Chapter 206


    Emily looked at Franklin in shock, unable to believe that it was he who had said that.


    Franklin asked coldly again, "Why did you leave?"


    Emily couldn''t help but say sarcastically, "If I didn''t leave, I would definitely be arrested as a suspect.


    Your mother was desperate to find a way to punish me. With such a good excuse, she would have


    killed me. Fortunately, I left and then lived a stable life for four years. Otherwise, I would have been


    framed and arrested by you guys just like I am now."


    She was furious. She thought Franklin would help her exin. He clearly knew the truth, and even if it


    was not for the sake of the truth, he should have protected her from being wronged for the sake of the


    fact that they used to be husband and wife.


    But she didn''t expect that he wouldn''t help her, and it would be him who made it happen.


    So Emily couldn''t hold back her anger and she said sarcastic words to him.


    When Franklin heard her words, his facial expression did not change at all. After a while, he asked,


    "Why didn''t youe back in the past four years?"


    "Franklin, are you nuts? You will catch me as soon as Ie back. I will be a fool if Ie back. I''m a


    fool now. I even asked to see you. I thought you would prove my innocence, but I didn''t expect that it


    would be you who made me go to jail. Get out of here. Get out of here now. Get lost. I don''t want to see


    you anymore."


    "Who''s the man in the hospital?" Franklin seemed unaffected by her and continued to ask the


    questions.


    Emily said angrily, "He''s my man. I''m married, okay?"


    "Well, it seems that youmitted another crime, bigamy." Franklin said coldly.


    Then he stood up and left quickly.


    Emily gritted her teeth in anger. She had imagined the scenes of meeting Franklin. Maybe they would


    cry and sigh, or maybe they would treat each other like strangers and turn away from each other after


    saying hello, ending their half a lifetime romance.


    But she never thought it would be like this. Franklin actually did this to her and put her in prison.


    "When can I go out?" Emily couldn''t help but ask when the female police officer sent her back.


    The officer said, "I''m sorry. I don''t know. You can wait for yourwyer and then ask him!"


    Emily bit her lips. She didn''t have awyer, and she didn''t know if Joyce could help her. Half a day had


    passed, and Joyce didn''t mention visiting her in the prison.


    But Joyce was really trying to find a way to help her. She pulled all the connections and found awyer


    through her ssmates.


    But when thewyer heard about whose case it was, he immediately refused to get involved.


    Joyce was so angry that she stomped her feet and scolded him for being immoral.


    Fortunately, she and Sebastian carried Bryce to the hospital and found James'' ward.


    After hearing what happened to Emily, James was also shocked.


    "How did she provoke him? I know him. Did they have any grudges before?"


    "Well..." Joyce was embarrassed and didn''t know how to exin it.


    She didn''t know whether James knew about Emily''s past. If he didn''t, she may cause trouble when she


    told him about the rtionship between Emily and Franklin.


    So she didn''t tell him all the story. She said with a smile, "There''s no grudges between them. It''s just...


    It''s just a little ident. Now is not the time to worry about this. We should think about how to get Emily


    out. I''m going to contact some people here. If you have any connections in Lancaster, you should use


    them. After all, Franklin is not an ordinary person. I''m afraid ordinary people can''t deal with him."


    "I see. I''ll leave the hospital immediately," James said.


    Sebastian said, "Can you leave the hospital if you are not in good health? You should just make some


    phone calls first!"


    Joyce nodded approvingly.


    She looked at James. He was quite good-looking. He was wearing sses and seemed to be a well-


    mannered and educated man. In fact, she had a good impression of James. Unlike Franklin, James


    was folksy. When talking with Franklin, Joyce would be so nervous.


    "I''m fine. I''m just not used to the environment here. After being put on an intravenous drip, I feel better.


    The doctor just asked me to stay in the hospital for observation. I can leave the hospital. There are


    some things that I should deal with in person." James said.


    Seeing that he insisted on leaving, Joyce and Sebastian didn''t say anything more. After all, Emily was


    his wife, and it was reasonable for him to help her.


    Joyce''s connections were useless, so James asked her to quit pulling strings. He just asked her to help


    him keep an eye on his son, Bryce, so that he could find a way to help Emily wholeheartedly.


    Of course, Joyce agreed. Bryce was Emily''s son, and she should shoulder the responsibility of taking


    care of him.


    She brought Bryce back to her home. Her daughter was just one year old, and she could y with


    Bryce.


    Although Bryce was a boy, he was very careful. He had fun ying with Joyce''s daughter, and the two


    kids soon got along with each other.


    Sebastian made milk for the two kids. Looking at Bryce''s happy smile, he couldn''t help but say to


    Joyce, "Joyce, did you find that Bryce looks like Franklin? His name is Bryce. Do you think Emily still

    can''t forget Franklin?"


    "Don''t talk nonsense. He is James'' son. If James hears this, he will be angry. Don''t mention Franklin. If


    it weren''t for him, Emily wouldn''t have been arrested. I''ve already found out. The case four years ago


    was already closed. Franklin must have yed a part in all of this."


    "Franklin is really weird. If he cares about Emily, why didn''t he find her in the past four years? If he


    doesn''t care about her, then he shouldn''t cling to the past because four years have passed and


    everyone has a new life. Can''t he be graceful? Can''t they forget about each other and the enmity


    between them?" Sebastian shook his head.


    Joyce snorted and said, "Who knows? It is said that a day together as husband and wife means


    endless devotion for the rest of their life. But for Franklin, it was endless hate."


    In a weak condition, James found a friend he knew in Lancaster. He worked in the government and


    was somewhat rted to James'' family.


    Hearing what James said, George immediately said that he would check it out. An hourter, when the


    results came out, George looked embarrassed and said, "James, it''s not that I don''t want to help you.


    It''s really... Very troublesome. How did your wife offend Franklin? Haven''t you been in Dover all the


    time? Aren''t you here for the first time in Lancaster?"


    James frowned and said, "Emily was from Lancaster. Maybe she had some grudges with Franklin.


    Well, you can arrange for me to meet Emily first. I''ll find out what''s going on and then figure out how to


    solve the problem."


    George nodded, "That''s right. I can''t find out the details right now. All I know is that it''s Franklin who is


    behind all this. He is indifferent and not interested in anything. I didn''t expect him to deal with this


    matter in person. You''d better ask your wife about the details first!"


    James nodded and asked George to arrange for him to meet with Emily.


    After all, George had been in Lancaster for many years and had connections. Although Franklin had


    ordered that no one could visit Emily in the prison, George still managed to get James in.
