The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 90 Layers of Mist

Scarlett kept going, "You really think your grandpa's clueless? If I order fancy food, he'll think you made it?"

"And those folks in the kitchen, the gatekeepers, I gotta pay them off. I've spent a lot on you and your Daniel! Remember to pay me back!" she added.

Hearing this, Veda's mood soured instantly. She shoved Scarlett's arm away and stood up, disgusted. "All you care about is money! Do you really need to go to such lengths to deal with that Emily?" Of course, it was necessary!

Scarlett had been scheming for ages to deal with Emily. So Michael wouldn't be swayed by her, and Mason wouldn't always side with her. She'd still be the lady of the Smith family, without those lowly people around, and she could still enjoy family happiness with Michael and Veda!

Scarlett said, "What do you know? Just wait and see, you'll be impressed!"

Just then, Scarlett's phone buzzed. She unlocked the screen and glanced at the message.

Her face lit up with a smile, and her grin widened.

Veda asked, "Mom, what's up? Who messaged you? Is it Emily? Is she about to be ruined?"

As soon as Veda said this, Scarlett's eyes sparkled. She turned to Veda, excitedly saying, "No wonder they say mothers and daughters are connected at heart. Are you excited that soon no one will be competing with you for Daniel?" A scream shattered the quiet night.

From the direction of the guest room in the old mansion, the sound of a woman's desperate cries echoed, followed by hurried footsteps.

"Let go of me! Help, help! Michael, Michael!"

Hearing his name, Michael immediately quickened his pace and rushed into Emily's guest room.
