The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 378 Could Never Let Go

Meanwhile, Veda slammed the phone down in frustration.

Michael hadn't contacted her for days, and when he finally did, it was just for these trivial matters. He even stood up for Emily against her. Was there really nothing else he could talk to her about? Shouldn't she be the first person he wanted to care about?

These thoughts made Veda's anger boil over, and she clenched her teeth in frustration. Just then, her phone rang again.

Veda answered it, and the person on the other end immediately spoke up, "Hey, Veda, how's it going with that thing?"

She responded after hearing Veda's affirmative reply, "I knew it, you're the only one who cares about me! I can't rely on anyone else like I can on you..."

Before Scarlett could finish her sentence, Veda cut her off, her tone sharp and unyielding. "You've got some nerve calling me. I don't know what you're playing at. You told me to freeze Emily's cards and promised me $4.2 million. Well, I've frozen her cards. When am I getting my money?"

Veda's allowance had always been tightly controlled. Mason used to give her money, and then it was Michael, but neither provided enough for her to spend freely. So Scarlett's offer was incredibly tempting.

And all she had to do was freeze Emily's bank cards. That was no big deal for Veda. After all, with Michael away, she had a lot of control over Smith Corporation, and Emily's cards were tied to the company's funds. Freezing them was a piece of cake.

But she hadn't expected that within half a day of freezing the cards, she would receive a warning from Michael instead of the $4.2 million. Now she was left with nothing but a tarnished reputation and no money.

Veda's anger grew, and she decided to lie to Scarlett. "I can prove right now that I've frozen all of Emily's cards. Mom, you're about to go abroad. I suggest you don't meddle too much. Just transfer the $4.2 million, and we'll still be mother and daughter."
