The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 359 The Rumors

Emily was swamped with work.

Meanwhile, the Smith family had their own drama unfolding.

As soon as Mason got out of the hospital, he was dead set on kicking Scarlett out of Emerald City. This woman was nothing but trouble, and just hearing her name gave him a headache.

But Scarlett hadn't divorced Michael's dad, Alexander. Technically, she was still the mistress of the Smith family, which meant she still had a place in the family.

Scarlett eventually caught on to this and decided to confront Mason directly. She had nothing to lose. The Smith family cared about their reputation more than anything, so she planned to make a huge scene.

She figured if things got messy, it would cause chaos and even tank Smith Corporation's stock.

With that in mind, Scarlett started screaming at the top of her lungs throughout the Smith Mansion. "How dare you! I've given my blood, sweat, and tears to the Smith family for years, and this is how you repay me? Mason, if you hated me so much, why didn't you let us divorce when your son was on his deathbed?

"You dragged me into widowhood and made me raise two kids alone. Now that they're successful, you want to kick me out of the family. How heartless can you be?

"I raised heirs for the Smith family. Do you think that was easy? Now you're forcing my kids to disown me and trying to erase me from the family records. Your son would never agree to this if he knew in the afterlife!"

Scarlett knew exactly what to say. She blamed Mason for everything and claimed she had raised Michael herself.
