The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 350 Drawing Boundaries

Emily was startled, but she had already been scared by Evelyn once before.

She quickly dodged Scarlett, who unexpectedly missed her target, stumbled, and fell to the ground. The knife in Scarlett's hand flew off to the side.

Scarlett hit her forehead, causing blood to trickle down her face. Having never seen blood before, she fainted from the shock.

Doctors and nurses rushed in and took Scarlett away.

The scene was chaotic. Some people had already heard the commotion and gathered at the door to watch, but Benjamin blocked them from entering.

Mason, seeing the situation, angrily pounded the table and shouted, "What did the Smith family do to deserve this kind of punishment?"

Veda was crying uncontrollably, while Michael remained expressionless. Emily, seeing the siblings' distress, quickly tried to calm Mason down. "Grandpa, please calm down. Scarlett has already been punished."

"This is punishment? It's not enough! Not nearly enough! Michael, you need to arrange for your mother to go abroad immediately! She needs to recover, and when she does, remove her from the Smith Corporation's board and transfer all her assets!"

Mason glanced at the sobbing Veda and added, "Leave her with only what she deserves. Don't let her have any unrealistic expectations!

"From now on, the Smith family will have nothing to do with her. If you two want to support her, that's your choice, but she is not to be brought back to the Smith Mansion! The Smith Mansion does not welcome her!"

Mason's words grew harsher. He made it clear that Scarlett was now only Michael and Veda's mother, no longer Alexander's wife. Though it made sense, Veda couldn't accept
