Chapter 225
Chapter 225
Emily and James divorced officially. There was little division of property between the two of them.
Anyway, their boundary had always been distinct. Bryce's custody belonged to Emily. James wanted to
give Bryce some compensation, but Emily refused.
Originally, Bryce had nothing to do with him. It was he who had given Bryce a complete family in the
past few years. She was already grateful for it. How could she still want James' compensation?
"In the future, I'll visit him when I have time. After all, he called me dad. I got some feeling," James said
to Emily.
Emily nodded. She hadn't told Franklin about Bryce's natural father. She didn't know if he knew, but she
didn't want to say it anyway. It didn't matter to her anymore that whether he knew it or not.
After separating from James, Emily got into Franklin's car.
Everything here was left to James. She was ready to sell the house.
James suggested her to keep the house in case she came back later.
However, Emily felt that her chances of coming back were very slim. Even if she separated from
Franklin in the future, she would not come back here which would cause trouble for James. It would be
better to sell it and give up that hope. One is finished, all is finished.
"Has everything been settled?" Emily got in the car and Franklin asked faintly.
Emily glared at him and snorted.
Franklin said unhappily, "I'm asking you a question. Answer me honestly."
Emily thought that James' matter had been resolved, and she was no longer afraid of him. She
immediately said angrily, "Why should I answer you honestly? Who do you think you are? I tell you, it's
not impossible for me to stay by your side. But if you want me to be nice to you, no way."
"Emily, do you think that you don't have to be afraid of me once James' business is over!" Franklin said.
Emily was stunned and pursed her lips when he guessed what was important to her.
Franklin sneered, "Have you ever thought that if I can set up a game, I can set up a second game? I
have thousands of ways to deal with people like them. Not only him but also your good friend Joyce.
I've been taking good care of her for the past few years. She can use that store for free. Do you know
the rent in that area? If I present a piece of evidence now, she has to give me all the money she has
earned in the past few years."
"What do you want? You can't do anything to Joyce. She's my best friend." Emily said anxiously.
Franklin suddenly reached out and pinched her chin, "It's none of my business that whether she's your
best friend. You want to leave me and even do this to me. How can you expect me to be nice to your
friend?"
Emily gritted her teeth and glared at him angrily.
Franklin smiled and suddenly leaned over to kiss her lips.
Emily did not dare to move. If he did this to her before he said this, she would definitely bite him and let
him know how powerful she was.
But now she didn't dare to move. It was about Joyce's happiness.
Joyce and Sebastian were normal citizens. Their happy life couldn't be ruined by Franklin.
She didn't expect Franklin to be so powerful before until but James' family had a problem. He could
easily get out any indictment from the prosecutor's office and withdraw the lawsuit at will. He even
threw a vase worth hundreds of millions of dollars. She could not afford to provoke such a person.
"Stay by my side and don't think about leaving." Franklin patted her face with satisfaction and said in a
low voice.
After letting her go, Franklin leaned back in his seat and looked ahead expressionlessly.
Emily pursed her lips and suddenly asked, "You asked me to stay by your side. What about Avery?"
"What about her? There is no conflict between you and her." Franklin said faintly.
"But I heard you're going to marry her."
"What, are you jealous?"
"I am not." Emily immediately retorted, "I just feel like you're going to marry her. How can I stay by your
side?"
"I said no conflict. She's my wife and you're my lover. If you don't want to meet her, I won't let you
meet."
Emily, " ..."
She stared at him with wide eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
"What, is there a problem?" Franklin glanced at her and said faintly.
Emily roared in her heart. Of course, there was a problem. It was a big problem.
If he hadn't threatened her with Joyce just now, she would have slapped him in the face and scratched
his face harshly.
It was so shameless of him to say that. He was going to marry a wife. But at the same time, he made Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
her his lover. What kind of person she was in his eyes?
"Franklin, don't you think you're going too far? You actually made me your mistress. How... How could
you insult me like that?" Emily tried her best to suppress her anger and questioned him. Her eyes
reddened with grievance.
Franklin said faintly, "You don't want to be my wife, but I want to keep you by my side. Naturally, you
only have to be a mistress. Do you feel wronged? But it was you who gave up to be Mrs. Brent and
abandoned it for four years."
"So are you taking revenge on me now?" Emily finally realized that he did it on purpose.
"Not revenge. I just want you to know that people will cherish what you despise."
Emily gritted her teeth and her eyes were reddened with grievance. Tears kept falling.
Franklin glanced at her and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears rudely. As he wiped, he said,
"Your crying face is so ugly. Don't cry."
"Leave me alone. I'll cry if I want to. Do you even have to restrain me from crying?"
"I don't want to restrain you. Your crying face is so ugly. It's too embarrassing to look at," Franklin said.
Emily, " ..."
She glared at him angrily. She hated him so much now.
The driver drove for a while and arrived at a suburb where a helicopter was parked.
Franklin got out of the car and said to Emily, "Get on! You can go back to Lancaster today."
Emily glanced at him and cursed him the evil capitalist in her heart.
No wonder he came to Dover faster than her. It turned out that he had a helicopter!
However, the plane was not big and could only take four people. She went up with Franklin and two
bodyguards. The plane took off very quickly. It didn't take much time to park on the lawn of Franklin's
house.
"Sir. Madam." The butler came up with the servants and greeted them respectfully.
Emily snorted. She was familiar with this place and directly walked in.
But when she went straight upstairs, she was stunned as soon as she opened the door of the room and
looked awkwardly at Avery inside.
Avery was also stunned for a moment. She quickly stood up from the dresser and said in surprise,
"Miss Johnson, why are you here?"
Emily roared in her heart. She also wanted to ask her.
But when she thought about herself and her current status, she still couldn't ask that question. She
could only smile awkwardly and quickly turned around to leave. She didn't expect to bump into
Franklin, who was just coming over.
