Chapter 500 Behind-the-Scenes Helper

Scarlett's face twisted with anger, but she had no choice but to swallow her fury.

Casting a glance at the useless Veda, she realized she had lost this power struggle completely.

The shareholders' meeting dispersed, and the media storm seemed to have calmed down for now.

Emily, supported by Candice, walked steadily out of the conference room.

Patrick followed closely behind, his face showing concern as he spoke softly. "I can't believe Michael's mom is so unreasonable, slandering people like that. I heard she was at the Emerald City police station before? Is that true? Is she back to fight Michael for his inheritance?"

Candice sighed sympathetically upon hearing this.

She had once thought the Smith family seemed nice and had even fantasized about marrying into it. Now, it seemed best to avoid such trouble.

Poor Emily.

Seeing Scarlett's sharp and bitter attitude towards Emily earlier, Candice knew that Emily must have endured a lot.

Hearing Candice's sigh, Emily just smiled faintly, a hint of resilience in her eyes. "Never mind. Michael and I are divorced now. It's all in the past."

Is it really in the past?

Last night, Patrick had watched Michael drink heavily, and today he saw someone plotting to ruin Michael's reputation. He felt it was so unfair for Michael!

He also felt sorry for Michael and Emily's marriage.

They clearly cared about each other but pretended not to. How long would this awkwardness last?
