Chapter 227 The Brown Family Feud
"Abigail, you're getting more and more dramatic," Emily said, her face turning cherry red. She felt a bit shy and even wanted to argue back.
Michael liked her? That was as likely as pigs flying or the world ending-just impossible. The person he liked was Sophia. Even if he didn't like Sophia anymore, his heart wouldn't turn to hers. Abigail asked, "Emily, why do you always deny the feelings between you two?"
It was a question Emily had asked herself sometimes. She believed they were just not on the same path. Michael liked girls who were coquettish and dependent on him, not someone like her who was tough inside and out, seemingly gentle and virtuous but actually as hard as a rock.
Moreover, Emily didn't expect Michael to like her again. Thinking of this, Emily felt much more at ease. She took Abigail's hand and responded, "Abigail, this isn't denial, it's just the truth. There are no feelings between us. What you saw today was just a coincidence arranged by fate."
"Fate arranged for me to get your call while he happened to be nearby. Fate arranged for me to be worried about you, so I begged him to bring me over. Fate arranged for us to help you get rid of that jerk together. Michael is a good person, so he wouldn't just stand by and do nothing. This wasn't for me, let alone anything else."
Emily's explanation was pretty convincing. Gradually, she convinced herself and also convinced Abigail. They started talking about other things.
Meanwhile, Sophia was in a great mood. She had reached a basic agreement with Scarlett to deal with Emily and get Michael back. Compared to before, when she had no one to help her and was desperate, now she had the Smith family backing her, which was even stronger than Veda, whom she had chosen before.
Scarlett even came up with the idea to wait until Michael let his guard down, then prepare to deal with Emily, preferably making her disappear from everyone's sight forever, and thus disappear from Emerald City forever.
Thinking of this, Sophia became even happier. She curled her lips, hummed a song, and gracefully got out of the car, ready to take out her keys to go home, but coincidentally ran into Hayden at the door.
Hayden had been working at the office and came back specifically to get a document he had left in the study. He thought no one was home, so he had brought his secretary along. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got out of the car, he ran into Sophia, who was heavily made up and dressed inappropriately.
Hayden immediately became displeased and pointed at her nose to scold her. "It's just the afternoon, where have you been? With whom? If you have nothing to do, find a job. If you really can't, go intern at the company. Stop hanging out with those good-for-nothing friends! And tonight, you're not allowed to go out. If I find out you sneaked out, I'll break your legs!"
Sophia, of course, was not to be outdone. She immediately noticed the secretary following behind Hayden. Seeing her get out of the car, the secretary quickly ran back to the car.novelbin
What was this? Feeling guilty? Sophia just sneered at Hayden and then quickly walked to his car. Hayden wanted to stop her but was too late. Sophia was strong and fast. She yanked the car door open and dragged the secretary out. The secretary was wearing a tight skirt, black stockings, and most notably, a mink fur coat. Sophia immediately noticed the mink fur was real and expensive. A little secretary affording such an expensive coat? Of course, she had a sugar daddy.

Thinking of this, Sophia got even angrier. She slapped the secretary across the face and then grabbed her hair, trying to smash her head against the car window.
The secretary cried out, "Mr. Brown, please save me, please save me!" The driver in the car was startled and froze in his seat.
It was Hayden who first stepped forward, pulling Sophia away and protecting the secretary behind him. "Sophia! What are you doing? Are you rebelling? Do you believe I'll send you abroad this afternoon!"
Being sent abroad was not a good thing for Sophia. Since childhood, as long as Evelyn was around, Hayden had always pampered her, never daring to treat her badly, let alone hit or scold her. So Sophia had grown up pampered and arrogant. But one day, when she found out about Emily and her mother, she said something disrespectful to Hayden for the first time, and he hit her, threatening to send her abroad, as far as possible, never to return to Emerald City. Since then, Sophia had been much more obedient.
But today, for the sake of that bitch beside him, Hayden actually said he would send her abroad again.
Sophia went completely mad. "For her? You want to send me abroad? You ruined one woman and now you want to ruin another! What do you take my mom for? I ask you, how many people do you want to destroy!"
"Get out! Sophia, I don't have a daughter like you!" Hayden was also furious.
The two of them confronted each other in the yard. Suddenly, Evelyn also rushed back in a car. She had been playing nearby and hurried back after hearing from a neighbor.
Sophia couldn't see the situation clearly, but Evelyn was smarter. The two of them couldn't easily get angry with Hayden now.
Even if he did something outrageous, given their current situation, they could only endure it, just to maintain their current good conditions and keep the Brown family property, not easily let it go to others, not end up like Isabella.
So, as soon as she got out of the car, Evelyn ran towards Sophia. "You bastard, what are you arguing with your father about again! Isn't this family chaotic enough for you? Apologize to your father, quickly!"
While Evelyn was giving Sophia a look, Hayden quickly took the opportunity to let the secretary escape. By the time Sophia realized it, the hostage was gone.
She was very angry, venting all her anger on Evelyn. "I see you haven't had enough of the rich life, you're even willing to throw away your dignity! Mom, my dad is about to bring that bitch home, and you're still protecting her. Are you still my mom! Do you have to wait until she has a son outside to be happy, to be satisfied!"
