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? I heard you're pretty chummy with Bryan's mom!"

Scarlett's tone dripped with sarcasm and disdain.

She leaned in closer, eyes full of malice. "So, you planning to marry into the Watson family next? Think the Smiths are dead? Or maybe you think I'm dead? Doing whatever you want without a second thought?" Yep, Scarlett hadn't changed a bit.
