The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Since they had nothing to do, the vibe was pretty awkward.

Emily just peeled an apple and handed it to Michael.

Michael shook his head, still looking upset. Emily rarely saw him like this and couldn't help but feel a bit worried. "The thing with Sophia... in a way, it's a good thing. Grandpa doesn't know yet. We can use this chance to get a divorce smoothly. Otherwise, dragging it out isn't a solution."

Mentioning Mason, Michael suddenly remembered the time they were drugged.

He asked Emily, but she looked just as puzzled.

It was probably someone from the Smith family, but who it was didn't really matter.

Emily totally got the Smith family's intentions. They wanted her to stay so the Smith family could keep up appearances and look happy and perfect to outsiders.

But Emily didn't want that life anymore. She wanted freedom, happiness for her and her mom, and maybe a kid in the future, but no one else.

Michael clearly didn't see it that way.

When Sophia said she was pregnant, Michael was already at a loss. Deep down, he didn't want the kid, but he couldn't be the guy who ditched his responsibilities.

He had to painfully give up Emily and choose to divorce her.

But now things were clear.

Sophia was lying. Could he and Emily go back to the way things were?

Michael knew he couldn't just beg Emily, so he suddenly thought of the company. Yeah, he could use the company to keep Emily around, and maybe their divorce could be postponed again.

After thinking for a while, Michael spoke. "Emily."

He gently called her name. Emily was startled but responded kindly. "What?"

Michael added, "In my current condition, I might have to stay in the hospital for a while. There are still many things at the company that need to be handled. You know, Andrew just got married and took a leave for his honeymoon, so there's no one to take care of the company."

"I'm really worried. Grandpa is old, and Veda... she has no talent for this, so I can only ask you to help me take care of Smith Corporation during this time. As for JM Jewelry, I won't interfere. Just help me check on Smith Corporation occasionally."

Michael used the word "ask."

This was something Emily never expected.

In her memories, Michael was always proud and arrogant, never asking for help.

In all their years of marriage, this was the first time he asked her for something.

Unexpectedly, it was because of Smith Corporation.

Yeah, after all these years, Emily felt she should have realized it. Besides Smith Corporation, there was nothing else Michael cared about, and she was even less worthy. But Emily still agreed to Michael without hesitation. "Okay, I agree."

Because she had feelings for everything related to the Smith family. This was something that couldn't change overnight. Maybe it was her inescapable fate. The next morning.

Emily set off for Smith Corporation as Michael's wife this time.

So, all the employees were super respectful to Emily, calling her "Mrs. Smith."

Some even followed her around, helping with everything from pouring water to grabbing coffee.

follow, fearing someone might take advantage of his absence to insult Emily.

Since she had already been handling JM Jewelry's work for a while and had prior experience, running simple meetings and organizing basic tasks wasn't too tough for Emily. A lot of people were impressed by the new "acting president."

Meanwhile, the art department got the news too.

"Now I get why Sophia left our department. She couldn't compete with her half-sister and felt embarrassed!"

"Exactly. Sophia's good, but she can't match her sister. I heard Mrs. Smith is a hidden design genius!"

"Yeah, I heard that too. Not just in our art department, but even in JM Jewelry, few can compare to Mrs. Smith. That's why Ms. Blair personally chose her as the acting director!"

"Oh my god, you mean Penelope, the chairman of JM Jewelry? She's a role model among women, and my idol! Anyone she picks must be amazing!"

"And judging by today's scene, you can tell Mr. Smith cares a lot about his wife. Who would trust their family business to a woman they don't love? It shows that the couple is doing well!" The women's chatter was picked up by the microphone.

Vivian Clark, who was tight with Sophia, rolled her eyes at her colleagues.

Then she put the phone back to her ear and whispered, "Did you hear that? The reputation of Smith Corporation has changed. Now it's your sister's domain!"

Vivian didn't know what had happened, so she was still hoping Sophia could come back, defeat Emily, reclaim her position as Michael's wife, and maybe even help her out.

But she had no idea that Sophia was in no position to help anyone, let alone herself.

Vivian added, "Sophia, I'm talking to you. Did you hear me?"novelbin

At that moment, Sophia was at home drowning her sorrows in alcohol because her fake pregnancy had been exposed just three days ago.

Now, she couldn't even pretend to be important at Smith Corporation. She felt deeply ashamed to even face Evelyn and Hayden.

"Are you talking about that bitch Emily... let her be, that ungrateful person." Saying this, Sophia picked up a nearby bottle and started drinking again.

Vivian, hearing this, was genuinely worried for Sophia. "Sophia, what are you saying! You said you could return to the art department soon and might even get promoted and make money! Don't forget to help me out when it happens. Do you remember our agreement?"

Vivian's heart raced as she spoke.

After all, this was her only chance to become wealthy.

When would she ever achieve financial freedom by working in the art department every day?

She needed to befriend a woman with connections to the president!

But to Vivian's surprise, Sophia was completely unreliable. After a few words, she hung up the phone, leaving Vivian fuming and stomping her feet at her desk.

She cursed Sophia for ten minutes, calling her useless.
