Hello, Mr. Brent

Chapter 254

Although Mrs. Brent's age is not a round number, her birthday ceremony was grand. She unusually

insisted on holding a glamorous party this year.

She was the honorable lady of the Brent Family, so it was not too much to ask for it. Franklin didn't RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

intervene either. It was just a matter of money, so he left it to his mother to do whatever she wanted.

Mrs. Brent booked the entire hotel and arranged various entertaining activities. All the Brent Family

members who were available attended, and those who lived far away specially settled things down to

take part in this ceremony. So Franklin, Mrs. Brent's son, was naturally the center of the party, and he

had to come early.

Mrs. Brent, wearing shining jewels, greeted the guests with a bright red face.

Franklin came over with a gift, and Mrs. Brent went to him with a smile. Mrs. Brent's face immediately

changed when she saw Emily beside Franklin.

"Why did you bring her here?" Mrs. Brent asked in a low, sullen voice.

Her face twitched. It seemed she could still feel the scratch on it.

"Emily is very sorry for what she did before, so she came to apologize to you." Franklin pulled Emily

over and asked her to give his mother her present.

Sure enough, Emily smiled gently and said to Mrs. Brent with politeness, "Mrs. Brent, I'm really sorry

before. I was too impulsive and ignorant. You are broad-minded, so please forgive me. I hope this gift

could express my apology. Please accept it."

Mrs. Brent glanced at it and saw a string of English letters printed on the box. She knew this brand of

jewelry, which was quite expensive.

Originally, she didn't like Emily very much, but she had to endure it for the sake of this set of jewelry.

She couldn't squeeze out a smile, and only replied with an "OK".

Franklin smiled and asked Emily to look around, then he accompanied Mrs. Brent to greet other guests.

But Mrs. Brent was the birthday lady, so there was no reason for her to keep receiving guests.

Naturally, she sat at the head of the table and accepted people's birthday wishes.

"Go, call Avery and invite her to the birthday party." Mrs. Brent smiled brightly and took the time to

whisper to the butler.

The butler glanced at Emily, nodded knowingly and quickly made a phone call.

Mrs. Brent didn't like Emily or Avery. So she'd never thought about inviting Emily, let alone invite Avery.

There were a lot of reporters today, and Mrs. Brent had only planned to let Franklin attend the birthday

party as her son. As for the daughter-in-law, she'd never thought about it. If those reporters saw that

Avery didn't come over, they would rack their brains to write something ridiculous after they went back.

Perhaps the most likely theme was a woman's hard life with the evil mother-in-law-to-be in a wealthy

family.

But Mrs. Brent didn't expect that Emily would come and disrupted her plan.

Between Emily and Avery, Mrs. Brent disliked the former much more. Mrs. Brent could not help but grit

her teeth when she recalled that Emily had hurt her. After Avery came, she wanted to see how the two

bitches fought.

"Miss Johnson? How could you be here?"

Emily was wandering around the buffet table with a small plate, thinking that Mrs. Brent really liked this

ostentatious ceremony. According to Lisa, Mrs. Brent's annual birthday banquet was held in the Old

Residence, and it was also splendid and the theme was different. This year, Mrs. Brent insisted on

breaking the old tradition and holding it in a hotel. Besides, all the guests were acquaintances, so it was

really unnecessary to choose buffet.

Franklin didn't care about these things, but Lisa had to help arrange them. When she was tired and had

a sore back, she complained to Emily, and then mysteriously guessed that Mrs. Brent was

accumulating money.

For example, these meals might only cost a million dollars, but she asked Mr. Brent for a budget of two

million dollars.

In the past, Mrs. Brent spent almost the same amount of money on the birthday banquet every year.

This year, because of these changes, she asked for twice as much. If it was still the same as in the

past, it would definitely arouse Mr. Brent's suspicion.

Emily thought about it, and Lisa told her that Mrs. Brent was only glamorous and noble at the surface.

Since Mr. Brent took full control of the The Brent Group four years ago, the control over Mrs. Brent had

also been strict.

In the past, Mrs. Brent could come to the company to draw money at any time, but now she had no

right to do so. There was a fixed amount of pocket money every month. It was understandable that

Mrs. Brent came up with this idea to get more money, but Emily thought of more than that, which was

why she had to come here today.

Hearing someone calling her, Emily looked up at the source of the voice.

Ryan walked over quickly and said with a smile, "It's really you! I thought I mistake someone else for

you. We had no touch since you left four years ago. I didn't expect you to come back now."

"Oh, it's you. I came back early, didn't you know?" Emily said faintly.

Ryan was more mature and steady than four years ago. Although not as fascinating as Franklin, he

was a very handsome man.

In fact, Emily had a good impression of him because he had helped her a few times before.

But because he liked Ivy, Ryan often did something stupid that annoyed Emily. Without Ivy, Emily

actually liked to chat with him.

Ryan smiled and said, "I develop my career in another place and I've been there for three years. I just

returned to Lancaster these two days, so I really don't know about you."

"You went out to develop? Why?" Emily remembered that his father was Franklin's capable

subordinate.

Ryan smiled awkwardly and said, "My father offended uncle Franklin and was sent out directly. I had to

go out with him, but fortunately, my little uncle didn't forget us. We've been doing well outside for the

past two years. I haven't been back for three years. By this birthday banquet, uncle specially allowed

me to come back and take a look."

"Ah?" Emily was surprised.

But she quickly realized that it might be because of what had happened four years ago. Emily had

heard that Alan wanted to seize power, and Mrs. Brent also coveted it. And a few people in the Brent

Family were bribed by Alan, but finally, all of them were taken over by Franklin who completely

eliminated the unfaithful people around him.

Presumably, Ryan's father was among them, so Franklin sent him out.

"Then you and Ivy..." Emily couldn't help but gossip when she thought about Ryan and Ivy.

Just as she was speaking, she didn't expect Ivy to come over. Ivy called Ryan first. When she ran over

and saw Emily, her face immediately changed.

"Ryan, why are you with her?" Ivy asked unhappily.

Ryan quickly put on a fawning face and said, "I met her. Just said a few words."

Emily rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking that Ryan was really a stupid man. When he saw Ivy, he

became completely stupid.

However, Emily did not forget the last time Ivy helped her, so she didn't sneer at Ivy. Emily said

something to the two of them and just left with the plate in her hand.
