"Mr. Brent doesn't believe it." Lisa smiled bitterly and said, "There's no evidence for such a statement
so how could Mr. Brent believe a one-sided statement? Even if I said it myself, he wouldn't believe it.
Then I asked someone to find you in private, but at that time Mr. Brent was lying in the hospital, and
Jason was also lying in the hospital. It was me who arranged lots of things, so naturally, I wouldn't give
Mr. Brent the results he wanted. And then... Avery asked Andrew to admit his relationship with you.
She also showed Mr. Brent the note you wrote to Andrew to prove that you two had an affair before."
"Andrew? That bastard, why does he always pester me? He won't stop until he gets me killed, will he?"
Emily was so angry that she cursed at Andrew's name.
She had never seen that when a person loved a woman, he always slandered the woman. Could it be
that she had done something wrong in her previous life so that she was liked by a bastard like Andrew
now?
"Mr. Brent has given up the idea of looking for you ever since. He has been down for a long time. Then,
Mrs. Brent forced Mr. Brent and miss Ivy to get engaged. Mr. Brent agreed outwardly but suddenly, he
announced his engagement to Miss Avery in private and took the initiative to be interviewed on TV. He
caught Mrs. Brent off guard and made Mrs. Brent very angry. Almost, Mrs. Brent tried to team up with
the others to promote Alan to the top position."
"But Mr. Brent was already awake at that time, and he almost recovered. It was not easy for Mrs. Brent
to realize her idea then again. When Mr. Brent came out of the hospital, he forcefully took over the
shares taken away by others during his stay in the hospital. He also fired a few old staff from the Brent
Family and promoted a group of newcomers to the company. Mrs. Brent was completely isolated by
him, and she was not allowed to interfere in anything with the Brent Family. Alan was forced to leave
Lancaster and went out of the town. Everything was back on the right path, and he became the
Franklin who could control everything again."
"Did you explain to him about me?" Emily asked anxiously.
Lisa nodded but smiled bitterly, "Although I was afraid that Mr. Brent would be angry, I couldn't bear the
blame of my conscience. With Jason's encouragement, I admitted my mistake to Mr. Brent and told him
the whole story."
"Then Franklin..."
"I thought Mr. Brent would come to see you, but what I didn't expect was that Mr. Brent didn't say
anything after he heard it. He still went to work and got off work every day, and didn't mention if he
would look for you. He just trusted me less than before but he trusted Jason more and handed him a lot
of important things. Actually, I don't care if Mr. Brent trusts me or not. I just feel sorry for him. He's more
silent than before, and he keeps his ideas so secret that others can't figure them out. Sometimes I feel
distressed to see him in a daze."
"Hmph, you feel distressed for what? He's engaged to Avery. I think he's just playing this show on
purpose. I'm afraid that from the beginning to the end, he just focused on Avery. And I was just his
ruse. You were all deceived by him. Mrs. Brent was not satisfied with Avery so he just chose me to
practice for this show. When I left, then he had no trouble so that he could successfully be with Avery."
When Emily heard Lisa's words, she felt a little ache. However, when she thought of how Franklin had
treated her, she couldn't help but say angrily.
If she hadn't thought about these things, she wouldn't have felt angry. But once she thought about
them, the more she thought about them, the more she believed in these things.
Now that Emily was like this, she had said it angrily. But after saying that, she even believed herself.
The more she said it, the angrier she became.
Lisa said quickly, "Impossible. You misunderstood Mr. Brent. Mr. Brent is not this kind of person. He
doesn't love Avery. Even if there was something between them before, he definitely doesn't love her
now. I am sure of that." Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
"You're not him. How can you be sure of this?" Emily snorted coldly.
Lisa answered, "How can't I? If Mr. Brent really loves Avery, how can he be engaged to her for four
years but not get married? Avery is much more anxious about this than Mr. Brent, but Mr. Brent doesn't
say anything about the wedding. If a man really loves a woman, he will give her an explanation about
this!"
"Then maybe... maybe he has other plans," Emily said.
Lisa sighed and said, "Miss Johnson, why don't you realize it? Mr. Brent can't forget you. You've been
away for four years. He hasn't divorced you yet. How can he marry Avery?"
"I don't believe that he loves me." Emily said speechlessly.
Lisa said, "Why don't you believe it? He does love you!"
"Then what's wrong with me? Everyone who likes me wants to get me killed. Andrew almost killed me
with his car and he said he likes me. Does Franklin like me now too by sending me to prison? If that's
the case, I'd rather not be liked by bastards like them. There's no such a way of loving someone." Emily
said angrily.
Lisa was embarrassed because she also felt speechless.
Because she could not figure out Franklin's thoughts or Franklin's motives for doing this.
But if Mr. Brent didn't like Emily, it wouldn't make sense. According to Mr. Brent's temperament, if he
really didn't like Emily anymore, he didn't even want to take a second look at her. How could he bother
to get her here?
"Anyway, Mr. Brent still has feelings for you. I've told you everything I can. What happened that year
was not your fault, nor Mr. Brent's fault. Mr. Brent also suffered a lot. If you see Mr. Brent, apologize to
him. He will definitely forgive you." Lisa said immediately.
"Oh, I apologize to him? You only know how much pain he has suffered in the past four years, but do
you know how much pain I have suffered in the past four years? I don't dare to use my real name, to
participate in any famous activities, to come back to Lancaster. Even... Lisa, four years ago, I didn't
blame you for lying to me for him. But to be fair, he's not the only one who has suffered in the past four
years. I've suffered much more than him." Emily said angrily.
Lisa was silent for a moment. She had never experienced the life of Emily in the past four years, so
naturally, she did not know how much Emily had suffered in the past four years.
But she really had no reason to judge it from Franklin's perspective.
"Then are you going to turn Mr. Brent down?" Lisa asked.
Emily sighed, "It's not that I don't want to accept his love. It's been four years. Can we still be like
before? I have a husband and child now, and he has his fiancee. Lisa, there are some things even if we
explain them clearly, we will never feel relieved about them."
For example, Franklin brought her here as soon as he saw her. Just about this, Emily couldn't let go of
it.
