The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 554

Chapter 554 Coming Clean

Candice's voice had a hint of helplessness as she tried to ease the tension. "Michael, you can't seriously think the Gonzalez family needs to use Emily to copy Smith Corporation's strategies and play such petty tricks, do you?"

Michael, having seen this kind of situation many times before, couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. "Candice, business is war, and you can never be too careful."

There was a long silence on the other end of the line before Candice responded, her words cold. "Michael, if you're that suspicious, I have nothing more to say. I just hope our misunderstanding won't affect my relationship with Emily. As for the time and place of our meeting tomorrow, send it to me, and I'll be there on time."

With that, the sound of the call being disconnected was clearly audible on the other end.

Michael held the phone, his gaze deep as he pondered to himself.Candice's words were firm, but they also revealed her inner fear.

He knew the business world was cutthroat, and it wouldn't be surprising if Candice had ulterior motives. But if those motives involved Emily, that was absolutely unacceptable.

Just like Dean, who was always ready but never found the perfect moment.

Michael wouldn't allow anyone to harm Emily in any way. That was his bottom line, his most important principle.

Suddenly, a noise from upstairs interrupted Michael's thoughts.

He quickly deleted the call record and put his phone away. After sending Candice an address, Emily came down the stairs in a nightgown, her hair half-dried and still dripping water.

The sight made Michael's throat tighten, his heart racing.

Especially Emily's slender waist, her clear, watery eyes, and the way her every movement seemed to carry a certain magic, making his heart skip a beat.
