The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

"I'll..." Scarlett was about to blow a fuse, but seeing Sophia still crying and putting on a show, with her eyes darting around, she had to swallow her anger and calmly said into the phone, "Where are you now?" "Out of the office," Michael replied.

Michael's words left Scarlett defenseless. She let out a few cold snorts and continued, "I'm at a café near your company with your girlfriend. Come here, let's meet and talk, and we can also discuss your marriage." Scarlett's words left Michael with no room to argue.

What girlfriend? What marriage? His legal wife was sitting right next to him in the passenger seat.

Frustrated, Michael hung up the phone and set it to Do Not Disturb mode.

Seeing this, Emily asked nonchalantly, "Mom is with Sophia?"

Michael responded with some annoyance, "I don't know how those two got involved again. Don't worry about them, we need to get to Abigail. Didn't you say she was crying a lot?"

Hearing this, Emily nodded with a slight smile. But she was still a bit worried. After all, Scarlett and Sophia teaming up meant trouble for her. Scarlett and Sophia had never gotten along before. So why now...

"By the way," Michael interrupted Emily's thoughts again. She looked over to see him speaking calmly, "You haven't eaten, have you? There are snacks in the back seat. I bought them for Veda, but since we can't go back right now, you can have some."

Hearing this, Emily realized she was indeed a bit hungry. After everything that had happened, and being startled by the sudden appearance of the Ward family, she had completely forgotten that her baby needed nourishment. "Okay." With that, Emily turned around to grab some food. Then, the car sped off, disappearing down the road.

In the café, Scarlett reluctantly handed the phone back to Sophia, then took a sip of her coffee and slowly spoke, "You should know why I called you here today, right?"

Sophia had been feeling hopeless, but Scarlett's call had surprised her. Now, with them sharing coffee together, Sophia's hope was rekindled. "I know... but I don't. You just told Michael that I'm his girlfriend. Does that mean you accept me?"

Scarlett almost laughed at the word but held it back. After all, her target was Emily.novelbin

To Scarlett, accepting Sophia or not was never the main concern. She just wanted to use her as a stepping stone to bring down Emily.

Scarlett said, "Accepting you or not depends on your abilities. To be honest, I called you here today to tell you that getting my son is not easy. You think that by holding onto him, you can hold onto his heart. But have you thought about that Emily's with him every day now? No matter how close you two are, can it compare to her being by his side all the time? Think about it, there's a lot to learn."

Scarlett took another sip of her coffee, looking all smug. Sophia felt a wave of irritation but kept it to herself.

She cursed inwardly, 'Learn? If anyone needs to learn, it's you from me. Remember, I was the one who kidnapped your daughter and tricked your son into thinking I was pregnant. I've tried everything, but Emily still succeeded.' Sophia complained inwardly, 'What can I do? Do you think I don't want to? But you... you tried to harm your son and daughter-in-law and ended up in jail. If Michael hadn't shown mercy, do you think you'd be out now?'

As Sophia fumed inside, Scarlett looked at her again, scrutinizing her before cautiously speaking. "What are you thinking? You don't think I'm talking nonsense, do you? But it's up to you. You want Michael, not me. I'm his mother; he has to acknowledge me no matter what. Not just him, but Veda, Mason, the Smith family, and even the entire Smith Corporation... They all have to acknowledge me. If you believe what I'm saying, take it to heart. If not, just consider it as me talking nonsense."

With that, Scarlett stood up to leave.

Fortunately, Sophia's mind worked quickly. She realized she had no other options, and Scarlett might be her only breakthrough. As for Scarlett wanting to use her... well, no one was a fool. It was yet to be seen who would really be the one being used.

"Scarlett, how could I not listen to you? I've always respected you, even calling you 'Mom' in my heart!" As she spoke, Sophia inexplicably blushed.

Scarlett knew Sophia was eloquent and understood her tricks. She knew everything but didn't expose it, keeping it all inside. After all, her target was Emily, not Sophia.

Scarlett said, "Alright, let me make it clear. You want to marry into the Smith family, I agree. But Mason is a tough nut to crack, and my daughter has been influenced by Emily recently, listening to her a lot. So, if you want to achieve your goal, your primary target is to get rid of Emily."

Hearing this, Sophia couldn't help but tremble. She had thought about it before but lacked the courage, only targeting Veda. After her plan was exposed and her accomplices were imprisoned, Sophia became even more fearful. If the Smith family found out, she would have no chance to turn things around. For now, things were stable, but she lived in constant fear. To try again, Sophia had to be cautious and think it through.

But Scarlett didn't see it that way. She blamed Michael for her failure to deal with Emily. She had fallen into her own trap, but this time, Scarlett was fully prepared with a complete plan.
