Chapter 208
"I really didn't expect it to be you. What's your relationship with Emily?" Harry asked curiously.
"Emily and I..." James smiled and said, "Yes, Emily. We are husband and wife. I came to Lancaster
University to give a speech this time, I did not expect to get sick from climate-unaccustomed. Emily
knew about it and brought the child to see me. I always knew she was hiding from someone before, but
I never thought it would be Franklin in Lancaster. Now she is caught in prison, I am very anxious. I also
found someone to enquire about it, and it turns out that Mr. Brent should take the initiative to withdraw
the case, and then there will be a turnaround."
"You have married Emily?" Harry was even more surprised.
James nodded and said, "And we have a child. Now that the child is at Emily's friend's house, he
misses his mother very much."
Harry was shocked. He never expected Emily to leave for four years and came back married, and she
even had a child.
Thinking of Franklin...
He sighed and said, "Do you know what's the relationship between Franklin and Emily?"
James nodded and said, "I heard some from Emily and asked my friends. They used to be husband
and wife. But now that Emily is married and that Mr. Brent has a fiancee, I think this relationship should
end."
"Hmm, do you know why didn't Franklin marry his fiancée for a long time? Because he hasn't divorced
Emily yet, and the marriage relationship between them still exists. In other words, if Emily marries you
now, then she is committing bigamy." Harry said.
"What? Has he never dealt with this?" James asked in shock.
Harry nodded. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
James frowned and was worried for a moment.
He wasn't afraid that Franklin would sue them for bigamy, but it had been four years since then. If
Franklin wanted to dissolve the marriage with Emily, it would be as easy as turning his hand over.
But he didn't do it. What did that mean? It meant that there were feelings or interests hidden behind.
The second possibility was almost non-existent. George had told him that Emily's background was not
good. Back then, the Brent Family didn't think highly of her either. Franklin had to get rid of all
difficulties to admit her identity recognized by Brent Family.
"Since he has feelings for Emily, why hasn't he looked for her in the past four years?" James asked.
It wouldn't be difficult if Franklin really wanted to find someone, not to mention that Emily was not far
from Lancaster in the past four years. She didn't hide from him all the time, so it was easy for him to
find her.
"I'm not clear about that either. I heard from my friend that you want to meet Franklin. I can arrange
this, but I can't do more about it. He's always stubborn about Emily." Harry smiled bitterly.
James nodded and said quickly, "I'm already very grateful to you for these things, Mr. Carter. If it
weren't for you, I wouldn't even be able to see him."
"There's an event in the afternoon. I'll take you there. I'll give you a chance to talk alone." Harry looked
at his watch and said to James.
James nodded and left with him.
The so-called activities were just a few friends playing golf together. Franklin rarely participated in such
activities. Especially in the past four years, he seldom participated in such recreational activities. But he
became keen on TV and magazines that he appeared in entertainment reports almost every month.
It puzzled his old friends. They were businessmen, not starlets. Increasing exposure did not do them
any good. There was also the possibility of exposing their whereabouts and encountering any
accidental injuries.
But they could say nothing about Franklin, and he had an excellent appearance. Standing in the middle
of the stars, he was not inferior to them at all, so everyone was just appreciating it.
As soon as Franklin arrived, everyone put down their clubs and greeted him.
After those people exchanged pleasantries with Franklin, Harry took James to Franklin and introduced
him, "Franklin, let me introduce you to someone. This is Professor James, and this is Mr. Brent."
James looked at Franklin and couldn't help but taste bitterly in his heart. Although he had seen him
more than once on TV and in magazines, he didn't expect the real person to look even more
handsome, especially his temperament, which could attract other men.
"Such a man used to be Emily's husband. No wonder Emily was not very interested in me." James
thought.
But now was not the time to be jealous. James immediately reached out his hand and said, "Mr. Brent,
hello, this is James."
Franklin nodded slightly and reached out to shake his hand.
In fact, he didn't understand why Harry introduced such a professor to him, and he didn't want to
develop his business into the education industry.
Harry looked at him in surprise and immediately understood that he didn't know James' identity yet!
However, he felt very strange. Mr. Brent had known that Emily was in Lancaster and sent her to prison,
so it was easy for him to know Emily's condition over the past few years. James was easier to be
investigated unless Mr. Brent didn't look into Emily at all.
"James, have a good talk with Franklin! After that, let's go play together." Harry couldn't figure out
Franklin's thoughts and had to say something to James.
James nodded.
When Harry was far away from those people, he said to Franklin, "Mr. Brent, let's have a talk!"
Franklin frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Is there anything we need to talk about?"
James suddenly realized that Franklin had no idea who he was.
James could only smile awkwardly and say, "I know I'm a stranger to Mr. Brent. In fact, to me, Mr. Brent
is just a legendary person. But we happen to know the same person, so it's a kind of fate."
"Is the same person you're talking about Harry?" Franklin said faintly.
James smiled and said, "Surely not. It's Emily. Oh, Emily."
Franklin, "..."
His face became gloomy at once and asked coldly, "What's your relationship with Emily?"
James pursed his lips and said awkwardly, "I'm Emily's husband. My wife is now in prison because of
what happened four years ago. I hope you can..."
"Mr. Brent, Mr. Brent."
Before James could finish his sentence, Franklin turned around and left. James chased after him
anxiously.
Franklin took out his phone and called someone. Soon, two men in black stopped James.
James said anxiously, "Mr. Brent, listen to me. I don't care what happened between you and Emily, it
happened four years ago. Could you be kind enough to sit down and talk about it? If it's really our fault,
we will apologize to you."
"What's going on? Let him go first." Harry's group saw something strange here and rushed over to
scold the bodyguards.
