The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 516 Old Friends Meet

Candice's words brought a hush over the hospital room.

Abigail had always steered clear of drama. She worked hard, went home quietly, and kept a safe distance from the high society of Emerald City. Emily was her only link to that world.

So, when Candice started narrowing down suspects, the only people Abigail could think of were Michael and his sister, Veda.

"Could it be Veda? She's always had this weird hostility towards Emily. Sometimes I even wonder if she's really Michael's sister. Maybe she has feelings for him?"

"Abigail!" Emily cut her off, her voice urgent. She hadn't even thought before speaking, but then she quickly regained her composure.

When she thought about Veda and Michael, it was true they didn't look much alike, and their personalities were worlds apart.

More importantly, Emily had once shared Abigail's suspicions. She had wondered why Veda harbored such animosity towards her, and why Veda's feelings for Michael were so uniquely complicated.

But Emily had never dug too deep. Her kind nature led her to believe that Michael and Veda were indeed siblings, and it was possible that Veda resented Emily for taking all of Michael's attention.

Besides, Veda had been spoiled for years, and with a mother like Scarlett who often contradicted her, it wasn't surprising that Veda's behavior seemed off.

Thinking of Scarlett, Emily's expression changed.

Candice noticed this, especially when Emily's fingers began to unconsciously rub the edge of the table. She quickly asked, "Emily, did you remember something?"

Candice didn't know much about Veda, but she had at least heard of her. Veda was known as the heiress of Smith Corporation and Michael's sister, with a peculiar temperament and a spoiled nature, yet she had an unexpectedly close relationship with Michael.

Could there be more to the story?
