The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 223 More Trouble

After Roger took off, Michael had to overhaul the whole security setup at Smith Corporation.

Roger could waltz into Smith Corporation and stir up trouble because his face was still in the system as a major shareholder. The security guards, worried about their jobs, didn't dare to stop him.

But this time, the president ordered Roger's name to be completely wiped from the facial recognition system.

Basically, if he showed up again and got stopped at the door, it would mean a total fallout with the Smith family.

All those old feelings would mean squat.

Of course, Michael didn't want it to come to this.

Roger was his dad's best buddy when he was alive, even closer than Richard. But who would've thought that as soon as his dad passed away, his best friend would stab him in the back so ruthlessly? And even after more than a decade, he'd come back to mess with Smith Corporation again, not caring about its future or reputation.

But then Emily brought up a good point.

As sisters, why was Alice, who was dating Bryan, under such tight security, while Luna could come and go from bars as she pleased? Judging by Roger's shocked look, he had no clue. Michael just chuckled. "Actually, their security is equally tight. It's just that Luna is sneakier, while Alice is more of a rule-follower. By the way, you don't know Alice's original name, do you?" "No, I don't," Emily admitted.

She'd always been curious about the bubbly girl who shared her interests and what her real name was.

Michael said, "Her name is Alice Ward. Luna is Luna Ward." Beautiful names, for sure.

"Then why did they change their last names?" Emily wondered.

Michael explained, "Back then, foreign culture was all the rage, and Roger was the type to chase after any benefit to maximize his gains. The idea of moving abroad was probably part of that. He wanted his daughters to soak up foreign culture and get an overseas education..."
