Chapter 223
"James, James." Emily struggled and shouted when she was pushed out of the door by James.
But no matter how she shouted, James didn't open the door.
Emily had no choice but to call Joy. Though Joy came here, it was useless. So Emily had to go home
first and ask Joy to tell her about what had happened in James' family.
Emily couldn't figure out why James suddenly became like this. His temperament changed so much
that he chased her out for no reason.
"Hey, Joy, what's going on with James?" Emily saw that it was Joy calling and asked without waiting for
her to speak.
Joy choked and said, "Emily, the situation is not good. It seems that the other party not only wants
compensation but also wants cousin's family to go to jail."
"What? How could this be?" Emily said in surprise.
Joy said, "I don't know. My parents found someone they know and hoped to make coordination. But the
other party is very determined and there is no possibility of reconciliation. Now I doubt whether the
whole thing is set up by the other party for my aunt's family. Otherwise, how could it be so
coincidental?"
"Did the James family offend someone before?" Emily asked.
Joy shook her head in silence and said, "No, auntie and her family are all scientists. Although they
have a strange temperament, they shouldn't offend people and make someone want to do this to them.
However, I heard that cousin James had a girlfriend before, but something happened to her later. I
don't know if it has anything to do with that. We haven't seen each other, but I heard that the girl's
family is very powerful. Could it be that they retaliated against my cousin's family?"
"I don't know. James doesn't answer my phone or meet me." Emily frowned.
Joy said, "Sister Emily, don't worry. We'll think of another way. Cousin probably doesn't want to involve
you. When he calms down, he'll meet you."
"Well, Joy, I'm sorry to trouble you. Call me if anything happens. At least let me know what's going on
over there."
Joy agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Emily sighed.
At that time, the doorbell rang and she quickly got up to open the door.
Unexpectedly, there was a man in a black suit standing at the door. He looked like a bodyguard.
Because of Franklin, Emily had a psychological shadow on these people. Subconsciously, she
trembled and wanted to close the door.
However, the man pushed the door with one hand and said expressionlessly, "Are you Miss Johnson?
Hello, our boss wants to see you."
"Who's your boss? I don't know him." Emily said immediately.
The man said, "It's about the matter of Mr. James' family. Our boss didn't reconcile with Mr. An the last
time he met him. He felt that he still had to talk to Mr. James' family and solve the problem. Our boss
didn't want things to get out of hand."
"Is your boss that businessman?" Emily said in surprise.
The man in black nodded.
Emily immediately said, "Wait for me a while. I'll get ready and leave with you right away."
After that, she closed the door, went back to her room, changed her clothes, and went out with a little
makeup.
She was worried about how to help James solve the problem, but she didn't expect that the other party
was so good and actually sent someone to find her.
She didn't know how James talked to that person that day, and what grudges he had with that person,
making things come to such an unmanageable situation. However, when she met that man today, she
should have a good talk with the other party to see whether she could solve this matter peacefully. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
She got into the car of the other party, and they drove her there.
It was still that hotel, and still room 802.
The man took her to the door and said, "Miss Johnson, please!"
Emily nodded and did not doubt him. She pushed the door open and went in.
In fact, if she had been more careful, she would have found out that the other party knew her surname
was Johnson. After all, her surname in Dover was not Johnson, but this person called her Miss
Johnson. There must be something wrong.
But Emily was too nervous to think of this at all.
After entering, she found that it was a suite, which was luxuriously decorated.
But there was no one in the living room. Instead, the sound of water in the bedroom made her frown.
"Is anyone there?" Emily stood in the living room and shouted.
After a while, a voice came from the bedroom and soon a man came out.
Emily was dumbfounded and stared blankly at the person who came out.
The man smiled, walked over, threw the towel on her head, and said, "We haven't met for just a few
days and you actually can't recognize me now. I thought I have already impressed you after that week
when we spent together."
"Franklin, why are you?" Emily pulled the towel off her head and asked angrily.
Franklin said faintly, "Why can't it be me? Do you think anyone can have such a rare shareholder?"
"So... This is exactly what you set up, right? You deliberately set this up to deceive James' father. You
knew he liked antiques, so you seduced him with that vase. Sure enough, he was fooled. After he took
the vase home that day, you sent someone over to destroy it and break it, and then blackmail him.
Franklin, I didn't expect you to do such a thing." Emily suddenly understood that this was indeed a
pitfall.
"I just didn't expect that James would be so kind to you that he was willing to bear everything on his
own and didn't want you to know about it," Franklin said faintly.
Emily gritted her teeth and rushed to Franklin and asked, "Franklin, what do you want to do? Aren't you
going to marry Avery? Why won't you let me go?"
Franklin looked at her and did not speak. After a while, he beckoned at her and said, "Now you have
two choices. One is to follow me back to Lancaster and stay by my side. The other is to watch the
James family go to jail and lose all their fortune because of you."
"Franklin, you bastard." Emily raised her hand in anger and was to hit Franklin in the face.
But Franklin grabbed her wrist and threw it aside, "If you slap me, I can put another accusation on the
The Andersons."
Emily trembled and gritted her teeth as she looked at him with red eyes.
Franklin said faintly, "Emily, you started some things, but you can't end them."
"Okay, I'll go back to Lancaster with you. You let the James family go and drop the charges against
them." Emily's heart instantly fell and she bit her lip with tears in her eyes.
Franklin curled his lips and said slowly, "I missed you so much after not seeing you for a few days. You
know what to do."
Emily gritted her teeth. What was she to him now?
With tears in her eyes, she walked slowly over to Franklin, unbuttoning her clothes as she walked.
