Emily turned his head in disbelief and looked shocked when he saw Franklin. Then, with a thousand surprises, she threw herself at him and hugged him tightly and asked, "Why did you suddenly come back? When did you come back?"
"Mr. Brent came back in the morning. As soon as he came back, he went to the company to deal with things. Knowing that I had an appointment with you to eat here, he asked to come with me. Fortunately, he came with me. Otherwise, he wouldn't have encountered such a thing." Lisa stood up and explained, then swept coldly towards Anthony and Elena.
Franklin gently hugged her and patted her on the back.
Then he pulled her apart and asked, "What happened?"
Emily was so angry that her face turned green. She pointed at Anthony and Elena and said, "I don't know. These two crazy people came to me for no reason. It's totally unreasonable."
"Lisa, call the police," Franklin said coldly.
Elena looked at them in a daze and struggled to get up from the ground. He shouted at Anthony, "Anthony, don't you care if someone bullies your wife? You're a useless man. Call the police when you call the police. You touched me, and I have to pay for my injuries."
Lisa sneered and said, "Auntie, are you out of your mind? Do you think this restaurant has no surveillance video? You hurt people first, and we Mr. Brent are just defending ourselves. Do you think the police will believe you, a blatant and inexplicable shrew, or Mr. Brent, who has made countless contributions to Lancaster every year?"
Elena's expression was stiff, and Gandhi didn't look at Anthony.
Anthony gritted his teeth and pulled Elena up, "Let's go. Don't make a fool of yourself here."
"I'm not leaving. Iris is still in the hospital. I can't let her go so easily." Elena cried.
But there was no point in crying. She was not making sense of it. Even without the surveillance video, many people could testify. She was the one who made the first move. Without Franklin, those people might not have had anything to do with it.
But Franklin is here. This is the president of The Brent Group. Who doesn't want to curry favor with him?
Just two people would be able to testify for Emily about how innocent she was.
"Mr. Brent, are you still calling the police?" Lisa asked.
Franklin looked at Emily, and Emily didn't want to make a big deal out of it. He shook his head and said, "Forget it. Even though I was beaten, they suffered a lot. Let's call it even!"
"There's no need to call the police. We'll settle this privately," Franklin said to Lisa.
Lisa understood and immediately nodded with a smile.
Franklin asked her again, "Do you still want to eat?"
Emily shook her head. How could she be in the mood to eat when this happened? He was so angry that he was full. Besides, there was no room for him to stay in this restaurant.
"Then let's go! Tell me what you want to eat. I'll let Lisa buy it." Franklin held her hand.
Emily shook his head and said, "I don't want to eat anything. Let's go back to the company! You must have some unfinished business. I'll wait for you to get off work together."
Franklin nodded, but still asked Lisa to buy some food to bring back.
After returning to Franklin's office, Franklin asked her to sit down and rest. Lisa made her coffee, then gave her food, and hurried to the conference room for a meeting.
