The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 158 Moving Back to Emerald Lake Manor

Michael didn't beat around the bush and brought up Smith Corporation. Evelyn, of course, had nothing more to add.

After all, Smith Corporation was one of the top dogs in Emerald City. If they went under, Brown Corporation might as well throw in the towel on business battles!

Seeing Michael being so cutthroat, Sophia was fuming. She never thought all her hard work would blow up in her face like this.

In a flash, anger took over. "Michael, are you really gonna ditch me? Is it because of what people are saying, or is it that bitch Emily?"

"Come on, be straight with me. Have you fallen for her? What about me? Brown Corporation has been in bed with you for years, and I've loved you with everything I've got. Now you wanna brush me off with a few words?" Sophia stood up, yanking the glucose drip out and letting it crash to the floor.

But even then, Michael could see she was full of energy, her face glowing, even crying with such intensity.

He seriously doubted if she was the one who tried to off herself. Or, like Emily said, was this all a big act by her and her mom?

Seeing he wasn't buying it, she got desperate and showed her true colors. "No way! Michael, you can't just dump me like this. I need an explanation!"

An explanation? Michael hated it when people demanded explanations from him.

If everyone came to him for answers and fairness, then who should he, who grew up without parental love and built Smith Corporation on his own, ask for an explanation?

Michael replied, "If Brown Corporation doesn't want to work with Smith Corporation, tell Hayden to come see me and terminate the contract."
