The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 232 The Overbearing CEO Lies

Scarlett said, "So, a few days ago, I went to this dinner party and met his cousin. He seems like a great match for Veda. If I get the chance, I want to introduce them. We could really with the Ward family. It'd be a win-win, right?" Scarlett was all smiles, lost in her own thoughts.

She didn't notice Michael's face had changed, and his hand gripping the pen was now showing veins. Just as she was about to speak again, Michael, who was working at his desk, suddenly cut her off. "Don't even think about it." Michael either stayed silent or shot down whatever was said.

Scarlett was confused. Was her son just born to oppose her?

But now Michael was running Smith Corporation and had a big say in the family. Besides Mason, Michael probably had the most power in the Smith family.

Scarlett sighed deeply, trying to avoid a fight with Michael, but she couldn't hold back and snapped, "I'm your mother, whether you like it or not! Michael, you might disagree on other things, but today, I'm doing this for your sister's good. Roger..."

Michael's face darkened instantly. He slammed the table and stood up, snapping at Scarlett. "For Veda's good? You're just causing trouble! You..."

Scarlett felt wronged. Where was this coming from?

Michael shot back, "You're only thinking about your own plans, trying to marry Veda into the Ward family. Do you even know what his cousin is like? And do you know what the Ward family has been up to lately?"

"The Ward family used to be cool with Dad, but now? They already hold ten percent of Smith Corporation's shares. Have you thought about what would happen if Veda married into that family? The Ward family's position in Smith Corporation would surpass everyone else's."

"I..." Michael's words left Scarlett completely stunned.

Yeah, she hadn't thought about that.

Did that mean she almost handed over Smith Corporation?

Scarlett was startled and quickly dismissed the idea of marrying Veda into the Ward family.

But she didn't want to back down in front of Michael.
