"Wait, what did you say?" Emily said immediately.
Harry looked at her in surprise.
Emily immediately said anxiously, "What do you mean by harming Alan? What's wrong with Alan?"
"You don't know?" Harry looked at her surprisingly.
Emily said, "What do I know? I was taken away from the villa that day by Franklin. I have no idea what
happened to Alan."
"But why did you quarrel with Franklin? I thought it was because of Alan," Harry said.
Emily shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with Alan. No, it has something to do with him, but
it doesn't matter much. Anyway, we had a quarrel. Tell me what happened to Alan first. What's wrong
with him?"
"Alas." Harry sighed and said, "Alan's situation in the Brents is already very awkward, and Franklin has
never liked him. Now he had the affair with you, so Franklin is even more dissatisfied with him. He
worked for Franklin's sister to live a life before, but the matter was so severe that his eldest sister fired
him in a fit of anger and refused to let him go back. Anyway, he was already an adult and it was a great
kindness of Franklin's sister to raise him up. Now no one else dared to contact him anymore, and
Franklin even made him kneel at the entrance of The Brents' ancestral hall. He had been kneeling for
half a day."
"What? That's too much. How can he treat him like that?" Said Emily angrily.
Harry said, "This is a family matter of the Brents. You'd better not to step in. In fact, it's his fault. He
shouldn't have been so close to you."
"Is that why he's going to be treated unfairly? No, I'm going to Franklin. I'm going to reason with him."
Emily got up angrily.
Harry said quickly, "Miss Johnson, calm down. If you go to Franklin now, you cannot help Alan at all but
make Franklin even angrier. Thinking that you are against the world for Alan, he will be even angrier. I
really shouldn't have told you this. I thought it was because you knew about it that you quarreled with
Franklin and left home."
Outside, there was a sudden "Boom" sound. It was the thunder.
The weather was supposed to be fine, but it suddenly rained.
The raindrops fell. In the room called "Rain Listening Pavilion," they could hear the rain very clearly.
But Emily was not in the mood to appreciate it at all. Once she thought that Alan was still kneeling
outside, the rain made her more upset. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Why is it so unfair?" Emily said sadly.
Harry was silent, and he didn't know what to say to Emily. After a while, he sighed and said, "I don't
know how to explain it to you. You probably don't know how important you are to Franklin. Because of
you, he's not only angry at Alan, but also angry at Ivy even if Ivy never admitted that she had anything
to do with it. He called me today and told me to send Ivy abroad and forbade her to stay at home."
"Is that why you want to treat me to dinner?" Emily finally understood why Harry was so attentive to her.
So, it was all for Ivy! He wanted her to go to Franklin and plead for Ivy to stay.
But she didn't understand.
"Since you and Franklin are friends and have no conflict of interest, why are you afraid of him? He asks
you to send your sister away, but why do you have to do that? Why do you listen to him?"
"We are best friends, so there are a lot of secrets that we don't want outsiders to know about each
other. This time Ivy crossed his line, and I can understand why he was angry. But he doesn't listen to
me now. It is better for the doer to undo what he has done. I'm afraid only Miss Johnson can resolve
the conflict."
"Then you may turn to the wrong person." Emily said, "I can't help anything. He told me to get lost and
didn't want to see me anymore. What else can I do?" Emily sneered.
Harry said, "Tough love. It's the first time I've heard him tell someone to get lost. No matter how angry
he used to be, he wouldn't say such a word. It shows how important you are to him that you can make
him lose his mind."
"You really think highly of me." Emily snorted.
"Even if it's not for Ivy, you should go to Franklin because Alan's fate is in your hands. Can you bear to
watch Alan suffer this kind of unfair disaster?" Harry said.
Emily bit her lip. She really didn't want to help Ivy. Although there was no direct evidence that she was
the one who played the trick, she was definitely to blame.
But Alan...
"He probably won't even see me now. Will my words work?" Emily was not self-assured.
Harry immediately said, "Don't worry about that, Miss Johnson. There's an event tonight that Franklin
will definitely attend. I'll bring you in and give you a chance to meet him. As long as you put down your
pride and say a few nice words to Franklin, I don't think Franklin will refuse you."
"It seems that Mr. Carter has arranged everything. What else can I say?" Emily muttered.
Harry said, "Miss Johnson, thank you for your kindness. If you need me in the future, I will do my best."
"If Alan is fine, can I ask you to give him a job?" Emily thought of what happened to Alan and was very
sympathetic, so she immediately asked Harry.
Harry shook his head, "If you want me to give him a job, you might as well ask Franklin to forgive him.
Without the forgiveness of the Brents, he can't survive in Lancaster."
"I see." Emily pursed her lips.
After dinner, Harry asked his assistant to prepare another set of clothes for Emily and had her put on
light makeup.
Harry thought that a beautiful appearance was also the magic weapon to win the negotiation, but Emily
scorned to do it.
Even if she had good looks, she didn't want to treat Franklin kindly.
On the way there, Harry looked at Emily's cold face and repeatedly urged, "Miss Johnson, you can't
look like this when you see Franklin. Be gentle and happy, or you can't have a pleasant chat."
"I see, Mr. Carter. I didn't know you were a nagging person." Emily glared at him.
Harry smiled bitterly and realized that he was a little verbose. But when he saw Emily's expression, he
couldn't stop nagging!
"Harry, who is she?" An old friend was surprised to see that Harry took Emily in and he asked.
Harry said, "This is Mrs. Brent, Franklin's wife. We just met and came together. Franklin hasn't come
yet! Let's go in first."
"Oh, it's Mrs. Brent. When did Mr. Brent get married? I don't know," the man said in surprise.
Harry smiled and said, "It's a long story. I'll tell you later. Let's go in first."
As he spoke, he warmly put his arm around his shoulder and let Emily walk around outside, waiting for
Franklin to come over.
Emily curled her lips and walked around for a while. This was a private club, so she didn't have to worry
about meeting bad guys.
However, no one said that there were no bad guys among the rich. After wandering around for less
than a minute, she saw Andrew coming.
When Emily saw him, she immediately turned around and was about to leave, but she did not expect
that Andrew also saw her. He called out, "Emily," and strode towards her.
"Why are you hiding when you see me? Long time no see. Don't you miss me at all?"
