The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Was Evelyn really crazy? Others might not know, but she sure did.

Later, when Scarlett asked her to do certain things, Evelyn did them willingly. She didn't want to blame her daughter; after all, Scarlett was her pride and joy, someone she had raised with all her heart.

She also didn't want to blame the man in front of her. They had loved each other once, and now, in this dire situation, she needed his help.

But Evelyn never expected Hayden to come visit her.

It truly surprised her, stirring up a whirlwind of emotions in her heart!

"Evelyn, I'm here to see you. I know things haven't been great for you lately, so I came to check on you."

Hayden's face was adorned with a fake smile.

He wasn't good at acting; now, trying to put on a loving act in front of Evelyn was quite a challenge.

But before Hayden could say much, she was already in tears, choking up.

"Hayden, it's good that you're here. I thought you had forgotten about me."

As she spoke, Evelyn couldn't help but cry, her voice trembling, as if she was pouring out all the grievances and hardships of the past years.

In fact, she and Hayden were opposites. She was the best at pretending. During those years in the Brown family, she played the role of a gentle and virtuous wife to perfection.

Now, she could only expose her inner fragility.

Despite everything, a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart. Perhaps Hayden's appearance could bring her a chance of survival.

"Hayden, fortunately, Sophia and I didn't drag you down. We signed the divorce papers, so Brown Corporation won't suffer because of us."

"Is the company doing well? Are you doing well? Then I can be at ease."

"Will you wait for me and our daughter to come back? I promise I'll take good care of you, and there won't be any more trouble. I won't make you unhappy again. I know I was wrong."

Evelyn took the initiative, starting with a heartfelt apology, trying to evoke Hayden's sympathy.

But Hayden didn't come today to reconcile with Evelyn. He had other plans.

He never wanted a harmonious marriage or a happy family. What he wanted was absolute control over Brown Corporation.

When he faced Emily in court, Evelyn's support became crucial.

So Hayden had to give her some benefits, like a portion of Brown Corporation's shares.

Now, Evelyn was still in prison with a long sentence ahead.

Evelyn's brother had come to him, demanding justice for Evelyn. He wanted half of the assets after the divorce and threatened to expose Hayden's schemes!

What schemes? Who did he use? Everything he did was clearly for the family!

Hayden kept deceiving, even starting to believe his own lies. But he needed Evelyn to believe them too, and he needed her brother to shut up and stop eyeing the shares that originally belonged to Brown Corporation!

"Evelyn, of course, I care about you and Sophia."

"But now, both of you are in prison, and I'm busy with Brown Corporation. It's really

hard to take care of you, so I can only visit you occasionally."

As he spoke, Hayden didn't forget to shed a couple of crocodile tears.

To Evelyn, it looked like a genuine reunion of a loving couple.

But soon, Hayden steered the conversation towards the shares.

Sure enough, Evelyn wasn't easily fooled. As soon as she heard about her interests, she suddenly became alert.

When she looked up again, the innocent and pitiful look had turned into one of shrewdness and calculation.

"Shares? There's nothing to discuss. They're meant for Sophia in the future. I don't care about them anymore."

Evelyn's words shattered Hayden's plans.

She didn't care anymore, so Hayden couldn't care either.

They only had one daughter, and everything should be left to her.

But Hayden was the only one who understood the current situation too well and knew

that Sophia had completely lost her value.

To Hayden, Sophia was just a burden. It wouldn't be too much if she disappeared forever.

But now, the burden not only tarnishing the Brown family reputation but also

occupying a portion of the shares.

How could Hayden tolerate that?

He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, but outwardly remained calm.

"Evelyn, don't worry, Sophia's shares won't be reduced."

"But you don't know, the situation outside has changed a lot. Brown Corporation isn't

as easy to run as it used to be. I need money now. Although those shares belong to you, in our hearts, we're still a family."noveldrama

"Why don't you let me use those shares for a while, and I'll return them later."

Evelyn knew Hayden too well. She knew that once the shares were in his hands, they would never be returned.

Evelyn sneered, her eyes sharp as knives, and she changed her tone, no longer hiding anything, directly telling Hayden.

"Hayden, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

"Want the shares? And then ignore us? Don't even think about it!"

"Sophia is our child, raised by both of us. Don't think you can dump all the responsibility on me! If you think she's a burden, then she's a burden to both of us!"

"I won't give you the shares. They're rightfully mine after the divorce!"

"And seeing your shameless face now, I'm even more convinced that leaving you was the right choice. From now on, don't even think about getting me back to the Brown family to help you against Emily!"

Hayden's face stiffened, cursing inwardly, but he still forced a smile.

"Evelyn, I didn't mean that."

Evelyn turned away, not wanting to act with Hayden anymore, and directly told the guard. "Officer, I'm done here!"

Hayden panicked, standing up, his voice louder. "Evelyn, what do you mean!"

Evelyn lifted her chin, her hands still shackled, but she remained proud, coldly replying. "It's simple, Hayden. Your plan ends here. I won't be fooled anymore!"

"But your visit today wasn't entirely in vain. You can see, I've never been crazy, and I've never forgotten how you treated me! I won't forget how you schemed against me today either!"

"I ended up here because of Emily and Michael. Do you think I'll let them off easily, or you? What a joke. Just wait and see, we'll meet again!"
