Hello, Mr. Brent novel Chapter 54

Franklin glanced at Iris coldly, then looked at Lucas and asked, "Was it the morning of the 24th, Emily?"

Lucas nodded. He would never forget that day.

"Emily, then this is your fault," Franklin turned to Emily and said, "Will I bring shame on you? So you do not even want to introduce me to your friends and family?"

Emily lowered her head in embarrassment.

Mrs. Brent asked, "What do you mean?"

"It means I was the man that day. Otherwise, how do you think we get to know each other?" Franklin said slowly.

"Ah, how could it be you?" Iris exclaimed.

Anthony and Elena went pale as a sheet as well for they couldn't believe it.

Franklin snorted with contempt, "Do you mean I have made a mistake? Are you questioning my intelligence?"

"Of course not. It turned out that you knew each other in this way. That is destiny," Anthony immediately said, winking at his wife and his daughter.

Mrs. Brent snorted, "Supposed she didn't involve with another man that day, then who was the man in the picture?"

"Mother, she just had dinner with her colleague. If I concern myself with things like that, I might as well stay at home to just keep an eye on her around the clock."

"But..."

"If she really cheats on me, do you think I will let go of it? If it is the case, I will throw her and that man into the lake to feed the fish before you come to remind me. But I have to make it clear that someone who dares to slander my girl should prepare to take my punishment," Franklin said coldly and cast a sharp glance at the Johnsons.

The Johnsons including Miss Johnson, Mrs. Johnson, and Iris, trembled with fear and scared into silence with their head down.

However, Mrs. Brent was not going to let it go and dredged the false pregnancy up, "But no matter what, this woman is very scheming. She dared to deceive you to marry her with the false pregnancy. She is so good at calculating. Franklin, you..."

"Well, mother, you have your own wit. Don't be taken advantage of by others," Franklin snorted contemptuously.

Mrs. Brent was stunned and looked awkward after hearing what he said.

But as Franklin said, she was a smart person. Thanks to his hint, she finally got what Franklin meant and immediately stared at Lucas and Iris, and left in anger at last.

As soon as she left, Anthony and his wife, together with Iris, said goodbye to Franklin in a hurry and took a powder.

Lucas was so ashamed that he just wanted to hide somewhere. And he glared at Franklin and Emily with a sinister look in his eyes when he left.

Franklin said to Joyce, who was standing there gawking, "Joyce, right? Hello, I'm Franklin. Thank you for protecting Emily today. Please forgive me for not treating you well today. I'll ask the driver to take you back. We'll invite you to come over again when Emily is better."

"Ha, you're welcome. You're welcome. Emily, I'm leaving first," Joyce said, and then exchanged goodbyes with Emily.

The butler saw Joyce out, and soon there were only the two of them left in the living room.

Franklin turned around and walked towards Emily.

Emily was still thinking about the photo, but she couldn't figure out who it was. And Franklin's coming made her tremble a bit for he just said if she dared to have anything to do with others, he would throw her and that man into the lake and feed them to the fish.

"I don't know anything about that photo. And I did not flirt with any man," explained Emily.
