The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 238 Completely Severed Ties

"Scarlett, are you serious right now?" Emily couldn't bring herself to call Scarlett "Mom" anymore.

She cut straight to the point. "I've been covering all my mom's medical bills myself. It has nothing to do with you or Michael. The money I spend is what I earn. And whatever Michael gave me, that's just the divorce settlement." "Your son is right here. Ask him if I've ever asked for extra money. Let's clear this up face to face, so you can stop spreading lies."

"And by the way, your son got hurt because of me, so I'll take care of him until he's better. But you, as his mother, have you even shown any concern since you walked in?"

"I'm not trying to bring up Michael's past, but in the three years I was married to him, I've seen this over and over. When have you ever done more than just say a few words? When have you ever really cared about him?" Emily's words left Scarlett feeling completely ashamed. She wanted to snap back but didn't know where to start.

Because everything Emily said was true.

When Michael was young, Scarlett was all about having fun.

She was tired of the marriage her family arranged and had no feelings for Michael's dad. If it weren't for the Smith family's money, she wouldn't have had kids with him.

She thought that a child who wasn't conceived out of love didn't deserve her special care.

So, she didn't pay much attention to Michael after he was born.

She handed him off to the nanny and partied non-stop, never coming home sober.

And Michael's dad, always busy with work, didn't care about Scarlett's behavior.

There was no real love between them.

The Smith family didn't expect much from Scarlett either. As long as she had kids, the more, the better.
