The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 204 Narrow Encounter

Mason said, "Alright, Veda, you head out first. I need to talk to Benjamin."

Mason always saw Veda as a kid and didn't want her tangled up in family drama. His main goal was to find her a good match and see her happily married off from the Smith family. They said the higher you climbed, the harder you fell.

Even though folks on the outside seemed eager, human nature being what it was, who wouldn't want to see the Smith family mess up?

Mason couldn't let that happen, so he had to make sure Veda didn't get weighed down by family issues. She needed to always feel proud of being a wealthy young lady.

But Veda didn't get it yet. She always thought Mason was indulging Benjamin.

As Michael's sister, she felt she had to stand up for Emily. "Grandpa, what's the big deal if I stay? You always send me away before I finish talking..."

"I'm asking you to go check on Michael at the hospital. Aren't you worried about him after he got hurt so bad?" Mason cut her off before she could finish.

After thinking it over, Veda reluctantly left the room.

But before she left, she couldn't help but glance at Benjamin.

She had always respected him, but what he did today was really thoughtless.

As soon as Veda left, Benjamin apologized to Mason. "Mr. Mason Smith, I know I didn't think this through, but I couldn't just watch Mr. Michael Smith and Mrs. Emily Smith break up, and the Smith family fall apart. You and I both know that Sophia is no good."

He hesitated, looking troubled. Mason understood his loyalty and difficulties.

Benjamin would certainly face criticism like Veda's for what he did.
