The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

She went on, "I see you all are just stubborn, not giving in to each other at all. You're in love, but neither of you will own up to it!"

With that, Veda sighed helplessly, walked out to the balcony, and didn't look back.

Michael was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

Veda really had an open mind. Just a few days ago, she had run away from home, but after going out with Kieran to gather some herbs, she seemed to understand everything.

Michael mocked himself for being overly sentimental, but upon reflection, he felt that Veda had a point.

He and Emily were indeed not giving in to each other. Even if they spoke their minds, they still stubbornly pushed each other away.

The next morning, after packing up, they said goodbye to Kieran.

Veda, Michael, Emily, and Daniel set off on their way back to Emerald City.

With Veda around, the journey was much livelier.

Michael couldn't understand what kind of magic Kieran had worked on Veda to make her suddenly get over her heartbreak and even be able to chat and laugh with Daniel.

But him and Emily were still as stubborn as ever.

Throughout the journey, compared to the relaxed and lively atmosphere in the back seat, the couple seemed very awkward. The subtle relationship between them was still something they needed to face and resolve.

Meanwhile, the drama at the Smith Mansion continued to unfold.

The last time Isabella went to the Smith Mansion, she only saw Scarlett. After returning home, she realized that Emily's pregnancy was no small matter. Even if they didn't inform the Smith family, they still needed to let Mason know.

With this in mind, Isabella immediately set off for the Smith Mansion.

She never announced her visits to the Smith Mansion.

This time was no different.

As Isabella walked into the courtyard of the Smith Mansion, she noticed the place was unusually quiet. She frowned, looked around, and didn't see a single servant, which made her suspicious. She continued walking forward.

The front door of the Smith Mansion was open.

Seeing this, Isabella hesitated about whether it was appropriate to enter uninvited. Just as she was debating, she saw a figure flash past her. The person moved quickly and seemed up to no good.

At that moment, Isabella couldn't worry about manners.

She followed cautiously, tiptoeing, thankful she wasn't wearing high heels today.

So, her footsteps made no sound.

The person didn't notice her presence and seemed to be doing something shady, with their head down and face covered, quickly slipping into the kitchen.

The kitchen?

What were they doing in the kitchen?

Could they be tampering with the food?

Isabella's heart tightened. She was well aware of the scheming in wealthy families and knew this could be a matter of life and death for the Smith family. She approached the kitchen even more cautiously.

Although she wasn't familiar with the Smith Mansion, her intuition told her this was no small matter.

At that moment, Scarlett had already taken out the prepared sedative from her pocket. She didn't have the courage to harm Mason directly, so she didn't dare to poison him fatally.

After all, if Michael and Veda returned, they wouldn't let her off easily!

So, she only prepared some mild drugs, just enough to teach Mason a lesson. Despite this, Scarlett was extremely nervous.

This was different from drugging Emily. Even though she had sent most of the Smith family's servants home to rest, her heart was still pounding.

Seeing the packet of drugs being torn open and poured into the beef soup, gradually dissolving, Isabella couldn't help but shout. "What are you doing!"noveldrama

It was almost time for Mason to eat, and it was clear Scarlett intended to harm him. Isabella couldn't believe Scarlett was so ruthless.

Such a venomous woman couldn't stay in the house!

If Emily continued to live with Scarlett, she and the baby would be in serious danger!

Thinking of this, Isabella couldn't hold back any longer. She stepped forward, ready to expose Scarlett.

Scarlett was startled by Isabella's sudden appearance.

She immediately threw the drug packet into the nearby coal stove, burning it to ashes.

Seeing this, Isabella stepped forward and pointed at Scarlett's nose, cursing.

"I didn't expect you to be so vicious! It shows how you've been harming Emily all along!"

Seeing Isabella's furious expression, Scarlett knew she must have seen the whole drugging process. But she wasn't afraid. After all, there were no cameras in the kitchen, and even if caught red-handed, she could still deny it.

Scarlett had thought this through.

Although nervous, she was prepared for this.

Why would she fear Isabella's sudden arrival? At worst, she could frame her!

She retorted, "Why are you shouting here? Isabella, I see you and Emily are truly mother and daughter, having no sense of propriety in someone else's house! "And who harmed your daughter? When did you see me harm her?"

"You!" Isabella was so angry she couldn't respond, glaring at Scarlett.

Scarlett, on the other hand, had no need to hide now that she had been discovered.

Isabella's shouting would surely attract others.

So, she might as well take this opportunity to play the victim.

"Isabella, what are you doing here?" Scarlett gritted her teeth and asked.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Mason and Benjamin arrived, drawn by the noise.

"Why's there such a ruckus in the kitchen? What's going on? Is the food

ready..." Mason asked, then noticed Isabella and immediately changed his expression, smiling. "Isabella is here."

Isabella's eyes were filled with anger towards Scarlett, as if she would burst into flames the next second.

Mason noticed this but didn't ask.

The next second, Isabella said to him. "Mr. Smith. I... I came to see you."

Scarlett had destroyed the evidence and put all the drugs into the beef soup.

Isabella didn't know what Scarlett was up to and couldn't make a hasty conclusion.

"Yes, Dad, Isabella came to see you! Look how sincere she is, treating us like family. She came empty-handed, which is quite interesting!" Scarlett quickly chimed in, sarcastically mocking Isabella.

She was experienced in harming others, and with a few words, she diverted Mason's attention to Isabella.

The earlier tension vanished in an instant.

She didn't look like someone who had just drugged the beef soup.
