The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 222 Old Memories

Roger was the first to leave, trying to keep his pride intact.

Alice couldn't stick around and inconvenience Michael and Emily any longer, so she quickly grabbed the embarrassed Luna. "Sorry, Michael, we gotta go. Emily, I'm really sorry."

But Luna, still clueless, yelled out, "Alice, are you nuts? Why are you apologizing to them? They should be the ones saying sorry. They owe us..."

"Shut up!" Alice cut her off, dragging her away and vanishing into the crowd.

The conference room was left in an awkward silence.

Emily took a deep breath. Seeing that Michael still wasn't letting her go, she gave a couple of coughs.

Michael snapped out of it and quickly released her hand.

With a weary smile, he said, "It's okay now."

Emily knew Michael was just trying to make her feel better.

The Ward family was circling them like vultures. Except for Alice, everyone seemed to have a bone to pick with the Smith family. And what debts has The Smith Corporation not settled yet?
