"Of course not. I'm just a low configuration phone without such advanced functionality." Emily curled
her lips.
"Then why?"
"Because I forwarded it to my email before you deleted it, so even if you did so, I still have a copy."
Emily finally said the reason.
Franklin suddenly realized. Why didn't he expect this?
He thought that it was because there was a function of the phone that could recover the deleted video.
"If you are mad, then just be that! Anyway, it's already like this. I don't regret it." Emily said with her
back straightened.
Franklin chuckled and said faintly, "You also said that it's already like this. In that case, there's no use
for me to be angry. Don't worry, I won't be angry with you. You're right. She owes you. Now you plot
against her once, and you two are even. Thank you for the soup. Who else do you want to retaliate
against next? Tell me first, so that I can be mentally prepared."
"Are you really not angry?" Emily looked at him in disbelief.
Franklin said faintly as he drank the tonic soup she had sent him, "Actually, I've always wanted to deal
with that man of hers, but she's always been protective of him, so I can't be tough on him. Your action
can be considered as blocking all his way out. If she doesn't break up with that man now, she would go
way too far. So to some extent, I need to thank you."
Emily didn't expect Franklin to say that, but she also thought of what Lisa said, which had an impact on
the stock of The Brent Group and people of the The Brent Group forced Mrs. Brent to leave.
Then she asked Franklin, "What about your company? I heard it has an impact on the stock. What
about Mrs. Brent? I heard that the Brent Family forced you to send her abroad."
"Lisa has told you what would happen if she went abroad!" Franklin said.
Emily nodded.
Franklin sighed and went, "If it's not the last resort, I won't take this step either. She has worked hard
for half her life as Mrs. Brent and put everything she has into it. She even didn't hesitate to abandon
her own son and raise me as a substitute. If she left Brent Family's Residence, all her hard work would
be in vain. But what could she do? She had no face to stay in Lancaster after such a thing happened.
She could not stay at home for the rest of her life. People of the Brent Family are forcing her to do this
again, and she won't be able to appear in all kinds of activities of the Brent Family in the future, so it's
better to send her away and live a quiet life abroad."
"But once she leaves, it means..."
"She still has me as her son, and she won't be able to make ends meet in living expenses. Constance
is going to graduate in two years, so she can go and accompany her." Franklin said faintly.
"Constance?" Emily frowned. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Franklin said, "You don't know yet! I have a sister. She's only twenty years old this year and her name
is Constance. Our father sent her abroad to study when she was sixteen."
"So Mrs. Brent..."
"She gave birth to Constance."
Emily's face turned pale and she felt a little regretful.
If Miss Constance knew about her mother's affairs, she would be extremely sad. Emily never knew that
Mrs. Brent even had a daughter.
"You don't have to regret it either. She owes you this and should pay you back." Franklin actually saw
what she was thinking and comforted her.
Emily's nose ached and she felt inexplicably sad.
"Why aren't you angry with me? Why aren't you angry?" She muttered.
Franklin looked at her and put down the bowl of soup in his hand.
After walking to Emily's side, he reached out and hugged her in his arms, "I owe you this too. I won't be
angry with you again in the future. I'll take good care of you in the future."
"Franklin, I will misunderstand if you are so nice." Emily leaned against Franklin's broad chest and
finally couldn't help but cry.
Franklin chuckled and said, "Then just go ahead. I'm just so nice to you."
"But..."
Emily wanted to ask, but what about Avery? They were getting married soon.
But she couldn't ask, at least not now. At this moment, she was just sentimentally attached to his
warmth and just wanted to stop at this moment.
Mrs. Brent sat on the sofa with a pale face. When someone came in, she was immediately stunned and
quickly stood up to look at the door.
When she saw the butler coming, Mrs. Brent sat down dejectedly again. Her eyes turned red again and
tears flowed uncontrollably.
It had been two days, and although there had been a gag order on the Internet during the past two
days, public opinion was still overwhelming. The market value of The Brent Group's stock also fell
again and again. Those people who had respected her at the Brent Family all changed their attitudes.
Although they didn't come to her directly, she knew that they all went to Franklin and forced him to send
her away.
"Madam, you should go and rest!" The butler couldn't stand her decadent look and couldn't help but
persuade her.
Mrs. Brent choked and said, "I'm not in the mood to rest. I don't know what decision Franklin has made.
Will he... Will he send me abroad?"
The butler was also solemn, and it was hard for him to say.
The more Mrs. Brent said, the sadder and angrier she became. But just then, the man who had an
improper relationship with her came.
The maid said anxiously, "Madam, I'm sorry, I can't stop him."
As soon as Mrs. Brent saw him, she was furious. She stood up and strode to him, raising her hand and
slapping him in the face.
"You're shameless to still come to me. Where have you been hiding for the past two days? You
bastard, I was really blind to fall in love with you." Mrs. Brent cursed. Who would have thought that Mrs.
Brent, who had always been elegant, would scold someone like a shrew?
The man was stunned by the slap. When he came to his senses, he knelt down in front of Mrs. Brent
and cried, "I'm sorry, I don't know! I didn't know something like this happened. I went for fun where it
was enclosed. I just came out today. I knew the news as soon as I came out, so I come to see you
immediately."
Mrs. Brent was even angrier when she heard that. What he said was nothing more than gambling. All
the money she had worked so hard to get was lost by this bastard. He came to her as soon as he lost,
but when she was in trouble, she couldn't count on him at all.
"Get out of here. Get out now. I don't want to see you for the rest of my life."
"No, baby, I can't get out. I wanted to take my money back, and I did make a lot at first. But then... I
couldn't help it. I just wanted to make more money so that I could take you away and give you a happy
life. I didn't expect to lose all of it. Not only that, I still owed a lot of money. They said, if I don't pay
back, I'll be chopped up. Save me, save me one more time."
