The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 154 Return to Smith Corporation

The phone clicked off, and Emily couldn't shake the uneasy feeling. With Andrew's wedding coming up, Michael was left in a bind. Meanwhile, Veda and Mason in the Smith Mansion also needed looking after. What was she supposed to do? "Emily." Just as she was feeling lost, Veda's voice came from behind her.

She turned to see Veda in her pajamas, looking right at her.

It had been five days since Veda came back home. In that time, she saw how Emily took care of her with such attention, providing the best food and clothes, even better than her own mom used to. Veda couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. Thinking back, she and Scarlett had ganged up. Even if Veda didn't always join in, she had silently approved of Scarlett's nasty actions towards Emily.

Now, guilt washed over her like a tidal wave, impossible to ignore. "Is Michael really busy over there? I haven't been in touch with the outside world much, but I've heard some things about Smith Corporation." "Michael wronged you, and everyone in the Smith family knows it. Even if you put on a brave face and act like everything's fine for our sake, I know you're not happy inside."

Women got each other. Veda had only seen a few things but could already tell Emily's inner turmoil. Emily felt a deep sadness, her lips quivering, wanting to speak but holding back.

Veda went on, "Emily, I'm okay, and Grandpa's okay too. Benjamin's looking after him. Don't worry, I won't run away this time. I've thought it through. I'm twenty-three now, and living aimlessly isn't a solution." "Grandpa's right. Once we catch the real culprit and the Smith family gets through this crisis, I should go abroad, change my environment, and start fresh."

Saying this, Veda walked over to Emily. In five days, the one who needed comforting had become the comforter. She continued, "You should start fresh too. Emily, I support you. After this, you should divorce Michael." Emily, always one to take action, had been troubled at home in the morning but showed up at Smith Corporation in the afternoon to fill in for Andrew.
