The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 471 Meeting Again

Hayden turned and walked away, his steps light and brisk. He had completed the task Veda had given him, and it felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

Sophia watched him leave, her hatred growing stronger by the second.

She couldn't understand how Hayden could be so heartless, even going so far as to sever their father-daughter relationship to force her to leave the country.

The more she thought about it, the colder she felt inside.

She started to realize that Hayden couldn't have come up with this on his own. Someone must be behind it. But who could it be? Could it be his eldest daughter, Emily, who was about to give birth?

The more she thought about it, the more stifled she felt. Her brows furrowed, and anger filled her mind, impossible to extinguish.

Even though she had agreed to Hayden's demands, she would never give up so easily.

There had to be another way. There had to be.

Michael had just dropped Emily off at home and was about to leave, not wanting to upset her and disturb her rest.

But to his surprise, Emily called out to him. "Thanks for bringing me back."

On the way back, Emily had been thinking about how to thank Michael. If it weren't for his help, she would still be stuck in the Lancaster family's mess.

This was her weakness, and Emily had always known it.

She was too soft-hearted, and it was this trait that had led her to this point, causing her mother to suffer as well. Thinking about it made Emily feel terrible.

She had tried to overcome this flaw. However, it was hard to change one's nature. Every time someone asked for her help, her soft heart always won out.

She contined, "If it weren't for you earlier, I wouldn't have known how to refuse the Lancaster family.

"After all, Archibald is a good business partner, and Celeste is well-respected in the business world. Offending her would make my future difficult."
