The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 344 One Last Favor

'What does Mason mean by that? Could it be that he knows who poisoned him?' Emily wondered.

Emily had heard Isabella mention that it was all Scarlett's doing. But Isabella also pointed out that the Smith family was a nest of vipers, and that keeping the peace was more important than justice.

That's why Scarlett and Veda got away with so much-Mason and Michael turned a blind eye to it all.

Isabella had said that if she had known the true nature of the Smith family, she would never have let Emily marry into it.

But Emily didn't know how to explain it to Isabella.

She loved Michael.

She loved Michael more than she loved herself, and she didn't care about these things.

But back then, she was young and didn't understand how suffocating this cage could be. Now, trying to escape it had nearly cost her her life.

Mason observed Emily's contemplation and her shock.

He continued to explain, "Scarlett wanted me dead. She started by poisoning my food, but your mother caught on. I pretended not to believe it, but I had Benjamin investigate."

"After that, I acted like nothing happened. A few days later, Scarlett couldn't hold back anymore. I decided to take a risk and drank the poisoned soup.

"I only drank a little, so the poisoning wasn't severe, and I could be saved. But this incident exposed Scarlett. As expected, Benjamin told me everything.

"Scarlett dismissed all my loyal servants and sent Benjamin to the backyard to pull weeds. She even wanted to use my study for a birthday party. Veda tried to stop her, but it was you who finally convinced her."

Mason knew even this.
