The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 451 The Villains Take Action

Dean grew impatient and demanded, "Whose call is it?"

Sophia knew she couldn't avoid it any longer, so she answered the phone, lowering the volume and frowning as she turned to Dean.

"Why are you so curious? It's my mom. I'll take it."

With that, Sophia showed him the screen. Dean saw the contact labeled "Mom" and relaxed, lying back on the bed.

Sophia took the phone into the bathroom.

She closed the door and then turned the microphone back on. "What do you want?"

Sophia had no patience for Evelyn. Despite the contact being labeled "Mom," the number was from Emerald City Psychiatric Hospital, easily traceable.

With the Brown Corporation's collapse and Hayden's downfall, the Brown family was no longer what it used to be. To make matters worse, Sophia now had a mother in a psychiatric hospital, which she found deeply embarrassing.

Evelyn always called from that number, and Sophia often ignored the calls, fearing Dean might find out. Out of five calls, she would answer maybe one.

This infuriated Evelyn every time.

"If you don't need this phone, you might as well throw it away! Why do you never answer my calls, Sophia? Are you doing this on purpose?"

Evelyn never spoke gently. Sometimes Sophia wondered if she was really Evelyn and Hayden's daughter or their enemy.

"Get to the point. I'm busy." Sophia kept her voice as low as possible. She didn't want Dean to hear, nor did she want to waste time talking to Evelyn.
