The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 152 The Mistress of the Smith Family

"Hey, remember, don't bother Veda unless it's really necessary. Make sure there's plenty of food and drinks for her, just in case she needs anything. Oh, and I replaced all her toiletries with new ones. It's been a while, and some of them might've expired."

At the Smith Mansion, Emily was giving instructions to Lexine and the others.

Mason stood off to the side, nodding along, secretly impressed by how well Emily was fitting into the Smith family. She was really starting to take on the role of the family matriarch.

But then he glanced over at Veda, who was lying on the bed, silently sobbing and trembling. Mason felt completely lost.

This was his eldest granddaughter, the one he'd spoiled since she was a kid. How could she have been kidnapped, almost had her reputation destroyed, and nearly lost her life? Was there really such a powerful criminal force in Emerald City that could just ignore the law like that?

"Veda, you need to tell me everything, or how am I supposed to find the culprit?" Mason said, stomping his cane in frustration.

But Veda had just been through a terrifying ordeal. If Michael hadn't shown up in time, she might have been seriously hurt by the criminal.

Right now, Veda's eyes were filled with fear, and she looked at everyone with a hint of suspicion.

On the way home, it was Emily's constant comforting that helped. Otherwise, who knew what might have happened.

Seeing Mason pressuring Veda, Emily quickly stepped in. "Grandpa, Veda's been through a lot. Let her rest for now. As for the criminal, hasn't he already been caught? Don't worry, we will..." Before Emily could finish, Mason cut her off.
