The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 149 Rescue

"Grandpa..." Michael started to explain to Mason.

But Mason cut him off with a wave of his hand. "Go find her, search all night! Find Veda for me immediately, or don't bother coming back to the Smith Mansion!"

Mason's order was final. He didn't give them a chance to argue and headed upstairs with his cane.

Even as he went upstairs, Mason wasn't planning to rest. He told Benjamin to get the phone numbers of Veda's friends and call them one by one to find out when she was last seen. Emily turned to Michael. "Grandpa's serious. Let's get moving. We'll start with the places Veda's been to recently. We'll split up and keep in touch by phone."

Emily knew arguing was pointless. It was strange for Veda to disappear like this. They needed to find her first, then figure out the rest.

"Emily, I'll go with you," Daniel suddenly said.

Daniel knew Emily was pregnant and wanted to be there for her. Finding Veda was important, but so was keeping Emily and the baby safe. But saying this in front of Michael? That was a mistake. Michael snapped, "Daniel, aren't you overstepping?"

Michael's pent-up anger exploded. His eyes were fierce, something Emily had never seen before. It was like all his emotions were pouring out at once.

But Daniel didn't care. He thought Michael wasn't right for Emily. Even now, Michael was more concerned about his status than his sister's safety. How could someone like that be worthy of a lifelong commitment? "What did I do? Veda's missing, and you're not looking for her. Emily's not well, and you're not taking care of her. I'm helping you, is that so wrong?" Daniel's words only fueled the tension.

Emily, caught in the middle, finally lost it. "Enough! If you two want to argue, do it outside. Don't disturb Grandpa!"
