The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 228 Marital Strife

Sophia was always pushing Hayden's buttons.

But Hayden wasn't about to let her get away with it. He was ready to grab her and slap her again when Evelyn stepped in just in time. "Alright, hitting her a bit to blow off steam is one thing, but if you really hurt Sophia, people will laugh at you!"

Evelyn's words managed to cool Hayden down.

Seeing Evelyn being reasonable, Hayden decided not to argue with Sophia anymore.

He snorted twice, went home to grab some documents, and left Evelyn and her daughter standing there.

Evelyn wanted to check on Sophia's injuries and take the chance to teach her a lesson, making her understand the situation.

That way, Sophia wouldn't act recklessly.

Otherwise, if they really got kicked out, they'd have nowhere to cry.

Evelyn said, "Alright, stop whining! It's just a fight with your dad. Did you really catch him cheating, or do you have any proof? Don't jump to conclusions! You don't look like a lady from a wealthy family at all! Stop embarrassing me here. Go inside, wash your face, and then I'll..."

Before Evelyn could finish, Sophia pushed her away and snapped back. "Do you really think I'm your daughter? Can't you see I was standing up for you just now? But you turned around and sided with him. Luckily, I caught him today. What if I hadn't? You know, the Brown Villa isn't the only place with beds; Emerald City is full of hotels."

Evelyn, furious, said, "Shut up!"

Sophia's words were like poison.

Evelyn couldn't believe this was the daughter she had raised.

Sophia knew exactly where to hit her where it hurt the most.
