The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 460 Internal Strife Erupts

Emily stared at the design sketch in a daze.

Dean found her behavior baffling. He put his phone away and noticed Emily's eyes flicker, but she still didn't move.

Growing impatient, he thought to himself, 'Sophia was right. Her sister loves to put on airs. I've already explained why I'm here, but she's still lingering, probably scheming something.'

"Hey, did I not make myself clear? I said I want to see your designer, the one who created this royal blue sapphire ring. Why are you still standing here? Go get them!" Dean's politeness lasted less than ten minutes before his true colors showed.

And this is the person who wants to collaborate with her?

Emily couldn't help but scoff internally, thinking it was a joke.

She gently placed a hand on her stomach, lifted her chin slightly, and responded coolly to Dean, "I'm sorry, I should have explained earlier. The designer you're looking for is right in front of you."

In front of him?

Dean looked at Emily warily, seeing her calm and polite smile. Suddenly, she seemed to exude a powerful presence.

Dean's arrogance vanished instantly. He glanced at the design on his phone, then back at Emily, incredulous.

"You designed this ring?"

Emily nodded and replied, "This was my first piece at JM Jewelry, and it's my favorite. It was created a few months ago, inspired when I first found out I was pregnant. It took a month of designing and refining.

"I'm glad you like it, but I'm sorry to tell you that I have no intention of collaborating with your studio. This piece belongs entirely to JM Jewelry and myself."

Dean was stunned by Emily's confident words.

No wonder Emily held onto the management of JM Jewelry!
