Harry's consolation did not make Emily feel comfortable. He went home at night and called Franklin as usual. Several times, she couldn't help but ask him if she had seen Avery in England.
However, he swallowed the words back, because no matter what he said, there was a suspicion of jealousy.
"Anything else?" Franklin asked.
Emily shook his head and said, "It's okay. It's getting late. I'm going to bed."
"Well, I have an appointment with a friend, and I'm almost there," Franklin said.
Joe Ningdu wanted to blurt out, what friend did you have? But he couldn't say anything, so he had to hang up his phone.
However, she had been tossing and turning all night. She didn't know if she had slept too much during the day or if all these things had piled up and made her unable to sleep.
The next morning, Emily asked Lisa out for lunch.
Jason also went to England. Lisa originally planned to go, but he didn't know why he stayed.
Emily thought that Lisa must be in contact with Jason. She must know some of Jason's itineraries. Maybe she could tell if Franklin had met Avery.
Emily's roundabout questioning was unnecessary, but she didn't know a better way.
Fortunately, Lisa happened to be fine, so he agreed to meet her at the restaurant across from the company. But Lisa was going to be late, so he asked her to wait for her.
Emily chose a seat by the window, ordered the dishes and waited for Lisa to come over.
While waiting, she clicked on her mobile game to pass the time. She was having a good time. Suddenly, someone slapped her on the table and startled her.
"Who is it?" Emily shuddered and looked up unhappily.
It was definitely not Lisa. Lisa would never play such a silly prank.
I didn't expect it to be Lisa, but Elena.
Emily looked at her in shock and said after a while, "Why are you here? Why are you here?"
Elena was a typical housewife who had been away from work for a long time because of Anthony. Usually, she only served her husband and daughter at home, and rarely went out to stroll. It was really surprising that she would appear in such a restaurant.
Elena pointed at her angrily and scolded, "Emily, you little bitch, you still have the face to say it. You shameless thing, you caused my daughter so much harm, I will never let you go today."
He picked up the lemonade in front of Emily and splashed it on Emily's face.
Fortunately, it wasn't hot water. Emily was splashed all over his face. He could not help wiping his eyes. He stood up angrily and scolded, "Elena, you're crazy! I'm going to call the police like this. Don't think that I'm easy to bully just because I keep trying."
"Call the police? You call the police! You think I'm afraid of you, you little bitch. You've ruined my daughter. I'll fight you." Elena was like a wild animal, throwing herself at Emily.
Many people in the restaurant could not help but look around, but no one came forward to help.
Emily was so angry that she pushed Elena away. She didn't expect that after Elena was pushed away, not only did he not calm down, he threw himself at her again.
Emily didn't want to be as knowledgeable as a middle-aged woman like her, but she slapped her twice and got angry. She could not help but grab her hair and slap her face back.
Elena was not as tall as Emily, nor as strong as Emily. The two slaps stunned her.
