The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 257 Mutual Suspicion

Michael leaned in and said, "Mr. Brown, I didn't come all this way just for a chat. I'm here to help you win this final round."

"Emily's been a real pain. During the divorce talks, she kept trying to grab more of the property. At first, I didn't care, thinking I didn't need all that stuff."

"But she's just greedy and keeps pushing. Mr. Brown, I've always thought it was wrong for her to demand the entire Brown family estate from you. Like my mom always said, family comes first, and she should be more considerate of you."

Michael's words hit Hayden right where it hurt.

Hayden immediately put on a pitiful look, and Evelyn, who was used to playing along, quickly chimed in. Seeing the drama unfold, Michael glanced over and noticed Sophia's uneasy expression.

Sophia had always been sharp, something Michael had only recently figured out.

He used to think Sophia was straightforward, but now he realized he had been the naive one.

Sophia was meticulous, and was a thousand times more cunning than Hayden. With Evelyn advising her from behind, years of scheming had made her very skilled. Michael knew that Sophia wouldn't believe him just based on a few words.

So, Michael took a deep breath and offered Hayden the most tempting deal. "Mr. Brown, I have proof that Emily was snooping around about the Brown family properties. You can use it to show the judge that Emily had bad intentions and broke ethical rules."

"Plus, all the Brown Corporation projects are handled by you. We all know how

business works. Emily has no right to mess with your work, especially since she doesn't own any shares in the Brown family."

"When I divorce her, I'll make sure she ends up with nothing and has no place to stay in Emerald City."
