The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 78 Plotting the Car Accident

Emily was still reeling from Michael's words. She kept replaying his gentle, caring tone in her head. It was something she had always dreamed of, but now, it just didn't make her happy. There were too many problems between them. She took a deep breath, remembering that Michael said he'd come over for dinner tonight. That thought made her feel a bit better.

After a night out at the club, Sophia had way too much to drink. The next day, she went to the Smith Corporation to find Michael, but he wasn't there. She bumped into Andrew as he was coming out of the elevator. "Where's Mr. Smith?" Sophia asked.

Andrew replied, "Mr. Smith went to the hospital to see Mrs. Smith this morning."

Sophia's face twisted with anger. "He hasn't come back yet?"

Andrew shook his head.

Sophia left, feeling dazed. Was this really the end for her and Michael? Sitting in her white car, she didn't bother turning on the lights, letting the darkness consume her. She felt like she was about to lose control. Her face contorted with rage. "Damn Emily, Michael is mine. You'll never take him away from me." With that thought, a crazy idea popped into her head. She started the car and sped out of the garage.

The night wind whipped past her ears as Sophia drove, her eyes filled with malice and hatred. The thought of Michael being with Emily drove her mad.

At first, everything seemed normal, but as she took a sharp turn, her vision darkened. She yanked the steering wheel, causing the car to veer off the road and crash into the guardrail. The impact threw her forward, only to be yanked back by the seatbelt.
