Emily didn't care and sat next to Franklin.
It was only after Ivy's introduction that she knew the young man, whose name was Ryan, was the grandson of Franklin's uncle. Therefore, according to seniority, she should call Franklin "Uncle". There were also several juniors, including his nephews and Iris, the wife of his nephew.
And this Ryan seemed to be very fond of Ivy, constantly courting her during dinner.
Unfortunately, Ivy ignored him. She only cared about Franklin, keeping asking him what he wanted to eat and talking to him. Even if Franklin didn't respond, she could still smile happily.
"You are so cold. Miss Carter likes you so much." As a bystander, Emily couldn't help but whisper to Franklin.
Franklin glared at her and put a meatball into her mouth.
Such a big meatball was divided into four portions before eating. Franklin stuffed it all into her mouth. Obviously, she was extremely awkward.
Her mouth was so full that she couldn't even spit it out. Therefore, she could only swallow it with her face flushed.
She couldn't chew it up. So she almost swallowed it, nearly choking to death.
"Have some water!" A young man next to her brought her a glass of water.
Emily quickly picked it up and took a sip. When she could breathe, she said to the young man, "Thank you."
But when she saw what the man looked like, Emily was stunned.
This man looked so much like Franklin, except for his temperament. He was much more gentle and elegant.
Brother? Emily thought to herself.
However, she recalled that Ivy said his name was Ethanfan, which was similar to Ryan's. So he should be Franklin's nephew.
"Emily, your face is so dirty. Clean it up quickly." Franklin glared at Ethanfan and then said to Emily in disgust.
Emily snorted. Who caused her to get so dirty? If he didn't put the big meatball into her mouth, how could she be like this?
But in front of so many of his juniors, it was not easy for her to refute him. She immediately got up and went to the bathroom.
"I really can't figure out why Franklin married you. You saw how beautiful Miss Carter was and how much she liked Franklin."
Emily was washing her hands. She didn't expect Iris to also come in, mocking behind her.
Emily ignored her. She stood up, shook her hand, and wanted to leave.
Iris anxiously grabbed her arm and snorted, "Emily, don't be complacent. Don't think that with Franklin supporting you, you can think poorly of me. One day you'll be abandoned by him, and he'll be with the right woman."
"Iris, are you crazy? Even if I was abandoned by him, it's none of your business. I think you'd better pay more attention to Lucas. He doesn't even care about you now!"
Iris's face turned white because Emily spoke of her pain.
Indeed, during this period of time, Lucas became more and more indifferent to her and even proposed to divorce her.
But she refused, and now she was pregnant. Lucas had no choice but to be with her.
But one day, she wouldn't be able to hold on. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger...
Iris's gaze changed and she gritted her teeth. Suddenly she leaned down and bit Emily on the shoulder.
Emily screamed in pain and immediately threw Iris away.
At this time, the others heard the screams and rushed over. All they saw was that Emily pushed Iris to the sink.
