Franklin turned his head and looked at her with deep, cold eyes.
Emily's heart ached so much under his gaze that tears almost burst out of her eyes.
Of course, she wouldn't cry in front of Franklin. Immediately, he shook off Franklin's hand and strode forward.
The moment she brushed past her, tears finally came out uncontrollably and quickly moistened her face.
Lisa was shocked to see her and asked in surprise, "Miss Johnson, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"
"Lisa." Emily pounced on her in tears and hugged her tightly.
Lisa was even more surprised. In her eyes, Emily had always been very strong. Even if Franklin was not worthy of being questioned by everyone, he could stay by Franklin's side and not be afraid of worldly eyes.
What's wrong with such a strong person today? How can he cry so sadly?
Lisa patted her on the back and comforted her as he asked, but Emily didn't say anything but cry, so Lisa gave up and hugged her gently to comfort her.
Emily cried for a long time and was so weak that Lisa let her go and helped her sit on the sofa. Then he poured her a cup of hot water and brought her a hot towel.
"Apply it on your face! Otherwise, your eyes and face will swell up easily. Women, it's better not to cry so easily. If you're sad, you'll get ugly easily. It's not worth the loss."
"Thank you, Lisa." Emily took the cup and held it in his hand.
Lisa did not continue to persuade her, giving her quiet time to go out.
It took more than half an hour to come back. When he came back, he said to Emily, "I met Jason. He told me about you and Mr. Brent."
"Do you think Franklin is too much?" Emily asked sobbing.
I just think you're stupid."
Emily: ..."
"You're all Franklin's people, so of course you can speak for him. He's two-timing and cheating, so you still think he's good, and you don't know right from wrong," Emily said angrily.
Lisa said, "The reason why I said you were stupid is not only because I am Mr. Brent's person, but also because I know who Mr. Brent is better than you. If Mr. Brent really met Michelle and really had feelings for Michelle, he would have proposed to divorce you long ago without you seeing him. Do you think that you are a brilliant and beautiful woman, that Mr. Brent can't let go of you while he is emotionally attached to others? Or do you think that your family background is so profound and powerful that Mr. Brent can't abandon you."
"I..."
"Neither! From the beginning, your marriage has been looked down upon and criticized by all kinds of people, but there is only one thing you say, which is that you don't deserve Mr. Brent. If Mr. Brent really has feelings for others, he can divorce you without any effort. But why do you think he's hiding it from you and lying to you?"
"How would I know?" Emily said angrily.
