The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 534 Returning to the Right Track

Scarlett ended up at the Emerald City police station.

What happens next was beyond Michael and Emily's control, and Veda could only watch helplessly.

The Smith family drama seemed to have settled, but aside from Veda, everyone still felt a lingering gloom.

Fortunately, Daniel had taken Veda away in time, and deep down, Veda still liked Daniel.

At this moment, she was willing to stay with Daniel, which gave Mason, Michael, and Emily a chance to talk.

In the hospital room, Mason let out a long sigh, lying on the bed with an IV drip.

An hour ago, when he learned that Veda was not his biological granddaughter, Mason felt the world spin around him, his mind went blank, and he aged ten years in an instant.

Luckily, Michael had found an excuse to deceive Veda, saying Mason was unwell and had gone home because of Scarlett's anger. Veda didn't think much of it and didn't know Mason had been rushed to the ER again.

Mason stared at the ceiling, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

The family harmony he once believed in, the bonds he worked hard to maintain, had collapsed in an instant.

And it was all because of that damned Scarlett!

"Michael, there are things I shouldn't say, but now that you know everything, I can't hold back anymore. I'm old, and I need to be direct with you."

"I never liked your mother, not from the beginning. What Scarlett said was half true. Since she married into the family, your grandmother and I never treated her well, but it wasn't because of her humble background or because she married while pregnant. It was because her ambition was too great; she was never a woman who could stay home and raise children.

"Your father couldn't see through Scarlett's intentions, but I could. Since she married in, your father wanted her to educate you all at home. I didn't say anything and agreed, but later I found out she was secretly manipulating the Smith family, trying to control us. How could that be allowed?
