The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 215 Blood Relations Couldn't Be Erased

"Can you break it down for me?" Scarlett's voice was icy cold.

Emily froze for a second, then Scarlett kept going. "What's the deal with you and Bryan staying up together in the dead of night? Why'd he bring you back? Emily, I seriously underestimated you. You even managed to get Bryan, that ice king! I didn't think you'd still be so shameless. What's the plan? Not happy with the Smiths, so you're moving on to the Watsons?
