The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 96 A Big Commotion at the Old Mansion

Hearing Michael's question, Scarlett felt a bit embarrassed.

She often had to put on a show of apologizing to Michael for neglecting his childhood due to her youthful ignorance, then lamenting the difficulties of being a single mother. But today, she really brought this upon herself!

Frightened, Scarlett quickly waved her hand to explain.

"Michael, I wasn't talking about you! We are family. I love you the most."

In the end, Scarlett felt too embarrassed to continue.

Seeing that her words were making things worse, Scarlett's face grew even more uncomfortable.

And Mason was getting a headache from her words.

But since she was already part of the Smith family, they couldn't drive her away or wake her up with scolding, so avoiding her was the best strategy.

"I'm tired, I'll go rest in my room. Handle this person yourself, just don't hit or scold her anymore. It would really tarnish the Smith family's reputation if word got out!" With that, Mason leaned on his cane and went upstairs.

Scarlett nodded eagerly behind him, agreeing to everything.

Only when there was no more noise from upstairs did she breathe a sigh of relief, straightened her back, and assumed the posture of the Smith family's matriarch. Having fooled Mason, she didn't need to act so submissive in front of Michael.

After all, he was still thinking about taking her shares!

What an ungrateful child!

"Alright, get out of here, pack your things and leave! Don't be an eyesore in front of me!"

After yelling at the maid, Scarlett rolled her eyes and didn't plan to pay more attention to Michael.

Instead, she was going upstairs to rest, as she had a romantic candlelight dinner date with a male model.
