Chapter 34 Sarcasm

Michael took a moment to think, then stepped back a bit. He grabbed a tissue from the table and handed it to her. "You don't need to quit; I'll handle this." "Michael, no, the headquarters of Moonlit Treasures will be unhappy with you." Sophia kept crying, and Michael just pulled her into his arms.

"Hey, don't worry about it. I'll take care of everything. Just take some time off, rest up, and come back when you're ready," Michael said, trying to comfort her.

With red eyes, Sophia sobbed, "Michael, I don't want to go home. My parents are fighting, and they take it out on me. I can't stand it. My dad says Emily wants the whole Brown Corporation, and my mom cries every day. I feel like I can't breathe at home. I'm so tired."

Michael frowned. "Why does Emily want the Brown Corporation? What's it got to do with her?"

Sophia looked at him, feeling both upset and helpless. "She wants to use the condition of divorcing you to get the Brown Corporation from my dad. My dad had to agree for my sake; they just need to sign the papers."

Michael laughed coldly, his tone icy. "She thinks she can use me and your dad as bargaining chips? She's delusional." He'd see about that.

Sophia was stunned. 'Does Michael not want a divorce?' She couldn't help but ask, "Michael, will you agree to divorce her?" Michael didn't answer, just comforted her a bit more. "Rest up at home for the next few days. If you need anything, just use my card."

Sophia wanted to say this was all a setup by Emily to frame her, but she was scared Michael would ask questions and even more scared he'd dig into the past, so she kept quiet.
