Hello, Mr. Brent novel Chapter 60

Franklin leaned back slightly. He put one hand on the table and gently tapped the table with his fingers, making a "thud" sound.

Emily sat up straight at once. Although she didn't get along with him for a long time, she discovered a secret that every time Franklin thought about something, he would tap the table unconsciously. Now, it was clear that he was considering her proposal.

Sure enough.

A moment later, Franklin said, "It's not impossible for me to let him go. Nonetheless, I'm a man who will not leave my work half done. Now you want me to let go of him, you have to make me happy."

Emily's eyes lit up and asked quickly, "How can you be happy?"

"Well..." Franklin looked at her and said faintly, "Why don't we make a deal? I'll let him go and you do something for me."

Emily's mouth twitched. She hadn't asked him to do anything for her. Why should she promise him something when she asked him to let Anthony go?

But thinking of her mother, she agreed, "Tell me! What is it?"

"What can you do to help me? You can only do some trivial things. Besides, you're a disabled person. You can't finish them if I give you difficult tasks. How about this? When you get well, you can work for me as an assistant in my company." Franklin said slowly.

Emily said in surprise, "I'll be your assistant? What about Jason?"

"Do you think you can replace Jason?" Franklin sneered, "I just need someone to run errands for me. What Jason does is important."

Emily pursed her lips, looked at him, and asked doubtfully, "Franklin, do you like me?"

Franklin was stunned, then revealed a sneer and said, "Emily, why are you so confident? How can I like you?"

Emily, "..."

If you didn't like me, why did you marry me, be responsible for me, help me, and take me with you!

Emily complained in her heart and wanted to shout at him. But then she felt that it was disgraceful to say it as if she was begging him to like her.

She bit her lip and snorted, "Humph. You'd better not like me. I won't like you anyway."

"You still like Lucas?" Franklin said in a cold voice.

Emily immediately said, "Of course not. He's not my first love. I have someone I like."

"Who do you like?" Not only did Franklin's voice turn cold, but his expression turned cold.

Emily said stubbornly, "Why should I tell you?"

Then she turned her wheelchair and left the study. Before she left, she glanced at the picture on his desk and guessed who the woman in the middle was.

Franklin was so angry that he trembled all over and wanted to beat her up, who already married him but still liked her first love.

But reason triumphed over impulse. He did not do anything impulsive and embarrassing.

Emily called her mother to tell her that she had made an agreement with Franklin.

Sure enough, Abigail told her the next day that Anthony had come to thank her. His matter was settled. Although he lost his job, he was able to keep his identity and was not sued by the court.

"Mom, don't worry about Anthony anymore." Emily thought about it and said to Abigail.

Abigail said awkwardly after a moment of silence, "I see. I'll try not to trouble you in the future. But he's still your father. You should..."

"Mom, haven't you got over him?" Asked Emily.

Abigail was completely silent and did not speak. After a while, she said a few perfunctory words and hung up the phone.
