The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 269 Scarlett's Accusation

Benjamin said, "Mrs. Smith, let me give you a hand. How much did you bring back? Must've been tough for you."

Seeing Emily return with a trunk full of stuff, Benjamin quickly called for some help.

Emily replied, "Oh, it's nothing, Benjamin. I just picked up a few things. Just get someone to handle it. By the way, I got two boxes of premium supplements for Grandpa. It's getting colder, so make sure he has some at night to keep warm." Emily's thoughtfulness and care for Mason were truly admirable.

Benjamin felt grateful that Mason had seen her true worth and regretted the foolish things he had done to keep Emily. He was overwhelmed with mixed emotions and didn't know how to respond.

"Mrs. Smith, come inside. It's freezing out here."

Emily nodded and headed towards the Smith Mansion's entrance.

Ever since she won the lawsuit and visited Mason with Isabella, the servants at the Smith Mansion had become even more attentive. Their attitude towards her had completely changed; they offered her slippers, made her hot milk, and eagerly wanted to help her cleaning out her room and prepare lunch.

Emily said, "Lunch is fine, just make it to Grandpa's taste. As for cleaning out the room... no need, I won't be staying."

Just as she finished speaking, a servant was about to respond.

But unbeknownst to her, someone was already standing on the staircase behind her. Emily turned around abruptly and saw Scarlett staring at her coldly. "Yeah, she has plenty of places to stay. Why bother staying here?"

The servant scurried away, leaving Scarlett and Emily alone in the living room.

Emily looked at Scarlett, noticing that she was still impeccably dressed, adorned with jewelry, and even her seemingly ordinary plush long dress was the latest limited edition.

Despite this, Emily still felt a twinge of sadness.

She felt sorry for Scarlett.
