Chapter 221


    Emily put her head in Joyce''s arms and cried for a long time, causing Joyce to be stunned.


    When she finally stopped crying, Joyce asked cautiously, "Emily, are you sad?"


    Emily quickly wiped away her tears and said, "Of course not. I''m crying for joy. It''s better that he gets


    married so that he won''t pester me anymore. Joyce, I''m taking Bryce away to find James. No matter


    what happens to James, I''ll be by his side."


    Emily said these words firmly as if she had finally made up her mind.


    Joyce said, "Well, go to James! But don''t bring Bryce. You don''t know what''s going on with James. It


    would be inconvenient to take care of the child and do something at the same time. Bryce and Deny


    are having a good time together, so let them y here. Just tell Bryce. He''s so considerate. He''ll do like


    you say."


    "But that is not a permanent solution. I can''t always trouble you." Emily knew what Joyce said made


    sense, but she was afraid that it would trouble Joyce too much.


    Joyce said angrily, "If you say that again, I''ll be angry. We are friends. Don''t stand on ceremony."


    Emily quickly held her hand and said, "Joyce, I don''t know how to thank you."


    "You don''t need to. Your son will be much more handsome in the future. I kinda want him to be my son-


    inw." Joyce yfully stuck out her tongue.


    Emily knew that Joyce was just trying to relieve her, so she was grateful to Joyce. It was the luckiest


    thing in her life to know Joyce and be her best friend.


    Then Emily told Bryce what she was going to do, and he nodded obediently as she had expected. He


    said that he would be good and wait for them toe back to pick him up at aunty''s house and would


    not cause trouble for aunty.


    Only then did Emily rx and book on her phone a ticket in the afternoon. When Sebastian came back


    at noon, he would take her to the station.


    This time, she didn''t run into any problems with the ticket collector. It seemed that Franklin did pull


    some tricksst time.


    After getting on the train, Emily sat in her seat and sighed at the scenery outside.


    It felt like a dream as if she would see Franklin staring at her when she opened her eyes.


    "Don''t think about him anymore. That man is a devil and a jackass." Emily patted her face.


    Three hourster, the high-speed train arrived in Dover.


    Emily got out and took a taxi back to her house.


    However, the door of the house was locked. After opening the door and looking around the house,


    Emily didn''t see any sign of James'' return.


    She called James again, but no one answered. She had no choice but to call James'' cousin.


    Joy answered and said anxiously, "Sister Emily? Is that you? What took you so long to contact me? I


    Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    couldn''t get in touch with you before."


    "Joy, I''m sorry. Something happened to me in Lancaster. Where''s your cousin? Where is he now?"


    Emily asked quickly.


    "He is at home. Something happened to his parents. Emily,e back and check up on him!" Joy said


    anxiously.


    Emily frowned and quickly hung up the phone to go to James'' parents'' house.


    She and James had been married for two years, but she had never been to James'' parents'' house. It


    wasn''t that she didn''t want to go, but that James'' parents wouldn''t let her go.


    James'' rtives epted her, but his parents strongly opposed her marriage with James. And she still


    didn''t know why James'' parents did that.


    "Sister Emily, you''re finally here." When Emily arrived at James'' parents'' house, Joy was waiting for her


    at the door.


    Emily said gratefully, "Joy, thank you."


    If Joy didn''te over, James'' parents might not be willing to open the door for her.


    Joy said, "Sister Emily, you don''t have to be so polite. I''m so worried about my aunt for what happened


    to them for the past few days. It''s good that youe back. At least we have one more to talk with and


    ask for advice."


    "What happened?!" Emily asked again.


    Joy''s expression showed that it was something major, but she couldn''t figure out what could happen to


    a professor.


    "Here''s the thing," Joy said to her as they walked. "A few days ago, my uncle took a fancy to a Song


    dynasty porcin. It was said that it was very rare and precious. As you know, my uncle devoted


    himself to scientific research and liked archaeology very much. He had always been very fond of these


    antique treasures. He has also collected a lot of famous paintings and ceramics, but when he sees that


    one, he can''t move his eyes away. In his words, at that nce, he felt that if he didn''t enjoy it well in his


    life, he would not die in peace."


    "Since he likes it so much, he could just buy it!" Emily could not understand James'' father''s words. It


    was not like the James family couldn''t afford it. It was just a ceramic. It shouldn''t cost much!


    Joy sighed and said, "Sister Emily, it''s easy for you to say. Do you know how much that porcin


    costs? It is worth more than tens of millions. The most important thing is that this one is the only one of


    its kind. That collector also cherishes it very much. He took it out for everyone to see and took it away


    in less than half an hour. My uncle wanted to see it so bad and wouldn''t stop talking about it for even


    one day. Thanks to many friends, he finally met the collector and begged him to let him have a look at it


    again. The man was very generous and agreed. He even gave the porcin to my uncle and let my


    uncle take it home to admire it for a week. Uncle was so happy and came back with the porcin in his


    arms with excitement. Unfortunately, the next day, a thief came and everything was fine except the


    porcin..."


    "It was stolen?" Emily asked with a pale face.


    Joy sighed and said, "I wish it was stolen. At least there''s still the possibility of getting it back. But it was


    broken to pieces. You don''t know, my uncle almost killed himself. If not for my cousin and aunt


    watching him, he would have killed himself several times in the past few days."


    Emily, "..."


    The corner of her mouth twitched. She really didn''t expect such an unlucky drama and it actually


    happened to someone she knew.


    "It needs to be returned to the collector in four days. But what can we give back?" Joy sighed.


    Not long after they pressed the doorbell, James'' mother opened the door. Naturally, she was very


    happy to see Joy, but when she saw Emily, her expression changed. However, she did not chase her


    away, but just sighed.


    Emily didn''t know what to say tofort her. After all, she didn''t know her very well either.


    After following Joy in, she saw James watching over his father in the study in case hemitted


    suicide again.


    She hadn''t seen James for a few days, and he became emaciated. When he saw Emily, he was


    surprised and happy. He quickly went up to her and said, "Emily, you''re finally back."


    "James, are you okay? You are so emaciated now." Emily said, feeling pity for him.


    James sighed, nced at his father, asked his mother to watch over him here, and took Emily outside.


    Just as he was about to exin to Emily, Emily immediately said, "Joy has told me. Is there a good


    solution now?"
