The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 259 I Have a Witness

Emily paused for a moment, then answered seriously, "Both, I guess."

Isabella felt a sudden pang of heartache and helplessness. She couldn't imagine the timid, submissive life Emily had endured at the Smith Mansion the Brown Villa while she was in a coma. The cold treatment she must have faced was unimaginable.

Right then, Isabella made a firm decision. She was determined to protect Emily and make those who had wronged her pay back double.

"Emily, I won't blame you. You're an adult now, you have your own judgment, and you have the right to pursue your own happiness. As for the divorce with Michael, I won't interfere. If you want to leave, then leave. If you want to stay, then stay. No one can interfere with your decision, not even Michael. Only you can make this decision, okay?" Isabella's words were sincere and heartfelt.

Emily felt a weight lift off her shoulders, as if a dark corner of her heart had been suddenly illuminated. In this world, only Isabella cared so much about her thoughts, about what she wanted and what she did.

"Thank you, Mom." With that, Emily threw herself into Isabella's warm embrace, starting to act spoiled, to laugh and talk, to be herself like a child without any reservations.

The hospital room, which should have been filled with the smell of disinfectant, seemed suddenly filled with the scent of lilies from the bedside table.

Time flew by, and the day of the final trial arrived quickly. That day, Emily wore a black coat, her hair tied up in a simple low bun, and black patent leather high heels with sparkling rhinestones. With exquisite makeup and a strong presence, she was the first to appear in the courtroom.

Sophia and Evelyn, sitting in the audience, were momentarily stunned when they saw her walk in gracefully.

"Why is she dressed like that?" Sophia asked nervously, recalling Michael's strange behavior that day.

Evelyn, still confident of victory, scoffed and mocked, "Why else? She knows she can't win, so she's trying to intimidate people with her appearance. Isn't it obvious? Anyone can put on a facade, but only real skills can win!"
