Hello, Mr. Brent novel Chapter 96

"You two... Where did you go? Oh, Emily, what's wrong with you? Why are there so many bruises on your body? Who scratched you?" Mrs. Brent also came over but was surprised after seeing Emily. There was a strange look appeared on her face.

Franklin looked at her coldly and glanced at Alan again. He then asked Jason, "What happened?"

Jason compressed his lips and answered Franklin according to the truth, "We went to the doorway of the attic. The door was suddenly opened, then Miss Johnson and Alan were coming out from inside."

"You went to the attic? But why you sweated all over, like you had done a lot of labor work?" Mrs. Brent said immediately.

At this moment, the butler suddenly said, "When they came out, their clothes were in disarray. Miss Johnson... Even took off her coats."

"What?" Mrs. Brent exclaimed in shock.

Emily walked out almost unconsciously. Her head was so heavy that she even couldn't react when she saw Franklin.

Now she could finally take a breath of fresh air. She was almost suffocated in those three hours, and her brain was oxygen-starved.

It was not easy to keep a clear mind, but when she heard the butler say that, she immediately became fearful and quickly explained to Franklin, "Franklin, listen to me. It's not what you think."

Franklin asked coldly, "Then can you tell me what I'm thinking?"

"I..." Emily didn't know what to say.

Alan stood up and said, "Young master, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Miss Johnson was trapped in the attic warehouse with me because of my mistake. It was very stuffy inside which made Miss Johnson take off her clothes unwillingly."

"Yes, yes. That's right." Emily said immediately.

Mrs. Brent snorted coldly, "Alan, don't lie about it blatantly. You're the person who takes charge of the attic warehouse. You always keep the key with you. Since you have the key, how can you be trapped in it?"

"Yes, I do have the key. But the door of the warehouse was locked from the outside. I couldn't open it from the inside. The door would only open automatically after three hours." Alan said.

Mrs. Brent said, "If you didn't lock it from the inside, there was no possibility for the door being locked from the outside. Did you think that we would believe your explanation which seemed so stupid? Besides, according to you, if you didn't close it yourself, there must be someone else who had locked you in on purpose. But my whole family members had been looking for you for hours and you were nowhere to be found. If someone knew you were inside, why wouldn't he take us here earlier?"

"This may be the ultimate goal of the person who closed the door." Alan said gloomily.

Mrs. Brent sneered, as if she didn't believe Alan's explanation at all.

Emily looked at Franklin anxiously and pitifully. As if she was asking him, "Do you believe what I say?"

Franklin also looked at her, but his eyes were deep.

Emily's head was still heavy from the lack of oxygen for a long time.

She felt a little itchy on her body, so she reached out her hand and scratched herself on the shoulder.

Ivy said hurriedly, "Emily, what's wrong with you? Are you hurt? Did Alan beat you inside the attic? I'll let someone take ointment for you. Alan, even if you're trapped inside the attic, you shouldn't beat Emily!"

Ivy censured Alan again and quickly asked the servants to get the ointment.

Mrs. Brent snorted coldly, "Ivy, you're wrong. But again, you are just a little girl who knows nothing about that. Those bruises didn't come from fighting. You'll know when you have someone in love with."

"Ah, what's that?" Ivy showed an innocent look.

Mrs. Brent glanced at Franklin and said, "Franklin knows very well about that. He knows clearly what's happened."

"Of course not made by fighting." Emily said angrily, "This is clearly mosquito bites. There is no window inside, and I don't know where the mosquito came from. I almost died inside because of biting."
