know you're good for me, and I'm very grateful to you. But when he's alone under the pressure of so many people, I don't know. I can't bear to hide behind him and enjoy the fruits of his victory. Please let me in! No matter what happens, I want to face it with him."
Alan looked at her in a daze. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, "It's good that he has you by his side. He's always been so lucky."
Emily pursed his lips and looked at him more pitifully.
