The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 421 At the Banquet

Bryan paused for a moment. "She should definitely come."

Penelope was really fond of Emily. Word was, Penelope had handed over several major projects to Emily and even gave her decision-making power.

If things kept going this way, Emily might just make a name for herself in Emerald City's high society.

Thinking about it, Bryan couldn't help but smile.

He was all in for Emily. Her journey had been rough, and anyone who knew her story would feel both admiration and sympathy.

Even as Michael's friend, Bryan couldn't help but feel a bit indignant on Emily's behalf. Just then, a commotion broke out outside the banquet hall.

Bryan's thoughts were interrupted. He exchanged a glance with Alice and then turned his head. A woman in a black gown, tall and elegant, with striking features and long, flowing curls, had captured everyone's attention.

She looked incredibly familiar. Despite the loose gown, her presence was undeniable, and her eyes sparkled with a lively spirit.

"It's Emily!" Alice was the first to recognize her.

Though there was some distance, Alice could never mistake her cousin.

She had been helping her family recently and had seen many photos of Isabella in her youth.

Emily looked more and more like her mother, Isabella!

Bryan frowned as he looked over. It wasn't Emily's appearance that bothered him, nor her attire. It was the man beside her!

It wasn't Michael, but Archibald, someone Bryan had recently had dinner with.

"Why is he with Emily?" Bryan murmured in shock, watching Emily walk into the banquet hall hand in hand with Archibald. He suddenly thought of something and instinctively looked in the direction where Michael had been, but there was no sign of him.
