The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 177 The Haunting Spirit

Michael kept a straight face when he saw Wayne, 'cause it just reminded him of all the crap Veda went through.

Emily, though, stayed cool. She was the first to speak up. "You've already confessed, so why'd you call us here?"

Wayne slowly lifted his head, staring at Emily with this creepy smirk that made her skin crawl.
