Chapter 156
Abigail talked to Emily again, and after a while Hunter called for dinner. Abigail went into the kitchen to
help Hunter with the dishes and told her about her work.
During dinner, Hunter toasted Emily and thanked her for her help.
Emily said, "You will be a family in the future. You don't have to be so polite. You should do this job well.
It may be a little hard at first, but if you do it well, you will have a chance to continue your promotion in
the future."
Hunter nodded quickly and promised Emily again and again that he would work hard and never betray
her and Franklin's trust.
After dinner, Hunter suggested sending Emily downstairs.
Abigail saw the two of them wanting to say something, but he still let Hunter go.
When they got downstairs, Emily asked Hunter, "Did you ask?"
Hunter nodded and whispered to Emily, "This is a problem for your mother. It took me a long time to get
the truth from her. But don't question her. She has her own reasons. As for what they are, she won't
say."
"What is it?" Emily frowned. When he said it, it seemed to get worse.
"I heard from your mother that you... You are not Anthony's biological daughter. Your biological father
has someone else," Hunter said.
"What?" Emily exclaimed, "You said Anthony wasn't my real father?"
"Hush, hush, hush. Don't let your mother hear you. She kept telling me not to tell you about this,"
Hunter said nervously.
Emily looked at Hunter in shock, as if he could not believe what he said was true. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
After a while, she calmed down and said, "How is it possible that Anthony isn't... Then why has mother
kept me from telling me the truth all these years? Even if Anthony did this to me, she still wouldn't dare
to tell me the truth. I don't believe it, I don't believe it."
In fact, she wished that Anthony had nothing to do with her. Such a father meant nothing to her.
But what she couldn't accept was her mother's attitude, if Anthony really wasn't her biological father.
Then why did her mother allow her to be bullied by the Anthony family? Last time, she said that
Anthony's family had a history of mental illness, so her mother testified to Anthony and slandered her.
Is she not her biological mother?
"Is she... Not my biological mother?" Emily asked sadly.
Hunter immediately said, "Of course not. She's your biological mother, and there's no doubt about that.
She has her own reasons. She knows that she's sorry for what she did before, and she knows how
cruel Anthony was to you. But there was nothing she could do, as if Anthony knew about it and kept
threatening her with it. Your father... Should not be a simple person. She was always afraid that person
would find your mother and daughter, so she was always threatened by Anthony."
Emily frowned. It was too sudden for her to accept.
However, she listened to Hunter's words and stopped questioning her mother for the time being.
"I'm leaving first. This matter... Give me some time to accept it. I won't tell my mother for the time
being," Emily said.
Hunter nodded and said gratefully, "It's not easy for your mother. She's worried about this being leaked
out. Just think of it as for her own good, as if you don't know!"
"Well, I'm still asking you to take good care of her," Emily said.
Hunter nodded and watched her leave.
Emily returned home in a daze and told the servant not to disturb her, so he went upstairs alone.
Lying on the bed, Emily couldn't help but think of all the experiences from childhood. Anthony never
liked her. She knew that, but she didn't know why.
It turned out that when she was young, she felt that Anthony didn't like her because she didn't have her
mother around. It was Elena's fault. But what happened later made her feel that Anthony didn't just
dislike her, he didn't even think of her as his own daughter.
Because no biological father would be such a jerk, framing and slandering his own daughter.
She didn't expect him to be her real father, but why didn't her mother tell her the truth and why did she
keep hiding it from her?
Emily couldn't figure it out, no matter what.
Since Anthony was not her biological father, then who was her biological father that would make her
mother so afraid? He would rather be threatened by Anthony than tell her the truth.
"Hey, Emily, what are you doing?" The phone rang in her sleep, and Emily got through to Joyce.
"Sleep!" Emily said in a daze.
"I'm still sleeping. What time is it?" Joyce complained.
Emily gave a "Yes" and turned over, "What's wrong?"
Joyce said, "Mr. Carter's house has been completed and has been checked and accepted. In order to
thank us, Mr. Carter specially invited us to dinner. As a middleman, you naturally have to come over for
the celebration banquet. Mr. Carter specifically ordered me to call you."
"Ah, when?" Asked Emily.
"See you at the xxx hotel at six tonight," Joyce said.
Emily quickly stretched out his neck and looked at the clock, but it was already five o' clock.
She remembered that it was only after one o' clock when she came back from her mother's house and
went to bed. She had slept for four hours this afternoon.
"Okay, I'll get up right away. I'll be there on time." Emily said as he rolled out of bed.
"Okay, we'll wait for you." Joyce said and hung up.
Emily threw his phone on the bed and went to the bathroom to take a bath.
After showering, she picked out a dress, put it on, and simply put on makeup. It was already 5: 30.
He drove from home and arrived at the hotel at barely six o' clock.
As soon as Emily entered the private room, he saw Joyce and Christian sitting there talking to each
other. When he saw her coming, he waved at her.
Emily walked over and said in surprise, "There are only three of us in such a big box! It's too
extravagant!"
"There are three. There's still Mr. Carter."
"But with him there are only four people. The table in this private room belongs to at least a dozen
people!"
"He's rich and willful. He doesn't care what he does. I've seen it. The food in this hotel is delicious. Eat
more later," Joyce said excitedly.
Christian looked at her dotingly and smiled, reaching out to touch her head.
Emily was dumbfounded as he watched, and after a while he asked in surprise, "You two..."
Joyce lowered his head and curled his lips, "We're officially dating, Emily. Be happy for us!"
Emily quickly smiled and said, "Of course, congratulations. You two have to treat me to dinner!"
"Of course. After this meal, let's go and have some skewers," Joyce said with a smile.
Emily smiled and nodded. The door to the private room opened, and Harry walked in from outside.
