Probably because of Ariel's words and Brendon's threats, Elaine's mind was thrown into an inexplicable panic.
It's like trying so hard to grab something, but always falling short.
It forced her to step out of the fairy tale world and face the cruel world.
Darnell knew what she was thinking, and said half-heartedly, "I can't answer you now, and I can't sway his decision."
Elaine bit her lip, her eyes a little red.
She knew that she shouldn't discuss these issues with him, but she was really scared.
See the James family that look, should be will spare no effort to deal with Darnell, and her father and they belong to the same camp ......
Elaine never dared to think about how things would turn out in the end, nor did she want to face it.
But she couldn't accept that she had to choose one of the two of them.
But it's like Ariel says, it's not something that won't happen if she doesn't make a choice.
She really doesn't know what to do now.
Darnell raised his hand, wiped away the tears sliding down the corners of her eyes, and whispered, "I promise you that he will always be there for you."
The light reappeared in Elaine's eyes and she threw herself into his arms.
Darnell placed his palm gently on her head and looked quietly into the distance, remembering the conversation he had with Franklin that night.
Franklin said: "I know that the James family is long gone, Elaine grandfather also had the intention to support you, but you should know that what you are doing now, not only change the whole the James family, but also shake the James family survival of the foundation ."
"I know you're doing all this to try to completely excise the rotten rules of THE James family from their roots, except that for the whole of THE James family, the ancestral laws that you presume to change, they won't accept."
"One of the reasons why Carl has come so far and led all of THE James family to fight you is because of the huge money chain behind him, and the other is because, he knows what they want."
"I also know very well that you want more than Riverside City, and when that day comes, they will not be able to compete with you, so they choose to stand against you at this time."
"The end result they want is probably to force you to take a step back, agree to their terms, divide THE James family, and from then on, not to have anything to do with each other. But that's only temporary, and what's more, there's no way you'll agree to it."
"I can help you find out the forces behind Carl, but I only have one request, don't let Elaine get involved in any of this, I want her to be happy and joyful forever, and send her away from Riverside City after I die."
Clearly, Franklin has made up his mind.
When it was over, the James family, Carl, and even the forces behind Carl, would not let him go.
Franklin, on the other hand, had no intention of living.
If he doesn't die, the James family won't let up, and they will only take it out on Elaine.
He didn't want Elaine to be in danger every day for the rest of her life.
......
When Elaine got home, she saw her dad's car parked in the yard and rushed in: "Dad, are you back?"
Franklin sat in the sofa, his expression was hard to hide his tiredness, but still smiled when he saw her: "You're back, you're back, I told you dad was busy, why are you still in a hurry?"
Elaine sat next to him, her mouth puckered, "I was worried about you when I didn't come back all night."
Franklin stroked her head, "What could be wrong with Daddy, worrying all day long."
Saying that, he added, "And where did you come back from this?"
Elaine's eyes glanced away, "I ...... I went to see Natasha at the hospital ......"
Franklin saw through it and patted her shoulder twice: "Okay, I'm going upstairs to rest."
Elaine followed him, wanting to say something.
Franklin turned back, "What else is going on?"
"I ......" Elaine thought about it or said, "I met Brendon when I was at the hospital, Dad, were you trapped there and they wouldn't let you go? "
