The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 533 Unexpected Confession

Even though Scarlett kept causing a scene, Emily never held it against her.

Emily said everything she needed to say, knowing Scarlett would have to think it over later when she calmed down.

"I never wanted anything from the Smith family. You might not believe me, but I have to say it.

"My divorce from Michael left me with nothing. He chose to give me these things, and I accepted them for the sake of my child. But what you think, only you know best.

"I understand what you said earlier, but I can't comprehend your final actions.

"A mother who feels wronged transfers all her hatred to her children and then lives freely. Do you really feel avenged? You just see the Smith family as too powerful to take down, so you vent all your anger on your children."

Emily's words were calm, but they hit Scarlett hard.

Scarlett was shaking with rage, her lips trembling, but she couldn't utter a single word. How could this be? How could Emily say such things? What right did she have?

Every word Emily said hit the mark, cutting deep. It was a brutal truth.

"And your son, he's lost his father, gone through a divorce, and now has to accept that his mother tried to kill his newborn child. They'll both live in pain for the rest of their lives, won't they?"

Emily finished speaking, her brow furrowed slightly, a flicker of pity in her eyes.
