The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 494

Chapter 494 Relying on Each Other

The gate door for Emerald Lake Manor was still her birthday.

Emily hadn't expected that. After hanging up the phone, she was clearly lost in thought for a long time.

From Veda's words, it was easy to tell that Michael had drunk a lot last night, to the point where he didn't answer calls and couldn't be woken up. The alleged assault seemed more like a setup.

Emily still couldn't believe that Michael would do something so reckless for no reason. Moreover, he represented the Smith family's reputation.

Even when their arguments had been at their worst, Michael had never laid a finger on her.

Thinking about all this made Emily's heart tighten, and her eyes grew warm.

She looked up at Archibald, who was also looking at her.

Archibald was clearly moved by Emily's expression. He sighed softly and handed her a tissue.

"Emily, don't worry. I'll contact Dean right away."

Archibald felt incredibly conflicted. He didn't want Emily to be so anxious and heartbroken over Michael, yet he had no choice but to help her contact Dean to uncover the truth. It made him feel powerless.

But rationally, Archibald was more concerned about whether Dean was involved than the actual truth of the matter.

Meanwhile, Dean was still asleep.

He and Sophia had moved to a different place, but it was still a hotel, and still a luxurious suite.

With the pocket money he had, continuing to live a lavish lifestyle wasn't a problem. Besides, Archibald would occasionally send him money. Dean accepted whatever came
