Chapter 531 Unexpected Origin

Emily would never blame Veda for anything.

But today, she couldn't let Scarlett off the hook, not with Veda and Michael involved.

Scarlett's actions had long crossed Emily's line. Emily couldn't fathom what made Scarlett so reckless and cold-hearted, to the point of even wanting to harm her own grandson!

Emily had even doubted whether Michael was really Scarlett's biological child.

But her private investigation confirmed that Michael was indeed Scarlett's son.

However, beneath this confirmation of blood ties, a larger conspiracy and secret emerged, shocking Emily and making her deeply question whether she had missed any clues.

She knew that if this secret were to be revealed, it would cause a huge uproar and could even shake the foundation of the Smith family.

But seeing Scarlett so carefree, using Veda's sympathy to manipulate the situation, Emily decided to take a deep breath and gave Daniel a meaningful look.

Daniel was the first to know this secret.

Seeing Emily's signal, he immediately understood and turned to Veda. "Veda, can we talk outside for a sec?"

Veda thought Daniel was just trying to divert attention for Emily's sake. Though she appeared to have let go of everything, she still felt resentful and started arguing in front of everyone. "Why can't you say it here?"

Daniel knew he had to get Veda out of there to prevent her from being hit by the truth.

"Veda, this isn't about you right now. If you keep dragging this out, it's only gonna make things harder for Michael."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
