The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 28 Taking You Out for Steak

Sophia shot daggers at Emily, then turned her glare to Abigail, looking like she wanted to rip them both apart.

"Who the hell are you?" The woman who got hit, the Wright Family's daughter, was now glaring at Abigail. Abigail just smiled sweetly. "Why should I tell you?"

Emily couldn't help but chuckle. While everyone else looked annoyed, she was pretty pleased with herself.

"Emily, don't get too cocky. Even if you followed us here today, Michael won't even look your way. He didn't even invite you, and you still had the guts to show up." Sophia tried to keep her cool but couldn't help mocking Emily. Seeing Sophia was dead set on causing trouble, Emily decided to play along.

"Really? I'm the Smith Family's hostess. Do I need an invite to go anywhere? With the title of Mrs. Smith, where can't I go? But can you?" Emily's words touched a nerve, and Sophia's face twisted in anger.

The other ladies around Sophia, hearing that Emily was the Smith Family's hostess, quickly shut their mouths.

Sophia spotted Michael coming over and a sly look crossed her face. She grabbed Emily's hand, playing her old tricks.

"Emily, I'm sorry. I won't say anything more. Please forgive me." Then she leaned in close and whispered, "Emily, who do you think Michael will side with this time?"

Before Sophia could react, Emily let go, throwing herself backwards as if being pushed. Just then, Michael arrived and caught her.
