The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 124 Veda Sneaks Out

Michael figured Emily was here to talk about the divorce again. Or maybe she was here to stir up trouble about those online videos.

He wasn't in the best mood and just followed Emily out. Seeing her all anxious but not saying anything, Michael started to lose his cool. The confidence he had in front of the shareholders disappeared in an instant. Michael snapped, "Do you really have to come to me right now? Of course, you caught me again. Gotta keep pushing for that divorce, huh?"

Emily, confused by his sarcastic tone, frowned. "What are you talking about?"

Michael was taken aback. "Aren't you here to talk about the divorce? Didn't you see those online videos?"

What videos? Wasn't the divorce already settled? She only wanted that part of the property, not the house. Now she was just waiting for Andrew to transfer the money to her.

Turned out, the Smith Mansion didn't have internet yet, and because of some urgent stuff, Emily hadn't checked her phone or gone online. She rushed to Smith Corporation in a hurry. "Veda ran away," Emily said.

"Ran away? Where?" Michael was both amused and annoyed. One problem after another, seriously?

Emily said, "I don't know. The hospital called me, saying she was still there this morning, but when they went to change her dressing at noon, they found she was gone. She took all her toiletries and the clothes I brought her. I didn't dare tell Grandpa, afraid he'd worry even more, so I came to you first. Are you busy right now..."

As she asked this, Emily suddenly remembered how she had barged into the meeting room earlier, and the shareholders didn't seem too friendly towards her.

She felt a bit guilty and changed the subject. "Why don't you give me a car, and I'll go look for her. You can finish your work, and we'll talk later."
