Chapter 252
Emily looked at the ceiling in a daze.
She now knew that Mrs. Brent was the one who set her up and that Franklin knew everything about it.
She was the only one who didn't know anything.
She hated Mrs. Brent. She really hated Mrs. Brent.
She had never hated anyone so much. Even if she had been bullied by Anthony and his family in the
past, it was because she had occupied their position. They were afraid that she would steal something
from their family, which was bad for them, so they treated her badly. Based on this, she was angry but
did not hate them.
But Mrs. Brent was different. She had never done anything wrong to Mrs. Brent. Why was Mrs. Brent
so cruel to let her suffer the most unbearable pain that a woman could not endure which made her
become like this today?
But apart from hating her, Emily didn't know what else to do.
Originally, she thought that Franklin didn't know what Mrs. Brent had done, so she still counted on
Franklin, hoping that he could find out his conscience and seek justice for her.
But now, it turned out that he already knew. However, mother and son had deep feelings for each other,
and her, a cannon fodder, could only become a victim.
"Don't be like this. Eat something!" Lisa advised.
The stillness in her eyes was heartbreaking. Even Lisa, who was ruthless and hardhearted, could not
bear it.
"I don't want to eat." Emily shook her head.
Lisa frowned and said after a moment of silence, "I know you're very angry now. What Mrs. Brent did
before was really unkind. But now if you torture yourself, it will only make your kinsfolk hurt and
enemies happy. Mrs. Brent will only feel happy when she knows about this."
"Ah. Get kinsfolk hurt and make the enemy happy. Who is the kinfolk, and who is the enemy?" Emily
sneered.
"I know you're angry with Mr. Brent too. You think that he knows the truth but doesn't seek justice for
you. He knows the truth and... But who knows the pain in Mr. Brent's heart? He is such a proud person
but he begged Mrs. Brent so that he could find you. He is such a low-key person. But he didn't hesitate
to appear in public in order to let you know that he is fine. But you didn't run according to the route I Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
arranged in advance. No one knew where you ran to, and then there was no news of you. You didn't
know how many times Mr. Brent had asked me with a dead heart that whether you were no longer in
this world. That Mr. Brent was really heartbreaking. Not to mention Mr. Brent, even Jason and I were
angry with you at that time. Knowing that Mr. Brent was fine, why didn't you come back and why did
you still hide outside?"
"So is it all my fault?" Emily sneered.
Lisa shook her head and said, "Of course, I know it's not your fault. I can only say that the god of
destiny makes fools of the people. Of course, it can also be said that someone causes all of these and
Mrs. Brent is definitely the culprit. So if I were you, I would definitely take revenge instead of lying here
and feeling sorry for myself. Could it be that crying and being sad could make you take revenge and
find the child?"
"Then tell me what to do," Emily snorted and said, "I was hoping that Franklin didn't know about this
before. And I thought that he would seek justice for me when he knew about it. But it proved that he
already knew about it, but he did nothing. What could I do?"
"I never think that one has to rely on anyone else to get justice back. Maybe I am in a different situation
from Miss Johnson. I know I have to rely on myself since I was a child," Lisa said.
Emily blushed when she heard Lisa's words. Then she smiled bitterly and said, "I have to rely on
myself since I was a child too."
"In that case, why do you want Mr. Brent to seek justice for you? Can't you do it yourself?"
"Myself?"
"What is the thing that Mrs. Brent fears most?" Lisa asked.
Emily was stunned. She was not a stupid person. How could she not know when Lisa reminded her like
this?
But in that case, what would happen between her and Franklin...
"Lisa, are you busy these days?" Emily suddenly asked.
Lisa nodded, "Yes, Jason is in charge of searching for the young master. So I have to do other things.
And the wedding is near especially and many things are not ready yet."
"Franklin and Avery's wedding! In that case, why must he let me stay by his side?" Emily said bitterly.
This was the last thing she could figure out. If Franklin really had no feelings for her, why would he let
her stay with him? If he had feelings for her, how could he let her be the bridesmaid and watch him get
married?
If she really wanted to revenge on Mrs. Brent, then how could she use Franklin?
So she couldn't figure it out. Even if she had an idea about how to retaliate against Mrs. Brent, there
was nothing she could do without Franklin's help.
"I don't know. Actually, I also don't understand why Mr. Brent wants to marry Miss Lewis. To be honest,
I don't see that they are very intimate. They don't even contact each other usually. You've been living
with Mr. Brent all this time. How can you not know about this? If Mr. Brent really wants more than you,
he won't have asked me to come over to take care of you almost every day."
Emily, "..."
She pursed her lips awkwardly. What Lisa said was not unreasonable.
Ever since she came back, she had been with Franklin. Although there was no guarantee that
Franklin's body was with her every day, the situation was also very close to that. After all, the two of
them had been married before, and Franklin was not a lustful person.
But every time in this period of time, he would not stop until he had had sex with her several times. If he
still had the ability to find and have sex with Avery, then she had to say that he was really 'capable'.
But if he didn't have feelings for Avery, why did he want to marry her? Emily couldn't figure it out.
Or was it that Franklin respected Avery and wanted to have their great sex life until they got married, so
he vented his desire on her before marriage?
"You must not think that Mr. Brent doesn't do anything out of respect for Avery. Do you still think that we
are in a feudal society, and women should pay attention to reputation? If they really had feelings for
each other, they would have had a lot of sex. Who would care about those illusory things?"
"But please don't ask me. I don't know what Mr. Brent thinks either. But if you want to know, it's actually
very convenient. If a man loves a woman, then he can make an unconditional compromise. You might
as well try it." Lisa blinked at Emily.
Emily frowned doubtfully, but soon she understood.
"But if it doesn't work, I will ask for a snub."
"My Miss Johnson, what time is it now? You want to revenge, and you don't want to condescend and
lower your status. You can just continue to be like this with Mr. Brent! If you really annoy Mr. Brent, he
won't let you go and you won't be able to look for the child." Lisa said speechlessly.
Emily's thoughts swung slightly at Lisa's words. She pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "I see,
Lisa. Thank you for persuading me."
Lisa saw that it was as if Emily had taken her words into the heart. She could not help but heaved a
sigh of relief, "I'm also atoning for myself. Of course, if it weren't for me..."
"Don't say that. I know you had no other choice back then. If I were you, I would have made the same
choice as you." Emily said with a bitter smile.
