The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 424 Veda Causes a Commotion

"Get in there, quick! Something's happened! Veda's here!" Alice's words were directed at Michael.

Although she didn't specify why Veda was there, Michael immediately had a bad feeling. He rushed into the banquet hall.

A crowd had already gathered, and Michael could clearly hear Veda's voice-shrill and terrifying.

"Emily! How long are you going to disgrace the Smith family?

"If I hadn't come here to meet a friend, I wouldn't have found you flirting so disgustingly. What are you doing? Trying to secure a new meal ticket before you leave the Smith family?

"And this guy? He's not even as tall as Michael, not as handsome either. Your taste has really hit rock bottom... Oh, right, you're pregnant with a bastard child! I get it! This bastard child must be his..."

Before Veda could finish, Michael pushed through the crowd.

He slapped her.

The sound was deafening, and the room fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. "Michael!" Veda's sharp scream pierced the air.

Michael ignored her, his eyes fixed on Emily, who was crying, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Emily..." Michael instinctively reached out to touch Emily's flushed cheek.

But a hand blocked his-it was Archibald.

He didn't say a word to Michael, just tightened his grip on him and started to lead her away. Emily didn't resist, following him out.

"Look at that, shameless."

"Veda!"
