The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 202 The Night of Drugging

It was the same evening, and Emily made her way back to the Smith Mansion.

Abigail was still tied up with work, so Emily had to grab a cab on her own.

The Smith Mansion was pretty out of the way, so it took a few tries before she finally got a ride.

By the time she arrived, she was already feeling a bit worn out. Lexine was the one who answered the door.

Lexine looked surprised to see her. "Mrs. Smith? What brings you back?"

"Isn't today..." Lexine hesitated, clearly remembering the argument from earlier.

Emily figured Benjamin hadn't told anyone she was coming back tonight. She was about to be out of the Smith family anyway, so there wasn't much point in making a big deal out of it.

"I'm here to see Grandpa," Emily said, keeping her tone polite but distant.

Lexine looked puzzled. "Mrs. Smith, you came at a bad time. Mr. Mason Smith and Ms. Veda Smith went out for dinner. He was in a bad mood after what happened earlier, so Ms. Veda Smith took him out to cheer him up. But Benjamin's in the backyard, you can go find him."

Seeing Benjamin would work too. Maybe Mason had given him the item.

After the blow-up earlier, Mason was probably too mad to see her anyway.

"Alright, I'll head to the backyard. Thanks, Lexine," Emily said, her voice gentle and pleasant, making Lexine smile.

"No problem, Mrs. Smith!" Lexine replied.

A little while later, there was another knock at the door.

Lexine opened it again to find Michael standing there.
