The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 429 Court Hearing

Emily had locked herself in her room again. She hadn't been in a good mood for the past few days.

It wasn't just because of Veda showing up at the JM Jewelry Company exhibition, but also because Roger's sentencing was coming up, and the court hearing was today.

Roger's sentencing was supposed to be a moment of great satisfaction.

But at that moment, Emily had to relive Isabella's death, face the so-called righteous love of the Ward family, and play along with their charade of family harmony under the media's scrutiny.

Emily didn't want any part of it. She told herself this with all her heart.

Abigail gently pushed the door open and walked in, carrying a bowl of hot milk. She carefully observed Emily's expression. Sensing Abigail's concern, Emily looked up and managed a small smile.

"Why so cautious?"

Seeing Emily's mood improve slightly, Abigail breathed a sigh of relief, though her face still showed signs of unease.

"I was just worried you might still be struggling with everything. Today's the court hearing. Are you ready? I'm still worried. Let me go with you!"

Emily took the milk, her face showing traces of makeup, but it couldn't hide the pallor and helplessness brought on by her inner disappointment.

"No need, I'll go by myself. Aren't you looking for a job? Go focus on that." Emily patted Abigail's hand.

She added, "I'm fine. The Ward family won't dare do anything to me, especially with the reporters there. Roger..."
