The Brent's Residence was magnificent, but Emily was not in the mood to appreciate it. When she entered in, she saw Mrs. Brent sitting on the sofa, squinting at her with a rather arrogant expression.
"Hello, Mrs. Brent." Emily went up to greet her. And since she was not allowed to call her mother-in-law, it was always right to call her Mrs. Brent.
But she didn't expect Mrs. Brent to be so picky. She snorted coldly and said, "Do you think you are qualified to call me Mrs. Brent?"
Emily asked with embarrassment, "Then what should I call you? Hey-yo?"
"Little girl, who are you talking to?" Mrs. Brent was angry. Pointing at her, she scolded.
Emily pursed her lips. She used to run into unreasonable middle-aged women. Her experience told her to bear with it and keep a low profile.
Mrs. Brent was even angrier after seeing that she didn't speak.
She looked up at Emily, who's standing obediently in front of her. She could not hide her contempt in her eyes.
"Sit down! I have something to talk to you about."
"Thank you." Emily sat across from her.
It was uncomfortable to stand there, and her stomach ached.
"Do you know why I asked you to come over today?" Mrs. Brent asked.
Emily shook her head.
Mrs. Brent said coldly, "You heard what I said this morning. To tell you the truth, the reason Franklin marry you is not that he really likes you. He is just angry with me, trying using you to piss me off."
"Why did he do that? What have you done?"
"What are you talking about? I'm his mother," Mrs. Brent shouted.
Emily smirked, "Of course, I know that. You don't have to emphasize it."
"Sure enough, as Susan said, you are different," Mrs. Brent snorted coldly.
Emily thought with a frown, "Who is Susan? How does she know that?"
It took her a while for her to realize that Susan was Lucas' mother, Mrs. Wright! She almost forgot that Lucas had mentioned that his mother's name was Susan.
But Mrs. Wright was nice to her. She didn't expect that Mrs. Wright would stab her in the back, though they ended up not being families.
"I heard you were in love with Lucas before. Why did you suddenly mess with Franklin?" Mrs. Brent asked.
Emily said, "Since Lucas can marry Iris, why can't I fall in love with someone else? It's better for you to ask Franklin about the specific reasons for this."
"If he's willing to tell me, I don't need to ask you."
"Oh, it turns out that he declines to tell you!" Emily realized.
Mrs. Brent was so angry that she gritted her teeth, "Little girl, don't be complacent. Do you think Franklin loves you? He just married a woman who was not as good as Avery because I didn't want him to be with her. He tried to piss me off so I will allow him to date Avery. As soon as I agree, he will divorce you immediately and marry Avery."
"Who is Avery?" Emily asked in surprise.
"That's not your business. Anyway, she's better than you in all aspects, including appearance, shape, educational background, or capability. And they're childhood sweethearts with a deep emotional foundation."
"Then why don't you agree? You'd better say yes," said Emily.
It turned out that Avery was Franklin's childhood sweetheart. Emily was a little jealous as she wondered what kind of woman she was.
