Chapter 67
Franklin glanced at the Wrights, walked over, and said to Lucas’ father, "The new company is not bad at the moment. If you want, I can pass it to you and make up for Lucas’ loss.”
Mr. Wright was taken aback when he heard this, and then he burst into ecstasy, "Franklin, you're too polite. We also know that Emily didn't mean it. Thank you for your kindness."
Mrs. Wright was excited. She immediately smiled gently. Lucas’ face was still pale, but he didn't dare to say anything.
In his parents’ mind, Iris was not a big deal. They are not satisfied with her. The miscarriage is good. If their son divorces Iris, the baby would be a big problem.
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson never expected this to be resolved so easily. Their eyes widened in anger and sadness.
But compared to Franklin, they were nothing. If the Wrights didn't stand out, they have no right to say anything here.
Elena collapsed in her husband's arms and began to cry. She blamed him for being useless and unable to protect his daughter.
"It's settled now. I'll take Emily home first and call me when necessary.” Franklin said to Mrs. Brent before taking Emily away.
Mrs. Brent was so angry that she trembled all over. She didn't expect her son to give the company to The Wrights because of Emily. But she had no choice when her son had made the decision.
Emily's hand was still cold, and after getting in the car, Franklin held her hand in his palm.
"I really didn’t mean it. Will she miscarry? Her baby..." Emily choked. "It's not your fault. It's been resolved," Franklin comforted her.
But Emily still cried, tears dripping from her cheeks. She was really upset. Even though she didn't get along with Iris. Indeed, she hates her. But the child hadn't done anything wrong. She knew the feeling of expecting a baby when she mistakenly thought she was pregnant.
The baby softened her and melted her heart down. She was expecting the baby just like Iris.
"There, there.” Franklin pressed her into his chest and gently patted her on the shoulder.
When he did this, Emily cried even harder and always got choked by her tears.
Mrs. Brent was so angry that she walked up to Mrs. and Mr. Wright and reprimanded them, "Getting satisfied after getting a small company? Is your grandson less important than that? We should take this opportunity to force him to divorce Emily. Our family would never accept her.”
"Mom, you have seen how determined Franklin was. He can give the company away just to protect that woman. How can we force him to change his mind?" Mrs. Wright explained timidly.
Mrs. Brent snorted and scolded them again.
Though deep in her heart, she knew they were telling the truth. She just needed to vent her anger on someone when she could not argue with her son. Her daughter can be the right choice.
Ivy comforted her, "Aunty, don't be angry. It's not good for your health. I'll send you back. You must be tired too! Let's go home and take a rest.”
"What a nice girl. Franklin is so blind that he cannot see how sweet and considerate you are." Mrs. Brent sighed again before leaving with Ivy. When she left, the Wrights were relieved.
Mr. Wright shot a warning look to Mrs. Wright. Mr. Wright shot a warning look at Mrs. Wright. She immediately got the message and walked to Mr. and Mrs. Johnson.
"You've seen it. We want to get revenge for Iris but we can't. My brother is powerful and short-tempered. We cannot go against him. Now that he is willing to give you a new company. It's a good thing. Iris can be the general manager, while Lucas be the CEO. They are young. They can have children soon.”
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson had no choice but suppressed their anger and said yes. But they required Anthony to work at the company as well. He was jobless and had nowhere to go because of Franklin. He didn't want to retire at such a "young" age.
Mrs. Wright's eyes were filled with contempt, but she did not say no. Iris got out of the OR and was sent to the ward soon.
Mr. and Mrs. Wright took a look at her when she was still unconscious. They told Mr. and Mrs. Johnson to take good care of her and left. Lucas was supposed to be here with them, but he also left with his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson were irritated because of their indifference.
"I don't think he has any feelings for Iris," Elena said through gritted teeth.
Anthony sighed and said, "Didn't you know that long ago? They got married because of our tricks rather than love. They are not over. We have to make more money before we get divorced.”
"You're right. I have to tell Iris when she wakes up,” Elena said quickly. Iris woke up the next day, but the Wrights never showed up.
When she woke up, Elena kept crying and cursing Emily and the Wrights. She was the only one who really cared about her daughter. Iris looked at the door, made sure it was closed, and said feebly, "Okay, mom, stop crying. I did it on purpose.”
"What? You did it on purpose?" Elena immediately stopped crying and looked at her in shock.
Iris looked a little unnatural and said," the father of the child is not Lucas. I could not let him come out."
"Ah, not his?" Elena was stunned.
Iris turned her head away, showing she didn't want to talk about it anymore.
Elena calmed down quickly. She's sweating. She wanted to say something but hesitated.
"That's good. The Wrights has agreed to be the general manager of the new company and let your father work at that company as well. You have to make more profits for our family when you are still Mrs. Wright,” Elena said to Iris.
But Iris was more concerned about Emily. She asked with gritted teeth, "Did Emily get punished by the Brents?"
"Not at all? Franklin adored Emily so much. He talked back to his mother and even gave a company to the Wrights to settle it. Emily must have done something great in her last life to get such a nice man who protects her no matter what.”
Iris gritted her teeth in anger. She could not figure out why, why Franklin left Ivy for Emily?!
"Mom, there must be something we don't know about Emily," said Iris hatefully.
Elena was taken aback and thought about it thoughtfully, "You're right. Your father seems to be hiding something from me. It must have something to do with Emily."
Iris's eyes lit up wickedly, "Mom, you should say it earlier. Go ask dad, he would definitely tell you.”
Elena snorted coldly, "Your father never says no to me unless it is related to Abigail. I'll find out the truth one day. Let's go and see.”
