The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 254

Chapter 254 Killing Two Birds with One Stone

Emily, seeing the situation, could only slump back down by the hospital bed, feeling pretty helpless.

It wasn't until Isabella took her hand that she finally let out what she'd been holding in. "Mom, you won't believe how outrageous Sophia was today."

Emily quickly spilled the beans about Sophia's plan to team up and frame Hayden.

Isabella, hearing this, didn't seem all that surprised.

Having been through a lot, Isabella knew Sophia's little schemes were no big deal, not even close to a real business battle.

Luckily, Emily didn't take her seriously, which made Isabella feel a lot better.

Isabella said, "Sophia is Evelyn's kid. Like mother, like daughter, right? You don't need to get too worked up, and definitely don't feel sorry for your dad."

Hearing this, Emily looked up at Isabella and said firmly, "Mom, I don't..."

Isabella smiled, still holding Emily's hand. "He's your biological father. You've called him dad for over twenty years. It's natural to feel sorry for him, but it's not necessary anymore. Have you thought about why Sophia came to you and said those things? "Isn't she scared that if Hayden finds out and wins, she won't be able to go home? Sophia's pretty sharp. She's trying to kill two birds with one stone."

Emily was shocked and surprised.

How did Isabella figure out Sophia's plan from her story?

Isabella explained slowly, "Sophia only pretended to cooperate with you. If you agreed, she'd run to Hayden and spill the beans. She'd play both sides, fooling you both, and just wait for the outcome.

"No matter who wins or loses, she'd benefit. She'd get a little from you and a lot from your dad. It's a win-win for her. Don't you think she's smart?"

So that's how it was... Emily knew Sophia wasn't that kind-hearted.

Isabella added, "It's good you didn't agree with her. But we don't need her help anyway. Emily, don't worry. With me here, you'll definitely win the final trial."
