Franklin didn't participate in the divorce lawsuit. Emily and her mother came out, and the driver waited at the door in his car.
First, she and her mother thanked Mr. Smith, then her old classmate, and then she helped her mother into the car.
She didn't expect that Franklin, who didn't come, would be in the car. Emily was shocked, and Abigail was even more shocked.
"Why are you here? Didn't you say you were busy today?" Emily asked.
Franklin said indifferently, "After everything was settled, I decided to take a look. How's it going? Are you satisfied with the result?"
Emily nodded, her eyes shining, and she said happily, "Yes, of course, I'm very satisfied. I really didn't expect Mr. Smith to be so good. It's really unexpected. You didn't even see how bad that scum Hunter looked when he came out. It was so gratifying."
Franklin looked at her happy face and couldn't help but smile.
Abigail sat awkwardly by the side. It didn't matter if Franklin was still her son-in-law. But the thing was that they were divorced, and Franklin had a fiancee. It made her feel very uncomfortable that they were like this.
But it was hard for her to point it out in front of Franklin. Emily was just grateful to Mr. Smith and didn't think about that.
But she knew that it would not have gone so smoothly without Franklin. Even if they had the ability to hire Mr. Smith, they still had to rely on Franklin for the evidence and other matters.
So she just sat there without saying a word and watched her daughter being silly.
Emily asked the driver to send them to the hotel first, and her mother was still staying at the hotel for the time being.
Although the house was taken back, Abigail did not intend to go back to live in it. It was a sad place, and it would only add to her sadness if she returned.
"Why don't you sell that house? Then you can get a down payment and buy one somewhere else." Emily suggested.
Abigail nodded and said, "Well, that's a good idea. I have thought about that."
"I do have a house available. If auntie doesn't mind, you can stay there for a while. You can always move out there if you find a better choice in the future. It takes time to buy a house." Franklin said.
Abigail said awkwardly, "Mr. Brent, you're so thoughtful. Thank you for your kindness. But... I'll have to discuss this with Emily. You're a busy man, and I don't dare to delay you for too long. Don't mind me if you have something to attend to!"
Franklin chuckled, for it was obvious that she was driving him away!
Emily also noticed it and looked at Franklin uneasily, afraid that he would lose his temper.
She wouldn't worry about it in the past. But ever since he came back, Franklin's temper had changed. If he lost his temper and said something bad to his mother, what would she do then?
Fortunately, Franklin only nodded after chuckling and then really left.
Emily secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not lose his temper.
Abigail looked at her with mixed feelings and said quietly, "Emily, what's going on between you and him?"
Emily pursed her lips and gritted her teeth, "Mom, I didn't want to tell you about this. But now that you mentioned it, I'll explain. I'm only by his side for the time being. But he won't let me go, I have no choice. I was worried about what you would do if I left. After all, you still have Hunter. If Hunter doesn't leave, you definitely can't leave. If Franklin can't find me, he will definitely come after you. Now that you divorce Hunter, I'm relieved. Take this opportunity. Sell that house and live somewhere else! Find out where do you want to go. Take a look first and then settle down, far from Lancaster."
"Do you mean I should leave Lancaster and hide somewhere else?" Abigail said in surprise.
