Hello, Mr. Brent

Chapter 228

Emily was stunned. She didn't expect Sebastian to be so thoughtful for she always thought that he was

simple and honest.

Joyce also came to her senses and quickly asked, "Emily, is it true? Did he threaten you with us?"

Emily smiled awkwardly and said, "Sebastian, how did you think of this?"

Sebastian sighed and said, "It's not that difficult for he was the one who provided the storefront of our

flower shop. The shop is in the busiest part of the city, and the prices of the shops around it have been

rising all these years. If we have to pay the rent, the money we make won't be enough for the rent. But

because we don't need to worry about the rent, business has been good all these years. I also quit my

job to help Joyce run the store, and we bought a house. Without this store, we would have nothing. And

the store was originally provided by him, so it's easy for him to mess with us."

Emily smiled bitterly, "You're getting smarter and smarter."

Joyce said, "Franklin, this is too much. Emily, don't give in and be afraid of him because of this. At the

worst, we can just close the flower shop."

"Joyce, don't be angry. You have been doing so well in this flower shop. You and Sebastian still have to

depend on it. Deny is still so young, how can you quit it now? He just wants to get back at me. He

would probably let me go when he gets bored." Emily sighed.

Sebastian said, "Actually, Joyce may have a point. I've thought about it before. Joyce's parents and

mine are not in Lancaster. In the end, we are just people who come to Lancaster to make a living.

Sooner or later, we will return to our roots. When the flower shop is closed, we will sell the house here

and go back to our hometown. Then we will be able to look after our parents."

"Ah, I can't believe you have even thought about that." Joyce said in surprise.

Sebastian fondly rubbed her hair and said, "Of course, didn't your parents and mine keep urging us to

go back? We just didn't want to give up what we built up here. Now it's different, we can leave without

hesitation."

Joyce was touched and said, "Sebastian, you're so thoughtful. It's my blessing to marry you."

Emily looked at the happy couple, relieved, and sighed. She believed that she would never get such

simple happiness for the rest of her life.

"In that case, we don't have any worries. Emily, break up with him immediately. We will not be

threatened by him." Joyce said confidently.

Emily shook her head and said, "Franklin is not as simple as we thought. You see, James' family is not

in Lancaster. Still, he was able to give him a hard time. If he wants to plot against a person, whether

that person is in Lancaster or not, he can find a way. This has to be reconsidered. Take your time,"

Emily said.

Sebastian nodded and said, "That's what I mean. We should take it slow. Let's work hard for one last

time, earn enough money, sell the store, and then leave Lancaster on the grounds that our parents are

old and need care. Let Emily stabilize Franklin first. After we settle down in our hometown, Emily can

talk about leaving Franklin then, and he won't be able to suspect us. So we'll keep Emily's money first.

After Emily leaves Franklin, she surely will not stay in Lancaster. We can buy her a house in her

hometown and stay together in the future."

"Sebastian, you're so smart." Joyce hugged Sebastian excitedly.

Sebastian blushed and quickly pushed her away, "Don't be like this. Emily is still here."

Joyce smiled shyly and happily.

Emily also felt that what Sebastian said made sense. Since it was all planned like this, she still wanted

to get some money from Franklin so that she could live on it in the future.

In the past, she didn't want to spend Franklin's money for she felt that he didn't owe her. She had no

position then. But it would be different in the future. She felt that Franklin had to give her a sum of

money at least for Bryce.

After leaving Joyce's house, Emily went to the shopping mall.

Suddenly asking Franklin for money would definitely arouse his suspicion, so she had to take it slow.

After seeing a few clothes of the latest styles of the season she liked, she tried them on and asked the

shopping guide to wrap them up, then asked the bodyguard to pay.

The bodyguard looked embarrassed. Mr. Brent only asked them to follow her, but he didn't say that

they were responsible for the bill.

"Why? No money. Call Franklin and ask him to pay the bill then." Emily snorted coldly.

The shopping guide was also embarrassed. It was not common for her to meet a rich guest. She didn't

expect that there was something fishy about the bill.

However, she stood by and waited with those clothes in her hands. Since she could bring out two

bodyguards, she should not be short of money.

The bodyguard had no choice but to call Jason and tell him about it.

Just as Jason was beside Franklin, Franklin asked, "What's the matter?"

Jason then told Franklin, "It's Miss Johnson. She saw a few clothes in the mall and wanted to buy Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

them, but she asked the bodyguard to pay. It's not much, but still over one hundred thousand. The

bodyguard can't make the decision, so he called me for instructions."

Franklin sneered and said slowly, "Call the mall and charge all the expenses to my account. You should

send a card over immediately. Also, get another gold card for Miss Johnson and tell her to spend as

she pleases."

Jason nodded immediately, quickly called the bodyguard to give the orders, and then went to get a gold

card for Emily.

The manager received a call directly from above and quickly allowed Emily to take the clothes away

with the bodyguards.

As long as it was Franklin to pay the bill, should he be worried? Better let this big client leave happily.

She might even shop here again.

Emily didn't expect the matter to be resolved so quickly, so she asked the bodyguard to take the

clothes and leave.

Franklin was so generous to pay the bill. So naturally, she would not continue to go on like this, lest she

aroused Franklin's suspicion and unhappiness.

But when she reached the elevator and was about to get to the underground garage, a man suddenly

came out of the elevator with a woman in his arms.

The two of them were very close, and they even hugged and kissed each other. The man was still

carrying a bag, probably a gift for the woman.

But the sight of this man made Emily explode.

Because this man was none other than her mother's current husband, Hunter.

"Hunter." Emily shouted angrily.

Hunter was flirting with his little lover and didn't notice Emily at all.

He was shocked by the sudden shouting that he immediately looked up and saw Emily standing in front

of them with an angry face.

Hunter was shocked at first but soon calmed down.

Especially when he thought that Emily refused to help him get the job of the vice president last time, he

was furious and snorted, "So it's you. I thought you left Lancaster long ago, but I didn't expect you to

still be here. It seems that the old bitch lied to me."
