Chapter 333 A War of Words

Scarlett's words cut like knives, each one sharper than the last. Emily could barely stand it, but she had no choice but to endure it. Scarlett was her elder, after all.

Scarlett kept pushing, then leaned in close, giving Emily a once-over. Seeing Emily's defiant look, Scarlett twisted her face into a cold sneer before she raised her hand and slapped Emily.

Emily's cheek burned red and throbbed with pain.

Her thoughts shattered in that instant, leaving her feeling utterly humiliated.

But Emily wasn't surprised. In fact, she found it almost laughable.

This was the inevitable outcome of her relationship with Michael. She was always the one who got hurt, always the one in the wrong, while Michael seemed to glide through life unscathed.

Thinking about this, Emily let out a faint, bitter laugh, which only fueled Scarlett's tirade.

"I knew it! You scheming woman, always trying to ruin Michael and the Smith family!

"Now look at this mess. Michael's already struggling to keep the Smith family afloat, and he still has to cover for you, dragging Smith Corporation into crisis and costing us a fortune! Emily, do you even have a conscience?"

Hearing this, Emily closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She felt a stinging pain at the corner of her mouth and realized she was bleeding. She wiped it away, confirming it was blood.

The sight of the bright red blood was a stinging reminder.

The longer she stared at it, the more entranced she became.

Was she just looking at the blood? Emily didn't think so. She was looking at her shattered relationship.
