The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 536 Emotional Blackmail

"Don't ever come looking for me again.

"After Mom died and we faced off in court, where you heartlessly sued me, you should've known that there's no father-daughter bond left between us. Just a biological connection."

Emily's voice was cool but sharp.

Her words hit Hayden like a cold wind, leaving him speechless.

Emily's words were like a mirror, reflecting his past indifference and cruelty.

The room fell into a cold silence. Emily's harsh words twisted something deep inside Hayden. He realized that the Emily standing before him was no longer the child he could easily ignore.

In the end, he left, defeated.

As Hayden walked out the door, his steps were heavy, as if he carried the weight of the world.

He turned back and said, "You don't understand, I... I'm still your father!"

Emily wasn't moved in the slightest. She took a deep breath and replied, "And I am your daughter. I begged you back then, but what did I get in return?"

Hayden was once again at a loss for words.

Ultimately, he had to silently endure the belated punishment, leaving Emerald Lake Manor with a dark expression.

Emily's rebuttal left him feeling worthless, and seeing Michael was out of the question!

Hayden suddenly felt his plan was too difficult to execute. Just as he was about to leave, his phone rang. The caller ID made his heart sink, and he answered with a tone full of displeasure.

"Hmph! You still think she's the same EmiJv? It's not that easy now!"
