Chapter 296
Daniel''s attitude did not surprise Franklin because he seeded in prejudging it. Therefore, Franklin
didn''t get angry. However, Franklin paid prolonged attention to Daniel''s look in his eyes as he rested his
eyes on Emily. He found out that Daniel just nced at Emily for one second, and then looked swiftly
away. It seemed that Daniel didn''t even know her. Franklin squinted his eyes and breathed a quiet sigh
of relief.
Bryan Miller faked a smile and said, "Mr. Williams, may I present Mr. Brent, Franklin, the president of
the The Brent Group to you. General Manager Mr. Brent has been my old friend for many years. He
has introduced Mr. Brent specifically. Just now we ran into each other. So I take this opportunity to
invite Mr. Brent to join us."
"Run into each other? I think this is more like a purposeful encounter arranged by Mr. Millers!" Daniel
refused to save Bryan Miller''s face and uncovered his trick directly.
Bryan Miller had known Daniel for many years. Of course, he was fully aware of Daniel''s direct
personality. He produced an embarrassed smile without being angry or denying it, which could be
considered a direct acquiescence.
After Daniel sat down, he looked at Franklin with cold words jumping out of his mouth, "Mr. Brent, why
are you so insistent? You get what you get, and it is pointless to stick to what does not belong to you."
Franklin responded calmly, "I also want to give these words to you. You get what you get. You are
being utterly pointless now, yearning for things that don''t belong to you."
"Oh, it turns out that Mr. Brent is interested not only in stealing other people''s son, but also in repeating
other people''s words." Daniel sneered with poignant sarcasm.
Franklin curled his lips slightly and nced at Emily beside him. He said to Daniel, "You have been
constantly iming that my son is yours. I guess you know your son''s mother very well, don''t you?"
Daniel immediately snorted, "Absolutely. I''m not as muddled as you, being unclear of such an essential
thing."
"Well, since Mr. Williams has such a sober mind, let me introduce thisdy to you. This is my wife and
my son''s biological mother, Emily. Bryce''s namees from my wife''s and my surnames. Now you can
understand why his name is Bryce!" Franklin said.
He dared to introduce Emily with this identity because he found out that Daniel couldn''t even recognize
Emily.
Daniel not only failed to recognize Emily but also allocated no attention to her. Except for the first
nce, Daniel never looked at Emily again. Therefore, Franklin was bold in introducing his wife to a
stranger.
Sure enough, when he said that, Daniel was stunned and frowned at Emily.
After looking at her for a while, he found that she looked familiar. However, he couldn''t tell who she
resembled from his blurry memory.
Bryan Miller, on the other hand, also looked at Emily as Daniel kept looking at her. However, it was him
who eximed with surprise, "Mr. Williams, you and Miss Johnson look somewhat alike. Hehe."
He just wanted to break the ice here. Unexpectedly, both Franklin and Daniel looked at him
simultaneously in surprise after he finished speaking.
The smile on Bryan Miller''s face faded in the blink of an eye. He immediately gave his sincerest
apology, "Gentlemen, I''m just kidding. Please don''t be angry."
"Is your surname Johnson?" Daniel looked at Emily and asked.
Emily nodded, "Yes, my surname is Johnson. My name is Emily, and my son''s name is Bryce. I don''t
know why you im that Bryce is your son. I''m pretty sure he''s definitely my son. Me and Franklin gave
birth to him. I don''t even know you. How could my son have anything to do with you? Just give my son
back to me as soon as possible. I haven''t seen him for a long time. I really miss him."
"Is your mother''s name Abigail?" Daniel suddenly asked.
Emily was stunned for a moment. She looked at him in surprise, "You... How do you know?"
Daniel''s face suddenly turned as white as the sheet. He rose at once and then left without saying a
word.
Neither Emily nor Franklin had reckoned with Daniel''s sudden departure. Bryan Miller also stood up
and shouted, being anxious, "Mr. Williams, are you leaving? What happened?"
But Daniel ignored him and had already left quickly.
Franklin frowned, looked at Bryan Miller and asked, "What''s wrong?"
Bryan Miller shook his head and looked confused, "I don''t know. Indeed, he has a bad temper and is a
little strange. But it''s my first time seeing him acting so weirdly."
Franklin frowned as if he was processing something. He did not ask Bryan Miller again. It seemed that
Bryan Miller also didn''t know much. Therefore, he said to Bryan Miller, "Thank you for your
arrangement today. Since Daniel has left, we won''t disturb you."
Bryan Miller said obsequiously, "Mr. Brent, you''re wee. Mr. Brent and I have been old friends for
many years. I''ll try my best to do what Mr. Brent asks me to do. I''m just sorry that I haven''t helped."
"Mr. Miller has helped us a lot," Franklin said politely.
After exchanging usual pleasantries with Bryan Miller, Franklin went away with Emily.
In fact, Emily was extremely anxious, but it was inappropriate for her to say it out loud when Bryan
Miller was still on the scene.
As soon as she got in the car, she said to Franklin, "From my point of view, this Daniel is totally
strange. Why does he know who my mother is? And probably he is even familiar with her!"
Franklin rubbed her hair and said dotingly, "My dear, you are so smart. You have seeded in
concentrating on the crucial point. I believe that he has some kind of special rtionship with your
mother!"
"What?" Emily was surprised. However, she said quickly, "Don''t talk nonsense. What kind of special
rtionship could this be? He''s so young, my mother... This shouldn''t be that kind of rtionship."
Emily thought Franklin was talking about the same kind of rtionship between Abigail and Hunter.
Before she met Daniel, perhaps she would buy it on the first thought. Now that she had seen Daniel in
person, she would not believe that Daniel would be in love with her mother.
Even though her mother was beautiful and still attractive at her age, it was easy to tell that Daniel was
an extraordinary man. Why would this kind of man be attracted by her aged mother?
As expected, Franklin couldn''t help butugh. He pinched her earlobe and said, "Of course it''s not that
kind of rtionship. However, if we want to figure out what it really is, we have to ask your mother
about it. Let''s go there first. Maybe only your mother can tell us the truth."
Emily nodded. Since Daniel knew her mother, perhaps her mother really possessed some information.
When the two of them went to Abigail''s ce, Abigail happened to be at home.
But she was about to go out to buy some food. Seeing them, she called in pleasant surprise, "Why are
you here, Emily? Are you okay? I was so worried about you after you had left secretly the other day.
Finally, you are here again."
"Mom, I''m fine. Don''t worry." Emily quickly put her arm around her andforted her with a hug.
Abigail nodded happily when she heard that her daughter was fine. Then she nodded to Franklin
behind her as a way of greeting.
Emily added, "Mom, I came here because I got some real business with you. There are some things I

can''t sort through. I want to ask you about them."
"What''s the business? I really need to go shopping first! You two can have dinner here when I get back
with food. We''ll talk while eating. The food market is within walking distance. I''lle back in no time."
Abigail said.
Emily said, "No, no, no. I don''t have time to eat. I have to ask now. You can enjoy your shopping time
<pter! There''s something so significant that I want to know right now."
