The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

After leaving JM Jewelry Company, Emily made a beeline for Smith Corporation.

As soon as she stepped off the elevator, the receptionist jumped up to greet her. "Mrs. Smith."

Everyone at Smith Corporation knew how much Emily meant to Michael, and they also knew she wasn't someone to mess with. She wasn't just Michael's wife; she had her own clout. The employees had long agreed on this.

"Mrs. Smith isn't your typical housewife. She's got her own job and is tight with the president of JM Jewelry Company. I even heard the president wants to make her his goddaughter." "Mrs. Smith has her own worth. She'd be fine without Mr. Smith. If I could be financially free like her, why would I even bother getting married?"

"That's not the whole story. Mr. Smith is also super handsome and successful. They're a power couple, both talented and strong. It's a perfect balance."

"But I heard Mrs. Smith is planning to divorce Mr. Smith soon. Is that true?"

"That's just gossip. What wealthy marriage isn't a bit messy? And which rich family would be cool with a woman as ambitious as Mrs. Smith?"

"There might be some truth to the rumors..."

The gossip spread like wildfire.

But in front of Emily, everyone showed respect.

Emily always kept her distance from Michael and maintained proper boundaries.

"Is Mr. Smith here?" she asked.

Emily had already quit the secretary's office.

The last time she was at Smith Corporation, she noticed a new face in the secretary's office.

With a newcomer in place, she figured she wasn't needed anymore.

But she didn't ask Michael about it. Instead, she just stopped coming to work and focused on her beloved JM Jewelry Company.

Today, she walked straight to the reception desk and politely asked about Michael's whereabouts.

The receptionist was taken aback.

Logically, Emily could just head straight to the CEO's office.

Why bother asking them?

Now they were stuck. Should they say, "Do you have an appointment?" or "Please wait a moment, I'll check?"

Seeing the receptionist's hesitation, Emily shook her head and said, "I'll go in and find him. Thanks."

Emily knocked on the door, and someone inside responded.

She walked in alone, and her white dress immediately caught Michael's eye.

Today, Emily hadn't dressed up much, but she always looked gentle and sweet. Plus, she had rushed over to find him, making her face look pink and super cute.

"You're here early. How's your foot? Who brought you here this morning?" Emily asked.

Michael raised an eyebrow. "It's work hours now. You came all the way from JM Jewelry Company just to ask me this?"

Emily knew she could never win an argument with Michael, so she switched topics. "I wanted the receptionist to notify you before I came in, but they... and I..."

Seeing Emily hesitate, Michael, knowing what she wanted to say, continued to tease her. "Don't scare my employees. They're all pretty timid and naturally don't dare to provoke you, Mrs. Smith." Hearing Michael emphasize the last title, Emily was momentarily taken aback but quickly regained her composure.

She didn't come here to argue with Michael. "I heard you sued Brown Corporation? Why them?"

Emily's implication was clear. It was Sophia who caused the trouble, but suing the entire Brown Corporation would be a huge deal in Emerald City.

Michael had to know that the whole business circle was watching Smith Corporation's every move.novelbin

Now, with this explosive news, Brown Corporation would take a hit, and everyone would be watching to see how the two companies handled it.

So Michael deliberately made a big deal out of it.

"I don't like Hayden. Is that reason enough?" Michael looked at Emily and answered calmly.

After a long stare, Michael couldn't help but continue. "You've been married to me for years, and even though our relationship isn't great, I've always seen how Hayden treated you. Besides, you went back to the Brown Villa to take back Brown Corporation, didn't you?"

Emily was stunned.

She didn't expect Michael to do this for her.

Emily suddenly felt her heart race, as if her entire body was being pulled into a strange state.

Michael added, "I know you didn't want to make a big deal out of it for the sake of Smith Corporation and me. You're Mrs. Smith in name, and if you have a big fallout with your family, it wouldn't look good, and it might even affect me. But Emily, I don't need you to consider so much. I don't need you to wrong yourself for me."

At this moment, Emily suddenly remembered what Penelope had said to her. "Don't wrong yourself for anyone."

Yes, for so many years, Emily had been wronging herself for everything. Who had ever done anything for her?

Now it seemed that Michael was the first person to care about her.

Since that was the case, Emily had nothing more to say. She first thanked Michael and then said directly, "I took leave from Penelope. I've decided to sue Hayden and his family myself. This matter has been dragging on for too long. It needs to be resolved. Besides, I've given them time. If I continue to tolerate it, it would be disrespectful to myself. Don't you think so, Mr. Smith?"

Michael didn't expect Emily to make such a big decision.

He wanted to ask if Emily had thought about the public opinion that would follow and what she would do if the Brown family won the case.

But seeing Emily's determined expression, he swallowed his words and responded, "Alright, I'll withdraw the lawsuit and leave the stage to you. But, I have one request."

Emily didn't know what Michael wanted to do. She frowned, looking puzzled.

The next second, Michael stood up with his hands in his pockets, tilting his head with a roguish look. "I want to attend the trial as your husband and fight this case with you. Of course, don't think I'm doing it for you. Just consider it for Smith Corporation and myself."

Michael knew that if he didn't add this last sentence, the extremely proud Emily would never agree.

Fortunately, he added it, and after some thought, Emily nodded. "Alright, then let's have a pleasant cooperation."

Michael smiled, "Pleasant cooperation, Mrs. Smith."
