Daniel's assistant led Franklin to the reception room and Franklin waited for not very long time before Daniel came in.
When Franklin saw Daniel's face, he couldn't help but be stunned and an incredible look flashed through his eyes.
But he quickly regained his composure and stood up calmly to shake Daniel's hand.
If he hadn't completely believed in Emily's character, and if it weren't for the discrepancy of time, he would have doubted whether Bryce was his son.
Although he had only seen the photos of this man, he clearly felt his son looked like the person in front of him very much. But after he saw him in person, he felt they looked even more similar. No wonder others said Daniel was Bryce's biological father.
"Mr. Brent, what do you want from me?" Daniel was a straightforward person, so he didn't beat around the bush but asked directly.
Franklin also liked to be direct and said with a faint smile, "The Brent Group and Williams Group had no dealings at all. I did come to see you for a purpose. I heard that you have a child with you. That's my son. I'm here to get him back."
"Your son?" Daniel raised his eyebrows.
Franklin showed Bryce's photo to Daniel and said firmly, "Yes, my son. His name is Bryce and his nickname is Bryce."
Daniel chuckled and said jokingly, "But Mr. Brent, I remember your surname is Brent."
Franklin's face stiffened and became very gloomy.
"Yes, so his first name was Brent as in Franklin. Johnson is his mother's surname."
Franklin tried his best to explain patiently. If it was someone else, he wouldn't say another word. He would directly oppress the other party with his power and make them give his son back.
But it was Daniel, a man even Andrew did not dare to fight against, so he had waited long enough to make a move. Even he couldn't be sure he would win if he fought against Daniel.
"So, do you know where the child's mother is?" Daniel asked with a grim face.
Franklin frowned, confused by Daniel's reaction.
He seemed to know Emily very well.
Although he was not happy to be asked about his wife's whereabouts, Franklin still answered in order to get his son back, "Yes, of course, I know. We are legally married."
He deliberately emphasized the word "legally married," thinking that if Daniel had any other thoughts, he should retreat after hearing this. After all, he was also a man of fame and status. How could he do such a shameless thing as coveting someone else's wife?
But Daniel's face turned even gloomier when he heard this. Franklin could see that at that moment, Daniel's eyes were so fierce that he wanted to strangle him immediately.
Franklin was even more confused. Did this Daniel really know Emily?
"Mr. Williams, I'm here today to negotiate with you about my son. If Mr. Williams can give him back to me, I will give you the land in the south of the city." Franklin tried to persuade him with benefits.
Aaron was in charge of all the business activities in the Irvine, but Franklin could still control him. He didn't think it was a good thing for Daniel to keep his son in his hands. The businessman put the interests first, so Daniel did this probably because he knew the child was Franklin's son and had been waiting to get something from Franklin as an exchange.
Franklin didn't want to say anything more about the child to him, so he directly offered the biggest bargaining chip. He thought Daniel must agree to this.
However, Daniel did not even frown. He was expressionless and said coldly, "Mr. Brent is really funny. You want to trade only a piece of land in the south of the city for a child. Even if it's not your own son, he deserves more than this. After all, he is my biological son!"
After saying that, Daniel gave him a sarcastic sneer, then stood up and said to his assistant, "Send Mr. Brent out."
After that, Daniel strode out.
