Chapter 286
Chapter 286
Daniel's assistant led Franklin to the reception room and Franklin waited for not very long time before
Daniel came in.
When Franklin saw Daniel's face, he couldn't help but be stunned and an incredible look flashed
through his eyes.
But he quickly regained his composure and stood up calmly to shake Daniel's hand.
If he hadn't completely believed in Emily's character, and if it weren't for the discrepancy of time, he
would have doubted whether Bryce was his son.
Although he had only seen the photos of this man, he clearly felt his son looked like the person in front
of him very much. But after he saw him in person, he felt they looked even more similar. No wonder
others said Daniel was Bryce's biological father.
"Mr. Brent, what do you want from me?" Daniel was a straightforward person, so he didn't beat around
the bush but asked directly.
Franklin also liked to be direct and said with a faint smile, "The Brent Group and Williams Group had no
dealings at all. I did come to see you for a purpose. I heard that you have a child with you. That's my
son. I'm here to get him back."
"Your son?" Daniel raised his eyebrows.
Franklin showed Bryce's photo to Daniel and said firmly, "Yes, my son. His name is Bryce and his
nickname is Bryce."
Daniel chuckled and said jokingly, "But Mr. Brent, I remember your surname is Brent."
Franklin's face stiffened and became very gloomy.
"Yes, so his first name was Brent as in Franklin. Johnson is his mother's surname."
Franklin tried his best to explain patiently. If it was someone else, he wouldn't say another word. He
would directly oppress the other party with his power and make them give his son back.
But it was Daniel, a man even Andrew did not dare to fight against, so he had waited long enough to
make a move. Even he couldn't be sure he would win if he fought against Daniel.
"So, do you know where the child's mother is?" Daniel asked with a grim face.
Franklin frowned, confused by Daniel's reaction.
He seemed to know Emily very well.
Although he was not happy to be asked about his wife's whereabouts, Franklin still answered in order
to get his son back, "Yes, of course, I know. We are legally married."
He deliberately emphasized the word "legally married," thinking that if Daniel had any other thoughts,
he should retreat after hearing this. After all, he was also a man of fame and status. How could he do
such a shameless thing as coveting someone else's wife?
But Daniel's face turned even gloomier when he heard this. Franklin could see that at that moment,
Daniel's eyes were so fierce that he wanted to strangle him immediately.
Franklin was even more confused. Did this Daniel really know Emily?
"Mr. Williams, I'm here today to negotiate with you about my son. If Mr. Williams can give him back to
me, I will give you the land in the south of the city." Franklin tried to persuade him with benefits.
Aaron was in charge of all the business activities in the Irvine, but Franklin could still control him. He
didn't think it was a good thing for Daniel to keep his son in his hands. The businessman put the
interests first, so Daniel did this probably because he knew the child was Franklin's son and had been
waiting to get something from Franklin as an exchange.
Franklin didn't want to say anything more about the child to him, so he directly offered the biggest
bargaining chip. He thought Daniel must agree to this.
However, Daniel did not even frown. He was expressionless and said coldly, "Mr. Brent is really funny.
You want to trade only a piece of land in the south of the city for a child. Even if it's not your own son,
he deserves more than this. After all, he is my biological son!"
After saying that, Daniel gave him a sarcastic sneer, then stood up and said to his assistant, "Send Mr.
Brent out."
After that, Daniel strode out.
Franklin was completely stunned.
What? His son? Was he kidding? When did Bryce become his son?
Daniel's assistant said to Franklin, "Mr. Brent, please!"
Franklin stood up abruptly and looked coldly at Daniel's assistant, "What did Daniel say just now?"
Daniel's assistant smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Brent, you should have heard it all! Why bother
asking me? Actually, there's one thing I don't know whether to tell you or not."
"If you don't know, then don't say it." Franklin said coldly.
Subconsciously, he felt that what the man wanted to say must be something bad. He was the assistant
of that man who would take other's son, so he was definitely not a good man.
Unfortunately, this man was Daniel's assistant, not Franklin's, so he didn't listen to Franklin at all.
Although the assistant was told not to say it, he still smiled faintly and said, "Although Mr. Brent doesn't
want to hear it, I still have to tell you. Mr. Williams treats that child very well and values him very much.
Mr. Brent, you are a man of such a high profile. Why do you have to take someone else's son? If others
know about this, it would discredit the Brent Family." NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Franklin, "..."
He was so angry that his face turned extremely grim. It was Daniel, the shameless one, who refused to
give his son back. How did he turn out to be the one who wanted to take Daniel's son?
Was Daniel convinced that the child was his just because they looked alike?
He got be kidding. There were so many people who looked alike in this world. Did he think those who
looked like him were all his son?
"Mr. Brent, don't be unhappy. Mr. Williams has already done a paternity test. Unlike you, Mr. Williams
never says anything without foundation." Daniel's assistant said with a smile, provoking Franklin once
more.
Franklin didn't even know how he got out of the Williams Group. Jason who had come with him was
refused entry earlier this day.
Seeing Franklin coming out, he quickly went up to him and asked, "Mr. Brent, how's it going?"
Franklin looked at him with a gloomy face and said nothing. After getting into the car, he said to Jason
coldly, "Go home."
Jason knew that Franklin had failed to reach an agreement when he saw his expression, but he
couldn't figure it out. Daniel was not a child trafficker. The boy's parents had already come to him, but
he still refused to give him back.
Could it be that he wanted to use the child as a threat to get the best benefit?
However, it was said that the members of the Williams Family were decent businessmen and would not
do such shameless things. Was he not afraid that Mr. Brent would call the police and sully the
reputation of their Williams Group?
Jason kept asking these questions in his mind, but he didn't dare to say them out.
Finally, he drove to the place where Franklin lived in the Irvine. As soon as Jason parked his car,
Franklin got out of the car.
When Jason caught up, he saw Franklin go upstairs and ordered, "No one is allowed to come up."
Jason had no choice but to stop and ask Lisa, who was also here, what was going on.
But after turning around, he was surprised to see not only Lisa, but also the man beside her.
Of course, Jason knew this man. This was Matthew, the young master of the Brent Family. He had
cleared up many messy situations for this young master before. He didn't know he was here.
But Jason didn't think much. After all, Aaron was in the Irvine, and this was his domain. He didn't come
by himself, so it was reasonable for him to ask his son to entertain Franklin.
