Chapter 265
Harry looked at Emily in shock. After a while, he muttered, "Miss Johnson, do you know anything?"
Emily forced a smile and shook her head, "I don't know anything. I'm just guessing. It's also a gamble.
But I'm not the one who is supposed to uncover this mystery. So I'm glad to see you here. You're the
ideal person to do it."
Harry was also a smart man. How could he not understand what she meant?
So he nodded and said, "I see. You're right. I will take the gamble. If I win, I'll be happy forever. If I
lose... That's all right. I've already prepared for the worst. It couldn't be worse, could it?"
"Mr. Carters, I'll support you." Emily patted Harry on the shoulder and said seriously.
But Harry wore a bitter smile and said, "In this case, I feel a little sorry for Franklin. Maybe he wants to
force you to react."
"I won't do anything. Even if he wants me to react, I won't say anything." Emily said immediately,
pursing her lips.
Harry looked at her in astonishment. After a while, he said, "Are all women so arrogant? No matter how
much a woman likes a man, she won't say she loves him before he does."
"Well, stop talking about what women do. Just cheer yourself up and think about what you are going to
say." Emily cleared her throat softly.
Harry said in surprise, "What do you mean? I'll go next door and find Avery right away!"
Emily snorted and smiled, "If you can see her, why are you here? Who told you I was here?"
"No one. I just knew she was putting on makeup here, so I just..." Harry suddenly understood. No
wonder he couldn't go into the next room just now. Perhaps Avery had already guessed that he would
come, so she deliberately let those people stop him.
"That's why you only have one chance at the wedding. If you don't seize the day, you won't have
another chance," Emily said.
Harry was speechless and his face went as white as a sheet.
He thought he should say this secretly. If he succeeded, then they could just find a reason to cancel the
wedding. But now Emily asked him to say he loved Avery in front of so many guests at the wedding. He
was not an unknown person. He was the president of the Carters Group. Everyone would be shocked
when they heard what he was going to do at the wedding.
Whether he succeeded or not, he would probably become a topic of discussion in Lancaster in the
future.
He had always been low-key. If he suddenly became a publicly-discussed figure in Lancaster, he would
be uncomfortable.
"Anyway, I've already told you what to do. It's up to you whether you want to do it or not. You just have
to remember that you only have one chance." Seeing his hesitation, Emily did not continue to persuade
him, but she warned him.
In fact, it was not just him who had the only chance this time. It was the same for her.
She could guess that Avery liked Harry, but Harry was too rigid. He always thought that Avery didn't like
him because she had rejected him once before. So he didn't dare to show his love to her again. He
didn't even make a move when she got engaged.
The reason why she made this guess was mainly because of her relationship with Franklin. No matter
how magnanimous Avery was, she would not be able to stand the fact that her fiancé was living with
another woman all day long. Even if she didn't make a scene, she would find the mistress and question
her.
But Emily had lived with Franklin for so long, and Avery had never come to see her. She was either
really big-hearted or she didn't care.
The only reason she didn't care was that she didn't like Franklin and she was waiting for someone else.
Though Emily could guess what Avery was thinking, she could not understand Franklin's mind.
There was no doubt that Franklin liked Emily a little. However, he still spared no effort to marry Avery. If
Harry didn't intervene, would he just leave the mistake uncorrected and get married to Avery? And what
did it mean? If he really didn't like Avery, how could he make such a sacrifice?
Emily couldn't figure out what Franklin was thinking, so she didn't dare to act rashly. That's why she
hoped that Harry would make a move bravely.
After all, she was just selfish and timid.
The wedding soon began. Emily went out in a flashy dress and she happened to encounter Avery.
Emily's wedding dress was cumbersome enough. It was a floor-length dress which had a long train.
There were two flower children holding her dress. It was as if she was the bride, which once again
made her confused.
However, Lisa also said that Franklin wanted the dress to be perfect and magnificent, so that it would
be worthy of Avery's status.
That's why Emily thought that Avery's dress would be more complicated and flashy, and her dress
would be held by four people.
But the moment Emily saw Avery, she was stunned.
Avery was wearing a simple wedding dress. It was shorter than an ankle-length dress.
Her makeup and jewelry were even more plain than those of Emily, the bridesmaid.
"You're not wearing the wrong dress, are you?" Emily asked with a frown.
Avery smiled and said nothing. She walked in first.
She wore a haughty expression and seemed to disdain talking to Emily.
Emily could not help but frown, and anger welled up in her heart. How arrogant? Was Franklin trying to
set off Avery's plainness and generosity with Emily's flashiness? What the hell did Franklin want?
"The bride is here." They went out one after another, and the guests immediately burst into deafening
applause.
Franklin held the wedding banquet in the hotel, but the wedding was held in a venue on the lawn
outside, and a priest was specially invited.
A long red carpet spread from one end to the other. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Franklin was on the other side, wearing a white suit. He was smiling and looking forward to his bride's
arrival.
The moment Emily saw Franklin, her heart fluttered.
But Avery was in front of her. She quickly walked to Franklin and reached out to him.
Emily sighed lightly. She saw the tenderness in Franklin's eyes. But that tenderness was for Avery only.
Did she guess wrong? It turned out they really wanted to get married. However, she was unwilling to
accept the fact and had unrealistic fantasies.
Women were so pathetic.
Clearly, things could not be changed and her affection was completely neglected, but she still kept
trying and refused to give in, hoping for a miracle.
"Mr. Brent, do you..."
"Yes, I do." Franklin said firmly.
Emily's heart ached again. Standing behind, she was as pitiful as a fool.
"Miss Lewis, do you..."
"Yes, I do." Avery also said firmly.
Emily sighed. At this moment, she hoped that Harry would not appear. Even if he showed up, he would
just make a fool of himself. She could make a fool of herself, which would be enough. There was no
need for him to be here.
