Chapter 17 Sneaking Back to the Room at Midnight

Emily glanced at Scarlett, wondering why she used to be so scared of her. Now, she just saw Scarlett as a clueless socialite.

"Say something. Stop pretending. I never wanted Michael to marry you, and now I see I was right..." Before Scarlett could finish, Emily puked all over her. "Oh, crap! Emily, what the hell are you doing?" Scarlett jumped back, totally grossed out.

Emily wiped her mouth and gave a fake apology. "Sorry, I ate too much tonight and couldn't hold it in," she said with a casual smile. 'Yeah, I did it on purpose.'

"You just wait." Veda snapped, then helped the fuming Scarlett leave.

"Baby, you did great. You know they've all been bullying me, right?" Emily murmured softly, rubbing her belly with a gentle look in her eyes.

Scarlett had just left when Benjamin knocked on the door again. Emily was annoyed, feeling like it was never-ending.

"Mrs. Smith, you should go to the family chapel. Mr. Michael Smith refuses to take his medicine and is vomiting," Benjamin said, looking worried.

Emily didn't seem bothered and replied coolly, "Then call a doctor. Why come to me?" She didn't want to see him now. He had been so firm in his words, and she didn't want to seem desperate.

"Mrs. Smith, it was Mr. Michael Smith who asked me to call you. Please, just go to him. Mr. Michael Smith's back is badly injured, and Mr. Mason Smith was really harsh," Benjamin, who had watched Michael grow up, naturally felt sorry for him. Emily stayed unmoved. Benjamin knew they were getting a divorce and were still mad at each other.

"Benjamin, tell him that if he wants to die, then never take the medicine," Emily said coldly, closing the door.

Benjamin had no choice but to leave, shaking his head.

When Michael heard that Emily didn't want to see him, the pain in his back seemed to get worse. Trembling, he finished copying the family rules for the thirty-eighth time and then collapsed. Benjamin quickly helped him up. "Mr. Michael Smith, just admit your mistake and stop talking about divorce. Mr. Mason Smith won't punish you anymore. Don't be so stubborn."
