The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 92 For the Closest Person

Sophia wasn't clueless; she knew Michael was in no mood to deal with anyone right now. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ignored all those calls.

Luckily, today's visit wasn't a total bust; she got some good news. Her spirits lifted, and she whistled a happy tune on her way home.

Hayden and Evelyn were chilling, watching TV. Seeing Sophia so upbeat, Evelyn quickly got up and asked, "Did you see Michael? Why are you so happy? What did he say? Did he give you any money? Don't let him take advantage of you for nothing. Make sure to bring back some cash for the household!"

Sophia, annoyed by Evelyn's narrow-mindedness, shook her head and took off her diamond earrings. "Mom, are you that desperate for money? Why do you always talk about money? When I marry Michael, do you think we'll still be short on cash? We'll have more than we can spend. If you keep worrying about a little money now, people will really look down on us!"

Evelyn knew her daughter well; she knew Sophia was a proud person. But when the day came that she couldn't fill her stomach, that pride would dissipate like a wisp of smoke, serving no purpose at all.

Thinking of this, Evelyn anxiously sat on the bed and said to Sophia, "You don't understand! Emily has approached your father. She is asking him for all the shares of Brown Corporation! You're not worried now, fine. But if that wretch really takes all the shares, we'll end up homeless!"

What! Sophia's good mood was shattered by Evelyn's words. 'Emily again! That persistent wretch! When will she stop disrupting my life and taking everything from me!' she thought.

"She's dreaming! Who does she think she is, an illegitimate daughter of the Brown family? How could she take all of Dad's shares?" As she cursed, Sophia seemed to think of something and exclaimed, startling Hayden. "What are you screaming about in the middle of the night? I have a meeting tomorrow!" Hayden grumbled.
