The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 255

Chapter 255 Joining Forces Again

Scarlett was caught off guard by Veda's sudden outburst.

Lately, Veda had been more obedient and sensible, so this was a real curveball for Scarlett.

But then it clicked for her. Veda was her daughter, after all, and she had inherited her fiery spirit.

She'd only been playing nice because of the situation, but deep down, she was still the same strong-willed, stubborn girl. Being overlooked in the Smith family made her competitive, especially for things that weren't hers to begin with.

Scarlett said, "When did I ever say men are more reliable than daughters?"

Veda shot back, "Don't twist my words. I'm talking about Michael. You think my brother is more reliable than me."

Scarlett replied, "That's nonsense. It's your grandfather who thinks that way. In old- school families, men are the heirs, and women are just for marriage, managing the house, and raising kids. Those are outdated ideas, Veda, you can't..."

"Mom." Veda cut her off before she could finish.

Her expression was sour, and her tone was dripping with sarcasm. "Michael and I are grown-ups now. We're not as gullible as before. You don't need to try so hard to shut me up. I know Grandpa wants Michael to be the heir."

"But I heard that you're still looking for a marriage partner for me, and you even went to the company to tell my brother to stop finding teachers for me, so I can't study for an MBA."

Scarlett was momentarily speechless, unable to deny it.

Seeing this, Veda smirked, put down her wine glass, and looked at Scarlett again. "Mom, everyone in this family knows what you're up to. You're our mom, and of course, we'll support and take care of you. But if you want to mess with our lives, sorry, you don't have that right."
