The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 466 Enemies Cross Paths

"Just to be clear, it's not infighting. It's that shameless, ruthless Sophia who's been

causing trouble for Emily. And causing trouble for Emily is the sas causing trouble for the Smith family. Mr.

Brown, you get that, right?"

Hayden had had his doubts, wondering if Veda had made a mistake.

But Veda shot back immediately, making Sophia sound like a total loser.

How could Hayden argue with that?

This was the investor who could make him money.

Sophia was nothing but an embarrassment to him!

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Hayden quickly weighed the pros and cons and spoke to Veda.

"Sophia's spoiled because of me! | haven't contacted her for a few days, and she dares to treat her sister like

this. Veda, don't worry. You can tell Mason and Michael that I'll definitely set Sophia straight. She won't act like

this again!" Hayden made a verbal promise.

With that, Veda's task was done. She couldn't stand sitting there talking to Hayden any longer, so she found an

excuse and quickly left.

Hayden was left alone, sitting there with a smile one moment and a frown the next, looking almost

schizophrenic.

It was because Brown Corporation could finally collaborate with Smith Corporation and had received a $300,000

grant from them. Although this amount was nothing compared to their usual project outputs, it was enough to

show Smith Corporation's level of importance.

Hayden was pleased about this.

But why was he frowning?

It was all because of Sophia!

She was an embarrassment to him!

Thinking about this, Hayden immediately took out his phone and dialed a number he hadn't called in a long time.

Emily's days had been peaceful and routine lately.

Every morning, she would water the plants and cook, then do an hour of exercise. After that, she would wait for

Abigail to chfor lunch, take a nap, work in the afternoon, hold company meetings, and then cook and

exercise again as the day turned to night.

Her belly was growing bigger, making her movements increasingly inconvenient, so she hadn't been going out

much. All JM Jewelry Company projects were completed online.

Abigail would occasionally bring her sdelicious food.

Evenings were spent chatting with friends.

Emily was very satisfied with her current life, feeling incredibly free and happy every day. There was only one

thing that made her feel a bit uneasy.

It was Michael's absence.

Previously, Michael would appear in her life every few days.

At that time, Emily felt uncomfortable, as if her cherished freedom was always being disrupted by Michael.

But now, it was the opposite. Her life was so quiet that it felt like there were no waves at all.

It was at this moment that Emily truly felt she had divorced Michael.

Just as Emily was lost in thought, her phone rang. It was Archibald calling.

Archibald had been contacting her very frequently lately, almost beyond the frequency

of ordinary friends. Despite this, Emily didn't believe there might be any romantic feelings.

After all, Archibald always talked about work when he called, including this time.

Hearing Archibald inquire about the design drawing, Emily quickly recalled that Dean had visited her a few days

ago but hadn't followed up. So Dean might be trying to use Archibald to get another chance to collaborate with

IM.

Hearing Archibald's confirmation, Emily hesitated.

The sapphire ring was very precious to her, and she hadn't planned to start any new projects, let alone

collaborate with others.

Now that Archibald brought it up, she didn't know how to refuse, so she thought about inviting Archibald to her

hto discuss it.

Unexpectedly, before she could speak, Archibald said, "My Aunt Celeste is in Emerald City. She loves your

designs and wants to meet you. Emily, | know it's a bit presumptuous, but | was wondering if you have time.

Maybe we could..."

Since it was a request from an elder, Emily had no reason to refuse.

Besides, she hadn't gone out for several days, and getting sfresh air would be good.

Emily agreed readily, and Archibald offered, "Great, I'll cpick you up!"

After hanging up, Emily quickly got ready. Despite her big belly, she simply put on a blue shirt and a white skirt,

curled her hair slightly, and let it fall over her shoulders. A bit of powder on her face made her look very elegant.

Emily never expected that as soon as she stepped out, she would see Michael about to knock on the door.

Coincidentally, Michael was also wearing a dark blue suit, making them look like a loving couple from a distance.

Though they had been married for years, the loving couple part was far from true. Both were surprised when

they saw each other.

Michael spoke first. "Are you going out?"

Seeing Michael holding a bag of food and many baby items, Emily knew he was there to see her.

If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience-all for

free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you!

She blinked helplessly, thinking how coincidental it was.

But she had already made plans and was ready to go out, so it was best to stick to the original plan.

After all, Archibald might already be on his way.

"Yeah, I'm running late. Maybe you can cback another time." As soon as she said

it, Emily felt she was being ridiculous.

Was she really asking Michael to cback another time?

Was that a hint?

Michael saw Emily frown, seemingly regretting her words. He knew she had misspoken.

She would never voluntarily ask him to cback another time.

In this lifetime, Emily would never actively invite him.

Feeling helpless, Michael thought about leaving the food and then driving Emily to her destination.

It was his duty, even if it was just for the child in her belly.

"Where are you going? You're not very mobile right now. | can drive you."

Hearing Michael offer to drive her, Emily immediately thought about Archibald arriving

soon.

How awkward would it be if they met?

But sometimes, tic scenes unfold one after another. Before Emily could ask Michael to leave, Archibald's

car arrived, making the situation even more inconvenient.

And in the car, besides Archibald, was Dean.

Back at the Emerald City Police Department, Michael had fought with Dean. Now they were meeting again,

proving that enemies often cross paths.
