The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Michael had a tiny bit of hope, thinking maybe he got Sophia all wrong.

But nope, she'd been lying from the get-go.

Andrew just shook his head and chuckled when he heard it.

He knew Emily had won this round without even trying.

"Andrew," Michael said, giving him the nod to show the evidence.

Andrew quickly pulled up the photos on his phone. Sophia, seeing this, started to panic. "Michael, these photos are so blurry! How can you even tell it's me? I... I... Michael, you must be mistaken! I didn't do it. The day before yesterday, I just went to Emerald Lake Manor to find you. You weren't there, so I left. I swear I didn't do anything to hurt Emily. I have no idea how she got hurt."

Sophia, realizing she messed up, quickly covered her mouth in shock.

She was startled by her own slip-up. She thought she had it all covered, just like when she kidnapped Veda, with no one the wiser and a scapegoat to take the fall.

But today, she forgot she was working with Scarlett.

Now that the truth was out, only Scarlett could dodge the blame.

And Sophia? She became the scapegoat.

"I never said the person in the photo was you. I never mentioned you, or that Emily was hurt. Sophia, you said you were at home, then you said you went to Emerald Lake Manor to find me. Your stories don't match. You slipped up and admitted you hurt Emily, don't you?" Michael's voice got rougher, his questioning louder.

Sophia was so scared she started shaking, shrinking back.

Michael added, "You know how heavy that crystal chandelier is. Were you trying to kill Emily? Sophia, how did I never see how cruel you are? Someone as vicious as you, do you deserve to marry me, to have my child? Do you deserve to lie to me about having a child?"

With that, Michael's anger exploded.

He slammed the table and stood up, scaring Sophia so much she dodged and knelt on the ground.novelbin

Andrew watched coldly, wishing he could take out his phone and send a video to Emily.

"Michael, I didn't, I really didn't... Someone's framing me! I don't know how this happened. I didn't lie to you, I swear." Sophia was terrified.

She didn't expect Michael to be this angry, or for the truth to come out so fast.

Now that Michael was hurt, did the chandelier fall on him?

Did he save Emily, so...

Thinking of this, Sophia's breath hitched. She looked around in panic, seeking help, but found only Michael and Andrew, who came to confront her, and indifferent servants. Helpless, Sophia could only shout "I didn't" in a sharp voice.

But her weak explanation was useless.

Sophia thought she was saved and hurried to answer it.

Unexpectedly, Hayden on the other end didn't ask anything, but just started yelling. "You idiot, what did you do this time? Why did Michael send me a subpoena? You're completely useless, not only failing to keep a man but dragging your mother and me into this mess. You just love chaos, don't you, Sophia? Get out, get out of the Brown Villa right now. I don't have a daughter like you!"

The call ended abruptly, with Hayden not listening to a word of Sophia's explanation.

At that moment, Sophia felt like a kite with a broken string, drifting aimlessly with no place to land.

Looking up at Michael's grim expression, Sophia's scalp tingled, and her heart tightened. "I didn't... It wasn't me... I didn't."

Seeing Sophia nearly losing it, her makeup smeared beyond recognition, Michael couldn't be bothered to say more. He'd deal with the Brown family later.

His leg couldn't be injured in vain, and Emily couldn't live in constant fear.

That was Michael's only thought at the moment.

"Andrew, let's go." Michael turned to leave. Seeing this, Sophia couldn't accept it.

She couldn't hold back her loud screams anymore, her eyes wide, face twisted, and large tears rolling down her pale cheeks. "Michael! I didn't expect you to go this far for Emily! Fine, you want to blame only me, right? Let me tell you, it's impossible! Have you ever thought about who gave me the key to the new house?"

"I know you can't think of it because from the beginning, you wanted to cover for her. You wanted to pretend not to see the evil she did, and because of that, you made Emily sad again and again!"

Hearing Sophia's heart-wrenching cries, Michael steadied himself, then turned back to respond. "I know exactly what my mom did and what you did. Who I blame is none of your business, Sophia. Just make sure you show up in court." "Of course, I'm not just suing for Emily. I heard that the Brown family makes their servants work in thin clothes in this weather, even after they complained several times. You think thin clothes are better for work. What kind of society is this? How can there still be such mistreatment of servants?"

"I want to act for justice. Also, as Emily's husband, I think I have the right to say this. It's time to settle the Brown family's mess."

With that, Michael left without looking back.

Following him, Andrew nodded to Sophia and said, "Miss Brown, sorry for the disturbance."

For a moment, Sophia was furious.

She grabbed a cup from the table and threw it towards the door. The cup shattered on the ground.

Sophia then cried heart-wrenchingly, her eyes full of resentment. "Michael! You said you wanted to marry me, to have children with me. You betrayed me! You deserve a bad end... You... You and Emily both deserve a bad end. I'll fight you until I'm dead! Just wait, I'll kill Emily!"

Outside the Brown Villa, Michael's eyelids twitched. He suddenly recalled the public opinion storm from before.

Michael said, "Continue to trace the IP address that spread the rumors, and check Sophia's whereabouts during those days."

Andrew immediately understood Michael's meaning and nodded in response.
