The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 242 Penelope Returns Home

"What did you just say? Michael's planning to sue the Brown family?" Emily was on the phone with Andrew, who had just told her that Michael had investigated the chandelier incident and pinned it on Sophia. She wasn't shocked; she knew Sophia was capable of such things.

But Michael actually wanted to sue the Brown family?

Considering how Michael had always defended Sophia before, Emily was completely floored.

Andrew tried to reassure her, "Mrs. Smith, don't worry. Mr. Smith is only suing Sophia's family; it doesn't affect you."

Andrew's words only made Emily more confused.

Sophia had done plenty of awful things before, but Michael either didn't notice or chose to ignore them. This time, though, he was making a huge statement in Emerald City.

From now on, anyone wanting to cozy up to Smith Corporation would probably steer clear of Brown Corporation.

Brown Corporation's stock took a nosedive, and the first to freak out was Hayden.

Sure enough, as soon as Emily hung up, Hayden called.

Seeing "Dad" on her screen, Emily sighed. She hesitated for a bit but finally answered, her voice cold. "Hello."

Emily knew Hayden only called when he was in trouble.

Just like now, with Michael suing Brown Corporation, Hayden figured playing the victim with Emily was his best shot.

"Emily, what's going on? Can you talk to Michael for me? I didn't do anything, but I'm taking all the heat. Emily, I'm old, and I can't handle this kind of stress. A lawsuit? That would be the end of Brown Corporation. Do you really want to see your mother's hard work go down the drain?"

Hayden's pitiful tone didn't move Emily at all.
