The man in black looked at Emily and said coldly, "Miss Johnson, you should know Mr. Brent's temper. Don't make things harder than it should be."
Emily trembled, pursed her lips, and said to Joyce and James, "Wait for me here. I'll be right back."
"Emily." James grabbed her arm.
Emily handed Bryce to James and gently comforted James, "Don't worry. I'll be fine. I'll be back soon. Take care of the child."
James saw Emily's determined look, so he reluctantly nodded.
Now they were not allowed to go back. If they didn't finish their business with Franklin, they probably wouldn't be able to go back to Dover any time soon.
Emily followed the man in black out of the station and saw a black business car parked on the side of the road.
The man in black opened the door for her and made an inviting gesture for her to get in the car.
Emily glanced inside. As expected, Franklin was there.
He just didn't pay her any attention. He was expressionless as if she owed him eight million dollars.
Emily bent over and sat down next to the door, keeping a distance from Franklin.
"What do you want from me?" Emily asked.
Franklin remained expressionless and did not say a word, who was like a sculpture.
Emily had no time to quietly sit here with him. James and the others were still waiting for her. If she didn't go back, they would be worried.
"Speak it out if you have something to say. What do you mean by remaining silent like this? I'll leave Lancaster right away. Now you can rest assured! I won't appear in Lancaster ever again. No one will know about our relationship." Emily spoke again and promised him.
She thought that Franklin came to see her just to warn her not to show up in Lancaster again. So instead of waiting for him to say it out, she might as well take the initiative to make such a promise.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Franklin's face finally changed a little, but it was not a happy expression.
"Are you so desperate to leave? So hateful to see me?" Franklin suddenly turned around and pressed Emily into her seat.
Emily looked at him in a daze, unable to react for a moment.
When she came to her senses, she didn't know what to say. She opened her mouth but could not make a sound.
But soon Franklin lowed his head, and without giving her a chance to speak, he kissed her lips forcefully and domineeringly.
"What are you doing?" Emily raised her arm in anger and slapped Franklin in the face.
After that, her chest heaved violently, and her whole body trembled slightly as if the slap had exhausted all her strength.
Franklin's face tilted slightly after being slapped. But his eyes grew darker and he stared at her without saying a word.
Emily took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She looked at Franklin coldly and asked, "What exactly do you want? Just tell me. No one has the time to speculate."
"You forgot, we haven't divorced yet, so we're still legally husband and wife." Franklin finally spoke, but what he said really pissed Emily off.
