The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 166 Hayden Shows Goodwill

Sophia snapped back, "You think I wanted to lose him? This is all your fault! If you had taken care of Emily earlier, Michael would be mine by now!"

Evelyn was so furious she couldn't even speak, watching Sophia get more and more hysterical.

Just then, Hayden stormed in from outside the hospital room and slapped Sophia hard across the face. He had rushed over from the office, thinking Sophia was seriously ill and had been worried sick. But hearing her rant outside the door was the last thing he expected.

Hayden wasn't exactly fond of Emily, but he knew her current status in high society. Meanwhile, Sophia was just playing the sympathy card, hoping Michael would feel sorry for her. But what happened? Michael brushed her off and made it clear they were done.

When Hayden got wind of this, he, always the one to weigh pros and cons, thought about his own interests and those of Brown Corporation. If one daughter was useless, there was always the other. As long as his interests were safe, they were all good daughters to him.

Hayden scolded, "You're useless! Evelyn is right. If you can't even keep Michael's heart, then what's the point? It'd be better to let Emily come back. She's soft-hearted and might take care of us in our old age, and maybe even show you some mercy for my sake!"

Mercy? Hayden's words cut deep into Sophia's heart. She could never tolerate Emily coming back to the Brown Villa. They weren't sisters; they were enemies who couldn't coexist.

Sophia, seething with anger, said, "No way! Only one of us can stay in the Brown Villa!"

Evelyn felt helpless seeing Sophia so determined. But honestly, Emily wasn't her biological daughter. Even if she was successful now, she might not take care of her in old age. Sophia was her real daughter, but if she couldn't even win Michael's heart, how could she take care of her?
