The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

At first, Roger didn't take Emily seriously. But as soon as she asked the question, the three members of the Ward family were momentarily speechless, exchanging glances before turning to Emily in unison. Luna was the first to speak up. "Who are you?"

Emily walked over to her calmly, extending her arms for a hug. "You must be Alice's sister, right? You both grew up abroad, so you must be familiar with foreign etiquette. I'm Emily Brown. Nice to meet you, let's have a hug." Without waiting for Luna's consent, Emily gave her a quick hug and then moved over to Roger, bowing politely. "Mr. Ward, you probably don't remember me. We've met twice at other banquets, but you were very busy at the time, and we didn't interact much. Let me reintroduce myself. I'm Emily Brown, Michael's wife, and one of the heads of Smith Corporation."

Emily knew Michael should have already received the news and was on his way back from the hospital. But the Ward family was already in a heated argument. She felt it was necessary to step up and take charge to ensure the Smith family didn't suffer and to avoid disappointing Mason.

Roger couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Emily putting on airs in front of him. He then sat back in the main seat of the conference room. Luna obediently followed Roger's lead and sat back down, ignoring Alice's attempts to warn her. Roger said, "The Smith family really has good manners and etiquette! I control ten percent of Smith Corporation's shares and am a close friend of the current president's father. Can't you see what my status is, and what yours is? Do you think you can stand in front of me and demand evidence? It's really funny, truly hilarious!"

Seeing Roger being so unreasonable, Alice felt extremely embarrassed. She was about to speak up, but Roger noticed and immediately yelled at her. "All you know is to help outsiders. If you keep this up, don't blame me for not recognizing you as my daughter! One is enough, another is redundant!"

Hearing this, both Alice and Luna froze in place. Emily, listening on the side, found it hard to believe such words came from a father. Was he implying that for his two daughters to win, they had to defeat each other? To gain their parents' favor, they had to drive the other out of the family? It was simply outrageous.

At that moment, Emily couldn't help but feel tired of this so-called upper-class life. She hated heirs like Luna, who had no opinions of their own and only knew how to obey their parents. She also hated fathers like Roger, who claimed to be thinking about their children's future interests but were really just after his own gain.

A familiar voice came from behind, "Mr. Ward, what's wrong? Why are you so angry? From a distance, I could hear you scolding Luna. Isn't Luna just a bit playful usually? Did she go to The Enchanted Door Bar to hire male escorts again? Or is she living with that foreign boyfriend again?"

"Mr. Ward, no matter what, she's your daughter. No matter how bad she is, you still have to raise her. Her ongoing naivety is a masterpiece of your nurturing, no doubt." Michael's words cut deep.

He pushed open the conference room door and walked in, pulling Emily behind him, then bowed to Roger, looking particularly polite and composed.

As for Luna, Michael's voice wasn't exactly quiet. From the moment he opened the door, his words had likely spread, and those waiting outside for the drama had probably already spread the news far and wide.novelbin

Even though those people weren't important, he shouldn't have said such things in front of Alice and Roger.

Luna immediately realized the severity of the situation. When she looked at Alice and Roger the next second, their faces were already turning red with anger.

Luna snapped back, "You... what nonsense are you talking about! Michael, we haven't seen each other for so long, and you come in and slander me! Are you doing this out of guilty? Afraid you can't repay the debt you owe the Ward family?"

Emily watched from the side as Luna's voice faltered after just a few words, and Michael took over, looking at her with a fierce expression, causing Luna to tremble. "Who's feeling guilty, you or me? Luna, we haven't seen each other for a long time, but I often hear about you. The Enchanted Door Bar? Aren't familiar with it? I heard you've hired three-quarters of the male escorts there. It seems like you're a regular?"

"And speaking of not repaying debts, it should be you. I've heard the owner of The Enchanted Door Bar complain many times that you always put it on the tab but never pay it off. Running off after having fun? Isn't that a bit much, Luna?" Three-quarters of the... male escorts?

Hearing Michael's shocking words, Emily was stunned.

Oh my god, what shocking information!

Alice was lively and open, but her sister was even crazier and unrestrained!

Was this the power of foreign education?

If so, she definitely didn't want her unborn child to go abroad in the future.

As Emily's thoughts drifted, she felt warmth from her hand.

She moved her hand slightly, realizing that Michael, while confronting the Ward Corporation father and daughter, had been holding her hand tightly and keeping her behind him, giving her an inexplicable sense of security. Meanwhile, Roger, before he could react, was choked by Michael's words.

He never expected his youngest daughter to do something so disgraceful.

Now, not only did he not get the money back, but he was also countered. How would this daughter get married in the future!

Roger was furious, "Michael, don't think that just because you have dirt on my daughter today, you can easily escape this! Let me tell you, once I settle this matter, the shareholders' meeting will still be held, and you won't get a penny less of the shares you owe me!"

"If you don't want Smith Corporation to have a reputation for not repaying debts and being incompetent, you'd better divide the shares and make me the absolute majority shareholder of Smith Corporation. I'm not negotiating with you; I'm warning you, informing you!"

With that, Roger coldly snorted and was the first to leave the conference room.
