The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 407

Chapter 407 Falling Apart

Hearing Emily's response, Penelope couldn't help but feel a wave of joy.

Given Emily's current situation, Penelope had expected her to politely decline. But to her surprise, Emily agreed immediately. It seemed Penelope's initial judgment of her had been spot on!

Penelope offered an incredibly tempting deal, and Emily, needing to support her child, naturally didn't refuse.

Emily knew exactly what Penelope wanted, and it just so happened to align with her own needs, so there was no need for any pretense.
