Harry looked at Emily in shock. After a while, he muttered, "Miss Johnson, do you know anything?"
Emily forced a smile and shook her head, "I don't know anything. I'm just guessing. It's also a gamble. But I'm not the one who is supposed to uncover this mystery. So I'm glad to see you here. You're the ideal person to do it."
Harry was also a smart man. How could he not understand what she meant?
So he nodded and said, "I see. You're right. I will take the gamble. If I win, I'll be happy forever. If I lose... That's all right. I've already prepared for the worst. It couldn't be worse, could it?"
"Mr. Carters, I'll support you." Emily patted Harry on the shoulder and said seriously.
But Harry wore a bitter smile and said, "In this case, I feel a little sorry for Franklin. Maybe he wants to force you to react."
"I won't do anything. Even if he wants me to react, I won't say anything." Emily said immediately, pursing her lips.
Harry looked at her in astonishment. After a while, he said, "Are all women so arrogant? No matter how much a woman likes a man, she won't say she loves him before he does."
"Well, stop talking about what women do. Just cheer yourself up and think about what you are going to say." Emily cleared her throat softly.
Harry said in surprise, "What do you mean? I'll go next door and find Avery right away!"
Emily snorted and smiled, "If you can see her, why are you here? Who told you I was here?"
"No one. I just knew she was putting on makeup here, so I just..." Harry suddenly understood. No wonder he couldn't go into the next room just now. Perhaps Avery had already guessed that he would come, so she deliberately let those people stop him.
"That's why you only have one chance at the wedding. If you don't seize the day, you won't have another chance," Emily said.
Harry was speechless and his face went as white as a sheet.
He thought he should say this secretly. If he succeeded, then they could just find a reason to cancel the wedding. But now Emily asked him to say he loved Avery in front of so many guests at the wedding. He was not an unknown person. He was the president of the Carters Group. Everyone would be shocked when they heard what he was going to do at the wedding.
Whether he succeeded or not, he would probably become a topic of discussion in Lancaster in the future.
He had always been low-key. If he suddenly became a publicly-discussed figure in Lancaster, he would be uncomfortable.
"Anyway, I've already told you what to do. It's up to you whether you want to do it or not. You just have to remember that you only have one chance." Seeing his hesitation, Emily did not continue to persuade him, but she warned him.
In fact, it was not just him who had the only chance this time. It was the same for her.
She could guess that Avery liked Harry, but Harry was too rigid. He always thought that Avery didn't like him because she had rejected him once before. So he didn't dare to show his love to her again. He didn't even make a move when she got engaged.
The reason why she made this guess was mainly because of her relationship with Franklin. No matter how magnanimous Avery was, she would not be able to stand the fact that her fiancé was living with another woman all day long. Even if she didn't make a scene, she would find the mistress and question her.
But Emily had lived with Franklin for so long, and Avery had never come to see her. She was either really big-hearted or she didn't care.
The only reason she didn't care was that she didn't like Franklin and she was waiting for someone else.
Though Emily could guess what Avery was thinking, she could not understand Franklin's mind.
There was no doubt that Franklin liked Emily a little. However, he still spared no effort to marry Avery. If Harry didn't intervene, would he just leave the mistake uncorrected and get married to Avery? And what did it mean? If he really didn't like Avery, how could he make such a sacrifice?
Emily couldn't figure out what Franklin was thinking, so she didn't dare to act rashly. That's why she hoped that Harry would make a move bravely.
