The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 179 Comforting Penelope

The Watson Mansion, out on the balcony.

Penelope stared at the gloomy sky, trying to ignore the man behind her who kept begging. "Let's get a divorce."

"Enough! Haven't you upset Mom enough already? Richard, why is it that every time you come back, the whole Watson family goes into chaos? Why do you have to bring this up when Bryan is home? Why do you have to humiliate me in front of everyone?" Penelope couldn't hold it in any longer and snapped at him.

The man, Richard, was Bryan's father and also a friend of Michael's dad.

Richard was hardly ever in Emerald City because most of the Watson family's businesses were overseas. The small part that was local was managed by Mabel. Plus, the Smith family ruled the market, so the Watson family's business had been stuck in a rut for years.

Their business wasn't as successful as the Smith family's, and neither was their son.

Richard was super jealous because of this.

Now, the only thing he could compare with the Smith family was his complete family of three.

But why did he suddenly want to divorce Penelope?

It was because Richard's mistress abroad had a kid.

Richard had checked the kid's gender; it was a boy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to come back.

He came back just to register his illegitimate son's identity, so he could claim to have an heir in the future.

Richard shot back, "Humiliate you? Penelope, all these years, who has been humiliated?"

Feeling justified, Richard yelled at Penelope. "I told you ages ago to give up the business in Marigoldia and come with me to Phoenixia. How can I manage the Watson family's huge business alone? But you! You refused to go! You went to Marigoldia!"

Listening to this, Penelope couldn't help but find Richard ridiculous.

Penelope said, "Do you think I went to Marigoldia just for myself? Bryan is in Marigoldia, and so is my mom. Business is important, but I'm also taking care of my family!"
