Rebirth of the Revenge Queen novel Chapter 26

"Seventeen years ago?" Emily blinked her eyes, "Things that happened before I was born?" If she remembered correctly, Jennifer divorced Franklin seventeen years ago, and something must have happened seventeen years ago.

"Yes, at that time, the White Group, which was your grandfather's company, went bankrupt for some reason. After that, your grandfather disappeared." Franklin explained.

"Then do I have an uncle or aunt?" Emily asked.

"You have two uncles who went missing with your grandfather." Franklin sighed, "That was seventeen years ago. Your engagement was made not long after I married your mother.

"Oh." Emily nodded.

"The person you met today was the children of two of your grandfather's good friends back then. The person you were engaged to was the son of Uncle Brown, and he was two years older than you, his name is Henry." Franklin continued to explain.

"Then I know." Emily said as she nodded. Then, as if she was probing something, she asked again, "Father, do I have to marry that Henry?"

"The Brown Family has always been a leading family in Country Z." Franklin did not directly answer Emily's question. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "We need the support of the Brown Family."

There was no moral kidnapping, no lies to persuade her. Instead, he directly told Emily, this was a political marriage.

"Why me?" Emily looked up at Franklin, "Father, is this the reason why you brought me back?"

"No." Franklin answered honestly, "Bringing you back has nothing to do with the engagement."

"I got it." Emily nodded.

"It's half past eight." Franklin looked at the time and said, "You should rest early."

"Okay, dad." Emily nodded her head, looking at the dress on the table, Emily added, "if you go out and meet a servant, please ask her to help me pick up a pair of scissors, right? I want to check the threads of my new clothes."

"Alright." Franklin nodded.

Not long after Franklin left, the maid walked in with a pair of scissors and closed the door.

Once the door closed, Emily's gaze became deeper.

Since it was not for the betrothal, then why did Franklin bring her back for? Why had her grandfather's company collapsed seventeen years ago? Where did her grandfather and uncles go?

Emily squinted her eyes. If she was not useful at all, Oliver would not have suddenly brought her back here. Then, what was the reason?

There must be something she didn't know about.

Thinking about that, Emily became more and more nervous.
