Hello, Mr. Brent

Chapter 224

James suddenly received a call saying that the case had been withdrawn and that the other party

intended to give up holding them accountable.

James' mother thought she was hearing imaginary voices and quickly grabbed the phone to confirm.

"Really? The other party really decided to drop the case? What about the compensation..."

"You don't have to pay." The opposing lawyer said.

James’s mother hung up the phone in disbelief and said to James, "James, I didn't expect this to be

solved so easily. That's great. So great."

James looked sullen and remained silent for a long time before he suddenly stood up and walked out.

His mother asked anxiously, "James, where are you going?"

"Mom, tell my dad the good news! I have something to do, so I need to go out for a while." James said.

His mother nodded. She knew that he had worked so hard for so many days for this matter, and that

now he might want to relax, so she did not stop him.

After James left, he drove away and drove directly to that hotel.

When he arrived at the door of Room 802, the bodyguards stopped him.

James said with a grim face, "Let me in. The person inside said I could come to him anytime."

The two bodyguards glanced at each other and said, "I’ll make a call first. You wait a minute."

One of the bodyguards took out his cell phone to make a call to the room, and it was quickly

connected. When the person heard the bodyguard's words, he agreed.

The bodyguard hung up the phone and said, "Mr. Brent allows you to go in. Go in!"

James gritted his teeth and pushed the door open angrily. As soon as he entered, he saw Emily coming

out of the bedroom in a bathrobe.

Emily didn't expect him to come over and said in surprise, "James, why are you here?" NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Franklin came out of the bedroom and took a coat to cover her. "Be careful. You may catch a cold."

Then he raised his eyes and looked at James arrogantly, as if he had done it on purpose.

James asked with a grim face, "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to worry about this? Why did

you come here?"

When James heard the matter was solved so easily, he knew that Franklin had achieved his purpose.

He didn't reach an agreement with Franklin before because he understood Franklin was behind all this

the moment he went in and saw Franklin. Sure enough, as soon as they met, Franklin asked him to

leave Emily, or he would be in jail.

But he had already driven Emily away. Why did Emily meet this man again?

"James, I'm sorry." Emily lowered her head and muttered.

James said angrily, "Don’t apologize to me. It has nothing to do with you. Didn't I tell you to leave and

not to worry? This is our family's business. Whatever result we will get is our own business."

"But it's all because of me," Emily shouted.

After that, she slowly lowered her head and said to James, "James, thank you for taking care of me for

the past few years. I want a divorce! I'm sorry. I can't give you the life you want, and I can't accept your

love."

James staggered back two steps and looked at her in disbelief. He quickly smiled bitterly and said,

"Have you made up your mind? But you know I don't want you to come back to him because of me."

Emily pursed her lips and said, "Not only because of you, but also because I can't forget him all the

time. You know better than anyone who is in my heart. This is good for both of us. In fact, he doesn't

have to do all this. As long as he says, I will get back with him."

"Emily, are you serious?" James asked sadly.

Emily nodded and produced a forced smile, "Yes, it's not that you don't know me. I wouldn't wrong

myself for these things."

"Good, very good." James smiled bitterly.

After a while, he took a deep breath and said to Emily, "I want to talk to you alone."

Emily went quiet for a moment, nodded, and looked at Franklin. Franklin understood and actually

turned around and left for the bedroom.

Emily heaved a sigh of relief. She thought Franklin would not agree, but to her surprise, he agreed.

"James, thank you for taking care of me all these years." Emily expressed her gratitude again.

James said bitterly, "You don't have to keep thanking me. You're being so polite. It really makes me

believe that you don't have any feelings for me anymore."

Emily lowered her head in shame.

James took another deep breath and said, "I don't think we'll meet again in the future. After the divorce,

you can take Bryce with you. But before that, I can answer a question you have asked. Aren't you

always curious why my parents don't like you? When I first went to you and said that as long as you

married me, I would be Bryce’s father and he would be live in a functional family. In the meantime, my

parents would not have to nag me to get married and others wouldn’t judge me. That was not true. I

asked you to marry me because I didn't want to marry another woman at all, let alone a real marriage.

And my parents know about this. The reason why they don't like you is that they knew our marriage is

built on a contract."

"What? They knew?" Emily was surprised. She didn't expect that.

"You know I had a girlfriend before. This is her photo." James took out a photo and showed it to Emily.

Emily took a look and widened her eyes in surprise.

She didn't expect that there would be someone so similar to her in this world.

The woman wasn't exactly the same as her, but the eyebrows and eyes were very similar. Looking at

that photo again, she felt even more similar.

"You two look alike. That's why I want to marry you. And my parents don't like her. Do you know why?"

James smiled bitterly.

Emily shook her head, "This girl doesn't look like a bad person. How could your parents hate her?"

"I also have a brother named Bruce, who is my twin brother. I met the girl first, but she fell in love with

my brother. When they left together, it snowed heavily. There was a pile-up on the highway, and many

people were injured and killed. The two of them were killed. Ever since then, I've completely lost

interest in marriage. I was surprised to see you. I didn't expect there would be such a person so similar

to her. So I wanted to marry you because I..."

"Because you can't forget her, and because you still love her." Emily muttered.

James lowered his head in guilt.

Emily took a deep breath. In fact, she knew some about this when James asked her to marry him. But

she didn't expect it to be so complicated. She always thought that James was in love with the woman

he could not forget. She didn’t expect him to be too caught up in his unrequited love.

"James, the past is the past. I hope you can be happy."
