The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 177 The Haunting Spirit

Michael and Emily spotted Wayne, and man, he looked way more worn out than when they first met him.

Well, who wouldn't be down in the dumps being stuck in a place like this? He brought it on himself, totally deserved it!

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.

Wayne said, "You're pretty, but being with a blind coward like him is a waste."

Emily was totally caught off guard by that.

"What the hell did you just say?" Michael was fuming, and if it weren't for the glass between them, he would've lunged at Wayne and knocked him out. "Enough, Michael!" Emily quickly stopped him and turned back to Wayne, glaring.

To her, this guy had no reason to kidnap Veda and go after Michael if he didn't have some beef with them. It just didn't add up!

Could there be more to this story?

But let me be clear, you kidnapped Veda, so you must've looked into the Smith family, right? If you know how powerful the Smiths are in Emerald City, you should know your days are numbered." "As long as you keep messing with the Smith family, we'll keep coming after you, Wayne. And if you called us here just to say this crap, then you're really pathetic.
